It’s great to see the 747 still being used like this. It’s a beautiful aircraft. The configuration looks 1st Class all the way.

[@WRic86]

lol, wonder if they made the restrooms bigger??

[@CSpad]

​@WRic86 I'm sure they do for the team. Can't imagine most of our oline & dline can fit in there

Thanks for getting the guys safely from A to B 🙏

Atlas, is Great

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Very light load out downstairs. I get the consistancy for FAs but bit of a stretch for the same pilots to be rostered for the flights. That must be interesting rig and bid wise.

[@shaft8779]

This is similar service to public bus service in Sweden :) Specialy when it is heavy snow or rain..

Awesome. Too bad the jet doesn’t have the Dolphins’ logo or colors on the outside! Fins up!🐬🤙🏽

[@marceloproano2537]

Awesome video, so is this 747-400 purchased by Atlas for this type of scenario, football or professional sports, travel? Meaning is it just sitting there until someone calls to book it or is it reserved specifically for the @MiamiDolphins?

[@9191eric]

These planes are charter passengers planes . Dolphins and jaguars and even ravens get reserve the plane for game days or for whenever they need it . When they are not flying NFL teams around they are usually used to fly military tropos around .

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

They used it to fly the Golden State Warriors to Japan some time ago

[@valinaarvokun5259]

Celebrities have flown on this jet. Leo DiCaprio, Taylor swift, etc

[@Kyle-lt8dc]

Most of Atlas’s revenue comes from flying freight or transporting military personal/cargo for the USA. The do have a couple passenger config 747s like this in a vip setup for sports teams

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

They have 7 or so 747-400s in pax configuration, 2 are VIP. They're only charter so no, they don't have one sitting around waiting for the Dolphins, they book when they want to use it. Lots of bands touring and even film companies that want to transport cast, crew and equipment to location use them a lot.

[@MrJLee-ri3so]

Once the team arrived at their destination, plane stay with them or do they do another charter and pick them up a day or 2 later…

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

they wait since in the NFL the team usually flies home after the game

[@mutley0130]

Atlas also charters for the DoD. The food looks a lot different than what NFL players get. Nothing like a dry struggle sandwich from AAFES on a 16 hour flight...

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

As they say, you get what you pay for.

[@rohan-ghosh]

The Browns fly a United 777. Some of the NBA teams fly United 757's.

[@rulinghabs]

Had no idea. Thought Atlas did nothing but cargo.

[@leonl.7681]

This is a big plane; what happens when you are flying into a city with an airport that can't fit that 747? Such as maybe the runway is too short.

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

all the cities that have an NFL team have a big enough airport

[@irvingcordova1085]

WHO DAT

[@TOMCAT5.5149]

[@77Olusegun]

69 players, 30 coaches? Almost one coach to 2 players? Why? How?

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

a lot of them work with the different positions; QB, RB, WR TE all have their own coaches along with multiple assistants, same with the positions on the defense. Then you have your offensive and defensive coordinators and they each have several assistants

[@user-jz1ki6hh4x]

Anyone that has flown Atlas for the military knows they will be broken and has service members load everyone’s luggage. 😂

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

ha, did that with Omni in 2006;)

[@miked9958]

why not get your own plane?

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

costs way more, especially for only a football season

[@angeltomlinson2635]

why should they? waste of money. it’ll only be used 8-10 weeks on and off throughout the entire year

[@darrenrichings4091]

Why don’t you give ‘em a massage while ur at it 🙄

[@Unknown_Ooh]

30+ coaches for 60 players? Isn't that a bit overkill? 😂

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

not really, the head coach and about 13 for offense, 13 for defense and 4 special teams coaches.

“They depart from Miami” two seconds later “The plan departs from Fort Lauderdale” I wish ppl would stop intertwining the two. FTL is it’s own great place, put some respect on us

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

I think she means the flight originates in Miami which is an Atlas hub, so they take off from Miami, land in Fort Lauderdale to pick up the team then head off to where they are playing

[@rickmaldonado6786]

It's unbelievable how spoiled these guys are cratered to waited on hand and foot and the money spent.just imagine the hundred millions wasted on these fooz will do better for the poor and homelessness of this country.
