Southwest Airlines flight 855 from Chicago-Midway to Denver. Flying in a brand new (reinstated) 737MAX 8. Beautiful quiet engines, comparable to the new LEAP engines on the A32X-NEO.

    A very powerful jet. Noticeably when thrusting on the ground to gain speed. Smooth and effortless.

    Midway Airport is a bit of a throwback. It's very small, the entire airfield is about 1 square mile so planes have pretty much no margin for error taking off and landing. Crazy that this was the world's busiest airport from the 1930's to the 60's

    At 0:06 it almost looks like you’re actually standing on the runway. I remember getting a great picture like that! 😊 At 4:27 That’s a beautiful view! You really got the best view in the house!

    Highlighted at 7:18 is the Yorktown Center Mall not far from where I-355 was built to replace Rt 53, circa late 1980s (Except the new route had to pass to the east of the Morton Arboretum and preserves). Nice views in this video.

    Beautiful view of downtown Chicago!

    This is interesting. I have a bunch of take-off and landing videos that I have recorded over the years, and I've often wondered if people would watch them if I posted them on YT. Based on the number of views this video has had in a year, I guess the answer is "yes." Nice video, btw! Great views.

    7:55 you can see the larger of the two Chicago airports! O'Hare International! With 8 strips, O'Hare apparently has the most runways of all the airports in the United States.

    yea the hum of those turbofans are the most relaxing aspect of the flight IMHO although I have to admit, those NG turbo fans on this flight 855 sounded louder than usual. I was on two 737-700s from Dallas to PHX and they did not sound that loud during the entire flight...
  • @bernardanhwere3846
    Is the video sped up a little bit? Because they kind of looked to be taxiing a little too fast

    Amazing how ATC manages traffic with ORD and MDW, departing flights not 'bumping' into each other! From your perspective,ORD looks small!
