The climbout around downtown San Francisco was also straight-up gorgeous. The video below is set to start with the takeoff roll, but scroll earlier to get a look into the United Polaris cabin and the pre-flight festivities. After I posted this video I learned (thanks to our viewers) that it’s an AvGeek faux pas to play video during the takeoff itself.

Other highlights include a lightly-loaded 747 freighter gracefully lifting off beside us as we taxied to the active runway, a look at American Airlines’ massive Miami operation, and a fly-by of Fort Lauderdale airport. That unmistakeable wing and winglet was a nice foreground for some beautiful waterfront views as we took off to the east over downtown/midtown and South Beach. This was a pretty recent flight, and my first on the 737 MAX. ![]() Third Place – Sunny Summer at Miami International Airport So please appreciate these videos for the #AvGeek joys (which are great), and not for the production values (which are not great). And I’m aware I need to diversify my background music library.
