That bird is in absolutely pristine conditions regardless of her age

[@formatogrande397]

one of the best crews ive seen, the captains and FE were old skool friendly and so accomodating to Patrick. Among the top 3 film in the AirClips portfolio ..well done AirClips

[@AirClipscom]

Thank you so much!!! Can only agree with your statement on the Crew! Which are your other AIRCLIPS favorites? Cheers, Patrick

[@khokhar9856]

Apart from seeing 747 it’s even nicer to see such a humble pilots and flight engineer. RESPECT wish you success everyone.

[@teimurazmuzashvili4397]

Great crew, great people and professionals! Tornike is one of the nicest and humblest persons, captains and CEOs I have ever met.

[@arilebon]

The captain/CEO has excellent leadership and human relations skills. It was a pure pleasure to watch every aspect of this video.

[@scottcol23]

That 747-200 (4L-GEN) was purchased new 3/17/1987 and flew for British Airways for 15 years, In 2002 she was purchased by Air Atlanta Islandic who flew her for 4 years in their livery then in 2006 she was Leased to Malaysian Airways and they operated her for 5 years, then returned to Air Atlanta Islandic in 2011 until Geo acquired her in 2019.

[@scottcol23]

Its so cool seeing the Flight Engineer panels. To think all that was replaced by a computer. Thank you for the awesome flight! Very professional flight crew. I love seeing these old birds still doing their thing.

[@flightsimmer9809]

this has got to be one of the best videos you have done this crew and CEO are just incredible if the CEO reads this what a credit you are to your airline amazing!!!!!

[@danielbonilla3195]

What a pleasure to see that old bird flying, personally my grandfather flew the Boeing 747-100 and 747-200 on Avianca for 10 years, he sadly passed away on march, he would have loved to see this video

[@AirClipscom]

Sorry to hear! Sadly I got a couple of passed friends up there too. For sure my films are watched there too…

[@MATHIEUTECHNO1]

Amazing 747 Classic, The crew is awesome. Safe Flight with The Queen Of Skies

[@dhakaboy1]

This is one of those rare 747-200 cockpits. Back in the days, BA retrofitted a couple of their 747s with FMS and an EHSI display with radar and Nav display. Still,had the triple Litton 92 INS.s though. Love this cockpit upgrade.

[@kletern]

Quite THE crew. Hats off! Great chemistry between these guys.

[@archstanton9206]

Incredible, professional crew who take pride in their work. The CEO has the secret...take care of his people who take care of their aircraft and the aircraft will take care of them...and they can serve their customers and the company will prosper.

[@geniusachoice]

Beautiful production. Very pleasing lovable crew members. Wish them and their company a great 2022.

[@enestunc521]

Every journey is different beautiful people, different planes, different locations but the same feelings, the same professionalism is literally perfect. But this team was really friendly. Thank you so much Air-Clips.

[@Noex63]

GEO SKY... what a classy outfit, so very professional... Chief Pilot and CEO is a handsome team leader for sure and the old 747-200 what a super smooth landing!

[@buskerTamsui]

The crew are so kind to viewers. Thanks Airclips and the Captain.

[@xav8tr974]

I've just discovered this channel and video on my feed - and I must say that I'm completely blown away by the quality, clarity and attention to detail of this production and also by enthusiasm of both the presenter Patrick and the GeoSky crew of this magnificent Classic Queen of the Skies. Bravo to all !

[@PA28-181]

Patrick….this video captures great story telling rhythms as well as visuals. What wonderful production values. Lot’s of warmth and charm comes with this crew. I compliment you especially since I have been 50 years in the Hollywood film business. Keep it up.

[@ahmadzahid266]

2 hours of amazing video and lovely captains and the aircraft when i saw the wings with Rolls Royce engines, i remember back more than 13 years when i flown the 747 classic operated by saudia, the engine’s sound still I remember clearly , I’ll miss the classic 747s with many memories

[@ChrisWakeford]

Brilliant......What a classic crew.11/10

[@Bananassking]

Wow!….absolutely love this!!…the plane!…the crew!….and the very down to earth educated captain that knows EXACTLY what he’s doing!!…in EVERY aspect!!….I just say wow!!🤗🤗

[@Edelweis_88]

[@tonybavdek9985]

Great job Patrick, with all those cameras, one can see everything that is going on. This is the best video made of a B747 Classic from start to finish. Thank you for making the video and a special thanks to the crew and airline for making it happen.

[@NF1312]

Very symphatical crew and most fascinating Captain and CEO.

[@ryansimpson4781]

That's one Clean 747....

[@andylee4046]

the aircraft looks in superb condition, a credit to the airline and its crew.

