Hi all
Was hoping somebody would be able to advise the best seat on an SK MD87 to get a good view of the engine/wing at takeoff. I was looking at 24A but worry about rows having no window, or worst still just having a view of the side of the engine!

Thanks for the input.
Flight was very nice yesterday, I ended up in 25A.
For anyone needing info for the future on this, here is my advice:
Row 23/24 - probably the best rows. 24 has a better view of the engine fans for video during takeoff.
Row 25 - Engine comes halfway across the window, it's OK but not very good for the view (although there is a limited view forward). It is also seriously noisy and an awful lot of vibration - made me nauseous after a while. You also can't hear the engine 'sounds', just a very loud humming noise (but the sound on the video has come out with every little bit audible!).
Row 26 - don't bother. Your window 'view' is the side of the engine, no upward, downward or forward view.
