747 WOBBLY Crosswind Arrival | Air Force 2 at LAX

What a Day!!! 747 Lufthansa pilots hard at work, and a surprise appearance by Air Force 2. VP Harris headed to San Francisco early Thursday morning, and returned to Los Angeles Thursday night.
There was no way I was going to miss AF2. We raced to get The LA Flights Show started half an hour early to film the departure. We extended our broadcast by two hours to wait for our “One More Plane”. It was a suspenseful wait due to the fact I couldn’t confirm the destination of AF2 after it departed SFO. We Rolled the Dice and waited for our One More Plane to be the Grand Finale of The LA Flights Show.
I always love to say, “you never know what you’ll see in a day of plane spotting with LA Flights”

I love(!) ….. LA flights…. with their comedic……..voice……. here……. on LA flights.

[@L.A.FLIGHTS]

Cheers! 😊

[@markkeller9378]

That 747 video is outstanding. First, it is my favorite plane of all time. It truly is the King. Developed in 1960’s its 70 years old! Great great clip!!

[@aviationarchie3038]

The 747 is the queen of the skies and the a380 is the king

[@thepinkyprincesspoetc.a.5767]

I was born in 1960 and am 61... Haven’t flown since 1979 to Calgary from SaltLakeCity on a 737 Western Airlines now Delta... we even had to walk out on the tarmac at Salt Lake City International Airport and climb the stairs up to the plane... I sure miss those days!🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎 I sure love this channel!

[@kevinj2412]

@@aviationarchie3038 Perhaps but it will never carry as many passengers and as much freight as the queen has in her lifetime and will continue to do so for many years. The 747 is an icon that will never be surpassed.

[@aviationarchie3038]

@@kevinj2412 yeah the thing I'm confused about is the a380 is bigger and they use the 747 as a cargo operator and not the airbus a380

[@billb.7346]

Haha developed in the 60’s it would not be 70 years old.

[@silver-berry]

I love the highlight reel videos! Either going back for my favorite moments, or catching up on what I missed when I couldn't make it... because you never know what you'll see planespotting with ! 😁

[@cherylreichardt]

I was holding my breath for that Queen! Bravo to the pilots. Thanks for the great livestream guys!

[@queenmarukz3673]

Amazing highlights! ✈ thank you Peter and Joshua.

[@enrico_0914]

The engine almost touched the ground in the amazing approach!

[@Originalman144]

Pilots did a wonderful job! Wobbly approach but the touch was perfect! Nicely done in a tough crosswind. It wasn't as dramatic as it seemed.

[@gamingstuffpodcasts9763]

What a day yesterday!

[@johnclements8549]

Wow, what a wind wobble! Air Force One was in Portland and Seattle on THURSDAY.

[@nikvolt8298]

I love your night stream. I had it on the big screen in my lab

[@ricardos4257]

Great show as always! I will be flying on United's 787-10 for the first time in September from Newark to LAX - very excited!

[@mousemommietv]

Amazing filming! Must watch lots of times.

[@RangerChris61]

Had my mother coming back home today and after seeing this am doubly glad that she did not come into LAX.

[@charlesbowyer3708]

Awesome

[@annwilson9446]

Joshua the amazing camera man! Peter, love your enthusiasm. You guys are awesome. Great show guys .

[@phillipcegielski]

Evey show,,there is always something that tops the one before it. Yesterday was a prime example. You guys did great,,as always ( like 119 by the way...).

[@ceejay8037]

Fabulous show. Brilliant work guys !

[@hanssamson5436]

The queen of the skies never gets old Peter like the A380!

[@TheFoxyb]

This is excellent! Even though I saw it live I still exclaimed when that 747 landed, sooo close! I didn't get to see AF2 land at the time so enjoyed that too

[@basfinnis]

Lovely aircraft. Trouble is the two inner pods are very close to the ground so you have to land completely flat on 800. Not a long runway that one either 😳 Another lovely day at LAX. Thanks 😘

[@theacechip]

It never ceases to amaze me how the B757 looks like a much bigger airplane in pictures and videos than it actually is in real life , especially compared to mid-size widebodies like the 767-300 or 787.

Keeping things Green.👇

[@parzivalracer1817]

I flew out from LA 3 hours ago and it was a scary take off!

[@aliciadaas2323]

Great capture of the 747!

