Boeing 747-8 vs. Boeing 747-400

[@robrowe6497]

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the Boeing 747- 400, The 747-8 is just an extension of this beauty. She is still "Queen of the skies" in my opinion. I believe that the 747 is the best looking large aircraft ever built.

[@ParoloAndre]

I totally agree!

[@robrowe6497]

Thank you Andre'.

[@paqx3534]

You have the sickest pans in the game dude - always smooth as butter, and panning slow down onto the wheel to watch it accelerate on touchdown or follow the cockpit and always finding that sweet rule of thirds shot like everything was preplanned. Awesome stuff man never stop

[@thegreenbastard5171]

Great sound of the 'Cargolux' at 7:15, amazing sound!!!

[@itsumonihon]

TNT 744 at 8:50 really kissed it. Fantastic landing. The 748 sure is quiet on takeoff!

[@turbofanlover]

The 747-8 in retro Lufty colours is THE most beautiful/awesome passenger jet in the air, as of March 10, 2017.........in my opinion.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

turbofanlover Agreed Whiteman, you speak not with forked tongue, but true like arrow. I love the Korean Airlines -8 that blue, close to KLM blue looks incredible, especially on the 747-8 or even the previously flown MD-11. The LH football/World Cup special looked pretty sweet to.I CAN't see any radical changes like the introduction of the 747-100 in my lifetime. Boeing got the design so perfect, beautiful lines, the aircraft did not have that *utilitarian look, it was pure art in motion. *Yes, I be talkin' about you A-380 a flying brick style wise. Let's loan Lockheed 15-20 billion to dream up a composite bodied, upgraded L-1011 and get the company back into the passenger business.

[@turbofanlover]

You, too, speak not with forked tongue, but true like arrow. ;) Yup.......the 747 sure has had an absolutely amazing run........and even after all these years, the old girl is still the one and only "Queen of the Skies", IMO......in terms of pure visual appeal, anyway.

[@patix9306]

turbofanlover What minute he fly in film?

[@pirb3]

in my opinion it starts at 0:39 until 1:16 ,black nose and dark blue stripe along passenger windows.

[@orckidnasser6458]

turbofanlover this is what had me scratch my head. , how come a plane get to look so beautiful. !

[@petermendoza1170]

Great job Cargo spotter. The Cargolux was impressive. But you've done superbly with the framing.

[@chilisos93]

Most beautiful plane ever!

Accept that the fact that there are death signs on it :/

[@thompsonriverrailfan]

@@titan9259 that’s what makes it beautiful

[@unfinishedsympathy245]

That vamos 747 gave me goose bumps , beautiful sound and take off

[@dc5723]

747-8, the serrated nacelles and extended "hump" makes it look even cooler than it already is.

[@aviationvideos]

So many 747s crammed into one video. Very nice indeed, particularly the Yangtze River one. I liked the Lufthansa 747-8 and retro livery. Smokey touchdown on the China Cargo and Great to see the Martinair. Another excellent video.

[@AEROPLANE]

Boeing 747-8! Very beautiful!!!!

[@canadianplanespotter]

The 747-400 trumps all. It's the Queen of the skies! The -8 sister might be longer, but it's sadly quieter and in WAY LESS service than the -400. Winglets and loud engines make for a beautiful flying machine :)

[@canadianplanespotter]

Um...no

[@johnwalt3504]

air force one is a 747-200 that uses 747-400 engines

[@cons6826]

Canadian Plane Spotter air force one can be any plane.

[@bridlingtonengland75]

Hey Cargospotter, From one shooter to another, you do great work man. All that panning at the end of the lens; staying sharp with the action in the frame is NOT easy. Well done.

[@mellegerda]

Love all 747s (747-200, 747-300, 747-400, 747-8). 747SP is a bit odd looking though imo.

[@evergriven7402]

Just amazing that get that huge piece of equipment to fly and land safely

[@Nooodles32]

Here is another waste of time when you fly you pick up airplane or destination time or whatever in fuck empty head morons

[@NorthernLights10]

Forgot the 747-100

[@longmaga19]

That hump and those wings, make the plan look different and gergous.

