Iran Air B747-SP Farewell Sightseeing Flight View from the Cockpit

[@ehsan83]

Great job Sam as always, That captain masters those bottons. God damn he is fast. It's obvious that he spent his life on that plane. Iran Air 5 star

[@sushi777300]

I am to see the old beauties vanish. Iran Air took excellent care of them. I hope with their new fleet they can maintain their charisma a charm! Best of luck.

Thanks Sam Chui that was a very good video please upload full version of this video

[@dansumner8131]

What a smooth landing...

[@aminsafi1950]

The captain is so funny!! He uses so many Farsi slangs in his communications and control :D

[@yazdankhodayar]

Qasta naboshie!

[@khashiashtari2183]

Great Video (as ever) Sam. I wish I could fly in an SP once more as I did in the late 70's.

[@arooshnaqvi]

lookat that throttle stagger and the captains response when he first feels it. lovely.

[@cameron93387]

Aroosh Naqvi Three-man cockpit and We are at v1and after Yet not even one finger On that throttle! Beyond belief

[@matthieumichon8400]

Nice vid' as always, thx Sam. Interesting to see the flight engineer adjusting takeoff EPR readings across all engines. Reminds us that the FADEC software of modern engines is quite an engineering feat ;)

[@Avantime]

A lot of throttle stagger between the 4 engines. Great video.

[@JustinLHopkins]

This is great cockpit crew communication.

[@mcmmx]

Fantastic video of the flight deck, bravo!

[@fearnsey8800]

[@parham6933]

Thanks for sharing it. I enjoyed watching it. Would you have any video from a window view?

[@fernandocoliva]

muy lindo video, excelente... !!! gracias por compartir... :)

[@DavidPerdomo737]

Very nice

[@bigtaxrefund]

what does the SP mean? Special Performance or Short Plane?

[@jasoncentore1830]

Special Performance... Had same engines as 747-100, was lighter, had more fuel tanks, could literally fly 22+ hours... It is also the fastest commercial jet (exclude concord)

[@RyanZ225_PC]

Why does the fe set the thrust levers asymmetrically?

[@okhan5087]

EP-IAC was put back into service! But sadly it is unclear weather it will fly after July 2016

[@pouria1361]

do you upload the fullversion?

[@kaifofficial3629]

how take you thats video? :o they allowed you to shot everything?

[@DavidBerquist334]

nice

[@actionnews6589]

I wonder if they ever got that instrument light fixed!

[@manmani2463]

زنده باد ایران ایر

[@am1966ath]

What will Iran air replace these jet with???

[@Zeczam]

is the iran sp no more??

[@Zeczam]

***** It's actually really sad. Didn't expect them to do this as they still have sanctions on them (Iran). What will they replace them with? Really hope they take it out of retirement. Or perhaps that's me being ultra wishful

[@semsemeini7905]

Umar Shareef The DC-3.

[@lvthud]

***** Actually, she is fresh out of a C check according to Sam, she will be flying for a few more months.

[@Zeczam]

dave smith What will? The SP?

[@lvthud]

Yep

[@thomasg7255]

and yet they still continue to soldier on those magnificent, ugly, beasts! Thanks for the unique perspective.
