A beautiful video. The take-off must have looked and felt a lot different from the upper deck. And you back-taxied down a portion of a runway - I don't think I've ever seen that done at LAX. Thanks for posting!
@@ptcla Thank you! It was indeed a very unique experience and I’m very grateful I was able to relay that feeling to you as best I could through a screen. I’ve got a big trip coming up in December… 4(!!) Lufthansa long haul flights (A330s, A340s, 747s) in and out of Frankfurt, so make sure to subscribe for more! ✈️
Technically yes, but the direction we taxied was on runway 6R (the rightmost of two runways with a heading of 60). 6R and 24L are the same strip of land and each code only differentiates the direction. In this case we taxied towards the city (6R) and took off out towards the Pacific ocean (24L). Thanks for watching!
@@AviationFlights2023 You and me both 😂 The sunset was so beautiful it had me doing a double take on whether my own video was real or something out of GTA It’s real though. LAX - LHR on the mighty king of the skies this past summer 🤴
@@AviationFlights2023 Flying A380 lower deck out of cold, cloudy Munich in less than a week. That footage likely won’t draw any comparisons to a video game 😂 But it will be awesome nonetheless 🤴
@@marklee1462 😂. Good thought but that was out of the captain’s control, it was the departure vectors given to him by air traffic control who’s responsible for managing Southern California air traffic. We ended up taking a series of left turns and crossing the coast in the reverse direction over Seal Beach with a northeast heading bound for Britain. Thanks for watching!

Sweet video I liked and Subbed!
@@Pnw_Railfan_Aviation Awesome! Appreciate the support my friend 💪
Beautiful
Taxiing on 24L and taking off on 24L

Air Bus A380
That was Runway 24L, not 6R.
Good catch, will fix. Thanks for watching!
6R is 24L reversed
@@David-kh3xp Yes, but in that direction it is 24L. It would be 6R only if they were taking off in the reverse direction.
I can’t tell if the is msfs or real life

It’s real though. LAX - LHR on the mighty king of the skies this past summer 🤴

6R is 24L reversed
Reverse ops
Correct. So we taxied on 6R (the reverse direction) and exited the runway only to turn around and take off on 24L/ Thanks for watching!
He took off west and then turned south. Did someone tell him Britain is the opposite way
