I was 15 when this video came out from PilotEyes. Still have the Bluray at parents house ! Even in 2024, it's still one the best cockpit video ever made

[@fared___3409]

I cant believe I watch the entire 2hours documentary of an unimaginable journey of a highly respected pilot in aviation. What an inspiration for me to be "live a dream".

[@OberfeldwebelShultze]

As a kid i used to watch pilotseye on a local tv on the late nights. Now i am a pilot leaving the dream of flight.

[@wuciwucci4374]

Zweifellos ist der Airbus A380 ein geniales Stück Ingenieurskunst. Dieser Doppeldecker wird immer mein Favorit bleiben. Vielen Dank für diese schöne Dokumentation, in der auch der letzte Flug von Kapitän Jürgen Raps zu sehen ist. Ich hatte das zunächst nicht erwartet, da ich dachte, dies wäre nur ein gewöhnliches Cockpit-Video, aber im Laufe des Videos lag ich falsch. Letztendlich ist dies eine herausragende und besondere Dokumentation. Ich genieße sie die ganze Zeit über sehr, mit ein paar emotionalen Stellen. Vielen Dank, Kapitän Raps. Sie haben das gut gemacht. Ihre Geschichte wird viele zukünftige deutsche Piloten inspirieren, ebenso engagiert, fleißig und beharrlich zu sein, um vorbildliche Leistungen für die Menschen und die Nation zu erbringen. Möge Gott Sie und Ihre Familie segnen.

[@TheE71462]

Amen

[@marksolomon8099]

I remember pushing back out of LAX and seeing Jürgen Raps riding his Harley Davidson on the ramp | I think he is the only person ever to do this

[@JohnMitch]

This year I had the pleasure of taking a flight on a LH A380. My first time on a A380.... Fantastic aircraft, so quiet in the cabin, so smooth. I loved it

[@tomwellard8234]

Brilliant best aviation documentary I've seen, happy retirement captain

[@tba1453]

The footage is good. Doesnt look like it was taken 13 years ago

[@samielbaz972]

Thank you for sharing. Hope there's more Pilotseye tv films coming.

[@rodney6610]

If Captain Raps is watching this, I hope you're enjoying your retirement and your Arizona white asparagus!

[@freddiehull9324]

whoever music produced the mash up 1:26 is unsung hero

[@karing5276]

Phenomenal video footage!! LH is #1 with aerial videos as well as onboard service! My grandmother flew on LH from Frankfurt to JFK in 1963 and I was just a child of 7 years old when we saw her land at JFK to come to live with us in New York, Queens Long Island. I regret I missed my calling to become an airline pilot.

[@comicart3235]

I were looking so long for the hole video! Tanks so much!

[@WINGSANDRAILS]

same here!

[@bielg99]

What an amazing crew. Specially the captain!

[@steini6771]

Greetings from Norway. This was just FAB! Ohhh, the climb out and right turn at that FL passing Golden Gates was spectacular. Loved every minute. Thank you all and enjoy your retirement, Captain Raps.

[@jonanaimo]

Must be retired about 13 years now. Wonder what Captain Jürgen flies these days. Whatever he's doing, he's living the dream rather than dreaming the life, undoubtedly.

[@johannesmaier368]

he wanted to learn how to fly a helicopter

[@jan-ericheldt7754]

He lives in Arizona

[@jonanaimo]

Thanks for the further info. He did mention AZ in the vid. Flying a helicopter would be cool. Brings to mind that I rode next to the pilot in a helicopter into the Grand Canyon. Loved it.

[@RolandKnall]

The plane is only 13 years old, therefore he can't be retired for 13 years. But it is some time yes.

[@murali5247]

I am seeing this perhaps 13 years since it was posted. Surprisingly clear and of course very informative . Thank you very much ..Wishing the retiring (retired) captain a very healthy and contented “ retirement”.

[@robertlalor8090]

Without doubt, the best aviation vlog I've seen. Onwards and upwards Captain Raps and your team

[@Chickenlegs836]

DANKE SCHON CAPT RAPS👍🙏😉Proud to be 🇩🇪 watching you & your crew providing excellent service 👍 Flown on A380 in the past you & A380 are true leaders & legends in the aviation industry. Hope you are enjoying your well earned retirement 👍😉🇩🇪. TY FOR YOUR SERVICE 👍Blessings 🙏🌸🌼🌺

[@crew-dog2668]

One of my favorite videos. I assume the first officer is a captain. Any updates on him?

[@chuckfrezzel348]

Absolutely perfect! Well done Captain 🫡

[@jeffto23ify]

That was unbelievable to watch i loved every minute it never seemed that long it flew by . Happy retirement Captain

[@sharoncassell5273]

Great set up. Congrats.

