A flight between two of my favorite cities on one of my favorite airlines and on my absolute favorite airplane. What could be better ? This is one of my longer programs but also one of the best in my opinion. Because of my enthusiasm for the the magnificent 747-400, I wanted to produce a robust and interesting video for my viewers.

Born and raised on Oahu......Ive always loved this airport.......my mom would drive me down here from Mililani town to watch airplanes when I was little.....ill never forget it....im 52 now....I also worked at Hertz rental here when I was out of high school.....great memories watching all the planes takeoff and land.

[@thegteam4349]

I can relate, when I was stationed on Oahu I'd go out to a spot on Hickam AFB where the airliners flew right overhead on landing. A beautiful place Hawaii is, I truly miss it. Cheers.

[@ikaikamaleko8370]

Yep I hear ya exactly!:)

[@scottfrench3354]

Ikaika Boiser I lived on a Oahu for year. Wife was military. But I used to take my daughter who was two at the time down to this parking lot right by the runway and watch planes take off for hours every day. That was 11 years ago. And I miss that that was one of my favorite things to do

[@freddyhoyt1849]

I’m a recent retired flight attendant and I flew from 1987 until January 2024 I loved flying on the 747 it is a beautiful plane ✈️

[@donnahanscom6300]

Since Our Dad was in the Navy Over the Years This was is Final Stop Here Now That Dad Has Retired from Navy It so much Fun & Great Memories.

Beautiful. This is what makes youtube great.

[@lynnmcbride2425]

Mr. Mullis, Thank you for such an amazing video. I felt like I was actually traveling on this flight, eating the great food, and experiencing the whole Beauty of this flight. For many reasons I have never traveled on the 747, I'm just amazed at her grace. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience!

[@MHG62]

I've seen a lot of flight videos, and this one really stands out. It was awesome. Thanks 👍

[@Thanatos9029]

The indisputable queen of the skies!

[@jeffschwartz7923]

This is probably one of the most wanted airline routs on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!! Since pilots can only fly about 50 hours a month - 2 of these in a week - and your off for the rest of the month - and if you are up the scale in seniority to get this route - your probably pulling in about $300,000 per year - cause you've been flying with Delta for over 20 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@visionist7]

Sign me up!

[@edwardhale4294]

most fly about 80-90 hours a month

[@dualactionsurgilator]

She's still a Queen. I can remember the ceremonious occasion when these Superb, Majestic planes first reported for duty with Northwest @ MSP.

[@ilikerio]

Absolutely phenomenal!!! Excellent work, what an amazing bird the 747 is! Huge like!!

[@SuperSpotterATL]

If this doesn't get anyone interested in going to Hawaii then I don't know what this is an amazing video dude! Keep up the awesomeness!

Airplane crashes

[@applefan2151]

What a coincidence, the flight is on a 747 and the flight was 7 hours and 47 minutes!

[@elfowl135]

I don't understand? what is so coincindental about the time?

[@elfowl135]

I'm probably the only one who didn't get it. Thanks for clarifying.

[@BruceWayneWorld]

This 747 is now retired and on display at the Delta Flight Museum...it is the very first 747-400 model pulled off the assembly line and has flown over 6 million miles with NorthWest and Delta and has flown over 3 million passengers. The plane has now been gutted of majority of seats and now shows its inner workings like cables etc for rducation purposes.

[@SouthernPacificPatch]

The Expert That’s a different plane, N661US. This is N667US.

[@BruceWayneWorld]

Yeah I found that out .....however this plane is retired now as well

[@paulogomes4992]

Ei só tenho que agradecer e elogiar o trabalho da equipe da Delta Airlines, uma empresa que sempre pensa no conforto e bem estar de seus clientes. Eu estava nesse vôo de Honolulu para Atlanta e fui muito bem atendido por todos. Muito obrigado e Aloha!!!🙂

[@mbvbm3104]

Delta is making good use of those 747s from NWA.

[@Mike-fo4iq]

upuu ---wouldn't you too dumbass?

[@daithilacha1]

I have some great memories of a trip to Honolulu way back in July of 1976. Totally spontaneous as I was visiting California from Ireland at the time, and someone I was staying with in SF invited me out to stay with their sister on the Island. Awesome !!! I think I went out on United airlines ( Big mostly white Jumbo with some red/orange markings ) , and it was my first time on a 747. I have one especially fun memory of duking it out with lee Majors of Six million dollar man fame, in the disco at the Waikiki Hilton. We were both going for the same gal, and I won !!!! LOL.

