This MD-80's Takeoff From St. Maarten Island Is Absolutely Nuts
Usually, departures occur in the opposite direction, toward the cliffs, so videos like this are somewhat rare. (youtu.be) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
CRAZY AND IRRESPONSIBLE
Try this one from my previous company in SKSM (Santa Marta), Colombia Runway Ident: 19 /01
Runway Length: 5577 feet. My line check as a captain was there in a MD83 with 160000 pounds, really amazing

Beatiful island . I visit in 1.981
I thought it was a "fun" video, not sensational.
It's always cool to see that angle of something coming right at you.

The reason the gear went up so fast was so it would not scrape off any sun hats..
All this talk of "sensationalism" ... why can't there be more love for the flying aspect and not so much chatter about this risk or that? Has everyone forgot that most important ingredient to flying second only to safety?
My first flight instructor stopped me mid-stride to our little 152 with our headsets and charts in hand and said, "Let's get this straight, with all preparation being a given, if we ever stop having fun, let's solemnly agree to stop flying! I smiled back at him and wholeheartedly gave him my word.
To this day... I have never stopped having fun.
