@ch.aviation4: I rarely ever do nighttime videos, but taking off out of LA is an exception to this rule. It’s one of the very few airports where there’s actually enough lighting to see what’s in the distance as you takeoff and it’s always a fun departure from there no matter where you’re going! this video is just a simple takeoff with a left downwind departure back over the mountains to Vegas! Enjoy!
