I retired from AA (Former TWA..went to AA 2001) 2004 and flew on a 777 from Paris (CDG) to JFK on my retirement flight...this baby packs a punch on take off! :)
I flew on this flight 12 times a year for 2 years, and yes I remember a few times there was a pilot who would full throtle takeoff, but he didnt have to because the runway in LAX is more then enough for this plane, usually it was a nice and slow glide up to the air.
Love the low pressure vapor cloud that forms as the engine spools up. My only favorite thing about flying out of or into LAX is the scenery on a clear day.
Wow, just fabulous! Thank you for keeping your camera so still, and for imposing the engine over the background as you did. That contrast of seeing a part of the plane over the receding background is very powerful. It demonstrates too how much space is out there. At that speed, you'd think that by the time of the turn, you'd be well past Catalina, but there it was sitting out there. Amazing to see Palos Verdes, Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan Beach and El Segundo pass under too. Great work!!!
I love how you can see how powerful the engine is right at takeoff! You can see the moisture in the air being pulled into condensation just inside the intake at 1:46 until the speed of the plane builds...
I agree. You know it's almost over. I do however love the sound of all 4 engines on a 747 spooling to full power on takeoff when you're right behind the wing. It's one of the most beautiful man-made sounds in the world.
Great 25R departure, the triple 7 is a beauty. What a great airplane and a good airline, the double A. Thanks for sharing, look forward to more great videos.
Absolutely amazing vid possibly one of the best I've seen, that whine when the engines are increasing in thrust is awesome and the scenery of LA is great . Thanks
I saw this about a year before my own flight to London from Denver....which happened to also be on a 777. I was on British Air. Great flight. I was thinking of this video on take off. Think I had 7 Johnnie Walker/Coke on that flight. Good Stuff!
The 777's engines are so powerful that the air entering the engine is being sucked in at such a high velocity the moister in the air separates. It can happen anywhere that's humid.
07:35, appearing Rancho Palos Verdes, San Pedro and Long Beach under a cloud. Los Angeles is beautiful. When I was working for Mexicana Airlines, I enjoyed every flight to anywhere, just like you. Thank you for sharing this video. Saludos desde la Ciudad de Mexico.
Man when I was going from Tokyo, Japan (Narita NRT) to Toronto (Lester B. Pearson YYZ), it was Air Canada that brought me home to introduce my future wife to my family. And let me tell you the 777 is a dream of an aircraft. Just simply the most beautiful aircraft you would ever want to fly on. I sure hope you get a chance one of these days, because it is a just a mezmerizing aircraft. Good luck to your future experience.
One more thing, contrary to popular belief, the engiens are louder in front than behind, as noise (sound) travels faster than the airplane. Higher picthed sound in front, drone next to, rumble behind, regardless of aircraft. That said, they are ALL quiet for the most part during flight (my excellent sound pick up aside).
Great Job, Onecunningfox. Just like being on board! I love the sound of the engines and getting pushed back into the seat on takeoff. Better than an amusement park ride.
i just came back today from my first flight. ive been on three now in the first time. i went over there and came back and we had to stop to get on another one. i was a lil scared but it was awesome. i love planes!!!!!!!
I still love this video. I put it in Favorites some time ago because I think it's one of the best around and I watch it fairly often. I love the variety of scenery, and something about the way it's shot makes me feel like I'm actually on the plane. I think you did a great job putting this thing together and I want to say thanks again, I've really enjoyed it.
Basically that spiral is painted to show ground staff that the engine is operating. If the spiral can be seen, it means the engine is off and you can approach the engine or around the engine. If the spiral is moving it means, obviously the engine is running and the faster its moving the more likely you'll be sucked into the engine, then diced into tiny bits. Hope that helps! :)
Hi! I am not a pilot, but I have a keen interest in jet engines, and what you are hearing here, is referred to as the "buzz-saw noise" It happens because of the blade tips on the engine locally breaking the speed of sound, which causes vibration, and that low growling buzz. Some engines are louder than others depending on the age, and model etc, and some planes have better sound supression than others too. You will generally hear this buzz MORE if you are seated at, or in front of the engine :)
@bigB6flyer The increase in noise once airborne is an error in our perception. The engine sound is there regardless of angle of attack and airspeed, as the engine is still ingesting the same volume of air. Rather, the decrease in engine exhaust ground noise and wind noise from the gear will make the engine sound louder than it originally was, even though its sound volume has been consistent through the entire takeoff run.
@spacemanufo That noise is the sound that comes from the tips of the engines' fan blades breaking the sound barrier. An aircraft doesn't retract flaps for 8 minutes straight.
nothing like the sound of Rolls Royce engines personaly i think they have the best sound . I first heard them on the Lockheed L-1011 Tri star sounded great then and still do today 27 years later.
Not as far as I know, it was a fleeting visit. Yes the pilot said afterwards that the plane wasn't full at all, and he got to try a full power takeoff, and that they don't do it that often. Made my trip down under very enjoyable! Looking forward to those 777 videos! :D
Thank you! As I replied to others (which I seldom do)"...My camera has great sound pick up (better than the video quality, that is for sure). I dont know if you have actually flown on a 777, but the engines are almost dead silent during flight. Due to their massive size, they lazily rotate during flight producing thrust at a very low RPM - as opposed to smaller or a 4 engine aircraft. Granted that has changed now with the 748 and A380 having larger engines that what used to be."
@cyberyiyo SID's (Standard instrument Departures) are called (decided) by the air controller mainly for efficient air trafiic flow..or on occasions avoiding terrain obstacles..LAX has the loop4 SID
@slysupersonic Glad you enjoyed my video and the sounds. In case you didnt know, the 777 is a Boeing plane, made in America, not Europe. Anyone will tell you the best planes are made in the USA and that has always been the case and always will be. There is no debate to this, sorry. As for engines, that is a different story and debatable. If it aint a Boeing, I aint going.... Godspeed. - Fox.
@onecunningfox You've got the flight times mixed up here, in fact. LAX-LHR historically hovers right around the 10:00 mark, while LHR-LAX tends to stay around 10:30-11:00. Eastbound flights will almost always be shorter due to prevailing winds aloft. Cathay consistently makes the run to HKG at around 14:45-15:15.
@slav3dog It all depends on where the winds are coming from. At Los Angeles (LAX) the preveailing winds come from the ocean (as is the case with almost any airport by the sea). Planes almost always takeoff into the wind (to put it simply). Once in a while at LAX planes takeoff in an easterly direction and land in an eatserly direction when the winds justify it.
The sonic boom at 1:44 makes me shiver, I remember when I first flew on the 777, and heard that, the shear magnitude and strength to which it pins you to the back of your seat like nothing else, lets you know, leave your prayers with god, because your butt belongs to me, what a feeling, what a rush.
