A take off from Juneau, Alaska in a good old Boeing 737-200 Combi using the special FAA approved departure procedure (also called "Lemon Creek" departure) for Alaska Airlines (immediate right and left turn after takeoff)...Listen to the captain's announcement at the beginning and check out how close the mountains are!! My all-time favourite takeoff movie. Please enjoy
The olds JT8D in high perfomance! A classic, no dude. RIP 737-200.
That's an older -37, with the older style thrust reverse assembly on the back end of those JT3D's, I think is what they are. Amazing; that initial left turn on the climb-out STARTS essentially right after V2. That would be fun to do. Love this video.
woah that is amazing! 5/5
Fancy seeing you here.
YA ! The Good Old 200's flew in them alot. Looks like even the passengers are flying on the seat of there pants. Great Video there! You get a number #10.
W - O - W !!!!! Holy cow!! I haven't seen anything like this in my life!!! Love planes and flying once I'm up but all I can say is I'm pleased it wasn't me in that plane during take off!!! I wudda passed out!!! Thanks for sharing the amazing experience!!
The Lemon Creek rotation. No matter how many times I flew out of Juneau when this take off was used it always scared the crap out of me!!!
That is the best take off.. i look forward to it every time i go home!
wow just like aspen! very bumpy and lots of mountains! nice video.
What a conincedence. I did a very similar Take-Off in a 737-700 yesterday, with the Flight Simulator 2004 from the very same airport. When rolling into position on the runway I thought at first: are you kidding me? Look at the mountains! But there was enough room for a relatively normal climb rate and a not too steep right turn after taking off from runway 8. Must be really cool doing that Take Off for real. I noticed that the pilot only used very little flaps during your Take Off.
Very cool to see the ailerons and flaps at work.
lovely 737-200, looks like a very fun takeoff.
Very cool! I'm glad you kept the video rolling so we could see down Gastineau channel and Eaglecrest. This is also called the Lemon Creek departure. I used to live in Lemon Creek, and every morning at 2am (when the wind was out of the east), Alaska Airlines had a old, loud 727 full of cargo depart runway 8. It was a pretty good alarm clock. A few hours early, but effective.
thank you! This is just a little tribute to one of my greatest flights ever...
I love to go to Juneau one day. Great procedure by the pilot.
Gorgeous!!
Awesome vid! This is my favorite T/O video now for the drama amidst the spectacular scenery. Thanks man!
Put that one on my list of airports to visit. :) Amazing!!!
just great thanks again for sharing dude
Wow that is spectacular.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I got to do the "Lemon Creek takeoff" only once and it was enough for me. I'd heard about it for yrs and finally was lucky enough to do one. Yikes indeed.
Fabulous video. Thanks so much.
Great job and great scenery
I just flew on a 737 200 two days ago, I love that plane, I just do and the flight was the smoothest flight i've had in years. My view however, wasn't nearly as spectacualr as yours I am afraid. this is great
Wow that was pretty insane!
insane flight!!!
Sweet blast off!
two words.... nuts and crazy!!!
GOOD PILOTING!!!
Give me chills.
man, i miss those "classic" 737s!!!
Wonderful!!
Amazing! Really good pilots
wow thats an amazing and powerful take off!
amazing take off~ nice job~
what a view!
omg! great video!
A little mountain avoidance maneuver there LOL....Good pilots don't let good customers down...Whew!
Wow that's cool!
Amazing.
awsome!
Don't kid yourself. Incidents are rare, but Juneau landings and departures are very complicated procedures..especially in low visibility. It requires you to fly at a mountain at a few hundred knots, only to bank left at the proper moment, and land--sometimes without seeing. Modern air navigation can make this routine, but this aint for rookies. A pilot did second guess the landing procedure. The flight was Alaska Airlines 1866. It went full speed into that mountain.
Wow! Neat!
Awesome...
I have experienced this take off before, its pretty impressive
Fantastic
beautiful
that is AWESOME!!!!!! It would freak out my mom though =p
Wow that terrain looks awfully close 👍👍 subscribed
nice! heave on earth cant wait when I visit there
I suspect the minimal flap setting is to allow better one engine climb performance, should the need arise close to the ground.. that'd be interesting on that departure!
