I bet that monster was a bitch to get out of ground effect

boeing 747 american nasa livery??

I would love to see this airplane fly today, restored and fly at Oshkosh

What is 16000 km in English?

How did that even happen

Great video. Shame didn’t see the 747 landing afterwards.

Great camera work in that movie and Jimmy Stewart was really good.

Where is the parachute

Nasa conformed

B747 with shuttle!!! But it's an shuttle aircraft carrier

You know those aircrews were brave when you remember that neither the airplane or the space shuttle had ejection seats.

It was a beautiful thing to see ❤️

What s the title of the song

Wow, didn't know that. Awesome. Went here from similar surprising video of take of/landing Buran :)

1:46 Never before nor after has a landing been buttered like that

I still wasnt around when she first flew but I sure was when she was abandoned. Eye-watering pictures every time.😊

I spoke with Fred Haise who landed the Enterprise. He joked that because Enterprise was set at positive angle of attack ie it was lifting the 747..that when detached they actually dropped the 747 and glided in for a perfect landing!

Nice vid ! But the engine-sound is a endless-loop.

Knew i'd find some TDS in here

One beautiful brick! I’d take her into the skies anyday! 😍

Removing the Victor Young music track is tinkering with originality...and disrespecting the composer. Worse, looping the t.o sequence creates spasmodic sound. In short, hardly worth bothering about....but that's just me, having watched this sequence, on and off, since 1956.

Amazing this Aircraft went into production!

The most beautiful brick humanity ever made.

This is called boarding a plane on a plane

Nice - but “Designed to Deliver Nuclear Weapons” not literally correct - was designed before there were any nuclear weapons.

I'm guessing you had to loop the sound because of copyright issues.

16,000 Kilo meters (Km) is 9,942.4 miles.

1:49 2:02 excellent landing

0:59 Wonderful detach

0:31 fantastic takeoff

omg i hate the back ground music..

Taken from the film Strategic Air Command with James Stewart

The Definition of a Bomber! This will be the ultimate Bomber for me forever! No other Aircraft ever was that huge and intimidating to me like this one!😱😎

Saw one when I was a young kid in North Bergen, NJ. The sound was amazing. You could hear from miles away.

Great to watch but It looks like he rotated too soon and was starting to pick up quite a bit of drag. Luckily he had enough speed to transition to flight.

Enterprise should’ve became a spaceworthy Space Shuttle

4 years before the Space Shuttle

Worked at KSC 1977

ugglies airplane ever made.

everything .... but the music

I was 16 years old when I saw my first B36 fly over Keene, Texas, while I was visiting there in 1958 at South Western 7th Day Adventist seminary, flying out of Carswell Air Force, a SAC. Base at that time, very distinctive sound, and very impressive.

I lived in Lancaster and my Dad worked at Edwards. I was six and my Dad brought me and my friend out to see this and many others including the first Columbia landing at Edwards. Is it any wonder I went on to become a pilot myself? Seems like yesterday. I’m 52 now.

I was 14 This was a big deal. Everyone was watching. I'm in my 60s now. Now, know body gives a rat's ass.

this aircraft is such a beautiful plane, i wish there were some still flying, i would sell an arm to fly in one

I remember as a 13 year old seeing the shuttle on the back of the 747 heading from the U S over Ayrshire, Scotland and heading to the Paris air show. I marvelled at it and still do today,

Amazing - I saw one at Chanute AFB. in 1974 - 17 yrs old, gone there for Aircraft Maint. training ...

Great video but the music sucked

R.I.P Queen of the skies.

What's with the banging noise at the end??
