Beautiful KLM 747 Take off at Hong Kong airport with ATC

[@ajkpark]

[@FriedShrimpPoBoy]

Well done videographer. Beautiful.

[@operabilia]

What a thrill (and fond memories of good - and sometimes - bad landings) at Hong-Kong! Superb!

[@daemonicnimrod4772]

"Beautiful" is an understatement in describing this marvel of aviation engineering..Same for the 727 💙

[@MauritsVeen]

KLM is always beautiful!

nice video! Thanks! ;)

[@pooclan1758]

Hi, Just wondering what equipment you're using and where exactly this location is? Did you hike up the stairs on the way to the Buddha? Awesome Video! Thanks

[@worldaviation4k]

Thank you, i'm using just a normal camcorder which is falling apart now

[@pooclan1758]

cool, I'm thinking of going up there any tips? I'm HK based..

[@JelmersAviation]

[@KushalDave]

nice view and amazing video

[@mylosairplanefan]

hey, how much zoom did you use for this video? :)

[@KushalDave]

nice takeoff man

[@Aviatorspot]

Awesome mountain view of takeoff! May I ask where is the spot/ how to get there? By Walking/ cars?

[@theroamingtofu9628]

I think you walk the trail from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping. Keep in mind that it is pretty tough.

[@Aviatorspot]

Hoe long to walk? 1hr? The rack is all grass or any cleared path? Any danger there? Robbery?

[@theroamingtofu9628]

Aviatorspot It's around a three hour hike, if you walk non- stop. The path is actually very steep, and pretty challenging too. The path is actually built for cable car maintenance workers, not for hiking, but a lot of ordinary folks come hike there anyways. Like most of Hong Kong it is very safe, and all you need to worry about is getting a heat stroke or getting dehydrated if you're hiking in the summer. You could see the airport in the view on the mountain first peak of the hike. It is marked by a cable car tower, and it takes you about 45 minutes to get there from the starting point. Keep in mind that you might need to go a little off- trail to get a clear view of the whole airport. Also, keep in mind that the airport is quite far away, so if you want to take photographs there, you need a camera that zooms in quite a bit (perhaps 300-400mm), and to see everything clearly, you must go in perfect, clear, weather. Honestly, that is definitely not the best choice for planespotting in HK, but it is the only way you could get a bird's eye view of the airport. If you do not have equipment that is fit for the job, or if the weather is bad, the experience would not be as nice as what this video shows you. If you don't want to risk it or don't have the proper equipment, try the airport scenic hill. It's a little hill which was not destroyed during the construction of the airport and you could still get a semi- bird's eye view. Good luck and happy spotting :3

[@Aviatorspot]

Thanks. May be I trytthe deck at the airport. T

[@ntcrwler]

What a unique perspective!

[@drkimy]

KLM my favourite airline.

[@faithrockz1]

Beautiful takeoff

[@Tiger313NL]

Enjoy while you can. The KLM 747's are being phased out.

[@PatrickBijvoet]

beautifull!

[@vabospotter]

amazing video.,

[@worldaviation4k]

thanks

[@razhaider7943]

747= Queen of sky

[@operabilia]

That airplane is the most beautiful flying treasure ever! So majestic, elegant and unique! F****k the A-380 (although it's also pretty amazing, e.g. its wingspan!)

[@zuhaaarain1850]

beautiful recording

[@hapenisawaits4161]

This monster looks very heavy !!

[@worldaviation4k]

very heavy

[@YVR1975]

Always admired the B747 over the A380

[@10Exahertz]

[@worldaviation4k]

Jai shree Ram ji ki jai shree kirshana ji ki KLM Air

[@daftvader4218]

At least he had take off clearance. ...

[@bobboberson2024]

So weird; that POV made the CP 777's in the background look MUCH bigger than the 747.

[@worldaviation4k]

So it does i don't know why

[@EricistheV]

This video is probably zoomed in a lot and that makes it look flat, perspective gets lost a bit.

[@laavidity8339]

So... 777 is much much bigger compare to 747?

[@Barbie_badazz]

That wing flex tho

[@อาคมมากบุญ-ภ7ฐ]

เอาไว้ใช้เองเขานี้

[@alansuper3]

ATC: Triple Eight, a bit confusing in some sense Better saying Eight Eight Eight like the pilot

[@MrMallorcaboy]

it dosent seem possible how this can get airborne, it just looks to slow.

[@robertcahinde4210]

Klm my love airplane.

[@eduardotapia6660]

KLM.boy a ecuador...2020

[@Izmael1310]

Beautiful plane it is so unfortunate that all the twin engine aircrafts take over its position in civil aviation. AF stored all their B744 and KLM will do that in years 2016 - 2018 and will stop using all their B744. B748 in pax version is so rare that it is possible that you will be very lucky to see this aircraft in the future. BAW will be the same story 39x 747 in pax version average age of this fleet 20 years and nobody wants to continue with the B748 pax version :(

[@worldaviation4k]

those are old arent they with the UK airline

[@Izmael1310]

World Aviation HD Yes I think that the recommended lifespan for this plane is 25 years. So probably BAW will write off few 747's each year and replace them with the 787 - 5 at this moment. I forgot Lufthansa - they are operating 13x 747 and 19x 748 in pax version so at least one airline stepped into this :)).

[@shahanurmondol4073]

fgh

[@abdullahyahia1985]

Overlord no plane could take it's position ever. It is the only sky queen.

[@Izmael1310]

Abdullah Alfifi but as a civil aviation enthusiasts I love the diversity. If every airline will use for their longhaul flights 777 and 787/A350 in the future it wont be that interesting.

[@chren3083]

We live in a Low-V world.
