The 747 - 100 had a different livery since it was used to test the thrust power of the GE90, the engines that were used on the 777. It was vey powerful, in fact the 747 could fly with only one of those engines!

[@carljennings924]

I work at Heathrow Airport(LHR) as a pushback driver. I work for a company called Dnata, it was great to see the Cathay Pacific and ANA Airplanes, as I work on those contracts. I have been there 27 years, and had the pleasure of watching Concorde take off and land daily, wow what a noise. Thank you for the video it was a pleasure to watch it.

[@ice711real]

Incredible! Thanks for watching mate.

[@alexwhitton1]

What a cool museum, maybe I'll go when I do my road trip across the states

[@Delta_NWAB747fan]

I’ve been here before. 2018 to be exact. I tried to get a private tour of Pinal Airpark (between here and Phoenix) like I’d seen many videos of people doing online. However, I was disappointed there wasn’t any tours available that day. I was trying to see Delta’s 747-400s before scrapping (retired the year before) and stuff like the TWA 747-100, 747-300s, and some Northwest 747s & DC-10s. Luck was on my side as the plane I was looking for was parked at the gate next to the parking lot (pfp). Incredibly, in the best luck I’ve ever had, I met a retired Northwest and Delta Pilot who flew one of the 747s stored there as his retirement flight. He had made his final flight a year before in 2017 and coincidentally took the same flight and decided the time I was there to look at the last bird he used to fly with his family. I don’t think I’ll ever have that luck again! We got to talking and he recommended Pima Air & Space Museum where he was going next. Safe to say it was amazing. Truly a rememberable day for me! Still some amazing aircraft here and turned out better even though I missed out on some rare classics. Hard to believe it’s already been 6 years since I was here! Thanks for the video!

[@ice711real]

How incredible! Thanks for watching mate.

[@someone.7303]

I was there like 3.5 years ago. it's right off the i-10 freeway in tucson and the air force base located a bit north from the museum is pretty active, despite it being the place where most of these planes land for the last time. Anyways super cool!

Very cool Sikorsky S-43 (labeled US Marines) in the background at 8:20. Last time I was there it was in bad shape and missing a wheel. Only 3 left and too bad this one is left out in the sun. Kermit Weeks has Howard's at his museum in Florida.

But I drove over to the pima air and space museum the night they closed Valencia road to tow this across the street into the museum. If you are ever in Tucson, you should definitely check out the Pima air and Space Museum, its amazing

[@Major-Kong]

The B-52 you showed first is a B-52G, it is not powered by 8 TF-33's it is powered by 8 Pratt & Whitney J57-P-43WB engines, they went to the TF-33 in the B-52H for more power, better fuel economy and greater payload. these were all retired in the mid 90's, the B-52H is now getting the TF-33's replaced by R&R F130 engines. We have a Connie here in on the East Coast of Australia, at the HARS Museum in Illawarra, it actually still occasionally flies also.

You should go visit the Museum of Flight in Seattle, WA. It’s located right next to the Boeing Field and there is a British Airways Concorde on display. It’s a nice place, went there back in 2017 way before I started this channel. They also sell models but they are quite pricy compared to other retail stores.

That plane was completely overhauled and was close to flyable condition, but when the Air Force found out about the intentions for it to fly again they seized the engines and took the plane apart and sent it to where it is now.

[@williamhudson4938]

@@hubriswonk Not quite. It sat in pieces for years at Air Force Plant #4 where it was originally built on the west side of Fort Worth, Texas. It's the home of B-24, B-32, B36, B-58, F-111, F-16 and now the F-35. I had the fortune of building the F-16 there for 37 years. And just as an aside, the B-52 is no where near as big as the B-36. The B-36 wingspan is 45 feet longer than the BUFF. I worked on that D model B-52 in the museum when I was stationed at Carswell AFB. The B-52 on which you commented about engines is actually a B-52G, which had P&W J57 engines, NOT TF-33s.

@williamhudson4938 very interesting and thanks for your response! I was told they were making it flightworthy again and the USAF got really upset and took the plane to Prima.
