Hey there ;) I'm German and yes, we can get emotional too. To answer your question: This pilot is a legend in aviation. His name is Jürgen Raps, also known as "Captain JR". He was Chiefpilot of the German Lufthansa and he flew 41 years in total. He was the first airline-pilot worldwide with a flight license for the A380. When you count all his flights together, he flew about 15 million kilometers in total. Hes has my total respect!

[@Br4m76]

Lukas_Zed Aviation how many flight hours that he has obtained?

[@QiuyuanChenRyan916]

@@Br4m76 You have distance, all you need is the typical flight speed in the sky and you have a rough number surely.

[@hydrolox4928]

He flew for 41 years???????? He has officially earned all of my respect!

[@Production1992nr2]

[@Production1992nr2]

He was the chiefpilot at Lufthansa for the B737 Fleet and then A380 Fleet, also He has flying the first A380 for Lufthansa. From Toulouse to Frankfurt. He was the Teachor for over 600 Pilots in their education. He also was the first West-German Pilot to Land in DDR (GDR). He was flying the first Cargo Plane (DC-10) and the first B737 in the 1970's. He was flying over 1400 intercontinental flights and has over 19.000 Flight hours. And after 41 years in active he said with 60 goodbye 😊

[@11SEXMACHINE]

man that part when he took his jacket off and took off his bars and his wings got me. This was the top guy in the entire fleet and stood there in front of everyone and did that. I respect him and I live in Florida. I didn't understand a word but understood everything though.

[@eardrumbuzzer4672]

Jurgen Raps....such a charismatic and clearly beloved pilot by so many. His characteristics crack me up. Had he ever been Captain on any flight I was on, I would know that I was in very good and safe hands. He is a man very passionate about flying and a consummate professional. I wish him nothing but more happiness in his retirement.

[@delf197810]

He has a face and smile that makes you feel comfortable and travel around the world without worrying about anything.

[@dceballos067]

I never met the man, nor flew on any of his flights in which he was at the controls (at least, I don't I have), but I got to know Jurgen Raps through the many, many videos I watched here on KZbin, from beginning to end and many I've repeated cause it never got boring or repetitive for me. You sir, are a great pilot and Lufthansa is saying "goodbye" to an elite pilot of the A380. Thank you sir for your many hours of service in the air, getting people where they needed to go safely and efficiently. May you enjoy your many years of retirement.

[@niboe301]

Da ist einer der Ganz Ganz Großen gegangen! Was er in 41 Jahren geleistet hat, wird ihm so schnell keiner nachmachen. Hut ab vor diesem Piloten!

[@Amonginsanity]

CONGRATULATIONS to Captain Juergen Raps on his retirement and reaching a milestone in his more than 41 years long career. I have seen a few of his videos from the cockpits and saw his interview on his retirement just a short while ago. Captain Raps is an absolutely amazing pilot and an inspiring professional who served aviation industry and particularly his company in an exemplary fashion. He achieved in his career what millions could only dream of. If he does not serve Lufthansa or aviation industry any more, then his departure is a monumental loss of this industry. His experience and knowledge must not just go away with him only because he has now retired. As he has trained hundreds of pilots during his career, I do hope he continues sharing his knowledge and experience somehow for the good of this and future generations to come as long as he comfortably can. My best wishes to Captain Raps and thank you Sir for your services.

[@pClydep]

i'm seventeen and live in the united states, to be quite honest Jurgen Raps has made me feel and know aviation in a very different and positive way. he has finally made me know more about my future career and how fun its gonna be. This shows that you've really influenced a lot of people and that we are all proud of you.

[@GrowingPothos]

So what happened?

Jürgen war einer der ersten Piloten, der mir eine Landung im Cockpit ermöglichte. VIELEN DANK dafür und alles gute!

Danke für den Clip, ein echter Motivator auch in anderen Berufen. :-)

[@petercrosswind4936]

This is now the third story I see about a captain of Lufthansa and every story is enviable full of emotions, every captain is humble and admirable and Lufthansa can really be proud to have such women and men as pilots who pass on their knowledge and charisma to the next generation !!👍

[@taharbenseddik5607]

I can imagine that if it's time to stop with flying it can be very emotional for a pilot. After all flying was in his/her blood, the love of their life, what they loved to do for living. Thumb up from The Netherlands.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

Happy ground time, Capt. Raps, thank you for your long service, and may you have a long and enjoyable retirement! We love you here in America! (I've been watching Capt. Jurgen Raps from Frankfurt into SFO and San Francisco into Frankfurt and his final flight. What a great man, I like the humor in his eyes, his happy, easy manner, and the fact that his father was a pilot and he was interested in aviation at the age of 5, and continued his interest through his 41-year career. He explained some ups and downs of the career but also how much he has enjoyed it. I love that they had a little farewell in the aircraft. He certainly had the respect of his colleagues and had many "Happy Landings.." I got tears at the end and I didn't even know what he was saying! ) Carry on, Captain!

[@Martin-Freude]

Ein Pilot mit Seltenheitswert. Fröhlich und alle Parameter, die es zum Fliegen braucht, hat er integriert. Er lebt diesen Beruf. Ganz anders, als bei vielen anderen KZbin Beiträgen aus dem Cockpit. Da spürt man, das die meisten Flugzeugführer einfach nur das gesamte Procedere auswendig gelernt haben. Sie sind weit weg, von der kompetenten Entspannung, die Jürgen Raps ausstrahlt. So ähnlich, wie bei vielen Medizinern. Die können Pillen und Salben verschreiben - mehr nicht. Große Klasse dieser Mann. Ihm gebührt mein voller Respekt und Anerkennung !

[@korayulutas2526]

What a delightful experience to watch this Pilot and a party he clearly deserved. HE was my inspiration to learn to identify aircraft model & design and (prior to 9/11) I listened to the cockpit every time I flew.

What an amazing send-off....watched this almost five times, back to back! One day, in a future not far from now, I hope to finally achieve my dream of becoming a pilot. I want to spend the rest of my life in the clouds; bring joy to people, connect families, experience life, interact with people from all races and possibly, achieve at least a half of what Retired Captain Raps has. I understand zero from the speeches and the keynote speakers due to language barrier, but, I understand the emotions. I felt it all. What a life well lived & experienced. All the best in your retirement Captain! With admiration, from Nairobi, Kenya.
