[@leezinke4351]

Sounds of this engines makes is very awesome.

[@PlanesAndGames732]

Now see the C-5 ones (the older ones)

[@heathbauerle2787]

@@PlanesAndGames732 I thought the Air Force converted all of its fleet to the CF6's in 2017?

[@american101]

Amazing!!! I didn't think the 747Sp was flying anymore.

[@davidca96]

I think Iran Air and NASA have the only flyable SP's left on Earth.

[@PlanesAndGames732]

@PETpet Tau Hann I think Las Vegas Sands as well, not sure tho

That JT9D Sound! Great Video!

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

The buzz from 0:56 onwards reminds me of the 707 JT3Ds.

[@kawanchiraguna4381]

I took this same plane from Bangkok to Tehran. I thought the cabin was pretty large and the ceiling was pretty high....quite a visual comfort. I love everything in this clip, but your landing part from 8.25 till the end is the best. The land is sooo vast. And yes crossing the streeets in Iran for me was quite an experience.

[@Michael.Chapman]

What a superb aircraft-the fastest, highest flying, lowest drag version of the 747 built, love the SP.

[@manmani2463]

بسیار عالی دست شما درد نکند از ویدئو قشنگی که گذاشتید thank you

[@dm497]

I love this engine sound

[@Blurr1d0.]

This is my favourite 747.

[@freddyhoyt1849]

When I worked for Pan Am I flew on the 747sp it’s a great plane ✈️

[@ImranHussain-hk7gt]

What a sound those Pratt and witneys make

[@mossmok2683]

what a beautiful landing that was.. BIG like

[@Set_Get]

once i flew to Frankfourt with IranAir several years ago. it was a snowy winter day.nobody noticed that aircraft had landed until the last second when a soft brake was applied. suddenly, passengers started clapping for the pilot.

[@HDAviationVideos]

Great video!

[@Chefsalat76]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@derekwall200]

+Loran I take it you flew in the 1st class cabin of this magnificent beast?

[@Chefsalat76]

Yes, Homa class to be precise. Not sure if its meant to be 1st or biz though.

[@derekwall200]

Loran that is 1st class I'm %100 sure of it they wouldn't have a table like that in business class although luxuries vary in both classes

[@davidca96]

that plane is glorious

[@robertbalboni3797]

great views during flight on board a classic jetliner! rob.

[@Honest300Al]

You do get to fly on some great planes. Have been a sub for a couple of years and really enjoy your work.

Boeing 747sp is my farvorite aircraft

[@asasmith2696]

The JT9D's are the best looking and best sounding Pratt & Whitney engines known to man.

[@N125AS]

Beautiful video ! +1

[@Potra1001]

I had a good experience from Stockholm to Tehran by Iran Air long time ago.

[@radhit8633]

with 747SP?

[@YaseenGabbany897]

Its sound like a330 with Trent 700 engines!

[@DomoniqueMusiclover]

Amazing

[@Kudlaty771]

the pilot seemed like he almost didnt want to set the aircraft down lol

[@winsonhuang20]

Amazing takeoff ! :) :) :)

[@farshidfaridi7539]

[@UserZenonButShorter]

Sounds like a330

[@iuvcalls8565]

This is not only much better, but completely different sounding from an A330.

😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rickybrown5817]

bye bye very old boeing 747 100 retired

[@jayz4evr]

damn you are brave lol i wouldn't risk my life flying on this aircraft and im iranian myself

[@Chefsalat76]

+alextb10 You should have more faith in your engineers, they are doing a great job ;) Iran Air is totally safe, my only worry in Tehran is safely crossing a major street, this is definitely a life-risking task...

[@jayz4evr]

Loran true we do have some pretty good engineers and pilots but they can only help to a point and some things are just out of their hands and i just cant trust these old planes . lets just hope they lift the sanctions completely so we have safer planes flying around . oh and btw crossing a major street or even highways in iran is an easy task for a lot of us persians because we're used to it but its definitely frightening for foreigners haha

[@GilZu]

+alextb10 I would pay extra to fly in old plane (: buy this is just me

[@grl2675]

The 747SP is an extremely well built aircraft. Moreover, Iran Air has a lot of experience flying and maintain them. In fact, it was the second airline to order SP's after Pan Am. The original intention was to connect Tehran and New York, then the longest non-stop airline flight in the world.

[@kawanchiraguna4381]

+alextb10 I can understand your concern. I was feeling a bit worried too. However the flights I took were smooth. I flew from Tehran to Esfahan in a smaller plane, quite aged as well..I cant remember the model...u know it was quite a great experience.
