@JoeSchmuckatelli im talking about in aviation. The term tarmac does not apply in aviation. It isnt a thing. You have runways, taxiways and the apron and ramp. The tarmac does not exist in aviation. Does it exist outside aviation? Yes. IN aviation? No.

I just want to point out that tarmac isnt a thing technically. Technically the area around the gates is called the apron. Secondly the “hallway” you walk down from the gate to the aircraft that is “docked” is called a jet bridge or jetway. sorry the av geek got the better of me lol

@Zozaf Kerman the captain has the ULTIMATE call during takeoff. If they think anything prior to v1 is unsafe they will stop the takeoff. Period. Its the same on ANY aircraft. Md-80, a320, 787, 777 its all the same. Dont fault the aircraft.

@SunlitZelkova i do like the 777-300er for sure. But my favorite 2 engine passenger jet by far is an old school MD-80. There is nothing like the scream of the JT8D engines as they roll into full power.
2:40 to hear the start of take off. Its also why im a huge fan of the 727! Im also a fan of the L1011 and 747-400/8. My fav 787s are the 9/10 models. I have 2 787-9 models by skymarks a klm and an american airlines. I have a single 777 model but its a 200. Suffice to say im generally a boeing fan
