(HD) Delta Air Lines Boeing 747-400 Minneapolis International Airport / Up Close & Personal

The Queen of the Skies in all her glory. There's a few shots, especially later in this video, the average avgeek certainly won't see particularly often. When was the last time you leaned a camera out the upper deck of a 747? or got to see an up-close of the tail strobe? I'm very lucky to have these experiences and hopefully through this video you can live some of the magic of the moment with me!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The old Northwest Airlines Boeing 747s used to fly out of Chicago O'Hare International Airport in the 1990s... perhaps one of these birds is the one that I vividly remember watching pushback out of the gate from ORD to Tokyo and Manila.
N669US (cn 24224/803) Originally a Northwest Airlines bird, this aircraft, like most of the current Delta 744 fleet has worn three different liveries: old Northwest, nwa Silver and red and finally Delta blue and white.
Delta Air Lines Boeing 747-400 747-451 N673US / 6313 (cn 30268/1226)
Named the "City of Tokyo" when it flew with Northwest Airlines.
These two have been common visitors over the years at...
Tokyo Narita International Airport RJAA / NRT, Shanghai Pudong International Airport ZSPD / PVG, Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport EHAM / AMS, New York JFK Kennedy International Airport KJFK / JFK , Osaka Kansai International Airport KIX / RJBB, Tel Aviv Ben Gurion International Airport LLBG / TLV, Los Angeles International Airport KLAX / LAX, Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport RPLL / MNL, Paris Charles de Gaulle Roissy International Airport LFPG / CDG, Taoyuan Taipei Taiwan International Airport RCTP / TPE, Beijing Capital International Airport ZBAA / PEK, Nagoya Chubu Centrair International RJGG / NGO, Tokyo Haneda International Airport RJTT / HND, Honolulu International Airport PHNL / HNL, Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport KMSP / MSP, etc.

An aircraft in maintenance truly is a great sight! I get to see a320's, 737's, 757's, 767's and a300's in a maintenance hangar but I bet a 747 is something else! Good Job! :-)

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+MT Aviation Thanks for watching! the size is impressive for sure.... you forget for a moment as your on it that this actually..... FLIES!

[@FlyingAsia]

What an experience this was for you Jay! A once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Queen of the Skies up close.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+FlyCruise Singapore I am most lucky, my friend! Very happy i got to share this all with you guys.

[@AlexPraglowskiAviation]

Thoroughly enjoyed that, especially those cockpit views! Phenomenal work as always.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+dude8472productions Thanks bunches, DUDEspotter!

[@aviationvideosgraz]

Excellent video and what a chance to film this beauty from such a close distance.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Aviation Videos THNX! for stoppin by, my friend!

[@theplatinumtakeoff6215]

N669US is my favorite of all the Delta 747’s. It’s the one I flew on from Detroit to Seoul and back on its last scheduled flight. Even got to visit the cockpit! Both flight reports are on KZbin. Also flew on N664US in 2009 when it was Delta on the inside but still Northwest livery.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

The Platinum Takeoff Pretty sweet! I spent 23 of 24 hours on 669 going to from Tokyo just to fly on a Delta 747 before they retired it, I even got to autograph it with a magic marker before they sent it to the desert. Pictures are on instagram and my video is here on KZbin.

[@syedhoque8009]

Wow! :-) The 747, a fixture of Global Skies for more than 45 years which has been able to link cities across multiple continents enabling high passenger yields at affordable prices. Today sales for 747s and A380s have sharply declined and the sales of 777s, 787s and A350s have risen. The Era of the Jumbo is ending and the Era of the 777s, 787s and A350s is beginning. Yet the 747 will always Inspire fans worldwide and for those lucky to have flown on them the memories will always be treasured. What a great video Jay! :-)

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Syed Hoque Sad to see the Jumbo Jet era wind to a close.... enjoying it while i can. I think the future of commercial long-range aviation is bright though with many exciting new variants and routes. Looking forward to it.

[@scoobycarr5558]

I think Boeing has brought out the new Dreamliner 787-10 plus the new 777X that are supposed to be more efficient and able to achieve 10,000 miles nonstop. France's Airbus is about to counter with a new version of the A350 that can go at least 12,000 miles nonstop. For these longer flights, however, most airlines such as Air France, Singapore, Cathay Pacific and Qantas prefer to add a stopover to their flight plans. Qantas right now has added a stopover for their long range flights from London to Australia. Cathay Pacific has added a stopover from Hong Kong for its long range flights mainly terminating in London.