@Bnasty1623 Thanks for watching. You most likely will not be in a 777 (as you are from the USA). Unless you fly from Miami on AA or Atlanta on Delta. Dont be nervous, it is safer than driving to LA. Just be early, be nice and dont put your feet on the seats, listen to the announcements and dont throw trash on the floor. As for when you can remove your seatbelt - on average, 20-30 minutes after takeoff. Buy soda or drink to take on board - it may be a few before you get one. Godspeed.
Very nicely done. I sit in business class quite a bit on the media shuttle-JFK/LAX and back on AAL on one of their 15 767-200s-what's interesting is that if you sit aft of the engines as you would most likely do in coach, the sound of the engine is much more pleasant for whatever reason you don't hear the compressor buzzing like you do when you sit fore of them. As you can clearly hear in your video the compressor buzz overpowers the whine/wail of the engines after the initial spool up.
Got to say, I will watch any of these vids, as long as I don't have to ride on an Air France Jet. they do not take good care of those beasts of the skies well enough. I've heard more about their crashes than any other airlines.
@xXxmidgexXx Its the engines, the blades are moving faster that the speed of sound and due to some very complicated physics it creates that compressor-like sound, you notice it more after takeoff because of the different angle at which the air is entering the engine
Close but not quite. AA still has a 3-Class config. I was in the last row of First Class (my favorite row) in 4J. If you read the bio of the video you can see this. The best part is that ion AA, you can eat your meal facing straight forward, diagonal or perpendicular - that is to say a table comes out of teh window (so to speak) and you can eat facing the view. In my case on this flight, the view was the stars and moonlit clouds over Chicago and Canada - and 3 windows to myself to boot!
They are also there so that the ground crew can report the engine is turning to the flight crew, as the pressure readout which tells the crew that the engine is turning; relates to the internal turbines only which start turning before the outside turbine does, If the flight crew doesn't hear that the engine is turning and then are given a negative when queried, assumption is the engine is a failed start. Plus a straight line would remain a line if the turbine starts spinning, hence the spiral.
@cmarcallen I am no physicist, but I DO KNOW that the buzzsaw sound is that of the engine blades breaking the sound barrier as they go around. That is how massive and powerful these Trents and of course the GE90-115b's are. So, since they are breaking the sound barrier, perhaps the sound is propelled forward (as the plane is travelling lower than the speed of sound) and not backwards...??? I dont know for certain, but that is probably about right.
I always wanted to be a test pilot for Boeing (actually a Pan Am pilot). Of course that requires that one best the best of the best of the best. No doubt your father is too and no doubt he played apart in the construction on this awesome flying machine. Thanks for the post. Enjoy my other vids too! Godpseed and regards to your pops.
@Flyglobespan93 It is a stage in the takeoff whereby power is reduced. If you pat CLOSE attention, listen to the stages during the turn and climb where the sound gets less and less as the "rpm" are lowered finally reaching 10,000 feet upon completion of our turn.
@xXxmidgexXx That sound is the tips of the fan blades going supersonic. That sound is always there You just hear it better after the plane leaves the ground and the noise of the plane barreling down the runway is gone. If you wanna hear a good buzzsaw noise look up a DC-10 takeoff, the RB-211 has a unique buzz to it too :)
@lionheart270866 All good points - except we departed at 7pm. The SIDS is called LOOP4 Daggett. (Look it up). In short we turn approx 200 degrees and cross back over LAX at 10,000 feet and head to Daggett (in the Mojave desert) before turning North to Canada, then Scotland et cetera...
What a fantastic video of this beautiful aircraft ..on all my journeys east I have flown in this apart from one run from Singapore on the A380. But this is a classic video....I just wish it was longer!! Well done......
I retired from AA (Former TWA..went to AA 2001) 2004 and flew on a 777 from Paris (CDG) to JFK on my retirement flight...this baby packs a punch on take off! :)
She does indeed! Sorry for the late reply! You probably flew with my mother - (JFK 1992 - 2021, just retired).
How did you retire on an AA 777 when you were fenced in St. Louis at that time ?
Love the sound of the "buzz saw!"
I've always LOVED planes. Those engines sound GREAT!!
I flew on this flight 12 times a year for 2 years, and yes I remember a few times there was a pilot who would full throtle takeoff, but he didnt have to because the runway in LAX is more then enough for this plane, usually it was a nice and slow glide up to the air.
look at those beasty engines
Love the low pressure vapor cloud that forms as the engine spools up. My only favorite thing about flying out of or into LAX is the scenery on a clear day.
Pursar? Trent's? Soda's? Then you praise your video like there's no tomorrow. Such class.
love the sound of the b777 engines :-)
Why does rr say they have quiet engines when their loud he is the winner I my opinion
That is one angry engine. Something about the Rolls and their sounds. Greatest engins sound clip ever.
best sound ever. subbed !
Really powerful Trent engine manufactured by Rolls Royce , the greatest British engineering that I always loved with its unique roaring rev up sound.
Trent 892. 0-60mph or 96kmh in under 6 seconds (Light load). 99%+ dispatch rate (cant say same for 787) ceiling FL430 for 43,000ft.
Wow, just fabulous! Thank you for keeping your camera so still, and for imposing the engine over the background as you did. That contrast of seeing a part of the plane over the receding background is very powerful.
It demonstrates too how much space is out there. At that speed, you'd think that by the time of the turn, you'd be well past Catalina, but there it was sitting out there.
Amazing to see Palos Verdes, Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan Beach and El Segundo pass under too. Great work!!!
"Fly Delta, they pay better," is said in the industry. When you think of that importance of that across the board, it makes sense. I love them.
I love how you can see how powerful the engine is right at takeoff! You can see the moisture in the air being pulled into condensation just inside the intake at 1:46 until the speed of the plane builds...
I agree. You know it's almost over. I do however love the sound of all 4 engines on a 747 spooling to full power on takeoff when you're right behind the wing. It's one of the most beautiful man-made sounds in the world.
Oh, the Trent 800, love the 777. I prefer the GE-90 but the Trent still sounds awesome.
01:34 love the howling sound
The engines, the winglex, the engine sounds had me all mezmorised
I just LOVE the sound of those engines revving up!!
Wow. That is really intense vacuum right in front of the compressor face. Look at it creating it's own cloud.
I love how you can watch the wing flex as the plane takes off!
Great 25R departure, the triple 7 is a beauty. What a great airplane and a good airline, the double A. Thanks for sharing, look forward to more great videos.
Absolutely amazing vid possibly one of the best I've seen, that whine when the engines are increasing in thrust is awesome and the scenery of LA is great . Thanks
The 747 is still The Queen of the Skies and the most beautiful!
I saw this about a year before my own flight to London from Denver....which happened to also be on a 777. I was on British Air. Great flight. I was thinking of this video on take off. Think I had 7 Johnnie Walker/Coke on that flight. Good Stuff!
A heavy takeoff, and it still climbs like that! That's impressive.
The 777's engines are so powerful that the air entering the engine is being sucked in at such a high velocity the moister in the air separates. It can happen anywhere that's humid.

