Aviation HIGHLIGHTS: Rare & Special 4-Engine Aircraft Planespotting

[@502Aviation]

The air to air footage of the DC-6. There are no words strong enough to convey how impressive that was. The weather, the scenery, and the classic airplane all came together so perfectly. What I wouldn't give to get shots like that! 😍

Wow that was kinda cool when the IL62 threw out the reversers before the wheels hit the ground.

[@joeyjamison5772]

Yeah, that's kind of scary, actually!

[@flyerbob124]

@@joeyjamison5772 I was deadheading on a DC8 inbound to Atlanta and the pilot wanted to stay high for awhile longer so when we did start to go down he just went to idle on all 4 and opened the reversers on 2 of them. It was a fun ride🤗

[@joeyjamison5772]

@@flyerbob124 Many planes will not go into reverse thrust until the W.O.W. switch trips. Otherwise, 1 mistake and you're finished.

Some of the most beautiful, stunning, and steady aircraft videography I've seen on KZbin over the last 10-15 years! It was such a joy NOT to feel sea-sick thanks to camera vibration or poor tracking. And the detail covering each aircraft was both succinct yet detailed enough for me to go do some searching. I had no idea so many on 707 airframes had either the original engines or, on the flip side, been kitted out with some nice modern-looking engines. Just goes to show how a soundly-designed and built airframe can play the "axe head/axe handle" game for many decades, ha ha.

[@QCCatPlanes]

Like, "But it's the same axe!" kinda thing!😁

[@FRAproductions]

Thank you so much for your kind and positive feedback and comment! We really appreciate that! Very nice to see so many active 707 with old engines, the sound nails it every single time!

[@SmokeyBCN]

the 747-SP is the infrared airborne observatory SOFIA, probably the most expensive and heavily modified non-military aircraft in the world. It has a 2.5 m telescope at the back that can track on a star in the sky with pixel accuracy during bumpy flight. It started service at Pan Am as the Clipper Lindbergh. Sadly now the mission is shutdown and the plane is awaiting conversion to a museum at Pima. I flew on it 24 times and will treasure those memories for my life.

[@p.c.9714]

The choice of aircraft, the different angles, the sounds recording, the editing job, all these gave an outstanding result! 👍👍

Those were fun, especially looking at the engines of the KC135. Definitely upgraded from those first mounted in 1962. And a 60 year old airplane that looks nearly new. Kudos to the maintenance boys. Wow.

[@zabaleta66]

The gorgeous A340 must be quite rare now......simply beautiful aircraft!

[@fifi23o5]

The Red Bull DC-6 is the second to last one ever produced and has quite an interesting history. It was officially owned by JAT (Yugoslav Airlines) and served as Yugoslav presidential plane, Yugoslav AF-1, of president Tito. It was donated to Zambia together with her sister ship to serve as presidential plane of president Kenneth Kaunda. After that it served as an airliner for some time. After a few years of service it was stored on the ground untill Red Bull discovered it, bought and painstakingly restored.

[@gogolemongol5384]

Thanks a lot for this history part! Always interesting to learn the hidden life of an "historic" plane! So on this video, the plane is just "amazing of beauty"!!!

Ich weiß nicht, wie ich Ihnen dafür danken soll, dass Sie dieses faszinierende Video all dieser Flugzeuge gepostet haben. Sie haben es wieder geschafft, mein Interesse zu wecken und mich vollkommen zu entspannen, während ich es genoss, diesen Giganten der Lüfte zuzuhören und zu sitzen. (English: I do not know how to adequately thank-you for posting this mesmerizing video of all these aircraft. You have again managed to capture my interest and cause me to completely relax as I enjoyed sitting and listening to these giants of the air.) I am so sorry to be commenting so late. Life has been very distracting, and it has taken me a couple of days to view the entire post. However, I am so glad that I stuck with watching. Because of being late to comment, I’ll keep my comment short and just point out a small bit of trivia, in the event you do not know it. Apart from replacing the original engines on the modified Boeing 707’s, it is easy to detect which aircrafts have been modified with hush kits. If you compare the E-3C at @17:02 with the E-8C at @ 18:32, look at the front of the engine nacelles. The E-3C has the hush kit, because part of the modification was the removal of the auxiliary air intakes, which are present on the E-8C. From what I read, the hush kits hampered the aircraft significantly when dealing with crosswind landings and takeoffs. There were other undesirable results, but I guess that it kept someone happy with a quieter engine. Again, thank-you so much. I am anxiously awaiting your next post.

[@FRAproductions]

Thank you so much again for your kind comments and feedback! We absolutely appreciate that! No worries, we hope everything is fine and you are also fine? :) Your eye for detail is amazing, as always!

[@brianrigsby7900]

Y do planes sometimes floor it after touchdown?

[@BradfordGuy]

@@brianrigsby7900 What they are doing is using reverse thrust. They throttle down upon landing, then they deploy air spoilers on the wings. When the aircraft has settled they engage reverse thrust and run the engines up for the most power to slow the aircraft. If you watch the engines, you will see the reversers deploy as the engines ramp up. The trusters force air forward acting as brakes. If you watch at 6:00, you'll see one reverse thruster design, but these are not as powerful as the kind used on most other jet aircraft. I was surprised to see such an early deployment here.