Great video. Is this procedure still done, even with newer versions of the Boeing 737? Thanks for sharing.
dude that was cool! anyway why the immediate right and left turn after takeoff is required?
Great!
And the good old PW JT8D-17 !
world love t have seen this from the cockpit
Question. If the large mountain presents a problem on take off, why not just take off in the opposite direction?
awesome
WOW! That was a spectacular takeoff. Good video. I know Alaska Airlines has replaced the 737-200`s, but what to they use on flights in Alaska now? The 400 series?
What a take-off! How long is that runway?
i like the -800 too: Alaska Airlines is even using the -900 series...but this good old -200 is a whole other category.
Serious power.
you are so right!! Flying the 737-200 in Alaska was one of the coolest things ever. It's really some kind of a spiral climb, but it starts with that immediate left hand turn. Unfortunately i cant find any information about that departure procedure on the web and there is nobody else who posted a similar video. Thank you for the comment
I live in Juneau and whats cool about this departure is that they never turn left taking off Runway 8 they always go right and fallows a channel out of the airfield very odd they would do a left turn after takeoff cool video.
All take offs from Juneau are like this one?
Where can I find the chart for this departure? I cant find anything on the FAA's website for aeronautical charts, but there are some departue routes here.
Where can i find the chart of that take-off procedure?
and here I thought the Concords Kenndy1 Depart turn was fun..I am gonna have to try this one.. I bet the aircraft was yelling bank angle, might be the way the cam is held tho.. Looks fuuuuuun
you should put that video online...so we can watch the "cockpit perspective" of that departure
i remember an official boeing test, in that a b 757-200 was filled up to the top with cameras, cellphones, radios, gameboys and other electronical devices: no effect on the airplanes instruments and stearing was registered
Nice! Left then Right. No one told you to turn off camcorder before takeoff? But glad you posted this for everyone. Why can't I turn off [x] the advertisement obstructing some of the view?
Why would anybody tell you to turn a camcorder off before takeoff?? Is that some kind of weird American "security" thing? There is nothing in a camcorder which could interfere with aircraft systems.
is that atc in the
what plane was this?
A classic old 737-200Adv
thanks for the info...i always couldn't understand what the pilot says in the beginning: lemon creek departure! thanks for watching ;-)
hmm, I thought they'd publish it at least to the FAA's airport chart website since it is a SID (Standard Instrument Departure)
@deltaA320 its the good old boeing 737-200 Combi
Was the plane deiced b4 takeoff?
that's a left than a right.... not the other way. And, man!! That plane is 200 years old!!!
What time of year was this footage shot?
i took off from crete twice, but i cant remember any special procedure - i guess you were "lucky" experiencing that. I know that crete is supposed to be one of the dangerous euopean airports. pilots joke, it's like landing on an aircraft carrier. Thanks for rating...
Used to do that in b727 rew
Badass
Keep seatbelts fastened!!! WOW!
it´s a immediate left and left turn after takeoff, anyway very extreme, no for me. tks for sharing
woah
O_o Exactly what i hate in a Take off :p when plane turn hard just after take off
but it's so much fun too!!
@Flowis311 yea its is look at the engines
I wonder how they do it in IFR conditions
Yikes, looks like you'd only have to be off course by a few hundred feet to slam into the side of a mountain. Surprised that procedure is FAA approved, maybe they better take another look at it.
thanks. lol. i forgot that.
i lived there for a year- my chance to make those cool videos
now they no longer use this obstacle DP; I flew out of there this year and we did a straight-out RNAV climb up the Gastineau Channel; pulled some g doing it in an -800.
Old B 200 rule !
@SenorSpode - I'll leave it to you to enjoy :) I'll go by a cruise ship there and back, thanks anyway!! (I don't like many roller coasters, either).
didn't exacly fly back over the field as far as this video shows (assuming that voice was that of the captain alerting the passengers as to his intentions as soon as the a/c becomes airborne)
holy crap what a vieo
wow
most of those mountains are more like 4-5k at the very most. they start at sea level, so the height of the mountain is the actual elevation, not like a lot of places where you start high up already. 10k feet means 10k feet, so a 5k mountain is 5k below.. not like a 5k mountain from 5k starting elevation = no clearance.
