Air New Zealand Boeing 777-200ER departing Los Angeles

Taken from seat 6A on NZ2, Auckland to London flight via Los Angeles, departing Runway 24L from Los Angeles on 26 Dec 08. Note the two QANTAS A380's on the take-off roll parked on the LAX remote stand. At the time of filming, meant they had not been in service long.

Hey is that buzzing sound coming from the plane or is it the microphone on the camera

[AirNewZealandUK]

@devilation10 The footage was only taken with my little hand held digital camera and the microphone is probably struggling with a range of sounds so it does sound a bit distorted. You've got the sound of the engines but also I was leaning right over the air conditioning ducts (to help keep the area around the seat cool due to IFE heat etc) behind the Business seats taking this footage which probably doesn't help the overall quality.

how many pasengers does it carrey?



[AirNewZealandUK]

@chaghar Air New Zealand currently seats 304 on the 777-200ER. 26 in Business Premier, 36 in Premium Economy and 242 in Economy.

@bogartdad That is great to hear! LHR lounge is a Star Alliance lounge so only so much that can be done with that one, but that LAX lounge is Air New Zealand's own so can stamp our our personality on that one. Will miss the 747 on that LHR route when it finishes in 5 months, but come Apr 2011 the brand new 777-300ER's will be up and flying with an even better Business Premier cabin so you can look forward to that! Although it's the work our crew do that sets us apart as much as anything!

@LastXdeth

I meant Trent 895.

[LastXdeth]

@EmadIV The 7-200ER does not utilize RR 892. It uses either PW 4090, RR 895, GE 90.

[EmadIV]

@LastXdeth

This is not a GE90; it's a Rolls-Royce Trent 892.

[LastXdeth]

GE 90 is so mesmerizing!

@devilation10

Uh uh... that, my friend, is the famous "buzz-saw" of the Trent800. Fabulous! ;)

@EmadIV

Yes they are taken with a Sony DSC-120and thanks for watching. I woudlnt say they are extreme though, just well filmed!

I am counting the days until AA gets the 773. Apparently it will be used on flights to mainland China. I dont really have a desire to go there (I have been to the rest of Asia and SE Asia though as well as HK)...so we will see.

@onecunningfox

Wow, those extreme videos of yours are taken by A Sony DSC-120? Certainly amazing.

*counting the days left for the AA 777-300ER video*

[EmadIV]

Really the best!

[mrblujet]

Very nice video. Always enjoy hearing the Trents' fire-up !

[onecunningfox]

Nice video! Love ANZ (I am half Kiwi). I have attached my American Airlines LAX to LHR from teh other side of the runway. You can see the full SIDS LOOP4 departure procedure....

Good job, keep it up! By the way, the small cameras pick up the engine sound very well, as you will see in mine (I used a Sony DSC-120).
