A 747 400, no matter how old she is, but she never gets old.

[@Yes_im.a-lordpeacock]

She gets retired

[@kimmer6]

I flew all around the world in the 70's and early 80's for work. I loved the 747. I flew on the Pan Am Clipper Maid of the Seas from Heathrow to JFK and was saddened to see the nose laying on the ground in Lockerbie, Scotland. The most terrifying flight on a 747 was from Bahrain to Frankfurt on a Quantas 747 flying through a storm at night over the Mediterranean. I was on the left side in a window seat and watched the wing tip bend up and down an estimated 30 feet. The engines were moving violently on their nacelles. People were barfing, screaming and praying. The lightning would allow us to see the effects of the turbulence on the engines and wings. I was sure we would die. We arrived in Frankfurt in the early morning and people actually went down the air stairs and kissed the ground. I had been on hundreds of flights but that one was the worst. After that flight I was very proud of Boeing's engineering abilities and never worried about turbulence again.

[@rvind92g]

Wow, that must have been terrifying but what a testament to the aviation engineers!

[@kimmer6]

Boeing builds them strong. The next worse flight was on a Happy Hawaiian Vacations ancient worn out 747. The pilot announced that this cattle car just set a new airframe load record, something like 722,000 lbs. Great. Old and overloaded with cheap fare old people with 5 bags each. I was sitting in the last window seat in the right side of the tail with the drink carts behind me. It was after dark. We hit rough weather. Then rougher... When the flight attendants are strapped in and you hear one crying uncontrollably, and some guy telling her ''Trust the plane, trust the plane!'' it didn't inspire confidence in me. An hour from Honolulu the turbulence was building and building. The plane shook side to side and took 2 gigantic dips where we were weightless for 5-7 seconds. The second dip felt like we smacked into the ocean. BOOM! The overhead bins opened up, stuff spilled out, the beverage carts were secured to the floor but bottles came out and broke. Insulation came out from behind the plastic around my window. The Flight Attendant behind me was crying into a towel hysterically. I'm an engineer and all I could think about was that new record for the airframe loading. Wonderful. Then the turbulence stopped. A few people got hurt from overhead baggage falling on them. When we landed I once again thanked the guys at Boeing who designed the 747. It held together. My short job was on a Navy refueling and supply ship. I considered bumming a ride back to San Francisco on it after that rough ride. But...the boss needed me sooner. The DC-10 flight back was crowded but the air was smooth. The kid in the seat in front of me screamed and cried the whole way back and the guy next to me must have weighed 450 lbs, squeezing me into the window. I'm done flying anywhere these days.

[@AMStationEngineer]

+kimmer6 I was an Industrial Engineer for both BAC and one of their vendors. My most memorable flight was a jump seat trek on the Aer Lingus ship "St. Patrick", in '85. Neatest experience was a rapid takeoff in a USAir 757 a few years back (early 2000's), while testing a new MCDU install and a software upgrade. Wholeheartedly agree with respect to BAC engineering capabilities, add to that a corporate-wide pride in workmanship ...

[@GWRProductions-kg9pt]

that's sod all tried sandstorms, RPG's & AA fire in Afghan

[@Hollyweed1]

you're a good story teller. tell us another one...

[@joeystickfigure1756]

Glad you hold the shot on the engines and the wing all the way through. Hate it when camera pans inside the cabin and back.

[@andrewsmactips]

So the leading edges retract during thrust reversing. Ya learn something new every day.

[@RoyalMela]

They fold under the wing, and that kills the wings lift and makes the plane stick to the runway better during braking.

[@gearzone2611]

+RoyalMela Sports car should have that technology.

[@jamessez5826]

+gearzone2611 pagans hyuara and la Ferrari have flaps and spoiler just like an aircraft and the pagani even has ailerons

[@Android811]

They're called Kreuger slats and they're used at high angles of attack, (slow flight) to keep air moving over the top of the wing. It's hard to see in this vid, but the most important part of them is the gap, (slat) they leave between the leading edge and the main wing structure. This gap allows high pressure air from underneath the wing to flow over the top of the wing to energize the low pressure boundary layer and stop the wing from stalling.

[@andrewsmactips]

Thanks for the comments. The observation I was making though, was that the flaps and slats on most planes stay right where they were set during touchdown and roll out, the exception being the spoilers which are armed to deploy with suspension compression. My guess is that the inboard leading edges are retracting during thrust reverse automatically in order to reduce flutter; on the 747 the inboard leading edge surfaces are flexible and are reshaped during transit, from flat when tucked away to sexily curved when extended.

[@uniqueco3710]

Planes are such amazing things and technology. Hats of to the humans!!!

