Here is the video from our takeoff at Chicago O'Hare International Airport. You can find more videos like this on my youtube channel: MartinsAviation1



We had a good flight over the western United States. It was especially fun to fly over Big Bear Lake in Utah/Idaho which was surrounded by desert. I used FlightRadar24 as we were flying so that my brother and I could look out of the window and see what we were flying over.

    I enjoyed this post Swayne. 737 school starts on Wednesday, so maybe next time I'll be your pilot!

    Have you seen the single engine procedure for RNO when taking off to the south? That hill you can see out the window just before you landed makes for an interesting and complicated procedure.

      I haven't ever seen that procedure before. What is it like? Yep... I filmed a little bit early during landing because it's unusual to get so close to a mountain on final approach!

      Thanks!

    ...of course that isn't the only obstacle that makes the procedure interesting!
