Lufthansa 747-8 Beautiful Taxi, Takeoff and Climb from Chicago O'Hare International Airport!

End your fear of flying: nonstopdan.com/fly-freely/ One of my favorite recordings ever! The lighting, the wing view, the views - everything is as good as it can be! Enjoy my friends :)
After a pushback in incredible lighting we enjoy an awesome taxi to runway 28 past the international terminal 5. After a short wait for takeoff, we finally line up and speed down the beautiful tarmac, lifting off with stunning elegance. This is followed by a colorful climb over Lake Michigan and onward toward Frankfurt. I LOVE IT!

The wing design of the B747-8i is not only elegant. It is highly efficient. I just love the curve and flex on rotation. Nice video Dan!!!

That wing is modern art.

I sound weird while saying this but out of all the aircraft wings I have seen, the 747 8 is like that one crush of your who you can’t stop looking at

[@brian9681]

Very nice. Complete with screaming baby. Perfect and realistic. Thank you for posting.

[@Siggy4844]

Wow, super long taxi to the runway, and that bridge :o For those of you complaining about the taxi footage being too long, takeoff roll starts at about the 19:00 minute mark. I for one enjoy all the taxiying, reminds me of when I used to fly. Haven't been on a plane in decades. Great video as always, Dan.

[@beetle2001am]

This is why I think air travel is so fantastic. You get the trill of the engines on near full and with two smooth turns of the yoke, your up hundreds of feet in the air in no time. I always think to my self. 2 minutes ago i was sitting there on the taxi way, and now I'm up here. That's the best take off video that I've ever seen. Excellent job!

[@borninjordan7448]

You're like me, my friend.

That’s the 747 power it’s a very quick takoff

[@tothemax9850]

Beautiful wings

[@andylam73]

love this queen of the sky so much. just wish boeing is able to sell more of these and so she can stay in the sky for all the years to come.

[@jonahsgang8830]

Sadly airlines are more interested now in smaller aircraft like the 787,a320-21 NEO for long haul travel for transatlantic travel I knows it’s sad these amazing aircraft have been around for 60 years!! What a beast of an aircraft

[@AtzetificusRudolfensis84]

Yes !!! I´m flying in a week with this queen. My seat is 29A so this was a very nice preview to my seat..just 2 rows behind that. Now I know what is expecting me...

[@erich930]

I flew on one of those from Frankfurt to D.C. once. It was pretty cool. they actually allowed me to take a look into the cockpit at the gate! there were soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many buttons and switches. Too bad 747 passenger service will be a thing of the past soon. They're such beautiful aircraft.

[@robertstephens7900]

All Hail To The Queen of the skies... She has reclaimed her Crown

[@flygwada971]

This Queen is just amazing. It's a shame that this aircraft hasn't been succesfull. Awesome work.

[@NonstopDan]

It sure is a shame! Thanks my friend :)

[@warhawk40]

I think the reason that the aircraft has not been selling is because Boeing only offers GE engines. They would not allow Rolls Royce or Pratt & Whitney to offer their engines on this new 747. Everybody went for the Airbus A380 that offers the RR Trent 900 or the Engine Alliance (GE/PW) GP7200.

[@Skullteen]

***** I think it has more to do with the fact that airlines are shifting to widebody twin engine planes like the 777, 787 and A330 because they're more economical and can carry almost as many passengers. Airlines are shifting away from jumbos which is a shame. Even the A380, as famous as it is, isn;t selling as well as Airbus would like. The 747-8i will probably sell better in the future, but as industry trends are showing, it won't do as well as the far more popular 777X and 787

[@Moss235]

Systematic the great thing that the 747 will always have over other aircraft is that it can be made a cargo plane, passenger carriers will forever go with economic designs, to me the only saving is on the number of engines as the -8 is super fuel efficient and lets face it you could barely hear those engines

[@AlexC595]

[@salamander5318]

The 747-8 is the most beautiful plane in the world from the outside, but #2 as far as being a passenger. The Airbus A380 is the best airliner in history to be a passenger in.

[@jspivak86]

that sight @ 30:23 WOW!!!

Thank you for this great video. I used to work on military aircraft many years ago. This brings back that wonderful feeling.

[@kulmainer]

Thanks for posting this video, its always amazing to me, how two fragile wings with all these flaps can lift a few hundred tons like nothing! The last time I was on a 747 was 1988 on a flight from Baltimore to Frankfurt, so many feelings come back to me watching this!! And watching the wings at landing bouncing up and down was the most impressive on this flight, what an incredible machine this Jumbo 747 is, I love this plane!! Thanks to the American Nation, who first built the biggest plane in the world in the 1970´s! Greetings from Germany!

A second-generation 747 alongside a third-generation 747. Very cool! Also depicted very nicely here are the often long, circuitous taxi routes assigned to pilots by ground lol.

[@orientlover1]

This plane must have travelled some 20 kilometers before taking off.

[@Tina2tu]

Beautiful ;)

[@romanosnielsen6594]

For those of you who keep complaining about the wings, they are designated so as to encounter minimum aerodynamic drag especially during take-off and landing.. Otherwise, there would be turbulent flow over the wings that would cause vertices/Eddies' at the back:-) I'm currently doing my second year of engineering guys;-)

[@PacificEdibleSeaweed]

It's got those quiet new motors.

[@awsomej177]

wait, those were on?

[@elton6656]

too quiet, miss the roar of takeoff!

[@TerryHenson]

I've never flown before :( . But this is considered quiet? Not being rude just simply curious. :)

[@foxquetzal420]

Holy crap that take-off was quiet, normally you get that scream of sound as they wind up, kinda miss it but at the same time that's impressive engineering!

[@Elementalism]

Had to do a double take on the title and the wing. I forgot these are used for more than freight. Great video!

I have flown this flight many many times when I can't get a direct lax-fra flight. Not a big fan of this airport but a HUGE fan of this plane. Nice vid.. I'll be taking some next flight..

[@NYCentralSpotter1070]

I've been on a flight out of O'Hare that took this long roundabout way that used the bridges that cross the access road and 'L' train line to get to the south runway

[@TheKingTubby1]

what a beaut - long and low - just what's best when flying on a '47 of any type. For those that don't know their Queens, note the absence of the traditional triple slotted trailing edge flaps on the dash 8 series of Jumbo. The outer flap being a single device and the inboard flap being a double slotted section.What a nice way to see an 800 - not many airlines operate them in full passenger configuration, the majority having been built as cargo luggers.
