POWERFUL TAKEOFF | Qantas 747-438(ER) Onboard Takeoff Melbourne - [VH-OEJ]

[@Robbie_Wozzlegummich]

Always amazes me how much of a workout the wings get on takeoff. As well as taking all the engine thrust they have to flex up and down - and they're full of fuel! Incredible engineering.

[@ymmlspottingteam]

+Robbie Anderson It sure is amazing, I still can't get my head around it.. Simply phenomenal!

[@JimAirPlanespotting]

Brings back great memories! This 747 used to be a frequent visitor in Athens. I have flown many times with her! HUGE like!

[@ymmlspottingteam]

Great Video Bud. Awesome sound, shame it wasn't RRs, but ah well the GE CF6s still sound great.

[@ymmlspottingteam]

+scotrail82 I was also a bit disappointed but the Extended Range 747s in QF's fleet only have CF6s and we required the ER model for this flight

[@jamiecampbell1681]

[@ymmlspottingteam]

Same situation down in Melbourne when taxiing to runway 16 :)

[@CJetsPlanespotting]

Amazing video mate! Did you have a nice flight?

[@ymmlspottingteam]

+CJets Plane Spotting Thanks, sure did!!

[@syedhoque8009]

Awesome Takeoff! :-) How was Antarctica? There are glaciers, icebergs and Emperor Penguin Colonies.

[@ymmlspottingteam]

+Syed Hoque Antarctica was amazing!! Full vid coming this weekend :D

[@peterchajo]

Awesome so whats that special flight were you selected or something

[@ymmlspottingteam]

+SydneyAirportCapturer HL Yep!

[@astra686]

A heavy load of fuel but also no baggage!!!!

[@ymmlspottingteam]

+astra686 Very true!

[@ghaliblaskar4319]

While taking off this aircraft did not make a Roaring sound really very surprising!

[@vaughanwilliamson173]

Nice work guys! Can I ask what camera you were using and in particular, how do you hold the camera steady against all the bumps that occur when taxiing? I tried a hand held video camera on night and day sequences and both suffered from excessive camera bounce, even with the "anti-shake" software used after. Is it as simple as placing the camera on the window sill and letting the camera bounce with the aircraft giving the impression that all is smooth? I would appreciate your comments so I can try better next time (I rarely get to fly... sniff...).

[@ymmlspottingteam]

+Vaughan Williamson Thanks mate, i try keep the camera 'floating' in my hands, absorb the bumps of the aircraft. Don't rest the camera against the wall/window etc as it adds a lot of vibration. I suggest relaxing as much as you can, and trying to keep movement fluid. Hope this helps!!

[@hanssamson5436]

where were u heading to?

[@ymmlspottingteam]

+Hans Grant Antarctica sightseeing flight

[@thedarren7442]

Were you seated in Business class?

[@ymmlspottingteam]

+PlanesLOVER787 Unfortunately not, just the very first row of premium economy :)

[@ghaliblaskar4319]

Is this aircraft powered by rolls royce Rb-211 engine?
