andrewkif Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hello everyone, This was a short hop over from Newark Liberty to Washington Reagan National Airport, operating as a United Express flight with the ERJ145 aircraft. The late afternoon traffic congestion at Newark was quite severe, but it was actually quite enjoyable watching all the action unfold while waiting for takeoff. I want to dedicate this flight out of Newark in remembrance of all the innocent civilians who lost their lives in the tragic events of this day fifteen years ago. Let us never forget. Hope you guys enjoy the shots. - Andrew - - - - - - - Awaiting evening departure from Newark Liberty. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss19/andrewkif/ASQ6T/download_zpsdkuwaj86.jpeg Taxiing through the busy movements on the ground. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss19/andrewkif/ASQ6T/download%201_zpsticsgyu0.jpeg Scrambling to get going before the sun sets. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss19/andrewkif/ASQ6T/download%202_zpsp8uibirz.jpeg Action all around: an American 737 starts takeoff as a United 757 on approach comes into view. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss19/andrewkif/ASQ6T/download%203_zpscqigugg2.jpeg Playing the waiting game - Virgin Atlantic goes, and then it’s us. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss19/andrewkif/ASQ6T/download%204_zpse02lmxgz.jpeg Virgin Atlantic is away, now it’s our turn to jet out of Newark! http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss19/andrewkif/ASQ6T/download%205_zpsts1z4vlb.jpeg Just kidding - holding short again as a United 737 makes its landing. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss19/andrewkif/ASQ6T/download%206_zpsa9omelwd.jpeg And finally we lift off! http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss19/andrewkif/ASQ6T/download%207_zps7ckc6zfa.jpeg Climbing out through 8,000 feet with Manhattan visible in the back. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss19/andrewkif/ASQ6T/download_zpsxl47datr.jpeg Turning left heading 215 as we proceed into the clouds. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss19/andrewkif/ASQ6T/download%202_zpsw7kglqcs.jpeg “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.†- Leonardo da Vinci :pilot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
