That brings up a good point, some Business/First Class window seats are not at the window, as the seating is staggered.You can go to Seatguru dot com and select your airframe and possibly your airline and then see the seat placement. You'd want a window seat on either the left or right side of aircraft a couple of rows forward of the wing leading edge. Here is an example where row 12 or 15 would provide a view of the inlet.
AA flights I have taken are 1-2-1 and forward facing (like UA)Anybody know what’s the best window seat on Boeing 777 to see engines spooling up on take off roll ?
Which business class seat on American Airlines do I need to book ?
Do you carry Saran-wrap on planes ?The best seat to sit in is the one where there isn't a person who smells, coughs, sneezes, talks your ear off or infringes in on your space.
Understood - I don’t fly for vacation anymore - just for work …Nope! I just don't fly anymore.
Nope! I just don't fly anymore.
I have been flying sine 1968 and I'm done. And it isn't just about smelly people, it's about rudeness of passengers, fights, passenger who feel themselves to be entitled and the airlines themselves. I'm done!
Of course, that depends on the airline and flight chosen.Air travel has gotten similar to a Walmart Supercenter, sometimes there’s low class idiots causing trouble.
And class of service …Of course, that depends on the airline and flight chosen.
When a huge turbofan is making static thrust they tend to cloud their inlets. At high idle you'll see the condensed air drawn into the inlet. This is naturally more noticeable in moist climates. Look closely at this photo of a GE90 spooling in the runup hold - notice the tiny tornado at the 6 o'clock position. It's really fascinating when they draw in their own exhaust.

I spent 30 years working on airplanes but am now retired. My last few years were spent working GE90's and CF6's. I was an inspector so my duties were centered around ensuring configuration compliance and build accuracy rather than actually turning wrenches.I thought you worked on engines at Delta ?
If so, which engines ?
Yes, I want to see the fogging of engine.