[@LeshVarg]

Oh boy!! Love seeing this fine piece of engineering. It's been a long time since I been on a 747-400, like almost 10 years. I really want to get on this Delta 747-400 before they retire it. You are lucky man with a great job, Jay! Like SLAP!!!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+NihselAviation THNX, Nihselman!!

[@LeshVarg]

Jay's O'HareAviation Plane Spotting HD No Problem Jay man. I put up my final spotting vids for the year. Can't wait to see your end of the year comp. :)

[@ilikerio]

Wow!!! This is an awesome video! Just when the close-up terminal views were impressive, you got even closer! Great job filming this, thanks so much for sharing!! And Merry Christmas!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Horizon Productions SFL Thanks! I'll try to do more like this in future.

[@dipsticktroller5703]

This is a real treat - kudos to you Jay!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

Thanks for watching!!

[@RudivanGoch]

20 minute video of one plane! :D Incredible!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Rudi van Goch - Aviation Videography had a wonderful time! glad i could share with you.

[@jaretos]

Wow dude, you're so lucky! Beautiful 747!! Amazing video, greetings dude ;)

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+jaretosr thanx for stopping by! Greetings, from Minneapolis!

[@JelmersAviation]

Really epic video mate!I love this so much! HUGE LIKE!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+jelmerpilotHD thnx, jelmer-man! have a Merry Christmas and happy 2016!

[@JelmersAviation]

You too mate!

[@Airplaneviewer]

Very well done. Always enjoy a good tour and you are a great tour guide - thanks.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Airplaneviewer lol! thanks, my friend. No prob.. maybe i'll get more practice doing this and make an even better video next time.

[@shamrock767]

Now that was cool! I had an opportunity myself to do just that in Heathrow many moons ago and the memories this video has awoken are ones of awe at this aircraft. Thank you Jay, I really enjoyed your walkaround, Merry Christmas pal! Sláinte (b)

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+shamrock767 Merry Christmas to you as well, Mr. Shamrock! You feel inspired sitting on the flight deck and thinking of all the great pilots that have flown it, or walking through the seating areas and thinking of all the people who have flown on one of these.... so many stories.

[@OwnsGermany]

Awesome production! Who would've thought just a truck driver (me) flew on this aircraft in the upper deck out NRT a year ago!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+OwnsGermany Glad to hear! Thanks for watching and long time no talk... I hope I can come out there and spot with you sometime this year. Let me know if/when it will work for you.

[@atlubeckAviation]

That's so cool you got to go that up close the none other than the Queen of Delta's fleet! Sad they're retiring these beauties, but the 747 is getting much older! Liked!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+atlubeck yes, sadly the days of the 747 are numbered... enjoying it while i can.

[@atlubeckAviation]

Yep.

[@RVNspotting]

The 747 never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for sharing, Jay!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+RVNspotting love this bird... glad I could film this for you!

[@Ibran8787]

Thanks for sharing!!! Delta gave you an all access pass, you should have asked to take it for a spin!!! The size of the Boeing 747 will always amaze me, you have to stand next to it on the ground to really understand. I've had the chance a few times also. Happy Holidays Jay!!!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+American Airlines B777-300ER I agree about having to stand next to it. Thanks for watching!

[@turbofanlover]

Pretty nice plane ya got there, Captain. ;) Thanks much, man.......that was awesome. :)

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+turbofanlover Thanks for watching, Mr. TFL! any time i get the chance to look at one of these up close its an experience to remember. So happy I could share with you guys.

[@dbn52]

Jay this is so cool. The most beautiful plane ever! I read your description first and thought what in the hell is a tail strobe, Well dummy me it's a strobe in the tail! Very interesting cause I had never seen one before. Oh I so want to fly in one.The engines and flaps on that beautiful wing. Damn I am so jealous. Cockpit looks so complicated and mind numbing at the same time . The before take-off list on the steering was to me the best part . Do this than this than that. Wonderful my friend just wonderful. Hope new job is going well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all of your fellow fans!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+dbn52 Merry Christmas to you and a Happy new year, my friend! So happy to be able to share this experience with all of you out there... it is indeed breathtaking walking around and inside this aircraft in particular... a little American history in front of you.... the kind you can touch.

[@canadianplanespotter]

The luckiest spotter on KZbin ;) Jay, this video makes me jealous...what a privilege this must've been! Sad they're going to be fazed out soon :( but great you got to see one up close before it's too late!