[@jcecce]

I had the privilege of flying biz class in the Luft 747-8, and it was eerily quiet! I also found it to be a beautiful machine both to be in, and watch (there were several in Frankfurt.)

[@AlonsoRules]

6:58 - listen to those mighty engines spooling up

[@BryanDorr]

The 747-400 was the start of the "glass cockpit" for the 747 family. Honestly, I miss the 747 with the P&W JT9D engines making that "buzzsaw" sound on takeoff.

[@missGraceJones]

I flew on the 744 a lot with Qantas and BA, definitely 744!

[@unfinishedsympathy245]

miss Grace Jones no doubt

[@FlyingAsia]

The 748 for me. Great compilation Martin!

[@orgcoast]

My passenger days were over prior to the intro of the 400's. However, from a looks point of view I would go with the 800F's. Great lines!

[@aspirinwhite]

the one flown by bruce made my day!

[@captkay5330]

I love the 747-8 beacause it has that awesome wing flex like the 787... and those beaitiful lights and engines... so it's the 747-8 For me..

[@MJJStuff-v9p]

I like the 747-8 too

[@AvgeekCarGeek]

Really loved that Wamos Air 747 because it's an ex Air New Zealand 744 ZK-NBV. For me personally while the 747-8 looks more modern and pretty I still prefer the 747-400 because of the Engine variety they had. The sound it makes on takeoff and the beautiful looking WLs. My vote is the 747-400

[@danieljankowski195]

B747 400- queen of the skies B747 8i- lord of the skies A380- princess of the skies. ;)

[@andylam73]

i love both. yet 7478 looks lot more sleek than 7474. she is always the most beautiful airplane in the civil aviation history.

[@heatseeker2013]

5:40 That's an incredibly soft landing! No floating! Eerie! Purr-fect!!

As smooth as you could ever hope to do. Great landing.

[@alexmonamochamuch2652]

Damn, that is one soft landing if I've ever seen one!

[@sashingopaul3111]

this must be a first for a cargo flight.

[@sandrotabidze6726]

Both are the beasts. I can't choose

[@ReverseThrustAviation]

Ich bin mir echt nicht sicher, welche Version ich besser finde... Die 748 sieht zwar mit ihren eleganten Flügel echt super aus, aber die gute alte 747 hat irgendwas ;) Daumen auf jeden Fall nach oben und wie immer eine atemberaubende Kameraführung!

[@1945thom]

i worked on fabricating the tooling that went in to the building of the 747 prototype 1965 in the bluestreak division at the boeing plant in renton wa. i was 20 years old. It's hard to believe that basic design is still flying...

[@ILIKEARMYS]

the most beautiful passenger commercial aircraft ever

[@1987ulise]

Both are awesome...miracles of the XXI century!

[@mudboots1]

Nothing like QUALITY BOEING AIRCRAFT!! 747-8 is cool. Better than 747-400. But the flaps on 747-400 are much better.

[@sadidariq8836]

[@ThesanPitt]

both are beautiful... I would love to have both of them

[@rickzibr]

B747 (400) is the genuine beauty

[@donkeyb2961]

Obviously the 747-8i beats the 747-400.

[@rabitec.]

The -8 is less noisy but I miss the winglets like the -4 had on it.

[@familiegaensler959]

Also I would love to see A330 vs. a350 If you Havent done that already.

[@yousef_98Q8]

They are both queens, but I prefer 800 it has a beauty body 😍

[@MrBibi86]

I would love to see a side by side comparison of both planes.... cruise speed vs range vs fuel efficiency vs size.

[@bobhackney3653]

My vote is for the 748. they have the new & improved GE engines, the scalloped engine exhausts, the faired winglets & other technical advances from the 787 program. The cargo capacity of the 748 is larger than the 744. Since I'm a retired Boeing employee (1966-1995) I certainly feel ALL Boeing aircraft are GRRR8 (I actually purchased many structural & other functional components of ALL commercial models 707 thru 747-400) ..but I am disappointed in the overall diminished sales of the 747-8. This model certainly exemplifies Boeing's intent to continually produce aircraft that meets w/the technical advances of the industry.