[@AirClipscom]

yeaah the engeneering just did a amzing work and kept this one in good condition

[@TheSupradude26]

While I haven’t flown too often in my lifetime, maybe around 20 round trips total, I have had the awesome opportunity to fly in the best plane ever built, the 747 4 times. 3 of them were when I was young and we were flying to Minnesota from Seattle and back, sitting in coach class, but my flying highlight was a trip that myself and 3 friends took right after we all graduated high school in 1994. We flew from Seattle to Japan for a 2 month trip. Our flight took us from Seattle to Portland on a 737, then the long trip from Portland to Tokyo’s Narita airport on a MD-11. We had a long layover in Tokyo of about 5 hours before our flight to Osaka, who had yet to have the man made island international airport built which is why we had to fly into Tokyo. Anyway, our short flight in Japan was on a ANA 747, but not just any 747, it was the short version. There were a bunch of them at both airports in Japan when we were there, which was a surprise as I had never seen one before which surprised me living only a few miles from the Boeing plant where all the 747’s were built. The best part was that when we boarded the plane the flight attendant directed us upstairs, and for some reason the 4 of us were among just a total of 6 people who rode in the upstairs first class. We have no idea how or why the airline put us up there, we certainly didn’t pay for it, but being 6’6” tall it certainly was nice to have so much leg room that I couldn’t even touch the seat in front of me with my feet. It was at least 8’ away. If only our 11 hour flight was on that plane rather than the 45 minute flight haha. They had a camera on the front gear of the plane which they had displaying on the movie screen during takeoff and landing which was awesome as well. I can definitely see why people who can easily afford it pay extra for first class. I’ll never forget my short trip on the upper level of the great 747.

[@pilotthomas144]

I think I’ve found my new idol here. 1) B747 captain 2) B747-200 pilot 3) CEO to an airline operating B747 4) CEO to an airline operating B747-200 5) Also flying helicopters This -200 looks like brand new, it’s amazing! This guy is super passionated, probably realised his dream, he’s not “just” pilot but have also created his airline… and which one is operating 747, and not new 747, but the mighty -200… Simply incredible. Congratulation. And amazing video too! (Like always, never disappointed) These 2h and 20min were like 5minutes. Such a pleasure, what a nice crew! Simply Impressed. (Yeah I repeat myself)

[@naes6843]

Mr. Air-clips, your videos are just the best, and at my 77 years old I sure appreciate how complete your videos are. Dave in Phoenix Arizona

[@AirClipscom]

Love your comments, Dave - much appreciated!! All the best, Patrick

[@low_flying_aircraft9309]

I worked with Georgians in Afghanistan. Great people!

[@kendallcarlile6133]

RB211 windmilling 😍. This plane is in MINT condition!

[@Mirachero]

what a nice and professional flight engineer

[@kevinlapthorn765]

Fantastic job Patrick, as always. Loved the friendly crew and seeing the 747-200 in action.

[@richardhunt304]

How wonderful to see all those old dials on this aircraft.!!

[@floundergearjam]

Excellent! This crew really seems to have it together. Captain seems to really know his stuff.

[@reginaadams7931]

AIRCLIPS, AMAZING AS ALWAYS! LOVE THE CREW!!!

[@fredispaz624]

Thank you Air-Clips, thank you Patrick and many, many thanks to the Geo Sky team for making this absolute amazing video with the Queen of the Skies . Loved every second of it! Congratz!

[@ml66b]

That was an excellent display from a friendly and totally professional crew. Thank you!

[@bomb8406]

That RB211 Growl on Take Off never gets old

[@jrweiss77]

Have been flying for 65 years...general aviation and airlines...this was spectacular!...excellent operation and crew...thanks!

[@ferenckandi2407]

How absolutely amazing to see the professionality and dedication of the Georgians, and respect for their incredible commitment to the safety and operation of the planes!

[@Tomasso2009]

That sound that Igor makes right before Starter Cutout )))

[@kevinweinberger8446]

Thank you for this great view from the cockpit and a window into the life’s of these men!! I have noticed that this 747 has the old gauges as instruments. The modern aircraft has all electronic types, which did eliminate the need for a flying t engineer. That was the price for innovation I guess. Bravo to your hard work in presenting us this video!

[@sharoncassell9358]

That's why there is a FE on this plane.

[@Michael.Chapman]

Wonderful to see a BA RB-211 equipped 747-236 still so active, healthy and good looking :-) ... not to mention watching in detail this awesome three man crew fly her in 2021! Interesting the technique used by the PIC as he deploys and deactivates the reversers, first closing the outboards then later the inboard units. Thank you Patrick, your multi camera angles do justice to this unique experience.

