  • Why did it go so steep?

  • i would like to know where this flight was going. thank you.

  • @MyAndrew987 Barcelona

  • beautiful sound.

  • @MattyB1703 yes they are in America currently being converted

  • The Boeing 757 is a POCKET ROCKET; GREASED LIGHTENING. The FASTEST airliner in the SKY!

  • Last time I saw this plane, I was working for BA at gatwick and it was missing its port engine. As far as I am aware, it was being sold to FedEx for them to use as a cargo plane.

  • What meals were you served? I am going going in British Airways too and in the same plane and I land in London too. But I am worried about the food. I know that it takes 9 hours to get there. Can you please tell me everything they served you?

  • Just Check the altitude when he passes T5 unbelievable take off..

  • Awesome video just love the 757 superb aircraft.

  • 1:20 <3

  • Awesome video! Love the engine noise, and the power down!

  • The four dislikes were off General Electrical employees

  • Nice what time and date was this?

  • @faz4321 April 4th, 2010. Flight departing LHR at 9.20 am

  • 60 * 1500(thrust red height approximatively) /20 = 4500 feet/min

    This, is awesome

  • Thrust reduction before T5! Amazing!

  • Hiss idle power, Howl 28% power, Whine Half Power, Growl FULL POWER! Love the RB211-535

  • Love hearing the engine De-rate after takeoff, and then cruise thrust later in the video. Great post! :)

  • @jlebesis Thanks!

  • @pkaplan747 wow, the pilots reduced those engines as hell with the aircraft still going up :-D nice

  • @jlebesis I hate flying! The De-rate always scares the SHIT out of me!!

  • @drewditty me too think engine failure

  • very fast take off

  • Comment removed

  • 2:03 nice to see a 747-400 and 777-300 so close to each other

  • Kick ass plane. my dad used to fly on them for BA, and the 767 - 300 fleet. Was at gatwick the other week and some of BA's 757's are all just sitting there by the hanger doing nothing. he a got a little teary bless him. Sick video! Rolls Royce engines For the win!

  • Icing conditions in the clouds ! @ 4:30

  • tornado 0.5-0.12

  • great video of the plane climbing thru the clouds to get om top.

  • Just wondering, does the plane move itself on the taxi-way with the power of the engines? Just wondering.

  • Stupid BA! Withdrawling the 757s! Those are great planes...

  • Reminds me of the steep takeoff I experienced with Continental 757-200 a couple of years ago going from Arlanda to Newark

  • Nice video man!

  • A lightly loaded 757 and a maximum climb after takeoff gives real meaning to the expression "like a bat out of hell"—it's great! And you captured it well, thanks!

  • @Mxsmanic Thanks!

  • @Mxsmanic The 752 probably has the highest thrust to weight ratio of any large commercial passenger jet, most pilots i've talked to call it a rocket compared to most others saying it's one of the quickest planes off the runway and to reach initial cruise, with typical climbs at 4-5000fpm all the way to fl340-380, sad to see many airlines give them up.

  • Excellent video, and along with the extensive ariel view of Heathrow, makes this more enjoyable.

  • pkaplan747 Did you climb to 5000 for niose purposes?

  • Very nice, I love 757's but an MD80 series or a MD90 would climb way faster than a 757. But of course, the 757 is much a better airplane.

  • Comment removed

  • @AirplaneVideos1 1 I have never heard of any airline pilot or aviation buff praising the climb performance of the MD-80/90 or referring to them as "rockets" as they do the 757. I'm quite sure 757s are superior to the MDs when climb performance is considered. 757s are known to be over-powered, esp. Rolls Royce ones. I've seen videos of 757s doing nearly vertical climbouts during airshows. I've never seen a MD-80/90 do that before. 757s also have superior hot & high performance.

  • @Neno8403 Ok, Sorry about that, you win. Some people told me that the MD's climb rate was superior. But well. Now I know the truth. It is sad that Boeing discontinued the 757!!

  • I am amazed with the aviation and I intend to follow pilot's career and this video showed me that my place is near the airplanes.... Great video

  • @HDMI85 Glad to see this comment! All the best for your career!

  • @pkaplan747 thanks

  • wow you mustve been really light on that flight. steep climbout even with a de-rated takeoff. nice. RR Rb211s are the best.

  • @Mysticlambo Could be light on fuel (LHR-BCN leg) but the plane was 100% full of pax

  • The RR-powered 757s are truly amazing. I saw one taking off from DCA while planespotting. A regional jet tookoff behind it. The 757 lifted off considerably faster/earlier than the regional jet. I was VERY impressed.

