NWA CRJ-900 Takeoff - KGRR

[TheInfamoustrini]

that crj climbed out like rocket ship in just over a minute from wheels up to cruising... wow

[volubleasteroid]

those things scare me i was really worried when i got in my CRJ-900

[Lndmk227]

Anybody else ever wonder what caused the CRJ's engines to make those whistling, "Whoo, whoo, whoo" noises?

I think I like the CRJ's the best. They seem reliable and solidly-built, plus quick and relatively roomie for their size.

great vid! interesting. imo, and yeah, i know there's a stringent company policy) but....by all appearances, he was easlily passing thru 2,000 agl, and STILL had takeoff flaps down. bit late gettin' 'em up, but no harm i suppose. there would also be an Airspeed restriction as far as, Cleaning up before passing say, 200 kias or so. still, awesome video. nice Res.

[Daggr1969]

Looked like there was ice on the runway.

[ferrrariscuderia111]

Great video, 5/5

[boeing737flya]

The 900NG series is my favorite of the regional jets....flew on one summer of 09 I loved it!

[BlueandSimi]

cool video!

[dingdongditch1000]

Green Bay???

[flybywire22]

@dingdongditch1000 Grand Rapids, MI

[dingdongditch1000]

@flybywire22 Close enough for me!!!

[kikipoo25]

@dingdongditch1000 I think it is Grand Rapids. Green Bay is GRB.

[dingdongditch1000]

@kikipoo25 yep, its Grand Rapids!!!

[redddawg14]

the breakout from the clouds was spectacular!

[Fsadon]

Yeah toga trust on those are strong the cold weather makes it generate more thrust too.

[TheMindthought]

Great video.  Thanks for posting it.

[drumdude46]

looks like he had 20 degree flaps set for Departure.......just above above tops of clouds ( 1 minute into climb-which was brisk btw if he got above the layers in a minute or so! what's that: several thousand feet per minute, yes?) you see him raise first degree, from 20 to 8, then, 8 to Clean. nice.

[d2gizzo]

Nice video. You're right about the speed - they really do accelerate fast. I've only been in a CRJ 200, but it was still very fast. I found myself being pushed right back into my seat. :)

[beachbum383]

dude you topped out above the clouds very quickly. i havent been on the new CRJ's but by the looks and speed i cant wait.

[justinnate82]

Yeah dude those CRJ 900's can really haul ass in the air.

[CurtisSalopek]

Its like the F-18 of commercial jet's.

[jvorus]

@CurtisSalopek yeah, the CRJ has lots of power

[dave4shmups]

Awesome man! Was your flight lightly-loaded, or was it full?

[segasonicchoas]

good one u know or anyone knows the normal takeoff flap degree 8 or 20

[cessnawings67]

I never fall below ten with these 900s. I do like having the power and agility.

[pilotmanmax]

20.

[Srirachaa]

8 for long runways 20 for short. At 8 your ref is ususally 140ish, They come in real hot for that size of an airplane. The Canadians really didn't put much of a wing on it.

[flybywire22]

Pretty full actually, quick acceleration none-the less.

[aviationwingnut]

Cool video. I've flown CRJ's many times. That acceleration is really fast.

[runway34r]

You know, I never really liked the way the CRJ-900 looks. It just seems oddly long, almost like it shouldnt be, although Im sure it is very comfortable....

[VirginAtlantic97]

the engines right ive been on one they like push you back into your seat!

[rareairplanes]

I love it so much!!! The quality is so good!!! How the heck did you keep it so still???

[flybywire22]

Pushed the camera against the window, hard lol

[jetfighter2011]

Absolutely great video! :)

[Imachevroletdude]

Absolutely Stunning! I love how there is such a contrast below and above the clouds. Great job!

[flybywire22]

Thanks!

[brandenburg75]

I flew on this aircraft back in July on Northwest from MSP-BDL and I liked it better than the bigger planes, more leg room and more comfort

[rowdybusch51kb18]

you can hear the gear go up at :59

[oilersman95]

i just US Airways would improve theres, it's wat they fly from edmonton to PHX

[KLEBRUN]

Man, that sucker got off the ground and into the clouds quick! Sounds great.

[marinesownu]

the crj 900 is the best plane ive ever been on i went on 1 a few weeks ago and it waz so smooth no turbulance landing and take off waz perfect and quick i like the new delta but i gunna miss nwa

[tengoindiamike]

nice video!

[flybywire22]

Very quiet actually, compared to the DC-9. The DC-9 has almost forty year old Pratt n Whitney engines while the CRJ has brand spanken new General Electrics that have a nice humm to them.

[GTboy96]

was it very loud because i sat at the back of the DC-9 and i could not even hear my self think

[CraZy291]

fantastic video, very smooth, interesting aircraft, cracking sound. 5*

[dtwrj9]

just out of curiosity I see you posted this flight on 12/27/08...what day did you actually take the flight?

[LH164]

wow thats a sick video! I'm taking NWA CRJ-900 from KIND-KRSW on Friday! I'm pumped!

[photopilot2008]

Great takeoff. It's always good to capture punching up thru the cloud layer.

[kikipoo25]

what is kgrr?

[nwaairlinkazo]

thats a runway 17 departure. i've been to GRR before on a DC9 and the diffrence between them and the new embraers or CRJ-900's is indescrible. check out my northwest videos too!!!! great video btw....i subscribed to your videos