[@aviationfascination]

They're fazing out the 747s?? :((

[@canadianplanespotter]

Sadly yes, most airlines are. Air France will fly it's last 747 in January, Delta is slowly getting rid of them...and a bunch of other companies have already stopped using them. Thankfully British Airways plans to preserve its jumbo jet fleet, and Lufthansa and KLM also operate a large number. Safe to say the "Queen of the Skies" won't last much longer :( because other planes like the 777 and Airbus a330 can do exactly what the 747 can, but for a cheaper cost

[@02Nawal]

+AirbusObserverA380 what about qantas aka cuntas? They use the 747's a lot.

[@02Nawal]

+nathanater08 they're tooooooo old and out dated. They waste so much fuel too.

[@canadianplanespotter]

Yes, most of the ones Delta has are from the early 1990s. Northwest was the 747-400 launch customer in 1989, and Delta aquired Northwest in 2008

[@99carnot]

Awesome you could do that! Liked and thanks for posting. Wheel wells and spare engine - very cool:)

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+99carnot Thanks for watching, Mr. 99!

[@99carnot]

Really good behind-the-scenes video!!

[@joshmccorquodale9082]

Wow Jay, working for a major airline does have its benefits! Love the 747, especially in such a beautiful livery. I fear that we won't be seeing her much longer though:( Have a great holiday season my friend!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Josh McCorquodale yes, sadly these are all going to be retired soon.... enjoying them while i can. Happy Holidays to you as well!

[@MajorIdontcare]

That is one pretty airplane. Haven't seen one in person yet, but I will soon hopefully!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+MajorIdontcare Wishing you a 747 experience sometime soon. Thanks for watching!

[@PVDPlaneSpotting]

That was pretty awesome, Jay!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+PVDAviation THNX 4 watching, Mr. PVD!

[@ohioplanespotting1300]

Amazing video! I have seen this bird twice at DTW!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Planespotter27 SW3ET!! I want to go spotting at DTW sometime...

[@ohioplanespotting1300]

+Jay's O'HareAviation Plane Spotting HD Awesome! Although in my book, I would rather spot at KORD any day of the week. Just much more diversity at KORD in my opinion.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

Planespotter27 Have to agree.... although I am sad to no longer planespot on a regular basis in Chicago, I do plan to take some trips back to O'Hare in the future. Stay tuned!

[@saxonlight]

Enjoyed the tour. Thanks

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Hesperus glad to hear! thanks for watching.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Fin Aviation Merry Christmas to you as well, mate! Happy 2016!

[@DullesPlaneSpotter]

Epic!! I really enjoyed seeing your perspective of the Queen of the Skies! Looks like your new job is fantastic! :)

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+DullesPlaneSpotter love being around aviation every day ;) goodtimes!

[@klc317]

Wow! Awesome opportunity there. One thing I noticed that I didn't know is how close the inboard flaps are mounted to the fuselage.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+klc317 yes indeed.... it really is cool seeing this up-close and comparing it to memory. You learn a lot on a walk-around like this one. Wish i could've done a full walk-around but I wanted to avoid getting in maintenance's way. THNX 4 watching!

[@jeffman61]

Jay, Your description of the 747 is apt when you called it "The Queen of the Skies". IMO, there is nothing like staring at a Boeing 747 close up on any other type of aircraft, just as you provided in this vid. And that includes those monstrosity Airbus A-380's. For those who are into computer flight simulation PMDG's version of the 747's, (both 400s and 8i's) are unrivaled on any other type of sim aircraft. Thanks for sharing this awesome vid, Jay! The one clueless person who voted this vid a "thumbs down" must work for Airbus, lol! I'd also like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2016, Jay. Thank you for all that you do for aviation fans with your awesome YT channel, sir!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+jeffman61 merriest Christmas and a Happy 2016 back to you, good sir! Thanks for each and every comment and view of my videos all this year. It's fun having a knowledgeable audience to share my aviation experiences with.

[@MrDingle77]

Beautiful! A legend and a real piece of well manufactured machinery! Heads and tails better than the A380 garbage!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Love The Lord Thanks for watching! I do think the 747 looks better than the A380 but I have to say I do like the A380 for what it is.

[@kainscampton6050]

Congrats on 900 videos!! Really great video and interesting! Big thumbs up!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+AircraftAce 92 wow! I didn't realize I had that many :D Thanks for watch!ng so many of them, my friend.