[@hamzaesam9782]

The way the reverse doors, spoilers and slats move together is so amazing to the eye!

[@sharoncassell9358]

Mechanical ballet.

[@noelphilips]

Wow, utterly amazing view of the splashback, really shows the power of these CF6 engines! I've never sat upstairs on the 747, seems like it is the best view of the engines!

[@shokaku123]

I doubt that was upstairs. Must be near door 2 of the aircraft, where the best view are.

[@VICARI0S]

That is also another common misconception. For the best scenario, being near door 69 is your best bet.

[@shokaku123]

wow such a funny joke...

[@bighands69]

No fans of two engine craft are waving their little environmental flag as they want the 747 banned.

[@rachdiwalid770]

inflight Video

[@an147]

I love watching 747s in rainy days.

[@Beneluxflights]

You are not the only one ;)

[@IrishcarspottingYT]

Was on one today the landing was perfect love them

[@masonm1124]

an147 ikr

[@basspig]

When you compress the air enough the moisture becomes evident.

[@frankly5171]

747.... the most handsome commercial airplane ever. DC 10 is another favorite.

[@Samee997]

what fsx mods are you using?

[@colinboone9920]

I really hope you are joking

[@xboxgamer9680]

this is real

[@julians9362]

+xboxgamer ....

[@xboxgamer9680]

This is a real landing, not FSX

[@NETBotic]

FSX? This is X-Plane...

[@wernerhavenga3838]

I love that "ping-pong" sound. It tells tells the crew: We are committed to landing, whether you f...n like it or not....

[@MarcioMarsiglia]

Beautiful footage! Congratulations!!! All the best from Brazil...

[@corrioliseffect]

Reverse thrusters; so cool. I need to get me some of those...

[@SuburbanDelinquent]

Pretty cool

[@elbecserra]

delincunt

[@billysentilles5940]

Surprised to see you here Suburban Delinquent! Love your vids!

[@j3in725]

race your motorcycle against it

[@jordanrothstein7104]

what brings a famous motorcylist all the way over to this side of the youtubes keep up the cool vids

[@ph11p3540]

Love the sound of all that GE muscle. On the rails as a heavy diesel locomotive or under the wings of a mighty jetliner its GE all the way. Both engines sound beastly in full reverse thrust (planes) or in full dynamic breaking (Trains).

[@traineepilot57]

Whether its on dry or wet surfaces, the Queen never fails to make a majestic landing! Thanks for sharing! The thrust reversers were a real ear candy for me :)

[@flowerofash4439]

a masterpiece of engineering

[@PopExtra]

thats so cool i love how engines motors like whhruuuuuuuiiiiim they like higher and higher sound its sounds so powerful

[@Mom-USMCRichardUSMCChristopher]

Who ever shot this video, really comes across great. It's like we're on the plane too. Great job!

[@aileron48]

So many very cool (visible) aerodynamic forces, (i.e. wing surface changes, negative top surface area pressure, etc) going on there. Congrats to the camera man (or woman?) for staying with it!

[@howierambo1597]

amazing Machinery I love it

[@commandlion8667]

Badass. Love jet engines. Sound, smell, tech, everything about em.

[@Thopher99]

EVA's 747-400 fleet were retired in 2017, and I really miss them. Somehow EVA turned the second deck of their 747-400 into economy class, I usually took flights between TPE & PVG with that cozy economy seat many years ago.

[@Pulkit9292]

That wing flex

[@swapnagosavi1642]

Landing was amazing

[@Igi293]

There’s only one thing cooler than the takeoff. The landing

[@lovediecastdetails2269]

That is a super smooth landing :) excellent pilots

[@cardbored_]

It always amazes me when you can see all of the mechanics under the wing flaps (I think that's what they're called). It's a bunch of tiny gears and metal tubes that are super small, I always wonder how they're even strong enough to withstand the force those wings must endure during takeoff/landing and how when they lift all the parts are just exposed.

[@Weeklongwind647]

Doesn’t anyone talk about how hell of a good quality of the video is. Also landing 7.5/10

[@ntcrwler]

beautiful views! and a terrific landing!

[@LucasPlane]

747, a great airplane!

[@GrasP310421]

Perhaps more fascinating is watching airflow over the wing and the actions of the wing parts.

[@mauriciomyb2225]

Una belleza

[@MikeArts]

1:10 Is it normal for the wing to keep moving? :O

[@yankeemudbug3263]

God those engines are a work of art beautiful Bravo awesome !

[@jo2lovid]

Impressive rotation in the wing chord between inner and outer jet engines immediately after touchdown. Shows how much the tension the pylons and fuses much be able to tolerate, and explains the risk of metal fatigue in the frame.

