Footage from my Canon R6 Mark II including a brief glimpse of the sun at 10:25: ruclips.net/video/k1nzImmDny0/видео.html
Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy this video on Southwest’s special solar eclipse flight from Austin to Indianapolis. There are a couple of things I want to mention. First of all, this will not be the only video I upload of this solar eclipse flight. I have footage from my Canon R6 Mark II that I working on making a separate video which I’m hoping to get out this week. Second, this video does not have a direct visual of the sun during totality, this is because the sun was nearly directly over our aircraft and would’ve been hard to get. The good news is that I managed to flip my R6 Mark II upside down and got a glimpse of the sun during totality and will be featured in that video. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know!
Arguably the best view yet of the eclipse! You can see the sun being eclipsed by the moon in the reflection of the engine! 😁✈️
Thank you! I’ve got an ultra-wide angle video pointing more forward coming soon as well!
WOW, had no idea. Looks again.
The Concorde holds the record in 1973 74 minutes in totality chasing a total solar eclipse in Africa!!! Flying Mach 2.0 and 1,350 mph while the moon travelled at 1,500 mph.
Africa is such a great place
Recently watched tht video and i couldn’t imagine how cool it must’ve been
At least the cowling didn't come off!
And endanger a home or bridge or tourist submarine.
Man when i started seeing the reflection of the beacon on the winglet......all the feels!!!! Thank you so much for taking us along!!!! What an experience!!!! You know for all the division we see in this country it was good to have a moment where we all stopped and looked up to the Heavens together!!!! Watching a Lunar eclipse with Luna 7 almost 8 miles above the earths surface.....it gets no better.....! Yeah this is going in the favorites!!!
I’m glad I could share this experience with you!
The speed at which the lunar shadow catches up to and over takes a full speed 737 Max 8 at cruise from behind is astounding. I hope you really enjoyed the flight and the scene, this is a really neat perspective.
It really was surreal watching the shadow catch up to us. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it!
10:40 WOHOO!
Okay sheesh maybe they were excited for the solar eclipse that’s why 😂😂😂😂
😂😂 That man was afraid.
Man did anyone notice the cool view of the eclipse on the airplane Wing! That was awesome!
Nobody gonna talk about the guys during the takeoff💀 that was funny
ok but tbh it went from im fast af boi taxi to light speed takeoff immediately. I guess roll out was just straight off blastoff
*What point exactly are you talking about? When the guy yelled “to the moon!”? Can you time stamp it?*
@@bossman5190 yeah right there basically
@@oofyalDAMMIT *Them boys was excited 😂😂*
I woulda been rolling 😂 if I was onboard. Thought that was funny as hell and very random
This footage is amazing and some of the cleanest high resolution footage I have seen that someone has taken from a plane.
Thank you!
I enjoyed this flight so much! WN1721 was a dream of mine and the amount of effort Southwest put in was just too good!
Glad you enjoyed it! Southwest really managed to put this together to be an amazing flight, and we got to experience an extra 2 minutes and 20 seconds of totality compared to on the ground!
What A Great Solarbration That Was👍👏🎉✈️🌕!!!
This video has to go viral 🌘🤯
With how the RUclips algorithm works who knows.
I am beyond envious of all the people that got to do this and experience this. For some reason these flights just never crossed my mind as the eclipse got closer. Awesome video...
Awesome video and footage! Seeing the eclipse from the air was an incredible experience! How could anyone now give this video a thumbs up!!
Couldn't agree more! Really glad I ended up doing this as instead of driving to Arkansas to view it.
Get
@@Lunadog99 IMO Seeing the eclipse from the air totally beat seeing it from the ground. Such a unique perspective and experience! And I can say this because I too saw it from the air on Monday 😉
Thanks!
You’re my first ever Super Thanks! I seriously can’t thank you enough for that!
That was so awesome! And the ground crew cracked me up as they pushed back. lol Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing, to watch the darkness of the eclipse catch-up and overtake the plane and then have daylight reappear in real time at 35K feet (+/- 1000 ft) had to have been an incredible experience.
It was. I’m really glad I decided to take this flight. Thanks for watching!
very immersive flight !thanks luna
Thank you for watching!
Excellent Video, glad you got a chance to fly this awesome flight!
Thank you so much!
This stays on RUclips.....Forever ❤
Wow this is an exceptional piece. Awesome job best I’ve ever seen, many thanks 🙏
Thank you very much!
Cool!
1:40:00 Indy Motor Speedway lots of people packed that place for the solar eclipse viewing party where ABC was live there during the total solar eclipse!!!
I’m so hyped for the Indy 500
Stunning
So Cool
Wow! Absolutely stunning 😍 👍!
Thank you!
Awesome!
Thank you!
