Continental Embraer: Start-up, Taxi, Takeoff

Continental Express Embraer E-145 departing Detroit Metro Airport when is was swarming with NWA red tails - Clip includes engine start-up, taxi and a dusk takeoff from 21R. This flight was delayed over 3 hours due to high winds at EWR
FYI - Continental will be moving to the North Terminal later this month

This is a cool video. I love the engine start-ups which occur after pushback. Great turbine sounds along with the magnificent takeoff, which is always the best part of any flight for me!

[@stateswimmer1234]

I love Northwest Airlines. They were the best. Great view of the other aircraft and the best was the takeoff

[@frequentairbusflyer8]

Wow, so great to see all those red tails on taxi! gotta love the engine sounds

[@bigplaneboeing]

all those NW planes! Its like looking into a totally different world. Those were such peaceful time! :'(

[@kenpalmer1965]

This is an excellent video! I like the view of all of the planes in the background whether taxiing around or parked at the terminal buildings. I also like the view of all the runway lights and the general dusk scene. That shot right before the video ended above the clouds was even more awesome! I should add that the takeoff itself was awesome. Great job!

Wow, look at all the bowling shoed colored Northwest old paint. I miss Northwest, I want it back. Grew up with Northwest Orient. I miss it so much. Northwest was Aviation's heart I think. Too good of an Airline to be brought down :(

[@stateswimmer1234]

I miss NWA but why did continental leave from the mcNamara terminal?

[@sisturfistur]

erj's V1 speeds are so high, they gotta speed up so fast before they start to rotate

[@holyshizzleitsconnor]

Why fly anything other than Delta (at the time NWA) out of Detroit? (; unless of course, you're part of their allegiant team.

[@n787mx]

Look at all those delta planes.... lol