[@jayteeaitch]

Gosh - I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed this and it moved me to place a lead on the Orbyx forum with these comments I just came across a u tube video of a piece of history - the only one still flying commercially. The video is a story of a Boeing 747 - 200 - which is the aircraft that I spent 100s of hours flying around the World between 71 and 82 mainly on Qantas - on a Business - that was allied to the aviation industry. I often spent some time in the jump seat because I knew a few skippers - and I notice that the a/c still has 4 windows in the nose that was part of FC and the 4th window was almost always my choice of seat - 2A. Although this is now a freighter - the cockpit is still almost identical - and still has a Flight Engineer Although it will be for P3D - I cannot but be more patient for the release of this Oldie - by Just Flight - and even it means that I will still use P3D for some time to come - re-flying my 747 200 travel logbook of the 70s - and meantime - trying out the one in MSFS

[@Tom-kw6km]

This was the BEST video depicting how a three-man crew works together on the classic 747. Thank you to the owner and crew for bringing all of us, from every nation, along for the flight and for being so professional.

[@Aerobix]

This is so extremely useful for X-Plane and the Felis 747-200 which I highly suggest buying. It is really amazing how demading it is to fly compared to the 800 series or 400.

[@AirClipscom]

Couldn't agree more!

[@johnstephens8303]

Great video, probably the best I have seen involving cockpit videos. A very enjoyable 2.40 hours with a great crew who really made this video. Thanks Air-Clips and Patrick, very informative and entertaining.

[@alfwedarf7764]

That was an amazing piece of filmwork, so nice to see an 80's 747 still flying.

[@daapz]

This was probably your best work so far. It was very interesting to see all the steps the flight engineer had to do compared to how in -400 the pilots just instruct the computer to start up the engines and stuff. So much manual work to watch after all the systems!

[@AirClipscom]

Thanks a lot daapz!!!

[@geoffb884]

What a beautiful aeroplane! The condition of this machine is a credit to the company!

[@ghl3488]

Such fantastic experience, they were right when they said it is a family. The youngest 747 captain in the world. Must be great, great friens and it must be an amazing experience to work together. The flight engineer is obviously as experienced, what a team. Very comprehensive briefings and I do not think it is just for the cameras! Fantastic video. regards from Wales

[@sharoncassell9358]

Interesting trip

[@sharoncassell9358]

No. They seem sincere & genuine. Great.

[@Kubotahonda5]

Amazing super professional crew ✈️👨‍✈️👨‍✈️👨‍✈️🎛🎚🎛 flight engineer definitely loves his job and don’t forget the first officer is looks like a bit from the movie Midnight Express and the captain 👨‍✈️ is of course from the Al-pachino movie Carlitos

[@Doctor_Flight]

Thanks for this amazing work it's always nice to be in a 747-200 classic cockpit

[@sweens06]

This airline also flew former N631US/N631NW, Boeing 747-200 delivered new to Northwest Airlines in 1984. It's still flying to this day with a cargo airline in Kyrgyzstan, after a stint with Kalitta, and GeoSky. Great to see them take care of these old birds and happy to see a few still flying proudly!

[@GouravDas-sc3wn]

As always for Air clips it is best Videography. Having seen queen still flying is a joy for me

[@novo6462]

Fantastic video of a classic bird! When I was about 8 years old in 1996, we flew from Heathrow to San Francisco on a BA 747-200 and in the cruise I visited the cockpit with my brother, I sat in the flight engineer's seat and remember looking at those huge 4 engine throttles! There a tiny chance this is the same plane, but hey its still a -200 variant which is cool. Hope they keep flying it for years to come.

[@AirClipscom]

That sounds like some awesome memories, really nice that they allowed you to sit on the seat and look around the cockpit. I hope I was able to catch the same plane you talked about in thisvideos :)

[@skyaerops]

Absolutely amazing video ! A big thank you to Air Clips (Patrick) and the Geo SKY crew & top management team. I was amazed to see this good old -200 in such an excellent shape ! Furthermore, seeing these CEO and vice-president acting as pilots in operation, in direct contact with reality, and with such an humble and sympathetic spirit, is just awesome (and very rare...) For me as a 747 enthusiast, I had an excellent time watching this video, like enjoying a glass of good old finest wines, or savoring a sweet candy... A great moment of fun indeed, thanks again !

[@misskitty2133]

That was awesome! I really like those guys. All so amicable, genuinely friendly. No snobbiest there! Merry Christmas guys and best wishes for a blessed & joyous 2022

[@mikevickers1391]

What an amazing professional operation...very impressed. And that 747-200 is just like new, must have been operated from new by airlines that really ace about maintenance.