What a sight to see out the window!! Great Catch!!!
Thank you!
what a beutiful shot clean window. heck almost looks like a window doesnt even exist.
What a view!
A beautiful flight! And what a sight of the eclipse as seen from an aircraft! Just amazing and a beautiful experience. Thank you for taking us along on this special flight! I look forward to your next video of this experience of the eclipse seen from up in the air, above the clouds.
Thank you so much! I uploaded my next video already which shows the eclipse from my Canon R6 Mark II with an ultra wide lens.
Talk about a perfectly smooth flight!! The wing never flexed & certainly helped in the filming of this spectacular eclipse!
Great video!
Thank you!
This is stunning!
Thanks!
@@Lunadog99when do you plan on posting the other video??
@@TrulyChxse I’m hoping tomorrow around 11 Central.
Excelent video, thank you!
Thank you for watching!
@@Lunadog99 great idea this video, from 39,000 feet above earth, and the Eclipse wonderful sensation
gracias por compartir esa increíble experiencia.
Wow!
Awesome camera !
The ground speed of the plane during taxi could have been misconstrued as the takeoff! But the entire video was spectacular…✈️🌘
Thanks for watching!
Incredible view!
Thank you!
That just nice good job luna and make more southwest
Thank you! New Southwest video coming this Saturday!
Good content I just subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
EQUIPMENT INFORMATION
iPhone 14 Pro - That's why! Wonderful images!
Yes. It loos dark on the engine like sunset.
Excelent video 🎉
Thank you!
Nice video, mate 👍🏼✌🏽✈.
Thank you!
@@Lunadog99 you're welcome bro 👊🏼😉
My favorite RUclipsr jeb brooks was on that flight, he posted a eclipse video from the plane it was really neat
You had the privilege of flying with Jeb and Suzanne Brooks!
Yes! I met them before the flight and it was great to be able to talk with them.
I think Bryce from skylight productions was on this one too!
I had the most spectacular view in a parking lot in NE Ohio. I got the whole experience. Even dogs barking. Great photos of the totality with my Samsung phone. Best part it did not cost me a dime!
I honestly was considering just taking the 3 hour drive from OKC to shoot some photos on my DSLR. 🤣 I’m glad I ended up doing this though as it’s truely a once and a lifetime experience, and I didn’t pay $1000+ like those Delta flights!
That looks like Indianapolis Motor Speedway at the 1:40:00 mark. They had something like 50,000 people at IMS for the eclipse party. I had thought about going to IMS for the eclipse. I was in New Castle, Indiana for the eclipse on Monday, at my aunt and uncle's house. New Castle is about 40 miles north of Indianapolis. So thankful we had clear skies on Monday! The rest of the week here in Kentucky has been rainy and cold.
Genius, idea to book flight for eclipse.
1:42:30 Republic Airways planes which is their hangar and also based in Indy!!!
My 300 pound mother-in-law moved back to Italy... that's a beautiful thing.
I'm Italian and I know what you're talking about!
Jeb Brooks who is another aviation enthusiast I watch was on that flight actually.
Bellevideohenri😊😊😊😊
Its like floating through a twilight zone. Eery.
The best thumbnail I've ever seen
I’m glad you liked it! Thought it would be fun to put the Southwest Heart in front of the Sun.
umm. did dey serve any dem biscuits? anywho, i kinda like dem leading edges. I always thought they was pretty.
Uh Oh! A 737 MAX 8! I hope they make it to their destination!
The Ford Pinto of the aviation world!
Your camera is Amazing
Thank you!
Amazing catch man!!
When you shoot with iPhone, you use specific camera settings?
Nothing too special for this, I shoot at 4K60 and lock focus on the wing but don’t lock auto exposure. Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed Austin!
Always really cool seeing all of the new buildings being built in downtown Austin!
@@Lunadog99yes!! Tech boom is crazy!
skylite productions was actually in this plane !!
Yes I talked to him quite a bit and we were also on the same flight back!
1:39:58 Indy 500
Очень крутое видео, хотелось бы увидеть это зрелище самой! Браво! Видео крутое!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank You LunaDog Aviation for uploading the video 😊😅😂🎉❤❤and what is your next flight video?
Thank you! This weeks flight video will be from Panama City, Florida to Kansas City on a Southwest Boeing 737-800.
to think where just 100 years ago this was just a dream an unspoken possability.
Definitely way cooler from the ground. It just look like a normal sunset or sunrise from a plane.
To be honest, I’d have to agree with you. I saw the 2017 solar eclipse on the ground and watching the sun disappear behind the moon was something I’ll never forget. Being able to see the solar eclipse from the air and watching shadow of the moon catch up to us was still spectacular though.