[@KushalDave]

747 always do it best

[@jamessez5826]

I love the black engine caps. Awesome

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

some of the most incredible engineering is in those wings and engines, hail the human brain

[@danielsilvaferrero4449]

wow stuning

[@Pluckaiy]

its cool to see the engines actualy blowing out air.

[@veronicafleitas412]

Beautiful! Beautiful!

[@crazyflod]

Cool, it really shows how reverse thrust works

[@mikecawood]

Great stuff, love the Kreuger flaps on the wing leading edge.

[@masonm1124]

It looks like the air is getting out of the way. So pretty!

[@troyh3628]

The vapor blanket off the wing was pretty sweet too.

[@AmericanPride1234]

seems like a smooth touch down. Never been in an 747 before. My sister has been a flight attendant for 18 years. I think shes only flew a handful of times on 747s. 6-10-16

[@theaerialspotter8466]

Wow that's impressive !!!!! Love it

[@FdcTeamDev]

So beautiful!

[@lobodaestrada1]

fantastic !

[@Kilikina48]

How cool is that!!!!! Loved this video!!

[@LovingMyJourney]

Very cool. I flew on a 747 several times back and forth to Seoul, Korea.

[@OlegTeplyakov]

It looks clear and cool

[@traveltv1471]

So incredible !

[@azadahmedkhan]

Oh so that is due to thrust reverse. Saw that many times but never had an idea for the gas release either until now Thankyou Admin

[@henrinelli]

it seems to be a smooth landing!!! nice

[@gilbertsinjani5083]

This plane is massive and beautiful.😊

[@raymondk2202]

[@monabhattacharya7046]

Incredible!

[@jeffsygney6369]

Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@garryhastings3383]

Great landing there crew, wonderful stuff. Nothing will ever replace that thrill for me even now in old age. I wish my heaven to be that of take off's and and landings. I just loved to fly soo much and now, in my old age I can't. However, keep flying for me and remember my name when you do. Thanks and good Karma to you all.

[@noorsandhu9083]

Wow beautiful landing I ever seen

[@PhillRobinson]

great shot

[@sunking2001]

Great video! I love watching those engines working with the wings...and vice-versa.

[@raquelbeck3700]

Beautiful and satisfying

[@rosemtc1]

Aí love the avion

[@MisteriosGloriosos922]

*Thanks for share!!!*

[@andy82471]

beautiful smooth landing.

[@saymonfernandes1758]

beatifull

[@DiegsurfPlays7]

nailed the landing spot

[@amen6755]

Boeing 747 will always have a personal nostalgic value since the first ride as a freshmen student in '82 on PanAm- Jfk-Lhr.

[@wellingtonsilva8903]

fantástico!

[@TupmaniaTurning]

Great clip!

[@zyawotha]

something satisfying with watching a landing video

[@MrDo0bie]

Awesome upload. Clear footage, stable. Well done sir.

[@Oden-Heinrich]

Taipei. So many memories

[@gkmenon9105]

Excellent

[@dekaralis7559]

Amazing plane

[@mrcasey69]

Beautiful video. Thanks for posting.

[@Adrianna-oi7iw]

I love how on the 747s the engines look like they are gonna fall off😂

[@mrgallvitz]

Excellent video. Excellent!

[@rigstoriches6194]

Wow amazing 747!

[@rizkigaminks6086]

AWESOME!

[@Michael-xo8lw]

great video. I never realized that slats fold under on the 74 upon landing.

[@OvercomingInstincts13]

LOVE MY TAIWAN!

[@braindrain8922]

Superbly footage

[@mas96]

coolest thing ever

[@reymondrivera9407]

So satisfied

[@christiansanden8005]

747 best and awesome plane ever

[@Mamo878]

Pretty good example to see how runway foreign object damage (FOD) ingestion could really make a mess of a jet engine when the thrust reversers are engaged.

[@tylerbonser7686]

Good thing you added in the abbreviation. Well atleast you arent like most jack asses who say the abbreviation then have to explain it, taking more time than just saying the meaning.

[@BenzieFirePhotography]

It's too bad that most passenger airlines putting the 747 out of service. The beloved Boeing 747 is being transformed into nothing but a cargo carrier. 1 like=1 tear shed for the 747. 😔

[@lolohyes5372]

😦😠 Who did this who did this

[@fernandotorres4669]

Wow amazing!

[@shaggydawg5419]

... and the runway is now dry. I like your steady cam.

[@Killerpersi]

beautiful landing

[@danielferrero100]

Awesome

[@Ahsanjavedlaghari89]

cool video and beautiful landing !

[@shahranshahhossyni1393]

Love it

[@astro2k81]

gave me goosebumps

[@rayyan286]
