American Airlines Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner Takeoff: Chicago O’Hare (ORD) to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW)

I had the chance to fly an American Airlines Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner from Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).

This is the takeoff roll from engine startup after pushback from Gate K9 at ORD until takeoff, filmed from Seat 4L, a reverse-facing seat in First Class. It's a much different perspective compared to a typical seat on an airplane. Once I tweak a few things, I'll upload the landing video from our arrival at DFW.

Spoiler Alert: The real action begins at the 9:55 mark, especially if you love the sounds of a GEnx-1B engine spooling up on the takeoff roll...