This is hell to be on this plane holy shit 🗣️
This definitely took planning in more ways than one. Also, did you have the iPhone suction-cupped to the window?
I do not use a suction cup to hold my phone up to the window. I hold to up to the window.
For bonus you got a shot of the Indy speedway
Great video we didn’t see shiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttt
Ahh nothing like chips bags constantly rustling in your ears as you're trying to enjoy the view
I like the video ...in _totality_ 👍🏿
Thank you!
Great view. Must have been several first time flyers, judging by the clapping after landing.
Yeah a couple of people were pretty excited about this flight! 🤣
You must've never traveled. Over 55 years in many planes to many destinations. People applaud for many different reasons, particularly Americans. You'd never be right picking just one.
@@elia.almodovar9558 You’re not wrong, I have always found it to be be odd. Landing after an emergency is understandable.
Was it fun
Yes it was! Southwest did a great job making this flight one to remember!
In some parts of the video I can hear Jeb & Suzannes voice 😅
I figured the eclipse would have been over by the time that taxi was over lol
And that’s with me cutting out us waiting next to the runway. 🤣 I didn’t have a good way to determine what time it was so I was getting worried that we may not get enough altitude before totality.
48:00 the moon starts gobbling up the sun fast! Engine nacelle.
It’s really amazing watching the sunlight just fade away like that from the wing. Thanks for watching!
So everyone keeps saying this is the last solar eclipse until 2044. It's the last one that will be seen in the US until 2044. You can see solar eclipses in other countries.
Spain/Iceland in 2026!
Thank Jesus this time there were no on board that hysterical dudes who was constantly repeating "Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god!" :))))))
Whoa. Alot of this is inappropriate for a ✈️ in regards to seeing eclipse as well as the clapping
Did y’all feel how cool it got. Did you see the weird shadows? Or how about the eerie feeling by everyone when this happened? You got taken.
I have during the total eclipse in 2017 as well as the Annular eclipse last year!
Jeb brooks was on the flight as well
Yes I was able to talk to Jeb and Suzanne a little bit before and after the flight!
@@Lunadog99 nice
What were the signs the ramp workers were holding? Thank you for the video.
The signs that they were holding up read “Reach for the stars” “We’re over the moon for you” “Total of our [SWA heart]” and “you are my sunshine”
"Repent now! For when the darkness comes, it shall be too late!"
is there a captain announcement before descent into indianapolis?
He made one before I started filming the descent.
dancing workes made me laugh
@Lunadog Aviation - didmyou catch the entire total eclipse in the path of totality? It doesn't show in your video, only a partial eclipse whic requires wearing solar glasses. The sky should have turned totally black to nighttime when the sun is completetly covered by the moon. What kind of lens did you use on your camera?
Yes, I think it’s either the iPhone Camera or the angle that I shot this video at if you watch my other video (link here: ruclips.net/video/k1nzImmDny0/видео.htmlsi=GDvm7uSvRvwsf1td ) which is shot on my more professional camera with an ultra wide lens the night affect is much more noticeable.
I hope you saw the "diamond ring". Unfortunately, no camera has been made by human beings, or will ever be made, that will capture the sheer, breathtaking, beauty of the diamond ring.
I didn’t see it this time, but I did in 2017. It truly is spectacular.
Did u meet Skylight Productions
Yes I’ve know him for a few years now.
@@Lunadog99 nice
Did they really fly through the totality? You can still see a sliver of the sun in the reflection and you never see the full corona.
At takeoff who was that drunk yelling??? Was it an avgeek??? iTripReport???
Avgeek or maybe iTripReport
did the captain announce the solar eclipse on the flight?
He made an annoucement at 36:10.
I AM ENAMORED BY THIS VIDEO😢😢 LITERALLY BROKE MY ENGINES WATCHING THIS😂😂 ( ´∀`)/~~
I won't fly on a Boeing 737 Max 8 even for an eclipse view.
The Ford Pinto of the aviation world!
Could you imagine trying to enjoy this flight with those damn crying kids ?
Just imagine flying to Orlando! 🤣
Very nice. I noticed you enjoyed about two minutes more of Eclipse duration due to your speed and heading on the direction of the eclipse. Great Video!! 7 stars!!
Yup! We were flying over NE Texas/SW Arkansas at the time of totality which is 4 minutes and 20 seconds and we experienced about 6 minutes and 40 seconds! Thanks for watching!
Why the big drop in altitude at 35:32?
This is actually us making a sharp turn to the east to follow the path of the eclipse!
Was @sla31 onboard?
Yes and he’ll be uploading his video tomorrow afternoon!
@@Lunadog99 Yep, burned his midnight oil for editing his video
@@Arslantheplaneloverlol yah he did, love his amazing content
@@michaelvlogs5919 Me too
