“Twin Turbskies” CLEETUS/1320Video Shirts - https://goo.gl/PJtTyW
*Disclamer* My flight attendant said this was fine to do...
Was on my way to SUMMERNATS when this idea hit me! I've always wanted to see just how fast a commercial airliner accelerates, so I put my new GoPro Hero 5 Black to work! Using its GPS features, I tracked the Airplane's speed and altitude... it actually turned into a neat little vid! DO IT FOR DALEEEE!

    What is the top speed of McFarland giraffe?

    757 is the hot rod of the sky, try this on a Delta 757 flight from SNA to ATL for probably the fast accelerating civil airliner in the usa.

    I noticed that the plane landed right at a 160 mph, so I think that the rotation speed listed was accurate. The reason it didn’t rotate at 160 on takeoff, probably was due to the extra load of people luggage and cargo, the pilot gives themselves a little buffer to make sure they have plenty of lift when they rotate. These airliners have so much more power than what is actually necessary to takeoff that I have heard that while when they throttle up, they are close to a 100% throttle but they start backing off immediately after they rotate, my dad got to sit in the jump seat in a Boeing 727 long ago and he said that they brought the throttles back to less than 60% after they rotated.
    I was leaving work one evening and my workplace was right at the East end of the runway at Portland international airport, I watched a FedEx MD-11 go past me on approach and thought nothing of it but a few seconds later I hear an enormous roar with a crackling sound like a space shuttle launch and looked toward the runway to see that same MD-11 going almost straight up and arcing to the right over the Columbia River and over Vancouver Washington. The plane clearly had to do an emergency collision avoidence, that plane is a wide body with three engines and coming from Memphis TN, it was fully loaded and for it to be able to go almost vertically straight up on demand is incredible, these planes could do so much more than they do with passengers on them, people would be scared to death if the pilots would do what what these planes actually can do.

    One day Garrett you will get there! your first flight in that little Cesna 172 with JR was good, you will get better with practice and patience.
