British Airways 777 - Awesome GE-90 power takeoff to Kingston Jamaica

Описание: I've been meaning to master and upload this video for almost a year now.

It complements my previous Jamaica landing video which I uploaded back in January 2015.

This video shows the takeoff of the BA2263 service from London Gatwick to Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston Jamaica.

I captured this video using my current combination of a Sony NEX-5T along with an external microphone. The external microphone does full justice to the sounds of engine startup and takeoff roll.

The microphone was set to wide, meaning it captured a significant portion of the ambient cabin noise. The voice you hear at the beginning is that of a lady who was sat in the seat next to me. At 04:18 you can hear one of the cabin crew advising her that her handbag needed to be stowed in the overhead locker :)

The flight was quite heavily loaded and the takeoff was powerful. Unfortunately I was unable to record the Cabin Manager's welcome as it came a long time after the takeoff and by then my camera had overheated and shut down :(

However I was able to capture the Captain's flight update as I know from experience that this comes towards the end of the overfly of Haiti. I was ready and waiting :) Unfortunately the quality of the Captain's PA link wasn't that good - you are hearing the audio exactly as it sounded - still you can make out a fair bit if you listen intently.

The landing of this flight in Kingston can be seen in my video:    • British Airways 777 - flight 2263 - Approa...  

Don't miss the cameo by the Virgin Atlantic 747 G-VROM "Barbarella" at 08:52. According to www.thevssource.com this was flight VS63 on its way to Havana Cuba.

Do keep an eye out for my future videos later in the year as I'll be taking my new GoPro and Zoom microphone along.
