Скачать или смотреть Southwest Airlines 737-700 Moderate Turbulence on Takeoff From Denver

After a couple of hours on the ground and a quick bite to eat it was time to depart Denver and head down to Phoenix, Arizona. During our taxi we were warned that our departure and climb out could be bumpy and “bumpy” was the understatement of the year in my opinion. During our takeoff roll on runway 25 you can spot another Southwest aircraft on short final for runway 34R crabbing quite a bit as they fought pesky surface winds down to the runway. Once we were a few hundred feet up we began to feel some wind and as we climbed the clear air turbulence really began beating us up and tossing us around. It was fun the watch and listen to the aircraft as it made constant pitch, roll, yaw and power adjustments to combat the wind. I’d have to say this was the roughest takeoff I’ve experienced and subsequently one of the most fun!
