I’ve always loved airplanes. I can’t remember a time that I didn’t. When I was 3 we were on a night flight from Caracas to Miami on a PanAm 707. Somehow my dad knew the Captain and had told him about my love for planes. Maybe an hour or so after takeoff a stewardess came and took me to the cockpit. The Captain asked me, “do you want to fly the plane?” He then proceeded to set me on his lap. And as I sat there holding on the control yoke, looking at all the lit instruments in the otherwise darkened cockpit I knew right there and then...”This is what I want to do”. I remember all that like it was yesterday. Today I’m a Captain with United Airlines flying the 777. And Coincidentally my favorite time to fly is at night. I just wish I could bring every little boy and girl that shows an interest up front and allow them the same experience. For little did that Captain know, he set on the course for the rest of my life.

[@timleigh5151]

I always fly united maybe one day you might be my captain👍

[@tulekit4336]

When I was a little boy we lived in the Panama Canal Zone. My earliest memory of flying was maybe age 3-4 or 5 flying to STL with my parents to visit my family on leave. My strongest memories are of being so excited that I ran up the wrong tailcone stairs of planes lined up to take on passengers. Of looking out the window at the field of blue taxiway lights -a sea of blue as far as the eye could see. (To this day I must have a window seat) Of walking on the tarmac under the wing of the biggest fastest loudest thing I’d ever seen. Of asking my mom over and over “are we ‘up’ yet?” (Cruising altitude). Of the stewardess inadvertently waking up my mom coming thru the cabin with her cart. Of stopping in Florida on the way. Of landing in STL greeted by grandpa wearing his best suit and hat who kneeled down and asked me if I knew who he was. I did. I thought it seemed a silly question haha. To this day in spite of all the drudgery of flying I try to keep that same child like excitement of actual flight itself even these 50 years later.

Sometime about 1977 or 1978, Jimmy Carter arrived in Providence on one of the original 707 AF-1 aircraft. I think the longest runway was a little short of 7000' back then. Of course, on departure, it wasn't going to take off with a full passenger and fuel load.

[@fr-tigerfangs7039]

You can tell the guy shooting the video is a true aviation fan: who else could spend over 6.5mn focusing exclusively on a close-up shot of the engines at take-off, not once filming anything else (landscape, the sky, buildings... you name it?)... Only true aviation fans can understand each other. Thanks for posting. :-)

My first time flying in a 707 was in 1964 and I remember reading on the flight safety card a description of what sounds to expect hearing from various systems like the hydraulics and landing gear. The 707 was a reliable plane back in the day when you dressed in suits to travel long before the cattle call flights of today.

[@sadiqjohnny77]

The 707 needed nearly 50% thrust to get moving when fully loaded but after the initial break away the thrust was reduced. This video takes me back to great times in airline flying.

I remember flying on 707s as kid in the late 60s and early 70s. The plane wold taxi to the end of the runway. With the brakes locked, the pilot would rev the engines up. The whole plane would be shaking. Then they would release the brakes and the plane shot forward, then down the runway and into the sky. It was GREAT fun.

IMHO, the Boeing 707 is the most beautiful airplane ever built. The 4 JT3Ds at idle created such a sweet sound! When I was an air traffic controller decades ago, I had the pleasure to both fly in cockpit, and work with these fine aircraft. If I close my eyes and concentrate, I can still hear those TWA 707s on the tarmac....

[@charliemaggionyc-commercia4362]

There is nothing like the classic, powerful, noisy, smoky 707 on takeoff. That was a real treat to see that on film.

[@artistjoh]

I am lucky enough to have flown internationally on the 707 in 1970. A good solid feeling plane that gave confidence over the deep ocean, yet small enough and sufficiently exposed to the sound of those jet engines to give a wonderful sense of flight. Modern airliners might be relatively quiet and stable but they insulate you from the feeling of being on a wing and a prayer. They are like overgrown buses whereas the 707 was an aircraft that inspired the imagination. Love those engines.

I know newer engines are quieter, more powerful, and more efficient, but I've always liked the look of the older turbofans a lot more. These just look so much more like what I think of when I hear "jet engine."

I love the sound of the engines roaring when I'm in a plane I always sit by the wing side.

[@youchris67]

I remember when I was a 7-year old flying from New Orleans to Baltimore on a 707 to visit my aunt for the summer of 1974. I was a smart kid who knew all airplane types. I remember my view of the wing and engines was exactly like seen here in this video. Brings back incredible memories.

The brave 707. This was Brazil's presidential plane for decades, retired in 2013. It was purchased by the Brazilian Air Force in 1987 from a local airline, which originally acquired it, brand new, in 1968. It justly received the nickname "Sucatão" from the population, something that translates as a huge piece of scrap metal or junk, due to the decades of service and various mechanical problems. The "Junk" FAB 2401 was dismantled in 2014.

I remember traveling in the 707's out of Dallas in 1963 when I was 23. I remember one time we had a tail wind and flying west we arrived "before we took off" because of the time zone difference. I took my first flight in 1947 in a Piper. I still get emotional with every lift off. I am taking my grand daughter to Europe on a 747 for Christmas before they disappear from the skies.

[@jamesm.taylor6928]

I used to LOVE the 707. It was my favorite plane of those times, by farr. It was soo much fun watching people scared to fly when they were on 707s. You see that type of aircraft had a wing design that allowed it to flap, sway, and flex quite a bit, feet going up and down but I forget the exact specs The engine mounts too would allow for a ton of movement as well. This was so disliked by passengers that this was the last airliner with a wing designed like that although it was actually MUCH stronger than the wings that are more rigid like is common today. It would make for really fun flights especially flying through rough turbulence and or storms--yes they used to fly right through storms but don't today either. The wings would be flapping like some huge bird with the engines moving from side to side up and down, many times in differentt directions than each other, it was GREAT!!! But oh my the white knucklers would freak! Just loved the old 707!! Wish it was still in service today, i would fly it in a second if given a choice.

[@kevintennant7701]

I flew on one 707 in the Canadian Air Force, Such a privilege. Thank you for posting this beautiful video. I don't know about anybody else, but those engines just say safety. The raw power of each one of those engines times 4 you would feel like you would never have an issue.

In the 80's, flying TWA, sometimes I'd be on 707's (mid 80's). TWA's had French/English language printed on things. I loved the spacious feel when i got up to move around and the engine sounds. I could see and feel why the Boeing 707 had become THE most popular long distance airliner of the '60's and '70's. For '80's jets, the L1011 was mine and many people's favorite.

Back in '68 one Sunday morning, my Dad was helping me with paper route and just after filling the trunk at the paper shack, we turned to a westward heading and in the sky was a 707 or DC-8 one thousand feet high, pitched about 45 degrees with 4 streams of black coal pouring from the engines 2 miles in front of us. I know both of our mouths dropped because it was leaving a small regional airport. The pilot landed there by mistake the night before. They off-loaded the people and stripped the seats installed two pilots and we saw them ...'hunt for heaven'. Never forget it.

Interesting thing about these P&W JT3D turbojets. Unlike Rolls Royce, who researched turbofan technology directly, P&W used research from their cancelled nuclear jet design to incorporate their two stage design into this engine. It was essentially a shoulder shrug thinking "let's see if this works", and it worked well. Some militaries still use this engine today.