[@margaretroselle8610]

Watching from New Zealand and loving every minute! Thank you so much. This is a great aircraft.

[@rtn99]

What a pleasure to return seeing a Classic 7-4 in operation. Lots of memories here. Thank You!!

[@pierrecurie5188]

Incredible job, guys. Thank you for sharing.

[@andreweyden9832]

What a professional and outstanding crew. 👍👍

[@Leonardosouza-zf6gn]

THE NEWEST 742 I´VE EVER SEEN MY LIFE SINCE 90´S

[@AirClipscom]

was hard to find this one 😉

[@Lew747]

Stunning looking aircraft. The classic -100’s and 200’s are in my opinion the best looking.

[@brianhook8655]

A great insight into the classic 747 greetings from New Zealand

[@lklpalka]

"... Clock shop" ... Love it! Amazing technology still. What a gracious captain and v.p. , Flight Engineer and crew... Nice to see pros in action behind the scenes. Your videos are total immersion for the viewer. Wishing you and the company well!

[@SamuelTaylorAckroyd]

This is gonna be epic! Edited after movie premiere: This was epic like I thought it was going to be! The crew were friendly, the trip seemed enjoyable and the fact that this was on a 747 makes it so much better than lots of other trips people make!

[@endaburke1981]

Best video yet.

[@kashfiqbal]

Awesome to see one of the last 747-200s in the world flying for such a professional carrier

[@ChrisWakeford]

Was G-BDXN at BA way back...

[@cjmillsnun]

The sister is the aircraft that was originally G-BDXM

[@jaylipod]

What a crew, amazing !!

[@ivopiscevic]

not often commenting but I am a long time supporter of the channel. Thank you Patrick for your time and dedication to bring out the best of all of those incredible experiences you're lucky to live. Also, being somehow of a videographer myself I can only but admire the planning and scenario briefing that must go before each video with all those cameras ! Post-prod time also ! Again thanks and keep it going. Cheers from Belgium

[@andimuhjafar]

Amazing, can't wait the premier.

[@juancarlosdominguez5636]

Amazing! Nice and professional crew, especially Igor.

Glad you enjoyed it Salah. The flight enginner was one of the most kindfull people I ever met :)

[@N1611n]

One of the best aviation clips I've ever watched and, what a fantastic crew. Thank you so much Airclips.

[@mohammedfadol6356]

it's like watching a microsoft simulator landing and taxing, very impressive

[@slartybarfastb3648]

Beautiful airplane! She truly looks like she rolled out of the factory yesterday. What a great plane

[@scottbrandon6244]

Look at 23:21. This brings back fond memories. Older Boeing 747 planes had flight engineers (second officers). L-1011, A300, Boeing 707, 727, DC-8, and DC-10 also had engineer panels in the cockpit. The biggest panel was the Concorde. The flight engineer earned his money on those flights.

[@katongonsofu8949]

Amazing crew. The cockpit relationship simply mwaaa! I like the way the Captain in command seems to appreciate the input and influence of his former instructor (on his career) but in this case his co-pilot.

[@AirClipscom]

seeing them work like this is truly a pleasure sometimes they understand each other witch out talking.

[@thesimulatorgamer7627]

Oh yes, the film with the B747-200 can only be awesome.

[@Meirele]

Very nice clip. Thank you all for it.

[@merin797]

Ok, that flight engineer, Igor? Wow.🔥

[@boblogan4695]

Awesome. Cool friendly crew and expertly filmed.

[@kaefermichaify]

One of the best Videos of your Series. Great!

[@AirClipscom]

Thanks! 😃

[@charangohabsburg1]

What an amazing and charming crew! Keep that 747-200 in the air as many years more as possible, it is a world cultural heritage.

[@jeritilley]

A great video and a well-run and motivated company. They deserve to do well. Interesting to hear how the classic 747s are in some ways better than the later versions and that they are by no means a dinosaur now. Long live the Queen of the Skies. Jerry

[@satreaaji]

25:50 that's panel is awesome

[@briancoughlin5027]

Amazing ,Aircraft !Amazing Crew!! It would be a pleasure to work for this airline,they have their priorities straight . May they fly forever.

[@mark46ification]

Very nice airclip...the plane looks like a brand new...excellent maintenance

[@jimsteinway695]

Really impressed on how long the Russian pilots hand flew the aircraft. Many pilots outside the US overuse the Autopilot. These guys are real pros.

[@mimonls1542]

nice videos , Great crew :) thanks for your job Patrick