One of the best of these videos ever, what an airplane.
I love this fantastic sound when the engines in full trust
I love this noise !!
For my ears it means : TRAVEL !!!!
Man when I was going from Tokyo, Japan (Narita NRT) to Toronto (Lester B. Pearson YYZ), it was Air Canada that brought me home to introduce my future wife to my family.

such a wonderfull bird love the sound from the Trents
An engine at work in his natural environment. Nice reel!
gotta love the transfer of weight from wheels to wings.. flex
One more thing, contrary to popular belief, the engiens are louder in front than behind, as noise (sound) travels faster than the airplane. Higher picthed sound in front, drone next to, rumble behind, regardless of aircraft. That said, they are ALL quiet for the most part during flight (my excellent sound pick up aside).
Love the sound of all three 777 Engine Variants. Also throttling back to Climb Thrust sounds nice :D
Wow - those Trents - surely RR have gotta be the best aero-engines on the market today!
Great Job, Onecunningfox. Just like being on board! I love the sound of the engines and getting pushed back into the seat on takeoff. Better than an amusement park ride.
in my taste thats the nicest airliner, the boeing 777, from the best airplane builders in the world.
i still find myself coming back to watch this....
i really admire these flights,LA to london,such a long journey!
i just came back today from my first flight. ive been on three now in the first time. i went over there and came back and we had to stop to get on another one. i was a lil scared but it was awesome. i love planes!!!!!!!
beautiful sound, the most powerful and serious engine, no doubt.
I still love this video. I put it in Favorites some time ago because I think it's one of the best around and I watch it fairly often.

