KLM 747-400 - Powerful Evening Takeoff from Amsterdam

AMS-JFK. A dusk takeoff out of Amsterdam. Love the 747 jumbo and thse GE egnines. They make a great sound. While KLM's 747s may not be the most high-tech (small screens, no plugs/USB ports), it's worth it to fly them while they last.
We hit some good turbulence while over the ocean. Great view of the cloud covered ground.

The B747 is and will be forever the QUEEN OF THE SKIES!!! BOTH thumbs UP for this awesome plane!!!

[@abecoulter18]

zerberus500 what about the A380. It's bigger

[@baconcorde9970]

Abe Coulter But it’s ugly as hell.

[@carljhonson4088]

Wow the fabulous Boeing B747 has always been my favorite.

[@flybyw1re123]

its a real shame they retired these things. It was never a boring sight seeing the queen of the skies

[@TheFejfAviation]

Agreed!

[@Michael.Chapman]

Magnificent! Looks like KLM starts engines in pairs, 4 and 3, followed by 2 and 1… which the -400 can do. I love the initial gravitational wing droop, the nacelle wobble beginning at 12:08, those sophisticated complex flaps, the GE CF6’s sound regime… Nothing can really live up to the technical beauty of the 747, an airplane that has more in common with drawing boards and slide rules than CAD :-)

[@reubenmorris487]

-8 can also perform dual-engine starts. The aux tanks outboard of engines 1 and 4 are normally fueled to max capacity and burned last.

[@Guerry-3]

Thank-you Fejf for taking us along on your flight. I especially enjoyed watching how the wing flexed upward as the aircraft gained flight speed. It is a shame that the 4 engine jets are starting to become a legend. You really lucked out to have a flight with no crying babies (at least I did not hear any). I look forward to part 2 of this flight, when you land at JFK with swollen eyes, being dehydrated, and having to stand in line at customs with passengers from 16 other overseas flights all arriving at the same time. JUST KIDDING! Thank-you again for your work!

[@aviationvideosgraz]

Stunning video of this powerful takeoff.

[@doriancroatia2054]

I had almost exact view traveling from AMS to YUL in 2016... traveling across the atlantic was really one unforgettable experience since it was my 1st time on plane:)

[@TheFejfAviation]

Not a bad way to go for your first time.

[@jc2971]

THIS is still the best plane in the world. Nothing beats a 747

[@alwinpriven2400]

A380

[@ollipaukola8541]

"The Queen Of The Skies" always

[@rustydesarro8852]

This is freaking awesome!!! Great video!! Thank you and God Bless!!

[@emercycrite]

Love the GE engines too!

[@jpennin1]

Wow, at 12:07 I never realized how much the outer nacelle can wobble around in the turbulence.

[@gerardmoran9560]

It's fascinating. Due to gyroscopic precession, a force acting on a rotating object is manifested 90° in the direction of rotation. Up and down forces on the engine nacelle result in left and right wobbles.

[@langkawiaviation]

Lovely takeoff indeed 😍😍😍.

[@lucascalma605]

Those engines definitely sound better than the 777s engines as well as the A380s engines!!

[@timothysmith8429]

I've flown probably a quarter of a million miles on different 747 from Air New Zealand Singapore Airlines Qantas and many others in the mid eighties to the early nineties going backwards and forwards from the UK to Australia and New Zealand and couldn't have wanted a better plane to travel on,absolutely marvelous such grace and power especially if fitted with rolls Royce RB211 ENGINES.

[@jayd1426]

I have loved my dear friend, the 747, since I was one year old. I can happily say that the A380 is only a flying rhino on wheels, and the 777 is a boring crammed up cattle car with bumpy rides.

[@yahatinda]

thats one speedy bird.

[@coydog7902]

The GE engines are the most epic in existence

[@midwestsirens]

That's pretty sweet I've always wanted to fly on a 747

[@louiseprice1435]

Wonderful views, thank you for a great video!

[@tw25rw]

The 744 has the best takeoff sound and sensation. I will miss them for that. Best I ever had was on BA out of BKK. I got upgraded to business and could see back into the engines. The capt went full tilt from rotation to cruise. Was more like a launch. 777s etc can't match the sensation no matter how much cheaper they are to operate.

[@TheFejfAviation]

tw25rw definitely agree best takeoff sound. Takes me back to my BA 747 flight as well. I have a couple of clips on my channel if you want to check them out.

[@28xnlh]

To bad you missed the old 747's from KLM with the JT9 Pratt and Whitney and the GE CF6-50 engines. ;)

[@tw25rw]

@@28xnlh I don't remember ever flying on a 747 with P&W engines. Flown KLM many times through AMS, but never on a 747.

[@28xnlh]

@@tw25rw The first 7 747 from KLM had the P&W engines, PH-BUA to BUG with water injection. The first three had dual autopilots, the other had tripple autopilots. One of them was lost at the Tenerife accident

[@michaelearith781]

I sure miss hearing the rumbling sounds of 744s as they began the ascent upwards at MAN now bound for Singapore & Hong Kong during the 90s, A380s are too quiet during takeoffs IMO. Does the KLM Amsterdam to New York flight route over North Yorkshire coast I wonder?

[@lol-ug2ry]

Love those CF6!

[@HDAviationVideos]

Nice!

[@elshowdealanlewis5961]

muy buen videos de líneas aereas me gusta mucho porque yo viajo mucho en avión

The 747 is amazing, but the first queen of the skies was the 707 period

I call these telescopic engines.

[@sukhmaidickoff]

Nice video. Sorry, but I have to ask the standard question: What camera are you using?

[@TheFejfAviation]

Bryan Awkwardson Sony WX350

[@sukhmaidickoff]

Thank you :-)

[@PavelAlexeev-super]

Just one funny question: why noone told him "Sir, please, switch off all electronic devices while takeoff!!!" )))

[@abecoulter18]

Pavel Alexeev devices which rely upon cellphone towers and wireless communication

[@overbank56]

What was the cruising alt & speed for this flight

[@jaarryifleshblood315]

How much fuel it’s saving?

[@josephaddo7371]

Where were you flying to????

[@josephaddo7371]

Ganesh Thakoer 2020 sorry mate 😂😂😂😂 I realised it later on

[@helthuismartin]

Vanaf de Kaagbaan???

[@gjv-klm_747]

747 being in design a military transport aircraft, will forever be the best passenger aircraft ever built.

[@matthewgregory8218]

It’d really fast

[@ianskelhorn2311]

[@Wiktor_Brogowski]

Sadly this aircraft is now stored

[@TheFejfAviation]

Not much longer now. :(

[@smyle78]

it has so annoying loud sound during takeoff and ascending

[@pawelsawicki7003]

Terrable videoing

[@aircraftsandtrains2309]

These aren't ge engines these are Pratt and Whitney 4000

[@TheFejfAviation]

alvin logan if you look on the side, you see the GE logo.

[@mikeyp5929]

the engines sound awful. a rattling broken noise

[@alihasan6896]

nah......the takeoff was very weak
