😢. Also is that a Saudia L1011 in the back at 1:58?

Any plane retiring to Victorville is scrapped upon landing and recycled in July 2023 the remaining Boeing 747's that are in service are being forced out of service by the FAA as aged out of service

It's a sad day when one of these beautiful 747 queens has to retire. I really wish there was a way to keep them flying... they deserve it.

Queen of the skies resting her tired eyes

The jet blast at 4:50 will also be missed, the 747 is one of kind... ain't I right?

Flying will never be the same. With Covid I don’t want to go anywhere.

50,40,30,20.... go around! This plane deserved another fly by before it's final touchdown!

There’s something very sad about watching these planes land here, knowing they will never leave.

It's a disgrace that airlines are doing this to the queen of the skies. They owe the 747 more respect than this. Any airline doing this to the 747 should be banned from flying until they put some back together fly them out of this place and give them new life.

😍😍😍😍😍😍

Every airline should have kept at least 1 747 in their fleet. I'm 50 and the 747 is the only Boeing I never got seat time in 😭✈ rest in peace Queen of the sky 🙏

Now that's epic

Sounds really dope tho! I wonder what it would sound like if you made it bigger, with a proper sound box

I wanna make one of those

Why haven't you been uploading for a while?

*DONKEY KONG INTENSIFIES*

Crash bandicoot vibes

woah thats so cool!

This is kinda a beat tho

that's like every game's jungle theme

I love it!

Cool

Rip United 747 queenof the skies

What a shame. Boeing 747 is the most elegant and the best commercial aircraft ever made. I still remember my first ever airplane ride. Pan Am flight in 1970 from Tokyo to Honolulu in an Boeing 747.

Dumb question! Could rich individuals buy those retired airliners, have them repaired, like brand new, for private use? If I'm not mistaken, John Travolta does own a Qantas jet...

just like this gorgouse plane even they get old sore kreks groans cant keep sending them to run marathons off to retirement home !! saddly then even they die but what a career its had with so many memory’s

this is where the 737 MAX should be in

Should have done a low pass. Last chance missed.

Such a waste

How many people are usually on board one of these "retirement flights" ?

dad: why y cryin so damm loud?

I flew on this airplane from San Francisco to Frankfurt in June 2017.

Not really a trio

Seems like countries in Africa would pay more for your old planes compared to scrapping it.

it returned from FRA with PX

I wonder if it was the same Randy who flew me and my partner in a United 744 from LHR - SFO a few years back. My partner won a work trip to Hawaii first class and before take off the captain (called Randy) came and introduced himself to the 1st class passengers. I remember thinking he was a very polished individual and was grateful that he took the time to introduce himself! Happy retirement Randy!

So sad to see the Queen go

She left lipstick marks on my logo as well ;}

No comment

Where's the shower of affection?

Do you know who bought the plane. Did it sell by its self or was it in a fleet bid do you know if engines are leased can buyer take over lease to save cost of replacing

No more stories to be told, no more broken hearts going home to bury loved ones, no more joy bringing a soldier home, no more smiles of connecting friends from faraway places, no more excitement taking a family on their "1st Summer vacation", no more stressful stories of the business traveler, no more mile high club members to add, no more taking people "Home for Christmas", no more hearing the chants/cheers of a winning sports team that chartered her, no more witnessing the marriage proposal @30,000ft, no more listening to the intimate conversation between strangers sipping wine, no more hearing a baby cry during a thunderstorm, no more hot meals to be served in 1st class to your hungry & particular fliers, no more going to meet your future in-laws for the first time, no more tires to be replaced, no more worn seats to be recovered, no galley to be restocked, no more movies to be shown.................. no more places to go~~ JOB WELL DONE MY QUEEN!!

@1:58.....and as the Queen glides by the L10-11, she senses doom!

Visité este lugar, verdaderamente es bello, muy relajante sumergirse en esas aguas y disfrutar del clima. Una tarde muy apacible con un entorno muy agradable.

Poor Airplane

What I need to understand is what make a fine looking jet like this one a candidate for retirement? This aircraft doesn't look like junk. It looks as though it could still make profit. I really like to understand.

how old was the plane and did it get sold again ?

I'd rather fly on this plane with thousands of landings, and thousands of hours, than a new Airbus. American all the way , Baby!

RIP giant “bird” .

There will never be a better looking or cooler plane like this ever again.
