"Shhh!! Be very quiet! We are flying over rich people's neighborhoods." A direct quote from one of the flight attendants on a Southwest departure during that "Rocket Ride" takeoff.

SNA's take off path goes over super wealthy areas of Newport Beach, so they hold back after off the ground and quietly slips out to the oceans before they are allowed to rev up the engine again.

That is called an Orange County Board of Supervisors "Noise Abatement takeoff".

I live about 8 miles from SNA directly under the most frequently used flight path. The sound of the P&W engines are very unique which must be due to the geared fans. Very much a mechanical whine as the engine speed changes. Before I retired I worked a lot with Bombardier on a new type of galley refrigeration mainly because the electrical generators are not operated at a constant speed so the frequency changes in line with the engine revolutions. Unfortunately I retired before before the C series entered commercial service so never got to fly in it. I wish it every success.

Love taking off from John Wayne, The rocket take off and the bit of a drop to level off is crazy fun! I miss visiting California and SNA. Thanks for the great footage.

Views of that coastline never get old! Great engine view as well!

Love the sound of those Pratt & Whitney 1500's!!!

Very smooth and quiet take-off.

SNA Noise Abatement Procedure. Its mostly a pitch maneuver for the first 1,000 feet. Computer spits out 2 different pitch attitudes to fly. One for climb to 1,000 feet and the other for the level off as the engine cutback begins. No configuration changes till you clear the shore line or specific DME. Clean up and off you go after that.

The “Whale sound” of the A220’s engines are amazing at 1:36

In nineteen eighty six we flew out of john wayne airport in a 737-300 and captain anounced the steeper take off and said engines will be pushed to 100%,i loved it!!!

Beautiful humming engines.

Flying out of John Wayne is quite an experience. One of my favorite small airports.

Brings back good memories. When I was a kid I would fly every summer from Idaho where I lived to visit my grandparents in Newport Beach. I always loved the steep SNA takeoffs. Was really fun when I got to takeoff in a UAL 757 from there.

I absolutely want to fly out of there for this E-Ticket rocket ride experience. Can’t wait!!

We took off from there years ago right after they made the rule. I didn't really notice much difference other than leveling off sooner, which is fine with me.

anyone who has taken off from SNA knows that feeling of weightlessness when the plane levels off. Sometimes you will get an audible gasp from other passengers when who aren't expecting it.

My grandparents live under that flight path. They bought the house in 1950.

1:52 great engine sound of takeoff

I flew on a Delta A220 for the first time a couple months ago, from BOS to DFW and back. Nice, comfortable plane!

Is the A220 older than the A320neo and the A350?

I used to fly in & out of John Wayne SNA a lot. Takeoff out of SNA is like a roller coaster ride. Once, right after takeoff, right when they throttle down the engines over Newport to quiet the noise and the plane is vulnerable, we had a bird strike. Something large and white whizzed beneath my window and hammered into the starboard engine. It was a large pelican. Luckily, it bounced off the engine housing, instead of getting sucked INTO the engine. Had that happened, I might not be typing this.

They'll fly fine on one engine. I had a nearly hit the wing strut of the 172 I was flying during initial climb out of YBSU while taking the girlfriend for a sight seeing flight. Not sure out of the three of us who got the bigger fright but to me a pelican has never looked bigger.

That spool up though 🔥🔥🔥

Experienced that take off and levelling on an America West 737 a very long time ago. The pilot did warn us.

I had been warned about the take off from Orange County.. Basically they lock the brakes put the engines to the wall. and release the brakes. Once you reach a certain altidue they idles the engines and you coast until you are clear of the residential areas.. It's wild I can tell you that..Thankfully the captain came on and told s exectly what was going on since this was going to be a very differnt take off..

Well, not idle (which would cause the aircraft to lose altitude), but a noticeable thrust reduction anyway. Given that any Part 25 aircraft (most commercial airliners) can cruise around fine on one engine if the other one is lost, merely reducing the thrust some at 1500 ft on two good engines isn't a big deal. But it is kind of fun. The other thing for that departure, done at about the same time as the thrust reduction, is a slight change in heading to the left relative to the original runway heading. Probably not noticeable by most passengers, it sends the aircraft (along with the loudest part of its noise footprint) over the middle of Upper Newport Bay instead of houses.

Probably only 85-90% thrust too. Sweet airplane.

Ahh yes John Wayne. Don't want to break that Noise Abatement over New Port Beach.