[@Violinvelocity]

United tulip, Virgin America, Cactus callsign... this video is old skool!

[@juuuwi]

Tolles Video, wie es das tollste Passagierflugzeug der Neuzeit in vielen Facetten beleuchtet und einen super Piloten. ! Danke für dieses tolle Erlebnis .

[@santana261]

Great footage, a really big dream.. I hope one day will fly on this plane.

[@craiggilchrist4223]

Respect Sir.

[@greglipschitz]

Congratulations on your wonderful career. Enjoy your time on two wheels and golfing :)

[@santiamato4005]

Raps is my hero, nice to see this full version here

[@rolandpokorny2813]

Schönes Video, vielen Dank!

[@danooo3215]

What a pleasant captains address to the cabin

[@markbradley2367]

What a nice gentleman.

[@garystewart3110]

Very cool thanks!

[@tetttettamilli6761]

Excellent 👌👍... That "hole in one" looks...edited.

[@ciarankelly4338]

Miss Capt Raps videos and hope he is enjoying retirement. Greetings from Ireland and do visit here now that you have plenty of time!

[@joshuajuarez3471]

Very cool.

[@malcolmlewis3967]

wunderbar !

[@ufogovernment6039]

amazing

[@francesca4966]

Fabuleux 🤩

[@zskippythebushkangaroo3989]

Very good video 👏👏👍..

[@romeo166166]

I flew several times with LH454, it was always a pleasure to be on the flight. Is it true that A380 is no longer flying this route?

[@santoshkumarsingh8432]

प्रणाम।

[@MyEmpire91]

Dem SFO sollte mal jemand das Funken beibringen.

[@edmoore3910]

So much for the "sterile" cockpit rule!!

[@jorgtungler7348]

Guten Abend, Frankfurt Flughafen,ist von mir Bad Homburg,nur 30 Kilometer entfernt. Wir fliegen regelmäßig USA Seattle,Las Vegas Nonstop.

[@bastiaanstapelberg9018]

1.29.30 je weet de Amerikanen verlangen een juiste 'Read back' zoals ook op de opleiding wordt geleerd.

[@willyegli9290]

LUFTHANSA - exzellente Airline wie die die SWISS🇨🇭 Herzlichen Dank aus der🇨🇭

[@WINGSANDRAILS]

ground in SFO at gate is German??

[@msaavgeek99]

I don’t believe after a long time I got the complete video of this please also send the LH455 from KSFO - EDDF

[@ibtisaam685]

bumpy landing

[@GIANNHSPEIRAIAS]

agent smith really went out of his way to become a pilot

[@tomarmstrong1281]

As with all Retirees, there come many mixed emotions, not least the realisation of what I will do with a lifetime of collected experience; some now outdated but some still very relevant.

[@m.demirel5175]

Thanks...TURKIYE.

[@racecar06]

✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈

[@ghostrider-be9ek]

sad - back when SFO was a nice place only 10-15 years back

[@MOQUIWX]

ok

[@christianbayerstein5243]

Em ende sieht man, da war tatsächlich noch die Rutsche in der Business Class des A380 eingebaut, zum Glück wurde der Fehler schon 2014 korrigiert, sonst hätte der Lufthansa A380 so geendet wie der Air France A380, für den seine Rutsche in der Business Class schon 2019 das Aus bedeutete.

[@gabrielgabriel3580]

Damals hieß sie noch 25R und nicht 25C Wow

[@HugoStiglitz48]

Für meinen Geschmack geht der Herr Raps etwas zu arrogant mit der Ground Crew um. Das sind auch nur Menschen. Mit seiner riesigen Erfahrung sollte da etwas mehr Gelassenheit sein.

[@ByT1mothy]

Naja, oft wirken Kapitäne so, ist aber nie so gemeint, sind meist die nettesten Menschen. Oft kommt auch die Anspannung dazu…

[@davidanderson1889]

It's a scary thought to have a pilot at the controls that can't do basic math LOL :-))

[@Bro-wb4yr]

Be humble

[@BIG_RIG_TV]

Sit down 🎶

[@TheE71462]

Who does he think he is? A movie star? He's just a bus driver...

[@martijnm4905]

Busdrivers also deserve a bit of recognition after long years of serving their passengers without accidents

[@Ometecuhtli]

You are not very intelligent if you think that's just a bus driver.

[@matthiashartge5520]

If flying an aircraft is as simple as driving a bus, why don't you try it? And Mr Raps btw was not just any pilot but Chief Captain for Lufthansas A380 fleet, first LH instructor for the A380 and a manager in the executive board of the airline. Go achieve that yourself. Then you can judge him ;)
