If you were heading to Detroit then why were you guys facing the Atlantic ocean?

I stoped the video right as we started to turn left over the water

[schooled6]

so where were you going?

[whodatyo]

Detroit, Michigan

Good video, this was a public jumbo jet right?

[whodatyo]

yes it was a public flight, but it was only a DC-9, not quite a jumbo.

FYI...that airport is on the Cheaspeake Bay not the Atlantic. Runways run north and south there.

@schooled6

I came in to Norfolk from Cincinatti and we landed from the ocean side... it's all just air traffic control flight paths.

It depends on where the wind is coming from airplanes take off into the wind to maximize lift. so that day the wind was coming in from the ocean and that isn't the atlantic ocean its the chesapeake bay thank you.

ur suppose to turn of ALL electronics

[ShaefDawg]

yeah, it depends on the direction of the wind. i take NWA everywhere out of norfolk, and most of the time the wind is coming from the east, so we take off from the opposite direction the aircraft in the video took off from. however, on occasion, a low pressure system that may be in or close enough to the airport may cause those winds to shift, causing planes to be directed to take off from west to east (like the one in the video shown).

It depends on the direction of an airports runways! An aircraft may take off in one direction (North, South, East or West) that's opposite of where their flying to but will turn around once air born.

[buckinorf]

I live in Willoughby Spit, and one of my most favorite things in the world is to take off over the Chesapeake Bay and see exactly what you've capured here. GOOD JOB!