[@klausurban3738]

Hello, I'm new here. .. A top and great video. Very good quality. I like Delta Airlines, I was flown very often in 1990 and 1991 with DL 727-232 , DL 737-232, and DL 757-232 long time ago . It was a good time in USA.

[@QuanessaBlatchQT]

tHANK you for preparing me for my first time flying experience.

[@elfowl2592]

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!! have a good flight babe!!!.

[@ericsjursen7494]

Really a great video, thanks for posting! Also, I couldn't agree more... the 747 is the ultimate airplane.. beautiful. No wonder they call it the "Queen of the sky" (they do, don't they??)

[@divox9pqr]

Go Delta......Keep Climbing!!! Beautiful

[@craiggoodwin5515]

Thank you for choosing American Airlines

[@TheSamoloot]

Damn, thats some loud brakes! Indeed, a beautiful view and sound

[@chicaahno41]

Great video, high quality! I love Delta, I will absolutely not fly with any other carrier! Thanks!

[@braydenmaffei8913]

Jeffrey G southwest is my favorite. We have flown with them a lot and no disappointment. Delta is to expensive

[@kevinbrzostek7552]

Delta is the best and I will occasionally fly on AA depending on the city, but Delta whenever possible. Southwest never has good deals on where I want to go.

[@decendx]

Jesus christ! Thats a very early banking!!.Thanks to the pilots putting max power to those PW4056s

[@danedmiston7734]

I really enjoyed the full flight. It felt like I was actually there. Great Job!

[@JROrg2009]

Great and informative video. Just under right hours, not bad for an average airspeed of what...550-560 MPH or so, given the distance run. One thought occurred...the outbound to the island video of what seemed to be same aircraft the interior noise seemed more subdued...engines especially... this inbound to the mainland seems "higher audio noise"...at least comparing the background being heard over the engine noise.

[@SkyvatorProductions]

This might be a weird comment, but for some reason, when you fly to Hawaii or Alaska, it feels like your flying international, except you don't go through customs and immigration. Both states feel like different countries for some reason.

[@Mike-fo4iq]

skyvator ----you are an idiot?

[@HDAviationVideos]

Nice video! Hopefully I can get back on a 747-400 before they are all retired..

[@doug9066]

After getting a Gemini200 of Hawaiian Airlines A330-200 recently I like the livery too. Be great to fly on one one day. Great video of activity at the airport.

[@flordia-sf9zg]

Thank you very much for that great vid. I love PHNL.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

hi there, great trip report. Can I ask you how you made that flight path on the globe at the start of your video? I would love to make this as well for my flight clips, but so far, I don't know how to do that. Thx!

[@literalyou104]

Lol

[@jaybuggy1183]

Haha bro u made this flight funny. Watching These flights destress me the soothing flight humm. lol.

[@DansJets]

Great video. Sounds like you had the same Captain from the outbound flight. That happened to me one time on Delta, could not believe the same Captain a week later. Beautiful airplane, thanks for sharing.

[@mansourhejazi7289]

Very beautiful video. I was feeling that I was the passenger myself. Great job.

[@djheath7720]

GREAT VIDEO.BET YOU HAD A LOT OF FUN IN HAWAII INCLUDING THE 747-400.I BET FLYING OVER THE OCEAN FOR A LONG TIME WAS BORING.LIKED.

[@miaviation-railway]

Flying N667US tomorrow DTW-CDG upper deck, I think we are tied for its biggest fan! The only other 747 ive been on is N665US and it was fantastic. This will be my first time riding on the upper deck though so lets see how it goes! Great report as well :-)

[@tbrasi5887]

The 747 is THE Jumbo Jet. comeback in 40yrs and talk about the unsafe A380, which almost had "the big one" with the Qantas deal!!! I've flown in a 747 6 times and everytime I was stoked and had a awesome flight.

[@gustavomunoz2777]

Timo Rossi

[@marioprz0476]

Timo Rossi look I looove the 747 my favorite plane but the first 747 weren't that safe Boeing had the first wide body jet and it did have many flaws sure the death chamber 20 was bad but the a380 is safe just like the 747 400 and 800

[@jtrender7833]

It really hasn't changed much since 1993 when I was 11. Less 747's and 777's replaced the DC-10's and L1011's. I though it wuld be diierent since it was my first time bak to HNL since I was 11.

[@jtrender7833]

The United terminal is enclosed.

[@PeterLokey]

Awesome Video.