  • @Neno8403 757 were always powered by RR RB211's or were they powered by other engines before??

  • @AirplaneVideos1 757s are powered by either RR RB211s or Pratt & Whitney engines.

  • Love the 57's always my favorite to fly! RB211's are amazing.

  • why didn't it had winglets?

  • @afcaj0od 757s never originally had winglets, they were a recent modification and most airlines still dont have them

  • @Mr757dude i know but this video is only 1 year old...

    in a lot of the 09 video's you can see winglets

  • @afcaj0od Why would it have winglets, considering winglets are not standard on 757s? Especially considering all of BA's 757 have now been withdrawn from service. Why would BA incur the huge costs of retrofitting an aircraft with winglets that was about to be withdrawn from service??

  • I was there on that emirates flight!

  • @planes1997 really! cool

  • What fun i'd have loved to experience such a fast take off roll and steep climb out!

  • @richygambs321 Well, there are many 757s flying around so you can still have it

  • @pkaplan747 im on two 757-200s this weekend and i hope they get up like this one did

  • @richygambs321  Damn what a size of airport, fast take off it was like here is the ground and here is the sky.

  • nice vid, nice view too

  • My favourite a/c. It's a shame that BA no longer use them but they were getting long in the tooth and a little impractical (loose loading, etc). They now belong to DHL.

  • Only the Space Shuttle ascends faster.

  • A long time ago, I was scarred when the pilot reduce trhust on climb-out, I thought that the engine are shutting down.

  • the part were you broke through the clouds was awsome

  • I hope you are cool with me adding my video?....it shows how steep the B757.200 climbs out of LHR compared to my climb out of LHR from the same runway on a A320....Thanks for posting this fantastic steep take off :)

  • Absolutely sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!5/5

  • 2:06 just 4 gorgeous A340-600s

  • Takes a while for the plane to leave Heathrow doesn't it?

  • that last minute of footage was stunning, the engines are so quiet and the best view ever!!

  • NIce!

  • @XXXGhostGrenadeXXX Thanks for your multiple comments!

  • Great steep climb, gotta love it.

  • Nice SAS md-87 in the start of the film.. lovely sound of the engines while heading down the runway. SAS 4 -ever :D!

  • love that turbine sound, takeoff was amazing.

  • Beast Engine

  • F*CKING HELL!!!!! ITS ROARING!!!!!

  • Man! The 757 is one of my favorites, it was just born to fly! Those Rolls Royce engines run so precisely and smooth.

  • What was the date of this flight if you don't mind me asking ? (:

  • @KarterMicroman April 4, 2010. Flight departing 9.20 am from LHR bound for BCN

  • @KarterMicroman April 4, 2010. Flight departing 9.20 am from LHR bound for BCN

  • try going out of izmir adnan menderes on 757 it's a got a long RAF runway and when we were flying back to newcastle they put it on about 85% and then it would take-off the it roared even louder and we went up VERY steep and it felt like we had verbal diarreha :L but they were right well be over to newcastle in a flash cause we got 9 hour delay and the flight felt like 10 minutes!

  • I've only ever been on 3 types of aircraft. DC-9 (I'd have been better off on a pogo stick to be honest) a 737 which was comfortable but the 757's were amazing. 757's don't "take off" they launch themselves off of the runway :P

    Thank you for the upload pkaplan747 :)

  • I love the sounds of those Rolls Royce RB211s.

  • lmao "Speed Bird four two seven.. unrestricted climb, cleared for takeoff."

    (totally a former RAF pilot)

  • I liked the two A380s parked next to each other at 1:59

  • You call that steep? It looks more like you pointed the camera downwards a bit to make it look steep. from the view you were looking at it looks steep when it actually isn't

  • @flightsimulatorXpert your an idiot, how can u explain the size of the aircraft on the ground? Maybe they were remote controlled models!!

  • This and the a300 are my favourite planes. The noise to those Rolls Royces :D

  • jet engines!

  • The sound is amazing, but the climb-out rate is unbelievable. Added to my favs, awesome video!!!

  • This video is really great, the 757's have such a powerful take off! I was lucky enough to get a picture in CPET's flight deck a month before retirement.

  • BA '57s all gone now...

