- 1:23
- 2:45
- 4:04
- 4:25
- 5:01
- 5:29
- 6:02 Medium turbulence and more rain
- 6:18
I've enjoyed seeing everyone's view on if they'd enjoy this flight or not. For the record, I did feel safe and quite enjoyed the way we danced around the (quite obvious) worst zones. I can only imagine how much fun the pilots were having up front, really working the machine as an extension of their body and keeping themselves engaged with the environment and live weather. Would you enjoy this super-sized bush flying, or would you be looking forward to simply making it to point B?
O
I would enjoy the heck out of it!
I HAVE PLANE GAME AND I FLY IN A STORM AND THE TOUR WASS PERFEKT 😊AND NOTHING HAPPENS AND PLANE WASS SAFE 😊
Fun???? Try it some time.
@meckster28 imagine if idksterling said that 😂
Gotta love the turbulence when you watch it on video. Just not when your sitting in it haha!
My worst nightmare when i travel
@@RebeccaLRodgers2024 same here
That turbulence from the storm scared me through the phone 💀
Same here! I'm terrified just watching. I would have been praying with my eyes closed clutching the armrests!
There has only been one accident ever related to turbulence, the plane is riding on autopilot and the pilots avoid the storms, it may be scary but know that you are safe and it is more dangerous to drive on a slippery road with your car than this turbulence.
@@jjkanal640 Really? Ohmigosh- just knowing that I already feel better. Thank you! 😊
@shawnclark2550 yea, thunderstorms are displayed on radar so pilots can easily avoid them when seen, you'd only really be hitting turbulence in these conditions which at worst will give you motion sickness, plane wings are designed to take atleast 150% of the worst turbulence you'd encounter so planes are sound in bad weather
Watching a t-storm outside at that altitude is magnificent.
I had a thunderstorm takeoff flying out of Miami once. It was kind of scary because it was a night flight. The plane had electrical issues prior to takeoff which delayed us 45 minutes. The small ERJ felt like it was struggling to climb through the stormy air, gently rocking on the way up. All I could see was dark night sky and sideways rain until we got to altitude. The rest of the flight was uneventful.
Maybe the flight was overloaded. I know there is one airline that is notorious for overloading so their planes lift off relatively late but still safely.
Edit: the name of that airline is Aerosucre or something like that.
@@jayasmrmore3687Aerosucre isn't a passenger airline, they fly cargo
The best message I’ve ever heard from a pilot to his passengers before a stormy take-off was “We can handle it up here, if you can handle it back there”. 😮
should have been the other way around, if we can handle it up here, and we can, then you can handle it back there, and u will.
What an arrogant prick. I would never say that to my passengers.
@@BIANCA_BETTINI same here lol
You made it through so that tells me that flying is very safe.
That’s about the time you see some sort of creature out on the wing like in Twilight Zone The Movie 😳😂
Wow thats some incredible footage! - I honestly thought that the thumbnail was a little clickbait but how wrong was I ?! - Great capture, amazing footage :O
I was thankful for the show it put on. Saved me a lot of time in photoshop 😅
Awesome video! Would you be okay with me featuring parts of this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
man you're on all these videos lol
bro didnt reply
owned
I think I blacked out 2 or 3 times watching this. 😬😬😬😬😬😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
My heart would've been pounding out of my chest. If it weren't for turbulence I could really enjoy flying.
If it weren’t for turbulence, I wouldn’t enjoy flying. Turbulence can be so fun sometimes. What are you afraid of exactly? It’s like a car driving through a bumpy road.
@@PD-ws4td can't really describe it. Panic sets in. When everything is smooth, the shades come down, and I'm just watching a movie, I can forget I'm even on a plane. But when things start bouncing around then I. I'm jarred into reality that I'm in a flying tin can with 7 miles over the earth going 600 mph. It's like the primitive part of my brain kicks in and realizes I'm not supposed to be here. We're apes, not birds. Something like that I guess lol.
@@rexx9496 I get it, don’t worry. You should try flight simulator games like msfs, once you understand how a plane functions it will make you feel waay more comfortable flying in one. A plane is designed to fly under almost any kind of weather conditions and it is especially engineered to withstand turbulence. A plane is so safe that it is able to fly perfectly well with only single engine if one were to fail, and the wings can flex so well that there aren’t any natural forces that can break them when in the air. I feel a lot safer on a plane than say in a taxi or a bus.