[@pirb3]

I like CargoLux and National in this clip. So I like the -8i AND -400!..

[@TheOwl]

On the 747-8, you can't really hear the fan growl like on the older engines.

[@infiniteflightpilot4682]

another beautiful video would be A320neo vs B737 MAX!! i love the 747, is my favourite plane!!

[@MJJStuff-v9p]

My too

[@scoobycarr5558]

Actually, I think the 740-400 and 747-8 are basically the same except for the winglets in which the 747-8 has none. The only other factors are the four jet engines - the 747-400 mostly has Pratt & Whitney motors except for British Airways which have Rolls-Royce motors while the 747-8 has General Electric motors.

[@SKS8080]

American vs. French. That’s an easy question to answer!!!!

[@rfaelrfael2144]

video Very good. (From Brazil)

[@MUCSpotter]

Great Video

[@itzrally7]

744 obvious choice for me. But I still don't see what we are comparing..

[@xSupra]

i like the the lufthansa 0:50

[@sydney9184]

Excellent my friend

[@kingghidorah8106]

The 747-400 is just an overdosed machine that can take off in only ten seconds even with a heavy load. It can be operated in little airports where an A320 is just a feather blown by the breeze. But the 747-8 mixes the even more overdosed 777-like engines with a more massive body, sleeker wings and an awesome roar. I stay with both. Fidelis ad Regina! (I know I said it badly)

[@walterebert1801]

747-400 looks and sounds smoother.

[@lelekoJumboJet]

Thank you so much for writing "Boeing 747-8" (RIGHT) instead of "Boeing 747-800" (WRONG) 👏👏👏👏

[@irish00011]

B-747-8-I or -F-, is far more superior to the 747-400. Boeing made wholesale changes for a complete upgrade, and not just of the engines or the wings design. The total fuselage is longer, and the second level cabin is also longer. Brand new 'state of the art' avionics throughout, and most likely, the last upgrade to the 747, we'll ever witness. As the 747, in passenger service goes, so eventually, the Airbus A-380-800 will follow, because the A-380, was never engineered for manufactured for use as a freight/cargo carrier.

[@chromediesel444]

747 is my childhood favorite aircraft.

[@StratMatt777]

5:40 Former ANA 747-400D JA402A. Rolled out of the assembly hangar in November of 1997 (I helped assemble the wing). www.planespotters.net/airframe/Boeing/747/B-2432-Suparna-Airlines/kKYQhk5M I really enjoyed this video! 744 F with GE Engines & 748 I are my favorites for visual reasons.

[@Thewholebeing23]

Too bad the next generation will never fly on this beast

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

Just wondering, on average, how often tires have to be replaced on these and other aircraft with similar landing gear.

[@juanqwerty3007]

I believe that Boeing must be properly revolutionary and redesign this great model, allowing fuel savings and better opportunities. For this, it is necessary to develop new systems of intercontinental operations that allow maintaining the leadership in the manufacture of commercial aircraft.

[@uyiosazuwaosunde2390]

Love 747-400 will always be my prefered private plane while 787-8 will be fine or prefered for public air travel business

[@eacpires]

MY NUMBER ONE IS THE BOEING-747-400, THE QUEEN OF THE AIR!!!!!

[@SabitTSDM07]

A380 vs B787!

[@sgt2dog]

Every other 28 days I flew to China, then returned every 28 days back to USA on 747-300's SP, The best 747's ever. I would fly from Atlanta on L-1011 to San Francisco, or LA. To connect to my China flights, did this four years straight. Before the 747-300 SP, we would have to fly to Hawaii then to Midway, then the Philippines was a long 17 hours. The 747-300 SP cut our flight time by about 9 hours.

[@mig25pd]

Boeing 747-800 seems more elegant.

[@lrg8734]

The classic Dash 100/200 series is the nicest looking, proportionally-speaking.

[@hawkeye-vv4kb]

Question: The current Air Force One is a 747-400, but I find it very odd that it has no wingtips and it looks like it has not been modified into winglets, which the 747-8 is equipped with. Is the current Air Force One perhaps an archaic 747-200?

Yes it is
