Amazing United B737-800s Parallel Takeoff at IAH

  • Two United B737s begin their takeoff roll at the same time, rotate at the same time, takeoff and turn in opposite directions at the same time. My flight, UA1478 (B737-824 [N37253]) from IAH-IAD was on RWY15L, with the other B737-800 on RWY15R.
    Parallel takeoffs are not that unusual at Houston Bush Intercontinental (IAH), but this is the first one I've caught on video from inside the cabin.
    Video continues until the 737 climbs above the clouds.
    Recorded May 8, 2014.

      HuHue no, who has less passengers and cargo and fuel wins the takeoff race!!!

    WOW! That's is THE MOST amazing thing you'll see in your lifetime! That's not a movie! That's real life! It's not everyday that two aircrafts take off like that and salute each other before they go their separate ways! WICKED COOL!

      Not to be a party pooper, but this stuff is common at SFO when its busy. A great sight when its with two large planes, like a 747 or a A380.

    Sweet. I work at IAH and have a few videos from the taxiways of this type of departure but always wanted to see it from the air. Thanks. This is a common departure procedure for IAH. 15L departures (your 737) typically depart on a 120 heading or straight east with an occasional turn to the north. 15R departures are typically the west bounder's and north bounder's. Dual departures speed up the departure rate and get you in the air much faster. It is safe and common at other airports with parallel departure runways. Limitations are wind direction and type of aircraft departing. Once you get to the 757 class and above, referred to as 'heavies' then it changes the rate due to the turbulence produced by the 'heavy'. If you are ever behind a 'heavy' for departure and wonder why you have to sit there for a minute, you are required to allow a 3 mile separation from a departing heavy jet. It's all about safety.

      Woah that's some good information. My mother works for United and flies the 787 Dreamliner. We live in Houston so I always go to bush intercontinental to fly United. I've always wondered how it is to be a ground crew worker at big airport. Is it tough to load and unload bags and fuel aircraft?

    • @UnitedFlyerHD
      @UnitedFlyerHD  9 лет назад

      Thanks 2018paulrobbinx ! It's very cool that Houston IAH has 2 runways so close together and that ATC let's them take off at the same time. I haven't seen it with heavies, though.

    I could be mistaken, but, your airplane, 253 , was the rescue plane sent by Bethune to pick up that Navy crew that was being held by the Chinese for spying. I think the Navy P-3 was hit on the wing by a Chinese fighter jet.

    I live in Houston and I will tell you as long as this was in the middle of the day, I dont see one reason why this was not planned. Mid-day ops at Houston are not extremely congested on average days. The pilots could have easily communicated with ATC and made this happen with-out anyone behind them noticing a time issue. Cool stuff!

    • @mikehunter1483
      @mikehunter1483 2 года назад

      During peak times, tower control is split. There was probably two tower frequencies for 15L, and 15R when this happened. With that being said, neither aircraft knew when the other would start their takeoff roll but it just happened. And btw at IAH this is a almost every day thing. Every hour. Most are not synchronized but a few are.