  • Realy great ! I I´ve been on a BA 742 too. I was booked on a flight from LHR to ORD. It was the opposite from the take-off shown here. It felt endless and the people on board got nervous. The Jumbo took off right at the end of the runway ! That was realy a bit scary. You had the feeling that it was not a plane you were sitting in, it felt like a bus ! :-) So it is good to see that an old 742 is still able to make a powerfull start and climb... ;-)

  • Do you remember how full the flight was? That is one awesome take off!!

  • @dave4shmups 100% full.

  • What was the seat number please?

  • @williamwilbur 7F or 8F IIRC

  • @pkaplan747 Oh thanks, I don't know if you know embraer 190's but I am going to faro on one and I have got row 1 will I see the engine still?

  • @williamwilbur You probably still will, but rows 4, 5 would be better....

  • loved it... i can fly any day

  • I noticed that around 2:16 they really throttle back the RRs! Is that to conserve fuel? Because those things below the plane don't look like private homes on a quiet street.

  • @Zickcermacity they throttle down because otherwise they go too fast not to conserve fuel mate.. if you noticed the plane went up fast and steep, if they wuda left the throttle at full power the plane would have been too fast and made it uncomfortable for the passengers.

  • @Thanhkim

    WOW. I never thought of it that way! Here in the states the only reason they throttle back like that is an idiotic provision based on "NIMBY".

    WTH is NIMBY, you may ask? Not In My Back Yard! Seriously, folks here in the states are wusses. They build 400,000pound homes within 5 miles of an AIRPORT and expect pilots responsible for hundreds of lives, including those on the ground around the airport, to TIP-TOE past their McMansions! It's called "noise abatement". LOL!

  • @Zickcermacity err no. The reason the plane throttles back is because the plane is switching from take off power to climb power. Engines can't run at high power settings for too long as this can damage them. The reason the plane throttles back further is because ATC has assigned them to maintain their altitude for whatever reason.

  • @Edwiness

    I beg your pardon, but while your assessment is valid I have it on authority from commercial airline pilots themselves that it is done in some regions of the U.S. for noise abatement measures. I am not Fox News - I do not spew nonsense arbitrarily. BOTH the reason you stated and the one I stated are correct.

  • @Zickcermacity

    I was wondering if noise abatement was the reason the take-off angle was so steep. I've flown out of Charlotte, NC twice now and I've noticed a marked difference in takeoff speed, thrust, and angle out of the airport. I mean the takeoff really throws you back in your seat more than most. At least that is what I noticed. I've always thought that this was because the pilots had to get to a certain altitude quickly and drop power for noise abatement. Thanks.

  • @Zickcermacity Your comment was aimed more at Thanhkim tbh. There are certain noise abatement procedures at airports such as SNA but this isn't the reason why the plane throttles back in this video. And even if it were using this procedure the result wouldn't be that much different.

  • @Edwiness

    I never said it was the reason in this video. I was just being facetious and at the same time curious why he was throttling back while still clearly over airport property with dozens of aircraft below taxiing or taking on passengers. In this specific video your explanation seems the more accurate. I simply brought up abatement because that is a BIG reason why it is done in the States, at least.

  • NICE passenger seat Takeoff! You AVOIDED ALL the mistakes typically made when filming this sort of thing:

    -Too zoomed in.

    -Camera shake(see too zoomed in).

    -And the biggest one: Keeping the camera level with the horizon during take off!! Videos like that make it feel like your'e just in a fast elevator. BORING! Keep the camera inline with the PLANE - like it's attached to it.

    This video make you really feel the angle of takeoff. Keep 'em coming!

  • @Zickcermacity Thanks...I actually wanted to film a plane taking off and not the landscape around ;) Definitely there will be more coming!

  • @pkaplan747

    I hope the people who need to see our advice do actually see it and learn from it, pk.

  • The 757 is a powerful aircraft, especially when used for Europe services since it is quite light on fuel.

    I wonder if it has a superior thrust to weight ratio than the 767 since I was told by a check captain that the 767 has the highest thrust to weight ratio....

  • 2 A380's in the backround!

    Damn that was powerfull!!

  • Love this video - just shared it with all of my (pilot) friends!!

  • it is sad that BA are taking the 757 out of their fleet and replacing them with airbus's

  • Fantastic display of power! Thanks for sharing :)

  • 0-140MPH+ in 25 seconds brilliant!

  • One crazy ass takeoff! I love this plane!

  • It reached the clouds before leaving he vicinity of the airport....WOW!

