Older Jets 01

1:56 Boeing 707 Sudan airways Delivered new to Sudan Airways on 10 July 1974.

[@Dan.d649]

I miss those days when we had wonderful airplanes everywhere and the loud ones on take-off. I certainly admire every airplane shown here. Thank you for sharing!!

[@spaz8461]

Yeah, it’s a shame that all the older models of aircraft have been almost completely phased out. But hey, as air travel evolves, soon the a320s and 737s that are around will also become quite dated, aged like fine wine lol

[@APW_Manbow]

That's right. The YS11, F-4EJ, etc., which were common and boring until a few years ago, are now legendary.

[@daniels.9206]

@@APW_Manbow I remember Airborne Express flying the YS11. Even with ear defenders on, they were screechers. I use to load the Buffalo Airways [Burlington Air Express] B707. I walked around it each night as if it was brand new. Those were some good planes back then. Although I wouldn't mind hanging out under a new 787.

[@APW_Manbow]

@@daniels.9206 At that time, YS11 and F-27 were active in Japan. There were also early 727s and DC8s, but all of them produced a good and delicious sound.

[@Themistocles30]

It was like the Thunderbird era. All these futuristic machines that were ahead of their time. Now we got small cramped aircraft that makes you feel uncomfortable.

[@Deviation4360]

Wow some of those looked chicken coop banged up for jet liners. That Jumbo with its APU leaking oil like an old Briggs & Stratton 😅

[@Mr.Mallardduck]

Man, those were the days. So glad I got to experience it. Thanks for posting!

[@tango22ah]

Great catch of Branson’s first 747-200 in the background

[@westhavenor9513]

The old 737's had nice proportions

[@josephhann8844]

And it ends with a Comet. Cool!

[@kevinbutters5964]

What a totally BRILLIANT video…….just brilliant.

[@classicairlineractionfromavion]

Hi @kevinbutters5964 Glad you enjoy those clips. You'll find more to watch at avionvideo.com as there is a preview clip for every DVD.

1:03 Laker Airways! Flew the Skytrain from Los Angeles to London back in 1979 as a teenager.

[@schattenjager379]

Thanks for let me remind excelent times that will never come back!!!!

[@DavidFennessy-yj7du]

I remember flying on a Tunis Air Boeing 727 from Heathrow to Tunisia in December 1975, a misty late Sunday morning, and a procession of PanAm 707’s taxing around, viewed from the window of the 727, fantastic experience as I was on a school trip and only 15 years old at the time, also on returning I noticed a huge KLM DC8 howling away near the Queen’s Buildings, I believe the KLM DC8 was a regular visitor at the time. It was very impressive

[@jocelynharris-fx8ho]

Reeve Aleutian Airways 727 !!!🥰sure miss the airlines that have disappeared 🥺😒

[@williamwatson4625]

These old silver birds certainly brought me some childhood memories. These were the planes that graced the skies when I was just a little kid. The extremely deafening roar of those BAC 1-11s, VC10s, and Concordes taking off is something I'll never forget. So for those of you that are still complaining about airplane noise, I have a suggestion: Let's bring the 727s, the BAC 1-11s, the Concordes, the DC-8s, the Hawker Siddeley Tridents, the Sud Caravelles,........... out of retirement and put them back into operational service again. You just don't know how lucky you are.

[@APW_Manbow]

The only CV880 I ever seen was a Cathay Pacific aircraft. And the Trident was the only in the CAAC.

[@Andrew-sv6zq]

Super cool! I miss those planes. Now they all look the same.

[@mzrzfxr]

2:30 wow AA 747SP in action

[@stephent8369]

Thanks, brings back great memories. The Trident was the first plane I ever flew on.

[@marceloresende1104]

Tempos que não voltam jamais 😢

[@colinrawlins3286]

Wonderful videos bringing back memories when i was a boy plane spotting from the queens building at heathrow and at gatwick airports. I was with my friends coming back from a small aerodrome near Woking called Fairoaks when we saw the engine from BOAC 707 Whisky Echo fall from the plane and land in Marco's gravel pit near Chertsey. Also when i was an apprentice in Staines middlesex seeing the aftermath of the BEA Trident crash and how close it came to being a catastrophic disaster had it come down in the town.

[@classicairlineractionfromavion]

Amazing memories Colin!

