Goodbye to Virgin Atlantic B747's - Queen of the Skies Tribute

[@thinkaviation2231]

This is truly heartbreaking. Godspeed to them all... the flying ladies are gone but never forgotten.

[@btjonny5]

The flying lady has been replaced by the flying trans, black and gay person.

[@barrycoomer8137]

Manchester will be a less appealing place without these beautiful big birds. And to think that we took these for granted. I was always so proud, sat at some American airport waiting to be taken home and one of these showed up in amongst the ‘sameness’ of the twin engines planes. Won’t be the same without them. Desperately sad.

Stunning video guys, and a very fitting tribute to an iconic plane ✈️

[@rromancunard]

Part of the history of our lives and of the contemporary era is disappearing in our eyes. Only good memories.

[@JelmersAviation]

Beautiful tribute man! So sad to see her go!

[@medimarkovics5345]

The most beautiful girl ever built

[@judelord2478]

Had so many childhood memories on this beast

[@jofereday7213]

So sad, flown Jersey Girl, Ruby Tuesday & Barbarella, all Manchester to Vegas, best takeoff experience ever, goodbye old girls, you’ll be very missed 😢😢

I do miss seating upstairs in the 747-400s. Great airc raft to fly on!!! Simply great!!!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Yes, typing to fast sometimes. Yes, this aircraft- one word together I'd better. Thanks.

Fabulous,my ex-wife and I took our kids to Florida back in 2003, and it was our first experience of virgin Atlantic. Great flights and fabulous holiday. Pity about the ex wife lol!

[@NYCPlanespotting]

Lovely shots of these Virgin Atlantic 747s - definitely sad to see them go, but lucky that you were able to film them so many times! :)

[@MrFlashjet]

OUTSTANDING TRIBUTE! Love It!

[@claudehylton1304]

Such lovely crew, 747s fantastic. Love travelling on this. Wey we a go do now😢

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

Amazing tribute pal. So sad to see them go

[@ingridvanmieghem7178]

Vind het een fantastisch vliegtuig, spijtig dat ik het nooit echt van dichtbij heb kunnen zien, dat is mijn grootste wens nog dat ik het kan zien en er mee vliegen.

[@oceanicarchitecture6423]

So many good memories! My first ever 747 flight was with Virgin Atlantic. Flown on their 747s 3 times. Hopefully BA won't retire their 747s. BA is the sole surviving UK airline with the 747.

[@rajnirvan3336]

I say the same. I hope they can keep their word and honour it until 2024. I hope they fly again back in the skies where they belong. Flew on both BA & Virgin 747 loved it

[@GregLloyd76]

@@rajnirvan3336 Same here. I've flown on both BA and Virgin 747's. WIth BA I've flown upstairs in the hump both times. Absolutely loved it. Very sad to see the 747 being phased out. It's one of those iconic aircraft that we don't like to see go away forever.

[@rajnirvan3336]

@@GregLloyd76 Exactly sad feeling. Was glad I came back from Miami last year on BA 747 probably the last time

[@moxymagic]

Very sad times, loved getting up close to the Queens at Manchester

[@bradleyhulse1579]

i have flew on many of virgins 747 was ment to fly on another 1 at the end of the year from Manchester so hopefully i will get on a 787 or a350

Nice video! I loved seeing the Queen of the skies at Manchester. Amazing

[@cjrbchaz1796]

You certainly dont get much closer than that. Really nice views of Virgin 747s and the sound is great! Really well filmed.

[@nurseboni2798]

She's so beautiful! A real Queen Airplane!👑

[@HDMelbourneAviation]

Absolutely terrible news, but great to see you got some outstanding footage of them at MAN while you could. I sent you guys an email, hope to hear back from you soon :D

[@MG-xx5ph]

I'll miss travelling in the bubble. Hard to believe this has all happened in the space of a few months.

The boeing 747 ...the world first wide body jet plane since 1969...Sadly...seeing these planes one by one gone...it's a historical iconic aviation N a famous big wide jet in the 80's. B 747 - 8 is the last model...I love that plane... B 747 ..lovely planes that we won't see them flying anymore :(

[@linamartone9950]

Stupendo , stupendo , stupendo....♥️🇮🇹

[@rajnirvan3336]

Sad end to what Virgin Atlantic was the Boeing 747 (All Variants). Be strange not seeing a Virgin plane with 4 engines just won't be the same as it began. I was happy to fly in 2012 Gatwick to Las Vegas on Pretty Woman & returned on Hot Lips. I'll got few 1/400 scale Gemini Jet die casts which I will keep forever.

[@skielahjayne2659]

Raj Nirvan awww I travelled on Hot Lips a few times too 😭

[@sandycannon270]

I travelled on Tinkerbell, Jersey Girl, English Rose, Pretty Woman, Hot Lips, Calypso something or the other, over the years in and out of Gatwick. This past Christmas we came into LGW on The Falcon. Heartbreaking. My absolute fav airline has to retire my fav Queen (after The Concorde of course). 😔😔😔😔

[@harleyrobertson5646]

Very sad day for aviation 😢

[@johnentwhistlesurelysamsun1840]

It is sad to see a liot of 747's retired, and some sent to be scrapped but i remember when BA scrapped its trident aircraft at Heathrow and used JCB's on them to break them up and i found that rather painful at the time, a friend of mine a great aviation enthusiast bought part of a Dan air comet in to my workplace a remnant of it, that had of course had the excavator treatment and was very heavy to hold just that small section!!

[@blondel8408]

I’ll miss her

[@seClip9]

Great video. Sadly due to COVID-19 which has impacted Aviation Industry financially, they have sent those 747 aircraft off to retirement. Everything is going to be different following those changes at every airlines (not just Virigin Atlantic) as other older and inefficient aircraft are retired early.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

So cute. The big wide bodies tale off. Nice.

[@AviationRailAdventures]

It will be weird not to see these at MAN anymore 😨

[@markgarrett8814]

What a beauty.

[@Dan-78]

We flew g-vast a few times to Orlando, beautiful planes, we’ve just flown the new ish virgin neo, lovely but still prefer 747

[@MB-bj1mq]

Already miss you 😭😭😭 i wish I could have saved you real tears crying

[@Daniel-fx1yz]

G-VROS will always hold a special place in my heart 😔❤️💔

[@celinediontribute3932]

Does this mean that the A350-1000 will start operating here as they are replacing the 747-400's? Plus. I saw the 747-400 (twice and A340-600 from Virgin Atlantic just 2 months before lockdown. I got pictures of them so I can forever remember these great aircraft

[@J.T.J8618]

Anyone no what they will be operating on the Manchester - Orlando route now they have retired the 747-400

[@joshuaanderson2983]

If they are surviving after coronavirus pandemic, I would imagine they would use either A330-300, A330-200 or possibly B787. But not sure yet

[@J.T.J8618]

Joshua Anderson I heard that they are swapping the 747s with a350s but I don’t recon this will happen straight away so I think they will be using the a330
