My Last HD American Airlines 757 Takeoff!!! Awesome Departure From Washington Reagan Airport!!!

What an excellent takeoff! I didn't know it at the time, but this was the last American Airlines 757 takeoff I was able to capture as they have been retired! Watch as we race down runway 1 at Washington Reagan National Airport and lift off over the Potomac River! We immediately turn left over Gravelly Point and continue to climb with a great view of the Pentagon! We continue to climb further with excellent views of the Capital beltway and Tysons Corner! The 757 is such an awesome aircraft and you can hear excellent Rolls Royce RB211 engine sounds throughout the video! The sunset is excellent as well! Perhaps it's fitting considering this may well have been the last American Airlines 757 takeoff video I'll have had the opportunity to film! Service on board was excellent and the flight was on time! Filmed from the Main Cabin Extra cabin on board American Airlines! Flight 685 to Phoenix. 2/19/2020.