The sound of those turbines whirling up to 100% power from idle gives me goosebumps...I'm flying on a 777 in a couple of days! :D
CO 777 GE90 Engines have a beautiful sound for take-off, and are very quiet once in the air
that little black and white thing spinning around would keep me going for hours lol

Nice ! I used to love the sound of the 707 on take-off. Smooth & like a rocket. These 777's have a different sound.
nothing like the sound of Rolls Royce engines personaly i think they have the best sound . I first heard them on the Lockheed L-1011 Tri star sounded great then and still do today 27 years later.
I loved THIS..I've only flown three or four times, but you GOT it! Thank you....
Never ceases to amaze me...
Outstandingly steady camera work and great sound reporoduction. Visually, a really enjoyable video especially of the iconic LAX.
Took off from LAX yesterday to head back to calgary, awesome airport
Smooth! Great sound from the Trents.
EXCELLENT video, thanks for sharing.... probably the only time I'll ever get to fly First Class!!!
Very nice! The sound is incredible, and you have a perfect view of the engine from your seat!
Not as far as I know, it was a fleeting visit. Yes the pilot said afterwards that the plane wasn't full at all, and he got to try a full power takeoff, and that they don't do it that often. Made my trip down under very enjoyable! Looking forward to those 777 videos! :D

The Trents certainly have the most aggresive roar of the 3 777 engine types.
I love the way you took the shot of the wing cutting through the sunlight at 6:23. Great video.

Really awesome! LA is great, the 777 is great and the AA is great! Thanks for this video!

you can see catalina island off in the background (22miles) off the coast in the background during the turn as well.

Thanks for supporting Boeing, my dad worked on the 777 when they were first produced, so I too am biased. :)

Plus a straight line would remain a line if the turbine starts spinning, hence the spiral.
I think the left turn is for traffic - most easterly dept turn left - but you are correct - right turn would be alittle shorter

It is a stage in the takeoff whereby power is reduced. If you pat CLOSE attention, listen to the stages during the turn and climb where the sound gets less and less as the "rpm" are lowered finally reaching 10,000 feet upon completion of our turn.
nice flight and beautiful sounds! i love to hear the engines spool...
Love when they power-down the RRs after take off.
I'm reliably informed that the strange 'whiirrrrrrrrr' is the fan blade tips going supersonic. that's very cool.
thats right just love how they sound.
a great video.. as if i was in the plane... thanks for sharing.. and the engine noise was awesome
@xXxmidgexXx That sound is the tips of the fan blades going supersonic. That sound is always there You just hear it better after the plane leaves the ground and the noise of the plane barreling down the runway is gone.

new tab highway to the dangerzone = awesome soundtrack!
@lionheart270866
All good points - except we departed at 7pm. The SIDS is called LOOP4 Daggett. (Look it up). In short we turn approx 200 degrees and cross back over LAX at 10,000 feet and head to Daggett (in the Mojave desert) before turning North to Canada, then Scotland et cetera...
Nice. Thanks for posting. I will be flying Cathay in 2 weeks from LAX to Hong Kong on a 777-300ER. I am so excited !
In-flight instruction 101: Please turn off all personal electronic devices for take off. Loved the video :)
What a fantastic video of this beautiful aircraft ..on all my journeys east I have flown in this apart from one run from Singapore on the A380. But this is a classic video....I just wish it was longer!! Well done......
