B737-400 Cold Dark Start

Mark, I have completely retired at this point. I have flown for 8 airlines and wrenched for 8 airlines. Did a stint teaching aviation at a Technical College as a way of paying back all the guys who gave so much for my training. As an aside, while watching this video, I noticed I was breathing pretty hard. As I remember, the ground guys and I just shoved a 500 lb main tire into the aft pit and then I was late getting this 737 warmed up for the crew. I am pretty old now (65) and have never smoked, still walk in the morning, so I guess I’ll make it a while longer. Hope everyone enjoys the video. Sorry for the quality but equipment gets better all the time... Tom Bond Kansas City

“This is not X-Plane, it’s a real plane”😂😂😂😂

In modern aircraft, you just push Ctrl + E :-D

security guard: Hey get out of the aircraft now.

Thanks, Now I can steal an aircraft

In the last couple of days I've been watching all kind of start up's and this is by far the best one, you explain so much little things and with a very warm voice, thanks, peace and love from Slovakia ! Cheers!

0:25 someone who flies the IXEG 737-300, nice :)

I found an old 737 sales brochure that was sent out to prospective airlines back when Boeing was marketing the first 737-100. On the last page was a list of assumptions that were used for the advertised operating costs. Jet A, $.21 / gallon !! Average passenger weight / 145 lbs.

We are not in X-Plane XD

I will be piloting my first 737 for Ryanair tomorrow. This video is a life saver. Thank you

Wow, finally some actual footage of Han Solo and the millennium falcon!

Wow that apu fire warning is like ringing all the way from the 1960s!

That 737 cockpit looks like such a snug and cozy place after that startup, soothing sound of ducted air and fans just makes me want to curl up and go to sleep. Sometimes its hard to wait till the "gear up" call.

Don't forget to set the Chemtrails switch to ON and set the radios to 121.5 and 243.0

Thank you for this video so much I searched for a long time to find a great video like this one and I wanted the plane to be real thank you☺

Hey, thanks for making this video! It was really interesting 👍

Never seen this turning type APU switch.

Never get tired of that turbine starting up. From Batman to the M1A .

This is a fascinating video! You have an excellent narration voice too! I’ve often wondered how you start a plane from cold like you would your car on a dark cold morning lol.

Coordinates line up to a Delta hanger at Kansas City airport. Great airplane. Love the 737. Reliable and easy to work on. Easy to fly and safe to fly on. Tough old birds.