[@aburasosman8790]

1:48 Sudan airways 👌

[@markdalton4847]

Brings back memories of catching the Sudan airways 707’s to boarding school Rome-London Heathrow. They had two of them at the time. One was called “Blue Nile” and the other one (you guessed it), White Nile. They seamed to be almost brand new back then in 1974.

[@atilllathehun1212]

OMG. When everything wasn't just a twin engine tube...What times.........

[@dongilberth]

Fantástico...todo ése ruido es una descarga como sólo METALICA podría hacerlo!!me encantó,, gracias..desde Tolima Colombia.

[@gregdark5203]

This is an awsome video. Especially the Boeing 707 push-back. Great upload.

[@classicairlineractionfromavion]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lelekoJumboJet]

Soooo good!

[@efrenrodriguez4329]

I flew some of those, I remember flying from Madrid to Barcelona on a 727 as a kid and coming down a rear built-in stair case that would drop to the ground.

[@superflanker1234]

Comet Mk.4...!!!!beautiful...

[@riteshmahaj251]

the good times 😢

[@socaljarhead7670]

Oh man, that American SP! Brilliantly stubby!

[@ScoobyMoony]

Jaguar with Ryanair logo on the engines. Wow

[@Perejil1319]

Would be nice if you identified the Make and Model of each. Some are obvious but some test this old timer’s memory!

[@RobSmith-mv6rz]

Takes me back. My first flight Eastern Airlines 727 Whisperjet Toronto to Fort Lauderdale via Philli. Lots of 727 flights, then a DC-10, 737 -7,8, A319, lots of Bombardier Q400. Alway regret not being able to fly on the 747. Lived adjacent to a major flight path in Toronto and remember watching and dreaming about flying.

[@AndreiTupolev]

2:47is a Convair 880 or 990 isn't it? The amount of smoke it makes even taxiing 😂

[@kevinvilleneuve5030]

Convair 880. 990s had the big “speedpods” on top of the wings.

[@alexfinns6162]

Awesome stuff

[@gebe8978]

02:27 lovely 747 SP... totally looks like a teckel disguised as a plane

[@paulthomas7902]

VC10 touch and go ❤

[@SopwithTheCamel]

Some if these were built before Pontius was a pilot, the Dead Sea had not reported sick, and Mac one was a raincoat.

[@kalutaralegalassociates9314]

Wow ! Thanks

[@stevenkeating225]

Not a Hi-vis jacket insight.

[@CorporateJetpilot]

The Convair 990 is a super super rare catch

[@jurgenschneller8478]

Ein wahrer Leckerbissen! Eine Beschreibung der Fluggeräte (Typ) wäre gut gewesen.

[@billybellend1155]

I don’t think I would really want a ride in that Sudan Airways 707, wtf happened to it nose cone? 😅

[@jettnit1]

Yeah Smokie & noisy✈️👍

[@arufai]

Were is Ghana airways dc10? 😅

[@classicairlineractionfromavion]

At Heathrow

[@Jenairaslebol27merde]

great compilation, especially the last clip was awesome - a comet with actual sound (i hope it is..) is quite rare! wow :) ... btw, is this cologne airport? in the background you can see what might be the kölner dom .. ;)

[@classicairlineractionfromavion]

Thank you @Jenairaslebol27merde. The Comet sound is accurate. There is a Comet at Bruntingthorpe in the UK that is occasionally taxiied and the sound came from that. The airport is Berlin-Tegel.

[@Th3_GG]

1.24 is b737-100 or b737-200

[@classicairlineractionfromavion]

737-200.

[@1960dave1960]

That Sudan Airways B707 looked a bit rough….hope it got there okay…..😊

[@lakewoodil]

Me too. Looked more like a worn out piece of ground equipment!

[@williamlaxton7126]

Yes, it was rough. I remember my days as a cabin cleaner at Heathrow working on this particular Sudan airways 707. The captain laid his prayer Matt outside the cockpit when he came on board. A sick passenger was on this plane when we came on board once. They had removed three rows of seats and placed a rather dirty old mattress for him to lay on. Cockroaches were everywhere on this plane , not just in the galley. I maybe wrong but I think it crashed on a cargo flight somewhere in Africa. The 707 was replaced with a 737 for a short while and that plane was also lacking in hygiene/ and impossible to clean properly on a short turnaround.

[@panhakhmer6224]

i like your video😂

The Boeing 707 is the oldest jet

The last one was a comet……which is older.

@@SuperEdge67 the 707 is oldest jet by Boeing the dehavilland comet is older the 707 came out in 1958 and the comet came out in 1949