  • THAT IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE, THEY REDUCED POWER OVER THE RUNWAY AND BEFORE T5B FUKIN AWESOME!!!!!

  • @pilotanthony FUCK YA!!!

  • @boeing757200american fuk off cunt

  • @pilotanthony OK! I WILL

  • i always find it hard to believe that 3:57 is what is above the clouds. it's so beautiful and clean looking!

  • The runway was wet, so the flight crew probably used full power to get to v1 faster, hence the quick/steep take off.

  • Fabulous! That thing went upward like a homesick angel!!

    So sad to see these beauties all gone now. :(

  • 2:12 - 2:35 WTF is that plane on the grass?

  • @TheLuigifan007 i saw it to!!

  • @wilatemodel @TheLiugifan007 If you look closely, you'll see it's on a taxiway and it moves through the clip. If it was on the grass, it would sink into the soft ground and be stuck.

  • @wilatemodel @TheLuigifan007 If you look closely, you'll see it's on a taxiway and it moves through the clip. If it was on the grass, it would sink into the soft ground and be stuck.

  • @TheLuigifan007 that plane vacated 27R on A10E taxiway.

  • WOOOOW!!!!! Excellent Vid! thanks for sharing!!!!

  • WOW! Seriously awesome! The only way any aircraft can takeoff like this is for many reasons.

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i LOOOVVEEEE THE WINE :)

  • gotta love those rolls royce RB211's...awesome to the max

  • great vid , overveiw of the terminals amazing loved it thanks !!

  • The 757 is a BEAST :)

  • That is just sick! It can't have been anyone onboard? must have been extremely light? Didn't look like a very steep climb, just an amazing mount of lift. Awesome video! like!

  • Steep take off, but at least he didn't bank at a crazy angle at the same time...it actually looked like it was pretty level the whole time! Except at the end! At least he waited to get out of that cloud cover....I hate it when pilots bank in cloudy/bumpy patches.

  • Steep take off, but at least he didn't bank at a crazy angle at the same time...it actually looked like it was pretty level the whole time!

  • @nishL  you got that right! lol

  • this video compares awesomeness with more awesomeness

  • Pretty hella awesome video pal :)

  • I miss these British Airways 757's already! I feel like they were retired a bit early. Atleast i've gotten to fly on one before

  • Just GREAT !!!!!

  • 2:02 quantas a380

  • @mattyb5rockies QANTAS

  • @steverow50

    Oh my bad lol

  • The RB211 and the 757 - great match. Trent 900 and the A380 (Qantas incident last week) will be a great match as the Trent RB211- 900 is a superb engine. But RR will have to sort the problem with the engine thoroughly and quickly.

  • I always Flew on a BA757 to Berlin and occasionally when i came back from Frankfurt.. when i sat at the window i always watched the RB engines blades..I get amused or interested quite quickly lol.. I never knew why they flew 757s to Berlin though..Plane was never full.. But then they did change them to A319s when they came into service.. Shame but oh well.. Fare well BA757s

  • Can you hear the engines slowing after gaining height?

  • WOW SHE CAN CLIMB!

  • @pilotanthony OMG YEAH!

  • Nicely filmed and good sound, that was one steep climb out

  • loved to have seen this vid shot from the ground as well!

  • Amazing piece of BA history now. What a takeoff...must have reached a couple of thousand feet before even passing terminal 5!

  • RIP BA 757 - Last flight today 30/10/10

  • WOW!!!! that was a really fast takeoff and the climb was insane!! Must have been like 3200 feet per minute!

  • wtf ? wat was the stuff coming out of the engine ?? 0:06 0:12

  • @Keelz7196 that was the water vaper from the ground being sucked into the engine. I was in a 777 going to Tokyo and the samething happened. its just water just gets sucked into the engine and it looks like a tornado. its pretty cool

  • @Keelz7196 that´s water vapour from the taxiway being sucked into the engine.

  • @Keelz7196 Probably just some water!!! Looked like that it rained, there!!! Nothing to be worried about!!!

  • @Keelz7196 Nothing's coming out of it. That's condensation forming in the air that the engine is sucking in.

  • @Keelz7196 How many thousand people have responded to your comment with the exact same thing?

  • @Maxables lol dont know

  • @Keelz7196 must be some type wind twister effect that the engine produced since it sucks air through right there, maybe a mix of hot air from the engine and cold air from outside created that.

  • @Keelz7196 its taking a piss

  • @Keelz7196 vortex

  • looks like u leveled off at 5000 feet above the runway!
