Delta Boeing 747-400 Landing & Taxi Tokyo Narita Intl.

Flying in from MSP on flight 621

So gentle

[@UNITED38Heavy]

The 747-400 is my favorite wide-body! Delta kept the NW 744's in good shape it looks.

[@MegaAngrygerman]

they actually just refurbished most if not all their 744's with new interiors and personal video entertainment systems. Some of the older ones like N665US were put into service in 1989, yet still fly today. They'll be around for some time, as N675NW and N676NW were put into service in 2002. 744's can easily last 25 years with good care. Great to see an iconic aircraft still in service.

Great landing! It must be so cool to have a pilot as a dad...but most of all I miss flying the 747! It was always fun! I want to fly on that amazing bird again someday.

[@maverick967]

Thanks! Im flying over to NRT on monday from ATL. My dad will be the Captain

[@UltraMarioGalaxy]

Your dad is an awesome pilot! Once a QANTAS 747 absolutely screwed the landing, came in too steep, but that is perfect!

[@maverick967]

@invertballer12 Awesome! I walked by you like 100 times! I got bored a lot and went up and talked to the Flight attendant for a bit. Idk if you would remember seeing me but I was wearing jeans and a black polo shirt.

[@chiefnwa]

Nice video man! My mom and dad both work for Delta so I'll be flying NRSA to NRT on Saturday from JFK. I'm transferring to HND though to get back to DTW so I can see Tokyo. Looks like a great seat!

[@maverick967]

@ThunderCloudMotions Great! Cant wait to see it!!!

[@maverick967]

@xxxlayxlowxxx My dad started with Republic Airlines out of MSP in 1984 then Northwest in 1985, then to Delta in 2009. He started out on the Convair 580 then went to the DC-9 and flew that as both First officer and Captain then went to the A320 in 1997 as an F/O soon moved up to Captain on the A320 then moved to the 747-400 as a Delta Captain in the Spring of 2011. He's been based in MSP, MEM, DTW, and NRT in his days as a pilot, and he still has 15 more years till retirement!

@maverick967 Awesome, one hell of a smooth landing!

[@frequentairbusflyer8]

excellent footage as always! Was your dad piloting this flight?

[@trabbin8]

Nice video! There's another one on here of same bird, same approach/airport, in early 2014 3 years later. It's sort of weird watching both and thinking that there's been 3 xmases, new years, an election, etc. etc. inbetween.

[@Hakuto0505]

great video!!

[@Dexter11929]

Awesome view on the wing dude nice! ; )

[@maverick967]

@ThunderCloudMotions Thanks!

[@maverick967]

@frequentairbusflyer8 Yep, He was the Captain!

[@Flyermac]

This video made me feel what is to travel on a real 747-400 ... the one equipped with PW engines!

[@trabbin8]

It's also interesting though maybe not a common thing - that tarmac area near terminal.gate looks to 'orderly' with luggage trucks, ramp vehicles, etc. all nicely parked/lined up etc. unlike ramps at US airports which always look like a tornado went through and complete chaos. Are Japanese airports typically like this view?

[@aviation143]

oh' man ur damn lucky with the veiw ! Seriously Love it! =D

[@maverick967]

@invertballer12 The 18th!!!! Were you on this flight from MSP??

[@maverick967]

@CharLieTj 11A! Thanks!!!

[@maverick967]

I was in seat 12A. Row 25 offers good wing views if you're in 25A or 25K.

[@chiefnwa]

Coming back HND-DTW on an A332. Both my parents are from NW too.

[@chiefnwa]

Awesome! I leave HND Sunday. I assume he was with Northwest before Delta?

[@toxicnick253]

@maverick967, really? Cool! Smooth landing:)

[@kobibenzvi1234]

what seat was that ? do u think i can see outside the window from seat 25 ?

[@maverick967]

@lucy5122 Awesome!!

[@maverick967]

@toxicnick253 Yep! My dad is flying the plane in all my 747 videos!

[@rpg481]

very good landing

[@maverick967]

@frequentairbusflyer8 Thanks!

[@invertballer12]

when was this? i went to japan on the 18th and what seat?

[@CharLieTj]

wow! perfect seat, what was the seat number?

[@jonahair747]

This is Great

[@hash2all]

Eating the whole runway... Like a boss

[@505stealth]

So have you taken advantage of all the "free flying" with a relative working for an airline to all over the globe?

[@maverick967]

@ThunderCloudMotions Also Feel free to use my audio from this vid for it if thats what you want. :)

[@TiredTA]

Isn't there usually a rule at NRT that 747s have to use 16R/34L?

[@HDTokyoAviation]

Theres no such rule, they can land on that runway though when the departure traffic is not as busy as the longer one is used for takeoff operations mostly.

[@maverick967]

Are you flying back on a 777? Yep, He flew the A320 with NW.

[@toxicnick253]

was your dad flying that?

[@zszs100]

@maverick967 Does he make over $200000 dollars a year being a 747-400 pilot?

[@invertballer12]

@maverick967 Yeah i was sitting in 9D!!

[@jamster11000]

landed at runray 16L

[@beaum1cah]

japan is beautiful

[@MrCars]

I'm guessing you fly for free :p

[@maverick967]

@invertballer12 11A.