@@PD-ws4tdI think for a lot of people, the fear comes from a lack of control. Even though statistically I’m safer in a plane than in a car, I always have a moment of panic when I realize I’m in the air haha
same.
@@rexx9496
Nicely executed departure, only a few bumps, and a nice light show!
Great job capturing it👍
The thunderstorm was not flown through, it was circumnavigated… you should never fly through one intentionally or you’ll get structural damage at best.
I have always heard these planes are designed with lightning strikes in mind, and that it happens fairly regularly.
Some thunderstorms can cause structural damage, not all do. In fact, an average summer thunderstorm will not cause any damage to the aircraft. And the turbulence isn't the primary danger. Hail and lightning discharges a bigger hazard.
@@MidwestAeroGurus Especially summer thunderstorms can be extremely dangerous as they tend to have stronger up and downdrafts. Depends on the height you penetrate them. If you have ever flown in a CB anvil and not even the towering part, you would have an understanding of how dangerous penetrating thunderstorms could be. Fly directly through it and you get severe to extreme turbulence which means the aircraft enters an uncontrollable state.
@AndrewTit69 depends how far downwind you are in the anvil since that turbulence is from high speed winds that have been disturbed by the updraft in the storm cell. Generally, pilots and ATC try to keep planes out of those areas.
You heard about what happened on that braniff plane in 1968? The pilots did just that and the plane suffered massive structural failure and broke apart midair. Granted it was a Lockheed Electra which is a plane that didn’t have the best reputation, but even with modern aircraft I still wouldn’t do that.
The pilot knows what he is doing! 😊
not always
This one does. He slows down due to the water ingestion @ 6:05
@@rixxy9204 nice catch
😊✨
These are really good pilots. They were navigating around the worst of that storm using radar.
ez
Yes
This was a decent thunderstorm, and some good turbulence as well. Of course, I"m from CA and 1-2 flashes per minute counts as a good storm for us. Nice video!
Thanks! This was my first time in the area so I wasn't sure how common storms like this must be, so it's cool that others are finding it impressive too
“Decent” how about borderline dumb flying through that soup
I remember there was a storm I saw that had a flash every 2-3 seconds - I didn’t fly through it but went out in it because I wanted to go to a rave - that’s how you know I was hooked on that scene
I live in California and the only thunderstorm are during monsoon
Love those mid-west thunderstorms! I live in Sacramento and the summer weather here is incredibly boring.
I wasn't aware that Southwest offered optional Hurrican Hunter flights😂
😂
Do the pilots have weather radar on, watching the storm carefully and going around it?
you should never go flying through a thunderstorm. It’s too risky.
GREAT video and great capture of picking your way around thunderstorms. We don't fly thru them. :)
5:56 my god! Been a flight simmer for too long and I've never realized how wild this powerful invention looks like while breaking through all of these heavy clouds and showers..this is crazy!
Ive been on a plane way smaller than this during a storm, and despite the scary looks outside it wasn’t bumpy really….I trust the pilots .
Guessing the convective energy in the clouds during takeoff and just going up to cruising altitude - was up to probably 2,000 j/kg. Good enough for charge separation and resultant lightning.
What a stunning capture! Can I use this clip in my upcoming video? Full credits to you in the video description of course 😊
I was on a flight that flew through a heavy thunderstorm much worse than this. There where multiple flashes every second, lots of rain and pretty heavy turbulence. When the aircraft had got through the clouds the turbulence stopped and you could see big flaschclouds on distance from above. And that was pretty cool. Wish I had filmed that.
but how is this and also what happened in this video allowed? how taking off in storms is allowed? shouldnt pilots delay and be responsible? how scared were you and other passengers on that flight? were the flight attendents scared?
Passengers overestimate the danger they are in. We would never fly through the centre, the towering part of a thunderstorm. If it appears as green and yellow on the onboard Doppler radar, we are usually safe to go through it. If the centre of the onboard weather image is an extended red or even purple, we are diverting around it, always one the side of the wind hitting the thunderstorm, never behind it, except in embedded weather systems.
@@PilotAndyEDDLEven than the worst that is going to happen most likely is light structural damage.
@@RUNITED951 Even the smallest structural damage can lead to a lethal outcome, can be as simple as a loose bolt or a micro tear. That's why the airframe has to undergo extended checks and repairs for days and weeks after a suspected structural damage. Most of them occur due to hard landings, by the way.
