August 21st, 2020. (Uploaded late August, 2020)
-Window seat/right side/behind the wing POV, of afternoon takeoff from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) in Phoenix, Arizona. Liftoff!! Climb-out, directly to the west, looking north, ascent over the valley and desert, above the clouds/cloud layers. A sunny yet very cloudy and hazy day.
-Flight attendant announcement after surpassing altitude of 10,000 feet.
-Awesome views of: Sky Harbor runways & terminals, 51 freeway, downtown Phoenix & Interstate 10 freeway, I-17 freeway, Loop 202 freeway below us, Glendale/Peoria/Sun City/Lake Pleasant in distance, Loop 101 freeway, Avondale & Goodyear below us, Loop 303 freeway, Highway 93 in distance, White Tank Mountain Regional Park in distance.
-Afternoon flight to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles, California.
-Part 1 (departing flight/takeoff) of Solo day trip (Afternoon & Evening) to and from SoCal (To L.A., CA and back home to Phoenix, AZ). PHX to LAX, LAX to PHX. PHX-LAX, LAX-PHX. Southwest Airlines, Boeing 737-700 aircraft.
*Hadn't flown to/from LAX since summer of 2011 (back home after New York trip, evening, PHL-LAX non-stop, US Airways).
I was a CA resident. LAX (if not ONT or SNA) was occasionally our airport choice. But now I'm an AZ resident since 2018. PHX Sky Harbor is my main airport.
*This was a quick and fun trip I planned well in advance, to fill a longtime void. I wanted to film, fully and properly, the arrival into/departure from LAX w/ views during the day. This was to make up for never doing it before, when I didn't have a good opportunity. I mostly accomplished this goal, but not to the full potential and desired standards. Thanks to low visibility, due to the clouds/smog/haze. So I will do this again on a clear day with better air quality.
-Filmed with my GoPro Hero 2018 camera, instead of my Iphone SE.
