Midwest Airlines MCI-MKE (takeoff)

FLY MIDWEST! "The best care in the air" Kansas City to Milwaukee on Midwest Airlines' B717. Includes some taxiing, and a great takeoff. I purposely compressed the video to a medium-low quality in order to keep the file easy to upload, while not having to sacrifice audio quality.

aww i just realized this vid could become a piece of history, cause there's no more Midwest, and in 10-25 years 717's will prolly be fairly scarce.

what seat were you in?

[airbuscrazy]

Uh, can't remeber exactly, I moved around throughout the flight, but this must've been, 17 or 18.

I love Midwest because it's my hometown airline in MKE. But they aren't doing so great right now, I hope they don't go bankrupt.

Taxi fast enough?

@airbuscrazy to even fly on one is rare, only Airtran and Hawaiian in the U.S,

yes i believe they will be still be serving them. But i believe Frontier crew are having a fit about it because its a "extra chore". I learn this from my dad who works at MKE in airport Operations.

[boeingnerd77]

will they still have thier choco chip cookies'freshly baked on board'

[RCT3fanatic95]

yep beginning of november they did (2nd of november i think). now its the E-Jets and the 135 and 145. Frontier will also be doing services to west coast destiantions and some east coast like Boston and such for republic, covering the routes midwest had for mke. So sad!

[boeing7372]

only on the 717s republic now operates all mainline and express flights using (Embraer E170, E175, E190, and E135/145) and now Frontier Airbuses on some routes