@@PilotAndyEDDL 👍 Good to know!
Damn people are butthurt lmao
That looks like it was on hell of a storm. Great job capturing the lightning.
Great footage, but man, I hate when people leave their light on when flying at night 😡
I've never actually flown through a thunderstorm before, but it does look quite pretty with the flashes of lightning every so often. I'm a confident flyer so this wouldn't actually bother me. In my, realistically 700+ times I've flown, I'm still yet to experience this. I'd probably be the idiot in the back of the plane cheering whenever we hit an air pocket.
Imma join you on the cheering part. Yee haw for turbulence
0:48 i cant wait to feel this in a few days
LOVED the video. GREAT audio. Great views.
I would LOVE to be on this flight. I actually find this very relaxing.
Awesome capture! May I feature a part of this video in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Cheers!
Yeah, with credit and a link that sounds good. Thanks!
I m never ceased to be amazed by how these machines just attack the sky and soar ..I love fying
the plane just yawned and acts like its used to it
Great video. Beautiful and dramatic storm. I am surprised that the engine seen out the window is lit up like that. I've never seen that before.
That’s the wing lights, it’s main purpose is to increase visibility, due to the heavy cloud coverage and stormy/rainy weather, the pilots made the right decision to leave it on. ATC always keeps you updated with your altitude so you dont colide with other planes but pilots still like to have visual site of aircraft’s near them due to safety and sometimes wind from bigger aircraft’s can cause turbulences.😊
Flew out of atlanta to paris during a crazy t-storm maybe 10 or 11 years ago. Was pretty scary, i was taking shots of whiskey the entire time during take off
I just love aviation. At my age it’s too late to learn to fly. I love these spaceships that operate within the atmosphere.
Past 50 years I flew through hurricanes, typhoons and thunderstorms so many times. It is scary during the flight and big relief when you land. Now, I check the weather report and forecast before a flight.
I thought this was MSFS!!!! :(:(:(:( :(:(
I was flying in Volaries
5:24 airline
Ironically, these thunderstorms are typically caused by my cat taking a dump. This time it just so happened to be Bidens son withdrawaling.
That’s not flying through a thunderstorm. That’s flying near thunderstorm.
Those BIG engines can pull theough 90% of storms. Pilots are trained well.
Just another day....night flight!
And what about the other 10%? 🥴
@@rexx9496they're avoided
ar 4:31 you can see someone holding hands. which i can understand
This pilot is the Michael jordan of all pilots 🫡
Yea 😢
All credit goes to god
@Nairuaxu yea but the pilot did outstanding job 👏
*No goblin jumped on the wing?*
That opening clip of the plane at the gate is fantastic quality
Glad you took note! I know there's not a lot going on in the scene, but I put it in for that very reason, it was so dang crisp
@@meckster28 Glad you did. Great job its outstanding.
Yeah that was suburb. Quality so sharp it feels like you're standing there.
I hate flying next to the engine
Especially in stormy weather like this

This flight video was awesome. It’s very rarely I watch a take off video this long and I watched it all. I had flown through a mild thunderstorm before and it was nerve wracking. This however was giving me anxiety and I wasn’t even there lol. I loved it though. It’s been awhile since I flew so the nice ambience lighting of Southwest’s blue light was nice. It really was pretty cool. Thanks for adding it.
Omg that it's scared 😮
THAT PLANE SHOULD’VE BEEN DELAYED
Flying through storms is fun to watch, the plane has a static electricity system made to withstand lightning so its fine. Unless its hail or a tornado watch, there is no serious issue
@@barrettson1028 planes were still coming in during a tornado watch two weeks ago, although granted they were flying in at a very steep angle.
@@justplanes295 tbh I’d trust a plane more than a helicopter if those are the two options in the event of flying through a natural disaster.
@@justplanes295 but of course a building is more ideal
Its business matter my friend...
If delay than cost profit.....
LED takeoff lights?
I do believe so, was quite a new plane
The last nextgens built from 2014 and on I believe have the same LED exterior lighting as the MAXs.
@@meckster28 and also the wing light wasn’t on during the takeoff roll
Хватит уже пугать
That light on the engine spoils the entire video its also too bright mr southwest company
One of the best videos done on a plane
5:07 what was that 😮.?
