I’ve always loved airplanes. I can’t remember a time that I didn’t. When I was 3 we were on a night flight from Caracas to Miami on a PanAm 707. Somehow my dad knew the Captain and had told him about my love for planes. Maybe an hour or so after takeoff a stewardess came and took me to the cockpit. The Captain asked me, “do you want to fly the plane?” He then proceeded to set me on his lap. And as I sat there holding on the control yoke, looking at all the lit instruments in the otherwise darkened cockpit I knew right there and then...”This is what I want to do”. I remember all that like it was yesterday. Today I’m a Captain with United Airlines flying the 777. And Coincidentally my favorite time to fly is at night. I just wish I could bring every little boy and girl that shows an interest up front and allow them the same experience. For little did that Captain know, he set on the course for the rest of my life.

[@timleigh5151]

I always fly united maybe one day you might be my captain👍

[@tulekit4336]

When I was a little boy we lived in the Panama Canal Zone. My earliest memory of flying was maybe age 3-4 or 5 flying to STL with my parents to visit my family on leave. My strongest memories are of being so excited that I ran up the wrong tailcone stairs of planes lined up to take on passengers. Of looking out the window at the field of blue taxiway lights -a sea of blue as far as the eye could see. (To this day I must have a window seat) Of walking on the tarmac under the wing of the biggest fastest loudest thing I’d ever seen. Of asking my mom over and over “are we ‘up’ yet?” (Cruising altitude). Of the stewardess inadvertently waking up my mom coming thru the cabin with her cart. Of stopping in Florida on the way. Of landing in STL greeted by grandpa wearing his best suit and hat who kneeled down and asked me if I knew who he was. I did. I thought it seemed a silly question haha. To this day in spite of all the drudgery of flying I try to keep that same child like excitement of actual flight itself even these 50 years later.

Sometime about 1977 or 1978, Jimmy Carter arrived in Providence on one of the original 707 AF-1 aircraft. I think the longest runway was a little short of 7000' back then. Of course, on departure, it wasn't going to take off with a full passenger and fuel load.

[@fr-tigerfangs7039]

You can tell the guy shooting the video is a true aviation fan: who else could spend over 6.5mn focusing exclusively on a close-up shot of the engines at take-off, not once filming anything else (landscape, the sky, buildings... you name it?)... Only true aviation fans can understand each other. Thanks for posting. :-)

Jet engines from the past around the 60s and early 70s. They are thinner, longer, and screaming with power down the runways taking to the skies. Classic! 😊👍❤️

My first time flying in a 707 was in 1964 and I remember reading on the flight safety card a description of what sounds to expect hearing from various systems like the hydraulics and landing gear. The 707 was a reliable plane back in the day when you dressed in suits to travel long before the cattle call flights of today.

I remember flying on 707s as kid in the late 60s and early 70s. The plane wold taxi to the end of the runway. With the brakes locked, the pilot would rev the engines up. The whole plane would be shaking. Then they would release the brakes and the plane shot forward, then down the runway and into the sky. It was GREAT fun.

[@rayglanville5505]

There is nothing like the sound of those four Pratt turbojets spooling up to that in-cabin whine that reverberates throughout the plane. Thanks for posting this wonderful piece of nostalgia.

Boeing 707 the most magnificent airplane ever built .With four engines spread out the sensation during takeoff couldn’t be matched in other planes.My first 707 ride in 1975 Kansas City to Boston TWA.Quite a thrill.

[@brandongee3551]

I’ve watched this video over 15 times and I still get goosebumps from the sound of those engines.

Now that's what a Boeing 707 should sound like. Love the buzz of that fan.

There is nothing like the classic, powerful, noisy, smoky 707 on takeoff. That was a real treat to see that on film.

[@sboegeman1]

IMHO, the Boeing 707 is the most beautiful airplane ever built. The 4 JT3Ds at idle created such a sweet sound! When I was an air traffic controller decades ago, I had the pleasure to both fly in cockpit, and work with these fine aircraft. If I close my eyes and concentrate, I can still hear those TWA 707s on the tarmac....

[@guygadbois8328]

I'm crying, it's so beautiful

[@CockatooDude]

I like that harmonic which all 4 of the engines together give off, almost like a cool metalized triangle wave on a synthesizer.

[@artistjoh]

I am lucky enough to have flown internationally on the 707 in 1970. A good solid feeling plane that gave confidence over the deep ocean, yet small enough and sufficiently exposed to the sound of those jet engines to give a wonderful sense of flight. Modern airliners might be relatively quiet and stable but they insulate you from the feeling of being on a wing and a prayer. They are like overgrown buses whereas the 707 was an aircraft that inspired the imagination. Love those engines.

[@DennisSantos]

When jets sounded like jets!

[@WeMuckAround]

Decades into the age of flight, I’m still in awe of it all. The human curiosity and wonder as to how such a large metal bird rockets into the sky is simply marvellous. What an incredible species we are

I know newer engines are quieter, more powerful, and more efficient, but I've always liked the look of the older turbofans a lot more. These just look so much more like what I think of when I hear "jet engine."

[@mtrivelin]

The brave 707. This was Brazil's presidential plane for decades, retired in 2013. It was purchased by the Brazilian Air Force in 1987 from a local airline, which originally acquired it, brand new, in 1968. It justly received the nickname "Sucatão" from the population, something that translates as a huge piece of scrap metal or junk, due to the decades of service and various mechanical problems. The "Junk" FAB 2401 was dismantled in 2014.

[@AirClipscom]

WOW, great Information, it was fun reading your comment and I also didn´t knew about the Sucatão greetings Patrick

I remember when I was a 7-year old flying from New Orleans to Baltimore on a 707 to visit my aunt for the summer of 1974. I was a smart kid who knew all airplane types. I remember my view of the wing and engines was exactly like seen here in this video. Brings back incredible memories.

[@didyuknow]

The first plane I few on was a 707. My father, mother and 5 kids were on the line to step up on the access stairs on the tarmac, when my father's friend who worked on the airline came walking up to him and told him that he was able to upgrade his seat, so he moved us from the last stair on the back to the one on the front. That was first class. I was 13 and my brothers were younger. We were super excited about the whole thing and stayed awake for the whole 7 hour flight. We ate so many tings I was wondering how all the food that they were rolling in on carts got there. Back in the days when passengers were treated as customers.

[@RC21114]

[@jamesrobinson6382]

I remember traveling in the 707's out of Dallas in 1963 when I was 23. I remember one time we had a tail wind and flying west we arrived "before we took off" because of the time zone difference. I took my first flight in 1947 in a Piper. I still get emotional with every lift off. I am taking my grand daughter to Europe on a 747 for Christmas before they disappear from the skies. This will be my 51st Atlantic crossing and it still gives me a thrill .

[@paulgekides6608]

747 is my favorite jet but I tell you the 707 is a very close second. Flew it transatlantic in the 70’s and just fell 8n love with it. Sleek looks, too.
