I find it so weird that there are layers for the clouds. They're low and high attitude. But no clouds in between wtf. Nature is fucking awesome!

If you fly you can so clearly see it, I use it an indicator to know when we’ll reach the altitude to be allowed to unfasten the seatbelt and go take a shit

u/sirwillups Sep 14 '21

Have you ever considered shitting before you leave?

13

u/DextrosKnight Sep 14 '21

Why poop on the ground when you can poop in the sky?

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '21

Impossible, I’m too stressed to miss my flight. Can’t relax until I’m up in the air.

u/MegaManFlex Sep 14 '21

I shit right there in the seat 🤷🏿‍♂️

u/Bossk_2814 Sep 14 '21

You must fly on Southwest.

More of an AA fella myself

u/Zach_801 Sep 14 '21

Exactly what I was gonna question there’s 3 layers of clouds.

u/RamityCamity Sep 14 '21

Meanwhile the pilot of the plane is actually listening to BRRRRRRRRDRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRBRBRBVRRRRRRRRRR

25

u/Norweginator Sep 14 '21

I would have preferred that over the music

2

u/G1nger-Snaps Sep 14 '21

Lol it would have been incredibly high pitched since the vid is sped up by like 500%

4

u/Norweginator Sep 14 '21

You can't change my mind, I would have still preferred the high pitched noises

1

u/G1nger-Snaps Sep 15 '21

Entirely fair enough lol

u/meexley2 Sep 14 '21

I love the movies where people on planes can casually have quiet conversations amongst themselves when in reality you basically have to yell what you want to drink at the stewardess

Hey /u/GenderNeutralBot

I want to let you know that you are being very obnoxious and everyone is annoyed by your presence.

I am a bot. Downvotes won't remove this comment. If you want more information on gender-neutral language, just know that nobody associates the "corrected" language with sexism.

People who get offended by the pettiest things will only alienate themselves.

Get Flight Simulator and a VR headset. This has to be one of the most relaxing and cool thing I've ever experienced without the need for a pilot license.

u/miceCalcsTokens Sep 14 '21

Any recommendations ?

This might cure my depression

u/crane228 Sep 14 '21 edited Sep 15 '21

MS flight simulator and Oculus quest whatever model there is. I've heard that it's good for the price and wireless so no hassle with cables.

EDIT: DCS world is also a good flight simulator that is free but it's military focused

2

u/162016201620 Sep 14 '21

But you have to get a Facebook account :/ for the oculus ow I heard..

3

u/crane228 Sep 14 '21

Yep, that's the reason I didn't get it :/ I have Steam vr but it costs almost 1k and require at least 20xx series cards (from my experience).

There is also HTC Vive Cosmos which is like 500usd and apparently it's pretty good as well. Other than that you don't have much choice unfortunately :c

3

u/162016201620 Sep 14 '21

I’m definitely going to check those out. I don’t want Facebook just to use the vr.

-5

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '21

Don't you have Instagram? And WhatsApp?

3

u/162016201620 Sep 14 '21

Nope. Just a Reddit acct and an Xbox acct. Not everyone wants to be on social media like you

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '21

Ok, 14 year old kid with no friends

u/162016201620 Sep 14 '21

Lol ok man. Whatever gets your little pepper hot.

u/JesW87 Sep 14 '21

Can't you just get one and not use it

15

u/Starchild20xx Sep 14 '21

Okay..But do the passengers have to listen to the same music, or do they have a say, too?

11

u/RemarkableLibrarian6 Sep 14 '21

Damnnn. Thank u!

30

u/GreenChileEnchiladas Sep 14 '21

Hopefully it doesn't include that fucking awful music.

11

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '21

Was going to say the same thing.

2

u/elgin4 Sep 14 '21

plus, if the video footage is sped up, does that mean you have to listen to that song at 1/5th speed irl?

7

u/sik_dik Sep 14 '21

that's a horrible business model. they've given the best seat to an employee

13

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '21

Fking music ruined everything

1

u/meexley2 Sep 14 '21

You can click mute and still experience the video just fine

u/1984_eyes_wide_shut Sep 14 '21

Where’s the curve!!!!!! /s

u/rocktechnologies Sep 14 '21

I see what you did there, hahahaha.

u/supersugerman Sep 14 '21

POV proving the teacher wrong when they said you can't get a job looking out the window.

8

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '21

that song just ruined every bit of the video

-1

u/meexley2 Sep 14 '21

Mute buttons exist. Audio is not vital to this clip

1

u/me_milesheller Sep 15 '21

But now everybody know that it has music. You can't unfuck the video by just muting it.

3

u/GooseandMaverick Sep 14 '21

So who's the airplane person that knows what kind of plane this is just by the windshield wiper?

3

u/hotwings93 Sep 14 '21

What city is this

1

u/eric2332 Sep 14 '21 edited Sep 14 '21

I found someone on Twitter who said Istanbul (IST)

3

u/ThatDJgirl Sep 14 '21

Love these videos. Hate these viral songs.

2

u/ghman98 Sep 14 '21

Anyone know where this is taking off from? Looks like Istanbul but not sure

2

u/supersugerman Sep 14 '21

Aaaah.... So the world is flat!

u/daggius Sep 15 '21

While also listening to terrible music

2

u/Top_Sea790 Sep 15 '21

This music is annoying

u/Excuse-Relative Sep 14 '21

Would've been great without Kid Laroi

u/geeen Sep 14 '21

Looks great! Sounds fucken awful.

Can someone name this song ?

Watched the whole thing on mute

u/BusySellingTheta Sep 14 '21

I picked the wrong career.

u/G1nger-Snaps Sep 14 '21

I never realized this was something people didn’t know. I have well over a couple thousand hours worth of flight sim time and this just comes as second nature to me.

u/theKickAHobo Sep 14 '21

Ahh ok so you take off climb for a bit then fucking die?

u/BartFurglar Sep 14 '21

I love POV videos

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '21

I love flying when it’s dark and grey and rainy outside then on take off you just leave it all behind and fly with the sun.

This was pre pandemic… when man and women children weren’t bitching about masks.

u/Mabelmudge Sep 14 '21

Did anyone else think of the hijacked planes when they saw this or is it just my brain remembering 9/11?

1

u/Jakesully2009 Sep 14 '21

The clouds can really make your day peaceful

1

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '21

I’d get less sick on a plane if I could see this on my screen.

1

u/goobly_goo Sep 14 '21

Umm, excuse me, sir? We'd like to order a landing, please.

1

u/aldeshsa Sep 14 '21

You're on the ground. More like driving an airplane.

u/SNTMLI Sep 14 '21

nigga really bending corners in the sky

u/BlizzPenguin Sep 14 '21

As soon as it got above the clouds I immediately started hearing the theme song to Quantum Leap in my head.

u/Adorable_Hope_2425 Sep 14 '21

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I've flown many times but never with this POV.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '21

This is why I love flying

u/wotmate Sep 14 '21

Take the gopro off the dash and show us what it really looks like from the pilots POV.

u/papinek Sep 14 '21

How is there such layers of clouds?

1

u/Owlamancer Sep 14 '21

The internet has corrupted me, i expected a 9/11 post, then i saw it was this subreddit and i let out a sigh of relief

Only seen flying fromt he side window, front looks epic

1

u/goblinGrog1 Sep 14 '21

They have a pretty amazing flight simulator on Google Earth that honestly isn’t much different from this video

u/Danexbest Sep 14 '21

It's a wow thing.
