[MonkeyMonkMan]

[juniorLHR]

this a340 600 is going really fast it has probably reached 210 as it rotated from the groung/runway

[zetina2010]

Airbus planes are always so quiet :D

[birminghambabe123]

how long was the flight?

[LudvikM94]

I'am going to newark on a Virgin Atlantic a340-600 in june can't wait, flying from Heathrow.

First time I was on a a340-600 was when I flew from Munich to Charlotte on Lufthansa, it's a dam long aircraft. Nice vid. Rock on Virgin Atlantic

[miltontkeynesgirl]

I can't wait . .doing this exact same route in July . .just upgraded to premium economy. The last 3 planes I went on were Ryanair, Thomas Cook and Thomson so this is gonna feel like a palace!

[lahluv]

[BoeingCam]

He Must Have Taken The Route Were You Go Noth Over Greenland And Into Canada Then Down To California :)

[AIRANORAK]

What route over the UK did you take?

[rajaboy]

The red engines on all Virgin planes are so distinctive. The sound of it revving up is alot different to a 744 lift off which is so loud. RR Trent engines r the best

[keemez]

@rajaboy

Uhh... a "744"?

[Boeing757200A]

@rajaboy you do know that this is an Airbus 340? And anybody else can use the same engines they use, just because the engines are painted red doesn't mean they sound different.

[Chris52879]

Now that my friends is POWER!!!!!!!!!

[sstylianou]

Great video thanks love the engines.

[pega57]

man those engines are sexy

[MikeGinny]

In spite of the four huge RR trents, these planes always seem to have to scrape and crawl for every inch of altitude they get.

[Chris52879]

Even though you say it "scrapes and crawls". Who doesn't love this plane and sound. And it gets you to your destination on time now doesn't it.

[concordskijr]

I love the sound of those RR trents!!!
