Sunrise Takeoff of 767 at LAX Video

Beautiful video!! This brought back such good memories of LAX. Do I miss it? YES!! I haven't flown in several years (last time to Laguna Beach) and just hearing the engines brought tears to my eyes. It is still an awesome experience for someone my age who flew her first jet at age 21 in 1961.

When I was flying those sunrise takeoffs I didn’t always appreciate them. Being retired from Delta since 2019 after flying the 767/757 I now miss those beautiful morning launches. Great video with the sound of the engines. The Boeing jets from this era are great handling and performing airplanes and were my all time favorites as a pilot of 50 yrs.

Beautiful.

Love the condensation as the intake air decompresses.

Great video. Brings back memories of the hundreds of dawn flights I made in the late 90's commuting weekly to E Coast on AA 767s. Always had window seat to enjoy view of S Bay coastline - MDR, Manhattan and Hermosa piers, King Harbor, PV peninsula and LA/LB harbors. It never got old as I could sometimes even pick out our house in Manhattan Beach and see our boat slip in King Harbor! Miss flying but now have our shots so will start again soon.

Some great clips on this you tube channel. Thanks for sharing

how cool is that thank you god bless.

Interesting watching the curvature in the wing develop just after rotation at the 1:01 mark.

Very nice video

Wonder how many lbs (kgs) of water came off that aircraft? Probably not inconsequential.

Beautiful, love the sound. I've flown the 767 many times and it's one of my favorite jets, love the 2-4-2 seating in Economy. Going to miss the old Gal.

No offense to the narrow body drivers and enthusiasts, but there’s nothing like a wide body on a domestic route.

Ah, yes, the sunrise illuminating the brown haze of smog over Los Angeles. Yes, I know it was much worse in past years, but it's a reminder of the years I spent growing up in Southern California.

Nothing special or stunning here. It is a nice shot. Cheers.

Never got to see all that condensation/vapor stuff from the cockpit. A few water droplets rolling off the windshield was all. But a nice video nonetheless.
