Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 foggy takeoff from Frankfurt I 4K

[@christopherescott6787]

The most elegant large aircraft ever built. Simply beautiful.

[@flying_mbm]

Thanks for commenting, the Boeing 747 really is a piece of elegance 😍

[@kingghidorah8106]

The Queen's wings and 777's wings are my favorite

[@flying_mbm]

Thanks for watching, I agree that Boeing does design pretty beautiful wings xD

[@kingghidorah8106]

@@flying_mbm they're so organic, with all the moving parts they look like an eagle's feathers meanwhile Airbus wings are borderline rigid

[@Odontomango]

​​​​@@kingghidorah8106I absolutely agreed. And then when A350 comes out, it is just a weird looking wing. That Airbus rigid looking wings don't go well with the curve up raked wingtip. It's just so out of place. Boeing has been using raked wing design since the 1990s too. They are the OG. When they designed the 767-400er wing. Then they put it on newer 777 models. After that, 787 comes out with even less angular, more curve raked wingtip, which they put on this new 747 and the 777x. Airbus just recently started using curve up raked winglets when A350 and A330neo came out in the 2010s. All their older design widebodies have the A330 design winglet or the one that they put on A300, A320family, A380. Those actually matched with rigid wing design better.

[@kingghidorah8106]

@@Odontomango The A350's tips are called non planar wingtips, and yes the a350 wings are dull. The A330-300's wings flex much more. The wings on the A330Neo are beautiful except for the wide and short track covers on the trailing edge.

[@Odontomango]

@@kingghidorah8106 While I don't find Airbus wing as attractive as Boeing's. If I have to pick a favorite. It'd be A330neo. I preferred this winglet over A350's non planar. In some angles, the overview shape looks quite similar to the 787. Angles like directly top/below view, or around 45 degree from behind. That's what I discovered when doing planespotting. 👌

[@conti2000]

That wing looks kind'a "fishy" to me! 🤔 Bit too crisp and hardly any wingtip movement...! Anyone? (...and yes, I did fly in one of these; FRA-JNB)

[@thirdopinion8708]

18:00 ... Beautiful capture! I love how you can witness the wing to flex up in flight.

[@flying_mbm]

Yea, that’s always interesting to see in these larger aircraft, glad you enjoyed it :)

Wow the quality is impressive

Thank you, appreciate that :)

Yep, that’s quite common on a cold winter day, you can also check that out on my A350 departure from Munich in 2019. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5CtYqeZjLqFjtE Thanks for watching ✌️

Wow i haven’t seen very many 747-8 videos on youtube, however this is really good!

I made it my aim to fly B747 before they are out of service. I took lufthansa B747-8 from Frankfurt to Banglore anf took off from Fra. Its not runway 25, buy my video is as clear as this excluding mist.

[@karthikp965]

@@flying_mbm the rattling sound is due to camera/ phone/ video device is pressed against window. I did the same and had same issue.

[@flying_mbm]

@@karthikp965 yea, this was one of the reasons for me to switch to GoPro the year after. I obtained much better recordings. The rattling sound after liftoff has another reason and is about hydraulics (not sure about the exact reason though 😅)

[@TheAdimondo]

Accurate work, one of the aviation videos I always expect. Funny to see the rubber seal fluttering on the edge of the high velocity aileron.

[@flying_mbm]

Thanks for watching, really glad you like it :) Feel free to check out my newer videos, too, with upgrading to my GoPro, I could implement noticeable improvements on quality ✌️

[@lapipesmoker3751]

Well done! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was really fun, and felt like I was in the plane witnessing a beautiful transition from a dark foggy day to the sunshine above.

[@flying_mbm]

Thank you very much for your nice comment, glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@kirstenschafer1719]

Thank you for this video! Nice to see the flaps inflight! I love the b747...the real queen of the skies! 1980 I had an amazing trip to Canada...with an Air Canada b747/400...

[@flying_mbm]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoed it, I also have some more 747 videos around which you might enjoy :)

[@iamgp3313]

The boeing 747-400 was released 1989 how could you possibly have flown with it in 1980 lmao

[@ahahm]

I got to try 747-8! It will most likely be either on Korean Air or Lufthansa! Excellent wing view!

[@flying_mbm]

Ah nice, luckily they are supposed to be around after the COVID-pandemic, at least Lufthansa plans to keep them, while they are still not sure about their A380s...

[@ahahm]

Sharklets on those engines look so cool!!

[@flying_mbm]

Yea, I agree, the chevrons do look awesome 😍

[@N125AS]

very nice video ! What a long take off run !

[@flying_mbm]

Thanks for stopping by :) Taking off in a 747 always feels long... and every second of it is awesome 😍

[@huysaviation477]

Brilliant video! You got a really nice wing view on a B747-8. You're super lucky to fly on it since many airlines are retired it out of their fleet nowadays. One more time, your wing view is so nice, you have a video for that life! Thanks for sharing your amazing wing view on a B747-8!

[@flying_mbm]

Thanks for watching, I‘m happy that you enjoyed it :D Flying the 747-8 is awesome indeed. Luckily Lufthansa has still plenty of them in their fleet and is also planning to keep them, despite the Covid-19 crisis.

Was 33A a good seat ?

[@flying_mbm]

Nah, it was not. I prefer sitting in the front Eco cabin of the 747, but I'd go for a seat between row 28 and 32 :)

[@notsureyou]

I prefer the "old" Lufthansa livery

[@flying_mbm]

Indeed, I had the impression that it was more timeless and individual than the new one…

[@mikaelbiilmann6826]

3 planes I would have liked to have flown in: 747, A380 and Concorde. Otherwise I have flown in: AS350, Alouette 3, Bell 212, Bell 222, Sikorsky S61, King Air, Twin Otter, Dash 7, Dash 8, Fokker F50, DC-6, DC-8, DC-9 (and variants), DC-10, C141 Starlifter, Boeing 727, 737, 757, 767. (There was an American military helo in 1971-ish, but I was too little to remember which one).

[@tadeuszlufik]

how did you get this so stable ...with an ipad? did you mount this to the window? great capture

[@flying_mbm]

Well, it is quite a challenge, you have to keep your arms stable holding the iPad to the window, pressing it against the glass, which is quite exhausting, especially for a lionger peroid of time. Also when taking off, the plane starts tovibrate and so does the iPad, luckily it was a foggy day and you could not really see it vibrating. ...Those all were good reasons for me to get myself a GoPro. It makes smoother videos and it is way more comfortable to record takeoffs and landings with it 😅

[@tote2418]

Man is kinda sad that the boeing 747 are dissappearing

[@flying_mbm]

Well not at Lufthansa. They have decided to keep their 748s for another decade, despite COVID. I am sure you’ll get another opportunity to fly the 747 xD

[@tote2418]

@@flying_mbm yeah, I have the hope. In 2016 I traveled twice in a 747-400 Spain to Mexico. I'm Spanish and I live in Canary Islands so it's difficult for me because the 747-8 routes are for other countries very far, but still here the hope😆

Nope, it is a 747-8, you can see it by looking at the outer engine, which you can not see on the 787 from that angle. Also the 788 has a slimmer wing. Also, Lufthansa only operates the 747-8 and no Dreamliner (yet).

"Achten Sie auf die Ansage der Crew". Früher hieß es "Ansage der Besatzung". Ob Air France auch sich angepasst hat? Glaube ich nicht.

[@flying_mbm]

Die Begriffe werden meines Wissens nach analog zueinander verwendet. Bei Air France heißt es übrigens thtsächlich "l'equipage", aber soweit ich weiß verwenden die auch den Ausdruck "La crew".
