Rain is ok, Thunderstorms scare the F'in Sh**t out of me, and snow is ok too, but ice is just as bad as thunderstorms. Never taken off from Midway while it's raining though. Last year, I landed during a thunderstorm at Boston Logan on Virgin America, and it was so scary it was the first time in 30 years of flying that I actually prayed during the descent. LOL....even seasoned flyers get nervous too.
one thing about rain in chicago when taking off it starts to be bumpy but with southwest it is unexpected with their take off it catches you off guard but when they make that turn to take off the full force and the speed are like wtf but It is a great video but scary you guys have guts
@dcottp2007 yeah, the whole way to the runway was pretty bumpy. i'm usually not afraid of take offs but this one threw me off and i had goosebumps the entire time. lol
I wish Pittsburgh Airport was busier because I love to watch planes takeoff and land. It should be busier because it is a huge airport and there is an 11,000 foot runway so almost any plane could land there. Nice video!
it was raining that day and mostly all the southwest airlines i went on, usually do a take off like this one in the video. I love flying but, all the time.... taking off makes me have this weird feeling in my stomach and i keep thinking...OH MY GOD...that could've been the last time i could be alive on the ground.
@oldmixedtapess if you think that one caught you off guard, you should've been on the Southwest flight we took from Philly to Tampa, the takeoff was even steeper than this one. Chicago Midway has very short runways for jets like this one (the 737-700) and bigger, and that's why he put the throttle up while turning onto the runway because he had to get it off ASAP and he got it off real quick and that's probably part of the reason why you got caught off guard
they got cleared for take off because it means that there arent any aircraft in the way of them so they are clear of all aircraft if its that bad out they can use their instruments cleared for take off doesnt have to do with weather
good vid. taking off in rough weather is scary. i flew southwest out of seattle one time during a snow storm. we had clearance for take off, but idk why. the snow and fog were so thick you couldnt see the wing tip.
There was nothing wrong with that takeoff roll. The aircraft was not off the ground too early. The captain and FO have to wait until the aircraft reaches a certain speed known as the rotation speed, then they can pull back on the yoke.
Please watch your language swa5297! You MAY NOT use vulgar or any offensive language at anytime or any reason NO MATTER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! I will NOT tolerate ANY bad language! You owe me a sincere apology for your bad language. If you keep on using vulgar language swa5297 and/or refuse to apologize for it, I will not allow you to comment on me or any of my videos ANYMORE! NO MORE VULGAR LANGUAGE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE PLEASE!
hahahhahahahahahhahahah you're such a joke! first of all learn how to speak english. Goodluck getting that sincere apology. O and by the way, you're retarded for thinking that saying "NO MORE VULGAR LANGUAGE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE PLEASE!" is really going to make a difference.

Lol. If you don't like vulgar language on Youtube, then why don't you stop getting on it. It's freedom of speech, so he can say whatever he wants, and you can't stop anyone from talking the way they want.
@hcp051000 BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! It's not like you're the boss of anyone, you can't control what Swa5297 says or does! And he can say whatever he wants whether you like it or not, okay? And just because you saying that he's not allowed using that language and he has to apologize for it, won't make him stop using it. You're just a wannabe internet role model and that tells me that you're just an idiot, get a life. Also, quit trolling every Southwest video saying the take off is too short.
Lol, you're welcome. But you obviously just pulled that lame comeback out of your butt because it makes no sense. Go get help. Idiot. "LOOK AT ME, I'M HCP051000, AND I LOVE TYPING IN ALL CAPITALS A LOT!"
OKAY Pober135!!!! If you spend more than what you have in your bank account, YOU GET AN OVERDRAFT IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT and you have to DEPOSIT MORE MONEY ONTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT to maintain a POSITIVE BALANCE!!!!!!
yeah. i usually go on USA 3000 from florida to chicago but at that point i lived in north carolina and neither airports (Raleigh and Charlotte had USA 3000)
that's the sounds from landing gears retracting up and the flaps...really cool view thou,what camera you've been using... just wondering?...really like seat in that sections?...try to seat next to the engine,u could see the trust reverser deploy during landing must be even bettter view!

The takeoff party on the runway is WAY TOO SHORT and the plane is off the ground WAY TOO EARLY.
Hope you will film a longer takeoff party on Southwest Airlines next time.
Takeoff party score is:
14 out of 20 T
he plane is off the ground way TOO EARLY.
