Since i was a little kid, i had a strange affection towards these small diameter, smoky and noisy engine. Even today, I'd still took a time to watch these low bypass tubofans jets. I also missed these quad and trijets dearly.

[@thomasjefferson4085]

Fantastic video! A stark contrast to the boring jets of today. It was great to see such a good variety of older airlines in action many of which are rarely seen at the airports of today. I still believe the best looking plane was the 727!

It doesn't get much better than this. I used to look forward to seeing the weekly Spantax Convair 990 flying over my house on finals to Glasgow Airport, stunning looking and sounding aircraft. My favourite aircraft from that era was to be seen several times every week at Prestwick Airport, Air Canada's stretched DC8 62 flying in from Toronto. Thanks for posting 😊😊

The L-1011 and 747 were the most beautiful planes the 70s

[@carlcushmanhybels8159]

Yes, and the 727. I was hoping to see L-1011's. But I only for sure noticed one (near the end). Were there more? Enjoyed the 727's, there seemed to be many 707's --cool, the rare Vickers Viscount VC10, and the 747's, and Concorde.

The High School I graduated from ('84-'88) was less than a mile from the runway of our airport directly under the main runways fight path so when planes took off they were literally just putting their gear up when they flew over and they were loud! So loud that our teachers usually had to stop talking until they passed. Some just kept talking. You began to learn which planes where the loudest, esp just before they passed over. 727's & DC-9's were the loudest while MD-80'S were relatively quiet. When they switched to having planes land over us it was a nice break because they weren't as loud.

[@Ilikeaviation2010]

Bro I would love to go to that school

[@DeadlyKiss000]

My friend Bob was an aeroplane designer back in the sixties. He designed a plane called the D- 44. It didn't have any wings. The idea never really took off though!! Great footage here! Just love it! Thanks for posting

[@Hypnotic_Horizon]

What I love about this is the variety of different aircraft! Now we are almost left with just twin engine jets. How boring.

[@carlosbruxel]

Back when standardization was not priority. The industry had more issues, but things had so much soul.

[@harrisn3693]

Standardization for o ly one plane brand is causing more issues than it is worth.

[@depotcat1763]

I lived under the take off flight path at Heathrow and remember the Tridents operated by BEA and later BA.They were really noisy, and came over every couple of minutes. On the plus side you still had plenty of turbo props about. Vanguards, Viscounts, and even the odd Brittania freighter.

[@thomasjefferson4085]

The Trident was a great looking airliner! They sure did dominate the skies in their time when faster air travel over the turbo props was in great demand. I heard they were particularly noisy and pilots were forced to throttled back after take-off to ruduce the noise levels for UK residents near airports. I renember some contravercy about the sound abatement rule where a Trident stalled and crashed near Stanes soon after take-off. Aircrash invessigators claimed the forward flaps (dropps) were inadvertently retracted during the climb that resulted in the stall. Strange how that could happen, it's like when pilots forget to set flaps before take-off. That always results in a catastrophic accident and hundreds if not thousands of lives were lost because of that one mistake in air-travel history. That's why when I fly, I always choose a window seat behind the wings where I can see the flaps deployed before take-off so I can relax and know the plane will be capable of flight! I tnink all CFIT (controlled flight into terrain) accidents could have all been avoided if just one more peice of technology was fitted as standard to all airline cockpits; infra-red display. Imagine that? No more IMC flights crashing into mountains so simple and would work well to confirm GPWS alerts!

[@chrisnizer1885]

Great footage of classic jets. Really miss the day's when flying meant getting aboard something other than today's cookie cutter, twins on the wings, every plane looks the same commercial jets. Thanks!

[@Rocket-hb6jh]

Panop the sound is rubbish, 747 sounds for 707s and DC-8 sounds for 747s and DC-10s... so obviously just added with no regard for accuracy.

Great vision but if you’re going to call it the Sound of Jets please don’t dub wrong sounds on to some of the clips. It spoils the effect.

Some of these are sound effects. A Boeing 707 doesn’t have propellers and thus shouldn’t sound like a propeller driven aircraft.
