Awesome Loud 747SP Take-Off in Hamburg

[@sx64man]

This aircraft could get you across the pond JFK-LIS in 5 1/4 hours without breaking a sweat. Had the privilege to be in one when TWA replaced a broken L1011 for a flight back in the 80s. The takeoff was quick and felt unlike other commercial airliners.

[@sriramramamoorthy1589]

Cannot think of a better plane than this SP, as the name mentions everything is special in it, the extra long and strong vertical stabilizer, for its size its still given 4 power plants , its got two passenger levels even though its smaller in size, for sure its a collector's air plane made for pleasure and comfort putting economy at the back seat.

[@encinobalboa]

And higher service ceiling than standard. If the SP had gotten the -400 wing and power plant upgrades, it would be a rocket.

[@freddieramos1545]

Honey,I shrunk the 747

[@Mark-st7mp]

Definitely the ugliest plane ever built by Boeing. And this is not meant as a joke!

Spectacular baby jumbo. More power of their engines. Amazing! 😃👍🏻

What an awesome bird... wish there could be more still flying... 👍

[@goldleader2804]

Probably one of my favorite airframes ever. Lucky to have seen one.

[@davidca96]

The SP was so cool, its super oversized tail and stubby body. Its real fast too.

[@sadikmeah4057]

Looks like it has shrunk in the wash.

[@DannoAviation]

SP by name, SP by nature… amazing takeoff, the sound of those engines!

Honestly the 747SP is so underrated

[@radwi69]

Oh, Gorgeous masterpiece with Rolls Royce engines, in Royalty!

[@jerry150686]

One of the very few RR engined SP's. 50 or 55 SP built, only a couple with RB211 engines!

[@visionist7]

45 built. Most of the RR engined ones went to Qantas I believe

[@an1473]

Very loud take-off indeed.

[@djSp00ky]

RB211-524 best engines ever on a 747 :)

[@inselvideo]

Geniale Aufnahmen!Daumen hoch!Hätte ich auch gern mal gefilmt!Gruss inselvideo!

[@turbofanlover]

Nice catch!! I have never seen one of these SP's before. I don't think there are many left in service.

[@dave4shmups]

Awesome catch! It's great to see governments like Bahrain and Oman keeping these classic 747s in the air! I wonder what the bulge on top of the plane is for?

Lovely aircraft! My fantasy would be to own a decommissioned Luxury Boeing 747SP parked in a private field I own, and used as a permanent residence. 😃👍

[@walkbyfeet]

Klasse Video! Der Abhebepunkt war ja perfekt für Dich!

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Ganz tolle Aufnahmen der 747SP und ein wirklich netter Sound! Auf dem Taxiway herrschte zu der Zeit ja Hochbetrieb - sieht man auch nicht so oft.

[@AirborneRenegade]

I kinda want to know why this is the only variant of the 747 without a Freighter version avaliable. I mean sure I get its short but it could get in and out of small airports with heavier loads than some aircraft.

[@markk9137]

The 747SP was built for airlines as a long-range airliner. At the time, there wasn't a demand for long-range freighters so they never built them in a freighter configuration. Only 45 747SP variants were ever built and with several being destroyed in crashes or other incidents, there were not many to convert into freighters after service as airliners. Also, the 747SP was not very fuel-efficient, meaning that the cost of operating one was extremely high. Seeing as there were more 747 models that were cheaper to run and larger in capacity, no freight company purchased a 747SP. Hope this helped.

It’s so cute ❤

[@manifestgtr]

I'm surprised no ones really talking about that dome....does anyone know what the deal is with that thing?

[@godzillaman235]

It's functions in the same way as a satellite antenna, for connection and such.

[@shazf18]

[@TARS..]

manifestgtr It's just an aerodynamic fairing for anything like a radar to an antenna

[@datathunderstorm]

High quality satellite communications antenna pod similar to the technology used by Airforce One and the US military.

Hey, isn't that jumbo somewhat shorter?

[@zamorajohana]

I thought that B747SP-Z5 looks like a military variant, like why she has an extra hump and some slightly different antennas. Similar to the Boeing E-4.