Hey, I was on that plane (669) last year: Feb 2014 JFK-TLV. Nice comfortable ride, maintained in good condition.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Dave Glo thanks for the ride report ;) and thanks for watching!

[@Sheri45myvideos]

Wow that was cool especially when you got to go inside the plane too and that is one huge airplane. The cockpit looked similar to southwest but a tad bit bigger and more roomier. I always wondered why the seats look like that. And I myself now know what its like to sit in those seats since they let me peak at the cockpit last May when we landed back in Chicago.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Sheri-myvideos Sweetness indeed. Glad i got to share this with you.

[@escap2]

Loved your video of the 747 and especially the inside shots of the hangar as I am building a 1:400 scale model of the hangar. I collect 1:400 scale models and have around 100 of them. Any additional video of the insides of that 2 bay 747 hangar at MSP would be most appreciated. I have the plans for the hangar, showing the dimensions but want to add lights to the interior so that it can look all the more realistic inside as well. Thank you again!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

Thanks 4 watch!ng Unfortunately this is all the video I have. I do have some pictures on my instagram but I'm not sure how much they would help.

[@escap2]

I would definitely be interested in seeing your Instagram! It may assist me, but love seeing other aviation enthusiast's photos and videos as well. Thank you so much for your kind reply!

yeah, but sadly delta is suppose to retire them by 2017 so i hope you'll be able to fly one of these beasts before then

[@OHAREAVIATION]

Jasper paws I wish you luck!

[@PremierAutoMan86]

RIP 747...so sad most airlines are retiring them and very few passenger airlines have bought the new one

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+PremierAutoMan86 have to agree..... sad to see the 747 nearing retirement across the board. The twin-engine variants are loved for their fuel efficiency and most airlines will take a new twin-engine over a new four-engine for that reason. Enjoying them while I can.

[@PremierAutoMan86]

+Jay's O'HareAviation Plane Spotting HD I hear you man...thanks for the great vids. The twin engines are cool in their own right and the A380 is there but nothing will be as iconic as the 747

[@AlexTrain5249]

At least I think I've been on one these big beautiful aircraft.

[@02Nawal]

[@djheath7720]

OK. I AGREE. I CANT BELIEVE THE 747's ARE BEING REPLACED BY THE A380.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Dj Heath they are being replaced by the A350-900 as well.

[@matteotonelli376]

Other than that cool Video

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+italianpizzadude 20 THNX!

[@djheath7720]

OK.ISINT THE 747 ALSO BEING REPLACED BY THE A330 AND 767?

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Dj Heath on certain routes perhaps... but that's quite the passenger difference.

[@AlexTrain5249]

I only saw that thing like 5 times before she stopped coming here.

[@djheath7720]

OK . WHAT YEAR DID THE A350 START FLYING?

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+Dj Heath there aren't many of them around now but soon they will take over many of the 747 routes.

[@matteotonelli376]

If they do, Where do 747's fly out of MSP

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+italianpizzadude 20 they usually don't actually... they do come here for maintenance from time to time or for charters. Occasionally they depart on a plane-swap. It depends though.

[@user-wy1vl4yy2q]

nice vid but I was hoping to see a take off.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

+G Thanks for watching! I tried my best to get a little bit of that one departure but I agree, wasn't the best shot of it with a limited view of the takeoff available due to two jet bridges blocking the view and some guy talking in the background. Sorry, i can't do everything and be everywhere. You do realize this is an amateur film as well. It just looks better perhaps because I know how to get a few shots and market my videos. To get a really good takeoff shot i would've had to of been on the other side of the airport at the viewing area which you can't get to in less than 10 minutes. By the time the aircraft pulls back from the gate and I get over there he will already be gone. There were only 2 Delta 747 takeoffs that day and I thought this one was going to depart first and I'd get the second one later. Turns out this one ended up getting delayed and the other one took off before we all thought it was going to. Sometimes you don't get lucky and make the best of it. At least I was able to take a tour of the 747 in the hanger to try and salvage the video. Even that didn't turn out the greatest trying to stay out of maintenance's way while filming. Yep, these videos generally take a lot more to put together than what meets the eye. Glad you enjoyed what i managed to make. Happy holidays and happy 2016!

[@user-wy1vl4yy2q]

+Jay's O'HareAviation Plane Spotting HD oh ok thanks. never get enough of these 747 truly the queen of the skies.
