I hope that the very last 747-200 to commercially fly will be kept and displayed as a permanent memorial to one of the greatest aircraft of all-time.

[@tiadaid]

There are plenty of 747-100/-200 on display to be honest. You have 747-200s from Qantas, South African Airways, Lufthansa, & KLM, among others. Not to mention the prototype 747 is on display at the Museum of Flight in Seattle (I've been on it and it was beautiful). Sure another 747-200 preserved is nice, but given the costs, I doubt we'll see it in reality.

[@Planetrainguy]

@@tiadaid There is a 747-200 that has been converted into a hotel as well. There are also many more 747-100's preserved like the shuttle carrier and evergreen tanker

Superb to see this ex-British Airways B747-236B flying with nearly 37 years of safe service :-) She still flies most days and can be followed on Flightradar24. Those earlier Royce RB211 turbofans, developed for the L1011 Tristar, look excellent on the 747 and the crew obviously enjoy the privilege of flying one of the last active B747-Classics. In the early 1980s I flew on BA's 236Bs several times, Sydney to London and return, with stops in Bahrain and Singapore :-)

[@donaldknowles9640]

I agree , the RB211 is a awesome engine on any aircraft , be it the 747 , 757 , 767 or L1011, great video

[@Michael.Chapman]

@@donaldknowles9640 agree :-) I understand that pilots consider the RB211 equipped 757 quite the performer! In past times, when United or Delta flew the 747-400 trans-Pacific to Sydney, they would unload, then fly to Melbourne to pick-up passengers etc. I looked forward to seeing those short 1 hour flights on FlightRadar. On departure from Sydney the B747 would climb at rates over 5000 fpm as they were underweight-respect to those aircraft too-they used P&W or GE engines.

[@donaldknowles9640]

@@Michael.Chapman yes , the RB 211 powered 757 is a hot rod of single isle aircraft

[@Viking88Power]

Great engine

[@mggordon]

I have seen dozens of 747 videos but this is the first one where I actually saw the tiller in action. I was fascinated watching it during the turnaround at the end of the runway, I had no idea that it could move so much.

[@sandybanjo]

Ah, the FE!!!!!! Awesome! I served as a B727 Engineer for Braniff 2 and UAL. Retired Captain at UAL......being a second officer was such a great learning experience, but a little more work for the PIC. The ole "shoulder view" of the panel......my!!!! How we're spoiled now days!!!!! The FE is reading the checklists, among other tasks........we used to say for the F/O on the 727....."Pitot heat, what's to eat?"

[@patrickbaker2802]

i like the round guage instrument panel, where the pilot has to take the inputs and run them through his head to make coordinated flight happen. Enjoyed seeing the flight engineer at his position . Has been a long time since i observed the flight engineer at work at his station.

[@NoewerrATall]

"V1" "Go!" Great plane, great crew, great video! The left seat captain reminds me of the actor Sean Connery.

[@manifestgtr]

Those RB211s are timeless, man…every time I hear a particular rumble go over my house, I open flightradar and sure enough, it’ll be a 757. It took me a minute to realize the FO was an instructor. First, the captain adamantly turned off his mobile phone and I thought “heh, he knows he’s on camera”, then the FO was giving instruction at the end of their back taxi and it pretty much clicked…confirmed when he came out with it during cruise. The captain must be a new upgrade or something along those lines. That just adds an extra element of cool to a video like this.

[@xyzaero]

That is the only civilian jet I still HAVE to fly !!!!!! A classic 747 with modern FMS and moving map and everything else still original ❤❤

[@johnduffy5448]

The great thing about all Classic 747s is they still have a Flight Engineer. It's ashame that the FE and shots of his panel were not included in this video.

[@Roboseal2]

I recently saw an old JT9D at a P&W museum and had to come to this video to hear it’s competition

[@thematrixwillfindyou]

This one has the first generation RR RB211 , that equipped the Lockheed TriStar .

[@عمر-ص5ت6ح]

Was that just him taxing with parking brake on ?

[@edwardlack2578]

I noticed on take off engine 2 was set to higher thrust than the others. Was this deliberate, and does anyone know why this would be the case?

[@kallek5655]

It's not that the engine was set to a higher thrust, but rather the thrust lever had to be advanced more to achive it. Those were the pre-EEC days, where slight differences of the engines (and I belive also the control cables) resulted in having the thrust levers staggered. In this case it's only one, but sometimes they were all different. Nowadays EEC takes care of that.
