[mrlego330]

when was this?

[kj762aa]

Back in the day...

[xTomcatsForeverVF84x]

I'd take a DC-10 anyday over the the 757 or 767...

Now continental flies the 757 accross the Atlantic. Where is this world coming to....

I like DC-10 even though I never go on-board on it before.Its nose are sharp and it suits the design of the DC10.I wish DC-10s are still in service...

@GalaxyMaster99 ..yes, it was a nice looking jet and great to fly on, but sadly ..not the best safety record.The worst single aircraft disaster was an AA DC-10 taking off and rolling like this..but never recovered because an engine had fallen off...and this was not a design flaw, but due to a man made maintenance error.

was that a airtran 717 i saw!!!!!!!!!

[Starboard76]

@mrknowledge111 ..indeed it was -

[kenpalmer1965]

That was an awesome roll indeed on that takeoff! The sound was great too! Superb job!

[ktbryant]

Nice shooting.

[737FSPilot]

When was this shot? Pretty cool....

[airasiax]

@737FSPilot possibly early 2000s

Fantastic catch!

Must have had clearance to turn that quickly. Can't tell where the DC-10 was in relation to the end of the runway when it began to turn, but if it did turn before it reached the end that's a no-no.

Again, great video!

[Starboard76]

@TheTemest Thanks...and it looks like he turned early to me too!

[granzukakoko]

@TheTemest Really it´s not allowed by law, to turn before the runway ends ???

[d0rkiishchris]

@granzukakoko actually its fine. If the pilot is told "After departure fly heading 090, maintain 3000, Winds 180 @ 06, Runway 22L Cleared for takeoff" its pilots discretion when he turns. I don't remember any rule saying he cannot turn before the end of the runway in ATC school. Pretty sure there isn't. As long as the pilot can maintain visual seperation from the terrain, I don't think there is a specific rule.

[d0rkiishchris]

@granzukakoko When I flew from a small airport that had a noise abatement procedure, we commonly would turn pretty much right after getting airbourne. Maybe give myself 100ft, then turn, but it always ended up before the end of the runway. Many other pilots did the same, some aggressively. So if it is a rule, no ones enforcing it. I've never heard tower say someone turned too soon. Whoever said its a rule is a Flight Sim junky and thinks they know it all. I may be wrong.

SB you've got such a collection.. even the scary landing was a 757 CO aircraft looks like most CO pilots are Ex. fighter pilots :-)

[Starboard76]

@hmasurg ..well they seemed to know how to 'do their thing' if they were!

[automat1c999]

Very very heavy DC-10..



[linjeflyg]

That is absolutely crazy turn for a commercial "heavy" and you caught it. How many more of this do you have in your 1000TB hard drive ??

[Starboard76]

@linjeflyg ooh man, my dream drive ....a petabyte Hard Drive, I'd be in heaven! I'd never leave the house loading up stuff on that baby. I probably have a few more 'dramatic' clips lying around in the shoebox.