[@ScottysAir]

Wow! What a fabulous flight!!! I'm so glad you had a great trip to Hawaii. How do you like it? Do you enjoy it? I can see a beautiful sunset & sunrise and it's so beautiful. Gorgeous! We actually went to Hawaii almost 20 years ago and we stay in Big Island of Hawaii. We flew on L-1011 from ATL-DFW-HNL and return nonstop HNL-ATL and then FLL. We had a nice time in Hawaii. I remember when I was young.

[@sidykane7650]

nice video man .

[@taurustraveler8068]

I will say it looked like a smooth flight of which you recorded.. Thats the one thing I don't like about flying is the turbulence!!!

[@thomasjsanford6296]

I'm surprised to see a 747 being used for a relatively short Domestic flight, I would have thought a 747 was most efficient at Long-Haul International flights...

[@agents1649]

Thomas J Sanford We flew in a 747 in 92 from IAH to Honolulu (Continental).

[@Dino0469]

Enjoyed the video as with all of your videos and it's almost the same as being there myself! I noticed you mention the 747 as being your favorite. Mine was and always will be the L1011. I've watched all of your videos especially the L1011 flights and they really take me back to all of the times and memories I have of flying on Delta and Eastern L1011's ..in a time when flying was fun, the flight crews being very informative and cheerful with a sense of humor they just seemed happy to be there at work. Rarely did you see them being rude or angry to passengers. My, how the times have changed with air travel today along with planes having changed as well. With the exception of the 747-400, most new generation aircraft now flying are uncomfortable, boring with no character at all and basically are just the opposite of the L1011. The Tristar had plenty of character, was roomy and fun to fly on plus of course had that unmistakable sound of those RB 211-22's on startup and takeoff! I remember at cruising altitude how they would always lull me to sleep with that humming drone on those long flights. I especially enjoyed your video of the flight on the L1011 landing in Kahului which I was lucky myself to have experienced that same flight a few times years ago. It is a bird that I truly miss and to me was also one of the most beautiful and spectacular out of all airliners flying back then whether it was parked or in flight. I recall several times being on one of the ATL to SLC, SAN or LAX bound flights and somewhere over the Rockies in the distance off the wingtip I'd sometimes catch the glimpse of an Eastbound L1011 zipping by in a split second headed East in the opposite direction with it's unmistakable "nose up" attitude of which it was so famous for at cruising altitude.The 747 is nice but to me the L1011 will always be my favorite. I've been through storms so harsh and turbulent that you could see the engine swinging and swaying back and forth so violently that I'd wonder if it was going to fall off?! It never did. It's a shame they're long gone now as well as that unmistakable "moan" of one heard around the airport somewhere starting it's engines after pushback from the gate. It was a very unique aircraft with plenty of character and I would book a flight on one every chance I got instead of taking one of the other aircraft just so I could have that unique L1011 experience each time I flew ATL to West coast! Thanks for posting your videos-especially the older ones! Sorry this is so lengthy.

[@raslu04]

It's too bad all of these Delta 747's are being retired soon. Such a great aircraft, soon they'll be using 777's on this route too. Awesome.

[@daytonaaviation4449]

They use a330s

[@raslu04]

+The Gaming Czar Indeed they do

[@Martythemortician]

Great Vid there and back..:) Thanks.....

[@johneddy98033]

I hope they repaint N661US in its original Northwest livery before it's brought to its new home at the Delta Flight Museum.

[@stevenjohnson4140]

[@ccwalker050]

WOW! Great video!

[@davidvillalobos6904]

amazing video

[@vbscript2]

DeltaOne on the 747s is wonderful. Economy doesn't sound so wonderful with 17.2" seats and 31" pitch (basically the same as what they have on most of their domestic short-haul aircraft.) I like 82" pitch better. :) The 14-hour flight to Seoul and back went by much more comfortably upstairs on the DL 747s than it did in the back on KAL 772s or the CX 77Ws. Granted, I'll still take the back on KAL or CX any day of the week over the back on the DL744s.

[@warhawkfan]

fantastic video! I'm a huge aviation geek and loved it!!!

[@y.k5221]

Great video

[@steveglave35]

Did I hear the FA correctly when she said that economy class would only be served peanuts and drinks with an option to purchase a snack box on an almost 8 hour flight?!?! And domestic carriers wonder why they have a customer relations problem...

[@kevinbrzostek7552]

You are correct, even though this is a longer flight than some international flights, they still treat it like a normal domestic flight

[@jcspotter7322]

Now, they treat it like an International flight, but no longer with the 747 RIP

[@coashddjj2]

Wonderful video, although I had to wonder about that dripping water from the ceiling of the plane. Who wants to pay for a first-class ticket and have water dripping on you? Anyway, you sure captured some beautiful skies. Thanks again for a great video.

