As I’ve had many emails from first time flyers with questions along the lines of ‘what is take-off like?’, I have a quick video for you showing a typical take-off from Madrid Barajas Airport.
NB: The odd noise you can hear as we go down the runway is my camera moving against the window – it’s not the plane. You would not hear this noise during take-off.
Hope the video helps……. Just hit the play button and enjoy.
Any questions?