It's wild seeing how much the engines move while flying.
Wow pilot took off and went straight for the heart of the storm. Reminds me of that old movie with the monster on the wing.
I always think of that movie too when I’m next to the wing! lol Twilight Zone: the movie, from the early 80’s.
He did not penetrate the storm itself, just a few towering cumulus clouds nearby.
Jesus would have to take me because no. I remember being on a southwest flight to Long Island and the pilot said there was a possible storm. I remember my mother and I getting more wine lol but they managed to get right above it and there were no issues thank God
Que estupido el piloto al despegar con semejante tormenta... Debió esperar en tierra 🙄🙄😒😒🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
You flew around thunderstorms… if you flew threw a thunderstorm it would an even that you would not forget or never remember.. thank the pilots.
I don't get why they don't climb faster. They can climb 3000ft/min if they want, maybe even more and it would give a much more fun experience😂
God: Do you accept me as your Lord and Savior?
Captain: No, I do not.
God: **strikes down the plane**
Turbulence does not make aircraft crash, those wings and engines are not going any where....
Enjoy and relax, turbulence is nice to sleep.
Ouaawww impressionnant , je ne sais pas quoi dire , avoir peure ou c'est beau à voir !!! En tout cas bravo pour votre courage que vous avez eu et que vous pouviez filmer malgré la tempête , mais je trouve que c'est bizarre ne pas avoir des turbulences durant ce vol !!!!!!!!
I grew up in St. Louis. They have the worst (best) thunderstorms in the world.
It might have felt like it but you didn’t fly through the storm cell, you skirted it. Would have been a big difference if you had
Not enough people on that flight for them to care. LoL !
FYI planes keep a minimum distance of 20 miles away from thunderstorms
I got same experience, it was from Manchester to Prague, and it was really scary,the plane was jumping,my friend told me that we gonna all die,and i got aerofobia😅
When all I saw was constant flash out the window, I immediately thought X-Files.
I'm honestly surprised that they decided to take off amidst such stormy weather. Typically pilots err on the side of caution and either delay or find the quickest path away from the cells because of possible wind shear and other dangerous factors. But who knows what the state of safety is with Southwest. idk.
Why would they take off in such terrible weather???? Yikes!!😮
Here in Europe if there is a storm overhead they always take off, it’s ok.
That's why I take sleeping pills right before the take off. My God guys, this is insane!
Are you serious?!😂 I hate flying during nighttime and during storms! I flew by myself few times but I rather fly in the morning or afternoon than nighttime! Just my opinion!😅
Not the smoothest rides but once you climb above it, it doesn't matter, also, I've had to land (not a pilot) in worse condition, its freaking thrilling and nerve wrecking at the same time haha
When it comes to bad weather, you have to be careful, especially if you’re riding on an airplane
You kinda went around the storm, not through it, but watever. I'm sure the Wright brothers are looking down on this and saying "You guys are nuts"
How bad was the general shaking of the plane? How bumpy was it?
people who fear flying, recognize that the turbulence they feel is the lightest the pilots are allowing :), they know that it's the lightest pocket.
In thundertorm plane is flying on the sky? 😨😨😨
That would be scary, but i place my trust in pilots.
..... THERES SOMEONE ON THE Wiiiiinnnnnnggggg!!! YOU HAVE TO BELEIVE ME!
My heart is pounding just watching the video. I am nervous flying.
Flies between cells, no issues.
Tries to climb above the storm, turbulence says not today you can hang with the lightning.
At the time the plane would normal throttle down she throttled up. Nice fun flight haha
Pilots only get paid when their in the air. Same as flight attendants
5:05 dude was losing his shit🤣
Do you think our diversity crew will step up lol 😆 .
05:58 Does this remind anyone of the wormhole scene from the Interstellar movie? Or is it just me?
They should not fly in that weather ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
I heard the updraft of the storm can cause the plane to tear apart. That plane must be very well built
I remember watching your mini a330 video!
Severe thunderstorm warning be like:
when i saw the thumbnail I thought this was going to be a flight sim video lol
i rather for them to delay the flight for some time then flying like that hahha i dont care about crying babies for a few hours delay better be safe then sorry lmao
Зачем лететь в грозу? ??? Это же очень опасно!!! ⚡⚡⚡
I'd need about a lot of xanax and 3 double whiskeys to get on that flight.