[@simonjesuit3844]

REALLY liked the view from the boarding door window of the engines! Guy, you gave a lot of views I hadn't seen on other in-flight vids, ESPECIALLY on the 747. I ADORE this plane, all series.and can't wait to watch any and all videos. THANK YOU so much for ter first class experience AND the menu. The quick looked tasty.

[@AmericanAirDFW]

7:47 for a 747 to fly HNL-ATL! Great video!!

[@dmcnamara9859]

+AmericanAirDFW They are old 747s that Delta inherited from Northwest.........including all the Airbus Fleet and Previous Northwest Intent to purchase/conversion orders to present newer airbus products. It's the only reason Delta has 747-400s....with Jet-a fuel prices currently low for some....the earlier intention to retire/mothball(by NOW)) the entire 747 Fleet has been delayed for the time being.

[@vbscript2]

+D McNamara Last I heard was 2017 as the target retirement date. They've already retired some of the fleet with the rest planned to retire in the next 2 years. They had to un-retire one of them, though, after one of the ones still in service got damaged by a hail storm in China and was stuck at Incheon for weeks until they could ferry it back to the U.S. Not sure if they've tried to repair it or if they just sent it straight to the boneyard.

[@dmcnamara9859]

+vbscript2 Would be nice to see Michael O'Leary buy-up/lease all the early retirement 777s/747s coming-up on the block soon...to start his Transatlantic-Service. He has mentioned Ryanair will need about 70 air-frames. Many of the planes coming-up for sale have an easy 15 years of flight-cycles left in them.

[@vbscript2]

Haha, Yeah, I can see Ryanair running 40-year-old airframes. That sounds about right.

[@dmcnamara9859]

+vbscript2 Many of the 777s coming up on the Block are only 10+ years old......Moderate-cycle 15+ year-old 747-400 with thorough/routine maintenance can easily go another 15 years. With fuel prices predicted to stay moderately stable,operating an older less fuel-efficient(relatively affordable) wide-body makes sense. Market for new/used Large wide-bodies is in a slump. Boeing is so desperate for cash these days......they are selling New 777s for less than a $100 Million. How bad are things at Boeing? FedX only paid $74 Million (each) for all their new-order 767-300Fs Mr O'Leary did mention that he would put his plan into action when the next cyclic down-turn happens. Not good for BA/USA/EU Legacy carriers. As Mr. O'Leary likes to point-out his (Non Union) Contract and Company Pilots are the best paid/compensated in the Industry...not to shabby for a "no frills" Carrier.

[@NihselV]

This looks great! Delta is a good airline. Great Job! Liked!

[@maaza.7729]

Ha

[@NihselV]

***** They gotten better over the years. Before that, they weren't. Right now American and United are worse out of the three.

[@maaza.7729]

NihselAviation All american airlines except for exceptions like Virgin America are bad

[@NihselV]

Maaz A. Yeah, but Virgin America will be no more after they got bought out by Alaska. So its going to the bad category, in your case. In reality, most airlines will have its flaws, but from my experience, Delta got a great customer service compared to the AA I flew on. American is horrendous.

[@NihselV]

***** Agreed, but every time a new airlines comes in, it gets bought out. Sad but true.

[@gamer64games15]

R.I.P Delta 747 u will be missed 😣😣😣😭😭😢

I didn't realize they left the slats deployed that long after takeoff. That's interesting.

+zerberus500 Hello ! I have flown on a Lufthansa 747-8i and it was an awesome experience. I have posted that video also. See my collection. I believe the 747-8i is one of the most beautiful airplanes ever built. I am very thankful we will be able to enjoy those for many years to come even after the -400 has been retired by all the carriers.

[@Andygarrett357]

Been there, done that in seat A74. A travesty they stopped serving the classic ice cream sundae and instead cheap chocolate ice milk. Another tragedy is Delta is phasing out this beautiful aircraft, The Queen of the Skies, and not buying new 747-8's.

[@LT81baller]

+Andy Garrett i work at the airport in indy and alot of pilots have told me the fuel and maintenance costs for the 747-400 are outrageous so i can understand delta not wanting to bear the headache of another small fleet of 747's. i read somewhere that they plan on just going forward with B767 B777 A320 A319 A321 and A330. Not so sure about the B757 hence they bridged the gap between the 737 and 767. Boeing then of course came out with the B737-900 and 900ER so i can guess the 757 will be following the 747 out the door in the next few years.
