Other notes: Back in December during winter break, my family and I went on a trip to Key West for a few days. We took a private airline to get us from Naples to Key West (and back) in only 40 minutes, as opposed to three and a half hours if we were to take a boat. This wasn't our first time flying with this airline, but I hadn't gotten around to making videos of the flights until now. To this day, this is the only propeller aircraft I have flown on. I got a decibel meter this past Christmas, and I decided to use it during parts of the flights to see how loud it would be, measured in both the A-waded and C-waded scale. The meter maxed at around 115 dBC and 96 dBA during takeoff. Things got rather loud at times, it was definitely louder than any jet aircraft I've been on. I was going to record this flight with my Canon PowerShot SX540HS, but for some reason I can't remember, I used my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone instead. Unlike my other in-flight videos, this one includes the engine startup and taxi in addition to the takeoff, so I put timestamps below for those who are only interested in the takeoff. Enjoy!
