Radar images show Delta flight 302 flying a narrow corridor Wednesday, as Hurricane Irma loomed like a monster.
"I covered my head and my ears," passenger Sheila Sellers told Inside Edition.
Aviation blogger Jason Rabinowitz followed every second of the flight on a tracking website.
"DL302 now taxiing for takeoff before #Irma gets really bad,” he tweeted.
“I was not expecting the response I got to this,” he told Inside Edition. “It was nail-biting, like, can they actually get back into the air before the personnel in the air traffic control tower evacuates and shuts down the airport?” he added.
Video was taken from onboard right after the plane took off. The pilot proceeded to fly his craft along that narrow corridor.
"On a scale of 1 to 10 on that flight, I would say I was 11," Sellers added.
Rabinowitz watched in awe at the pilot's skill and tweeted: "Amazing stuff."