[@ElAye]

I saw the 747 touchdown and then looked off and heard you say "Ooo!". So, like anyone would do, I backed the video up, ..and ooo'd with you! 🙀😂

[@rosieb4746]

Love these highlights! I have it on my TV while you're streaming but have to come and go. I hate coming back and hearing about the awesome ______ (fill in the blank). I know this takes so much more extra time to edit these videos. I want you to know I appreciate the extra work!

[@moviewatcher1239]

I've never seen Air Force 2 for the first time at LAX before that caught me by surprise as for the 747 that was a crosswind landing all right

[@3MinutesofAviation]

Hi guys, I love the Lufthansa 747 landing! May I feature it on my channel? Of course with the link back in place. All the best!

[@L.A.FLIGHTS]

Yeah go for it! And like I said we have a whole bunch of highlights

[@3MinutesofAviation]

@@L.A.FLIGHTS Thanks a lot! Would you be fine with me featuring future videos without asking for permission each time? Of course the link back is always guaranteed 👍

[@spionsilver9626]

awesome catch of a close one gusts giving the pilot a hard time it seems you can see the left main gear actually lifting up again almost scratched the runway with the engine

[@adamrameli1990]

Cool

[@adamrameli1990]

Yourwelcome

[@dereklloyd7678]

Hello Peter and Josh. Thank you for your hard work. As you know I am in Seattle and of course I have been following the coverage of President Biden’s visit to our State. I didn’t know you were live in LA. Thank you for sharing. As usual outstanding work. I look forward to tomorrow. Have a great evening my friends and greetings to everyone from Seattle Washington.

[@mariainman3618]

Yes upon re-watching the replay yes I seen the engines almost striking the ground also it's very cool to see Air Force 2..... it's pretty cool where I live… AF2..... practices their touch and so's...... while I was working at the airport I briefly took some video of this yes it is pretty cool ❤️❤️✈️✈️

[@marcmcreynolds2827]

[Landing gear engineer] Once all the main gear tires are on the runway, there isn't risk of a nacelle strike. The worst that would happen is so much load going into the gear on that side that one or both of the struts bottom: The nitrogen inside gets compressed until metal-on-metal contact occurs at the top of the strut between the piston (shiney part that moves up and down with the tires) and the cylinder. That would be rough on the gear and no fun for passengers, but again shouldn't involve the nacelle scraping (disclosure: I haven't worked on the 747-8). I was watching for a right-roll rate (angular velocity) just ahead of touchdown which would explain the wing drop, but couldn't detect anything significant. Maybe right aileron was applied at touchdown as the flying pilot continued his or her efforts to keep the wings level but hadn't yet detected touchdown?

[@Zarni-fv2fj]

Looks like the far right rear tire blew. All wheels were down before that last blast.

[@keirra5096]

[@thomasairbuspilot]

Almost an engine strike on that 747! There’s a video on KZbin of that happening to a 747 at LAX.

[@marysmith9361]

Just missed losing a couple of engines!

OMG I missed this before!!!! Glad I get to see it now!!! Air Force 2!!! What a beautiful plane!!✈🛩🛫

[@jvee2901]

The VP is on AF/2, thats the call sign. The same plane didn't have a call sign designation.

[@karenmonson9893]

Lufthansa flight coming in wobbling up in the air and when landing!!! This is scary to see!!!🥴😲😖😣😵😫😱

[@1981troublemaker]

Started with both of them taking off in the morning then ended with only one landing back at LAX???

[@risom95able]

Looked like the 747 blew a tire.

6:23 Dangerous Landing

[@keithwheeler5467]

Number 3 just about scraped , no ?

[@waynelast1685]

Why’s was there two Air Force 2 planes?

[@lindaallen2989]

Yikes, Lufthansa almost crashing after 11 hours. Scariest landing ever.

[@dianekay8771]

Airforce 2 would have the VP on board or it would not be called Airforce 2

[@L.A.FLIGHTS]

Tower used call sign af2. If they used it I’ll use it👍

[@djor316]

I do not understand why the Air Force planes were landed at a civilian airtport. They are always are landed on military soil. Why the decoies?

[@dianekay8771]

Airforce 2 is not as big as Airforce 1

[@2468HOTROD]

The back half of the cabin in AF 2 was completely dark upon landing.
