[@VBHB83]

Rightio cobba 28L is where we gonna put this thing mate so landing checklist plz mate.

[@spoor24]

Hahaha almost an exact quote 😂

[@beagle7622]

“What did you say Mick” ,almost like a line from Crocodile Dundee. I live in Melbourne. Good landing too.

[@davidevison3851]

Auto Brake’s…. 60 knots Blah Blah Blah… 🤣😂 love it

[@JoyoSnooze]

"Autobrake, 60 knots, blah blah blah..." God bless Aussie pilots :D

[@fos1019]

Thanks for including all the ground maneuvers, it’s rare to find a flight deck video that includes all that. The conversation was entertaining too 😃 I miss the Queen of the Skies. Such a beauty!

[@spoor24]

Thanks for watching my friend!

[@speedbird2166]

Nice Virgin 19 on approach and the mighty speedbird going round

[@kymw7833]

Well that was the best commentary from the flight deck we Aussies do to so easy and Qantas is the best I love seeing the Kangaroo on the tail at the Airport when your overseas it's home Kym Adelaide

[@davidcole333]

That lineup for 28R was insane! I've never seen it that backlogged.

[@spoor24]

Very busy for 28L!!

[@AlonsoRules]

21 lined up there, damn

[@slobama]

What a line up of planes waiting to take off!

[@gtr603]

@ 9:21 absolute rippa - "get back in ya box"

[@Yk3d05bm]

that bloke is a national treasure! 🤣😂😂

[@soujrnr]

Wow. The departure backlog was quite large. Loved the landing and couldn't help but also be amazed at the way the controller handled the traffic. Kudos to ALL who are controllers. My friend was an ATC back in the 80s when I started my flying lessons and I used to go visit him in the tower and was always amazed at how things just flowed and how those guys and gals were so professional and so concentrated. What a tremendous responsibility!! Thanks to you all, pilots and ATC alike.

[@spoor24]

They do an amazing job!

[@AlonsoRules]

1R was closed

[@supremacypictures]

Beautiful landing and interesting Aussie commentary. You don’t realise how high the 747 is from the ground until you see the ground crew walking around at the end. More please!

[@spoor24]

Edward Nguyen thank you! yeah the cockpit is deceptively high off the ground.

[@CraZy291]

Great sense of humor there

[@Michael.Chapman]

Brilliant! The -400 provides such a superb cockpit experience... a joy to watch and a bit sad too to see first the -438, then the rarer -438ER, disappear from our Aussie fleet.

[@spoor24]

It’s very sad indeed 🙁

[@Daluke61]

"Busy"? Agreed. Looked like at least 13 in line on the taxi to 28L. Looks like fun.

[@aussieboi82]

Just fantastic

[@rubes3927]

Aussie flight decks, best out there 😂👍🏻

[@spoor24]

Always nice to have a touch of home in a foreign land!

[@michaelhayden725]

That ground taxi trip was longer than the flight

[@spoor24]

Hahaha worth it just to hear ATC own those pilots

[@johnsmith-xm4mp]

done this trip many times . Great !!!

[@spoor24]

Glad you enjoyed John!

[@Godzilla32]

Great video, classic cockpit chat on the way in :D

[@Aussienewslover]

Props on the parking and taxiing.

[@sairon63]

Thank you for not cutting the taxiing after the landing.

[@Sirarl]

Awsome stuff mate, I love watching these.

[@redsrollingnow1]

Great video guys - thanks a lot! 😎👍😎

[@Robochop-vz3qm]

Awesome footage, long taxi to the gate. Very enjoyable, cheers. 🇦🇺👍

[@mccloysong]

when the flight from Sydney was easier than the taxi to the gate :D

[@jwcorcoran9838]

I think I’m responsible for at least 1K of the views on this video, love it!

[@spoor24]

Glad you enjoyed mate!

[@sunny19899]

Nice 4K must say.

[@Yk3d05bm]

As a proud aussie and a fellow pilot I thoroughly enjoyed this video, God bless aussies! Blah Blah spat out my coffee!

[@spoor24]

Maybe the title of this video should be blah blah blah!!

[@johnbrown-rm8kc]

Awesome Video Maate !!

[@what_up777]

That 28L que is nothing new. Even way back in 98' I remember flying out the pilot announced we'd be number 14 for departure.

[@spoor24]

Happens when they close a departure runway!!

[@CraZy291]

V1 is freedom...

[@eliteclassicdetailing]

Great video really injoyed watching it

[@orangejuicepony6881]

11:18 "Better crank it Dave, in case it conks out" - its not an on holden mate! 😂😂

[@idrive1755]

First officer gets to taxi?? That’s neat! My plane doesn’t even have a right seat tiller

[@spoor24]

Can’t give the captain too much to do right?! They’re getting old 😂

[@PurpleGlxy_Official]

I flew on the exact same qantas plane to sfo on the 18th 2018

[@angussmith4914]

Auto break 60kts blah blah blah was amazing ahahah!

[@markmullan8100]

Great Video 👌

[@yiannitheodorakopoulos4070]

Lovely landing Skip, Nothing beats the mighty jumbo! What date was this flight on?

[@spoor24]

20JUL19!

[@yiannitheodorakopoulos4070]

@@spoor24 Awesome, how cool Skip! I flew a 747 2 days prior, it was OEF on 18JUL19 to HND with Cpt Khoo. If you don't mind me asking may I ask for your name skip? If you have any more cockpit videos, please post away. They are the best to watch. I got sent the jump-seat videos from the FO not operating ex SYD joy-flight but in the jump, which was absolutely amazing.

[@spoor24]

Yianni Theodorakopoulos oh yep that’s great!! I’m the captain’s son, but his name is Graham Spoor. He’s retired now but still misses flying that great plane!

[@yiannitheodorakopoulos4070]

@@spoor24 Awesome buddy! Ah ok, Ive heard of a Spoor. Sad he's retired now, but I am sure it was a good long ride. Well done to him, pass on a thank you to him for his service. P.s I love his strong Aussie accent in the video, the Qantas said Quuunntas, and the slang. Love seeing the boys in action in the FD. :)

[@spoor24]

Yianni Theodorakopoulos mate very nice of you. He says thank you very much and he’s glad you enjoyed watching it :)

[@eagle1107flyer]

Geez that line was loooooong

[@Ibigoo]

taxiway J is permanently closed? as i see it is not avail in this video, no centerline as well, also seems unused and blocked on satelite views. anyway, that was an interesting zig-zag on H.

[@owenmeyer1305]

Are those cameras at the top of the window? Filming the pilots?

[@spoor24]

No but it does look like it doesn’t it!

[@lreid2495]

Fuck yeah, hahaha

[@AlonsoRules]

check out that lineup

[@mwd331]

Auto brakes, 60 knots blah blah blah 😂

[@spoor24]

😉

[@lachmaclean2383]

There was a Qantas pilot who had a few of these clips and a couple of years ago, they all vanished. By any chance was this the same person?

[@spoor24]

Lach Maclean not me unfortunately Lach!!

[@YCOMNSW]

I think that was JB... once either the viewers figured out who he was (the OJK incident) he removed his videos. First he disabled comments

[@TH-nc1gj]

Did the FO do the takeoff out of Sydney ?

[@spoor24]

I can’t remember sorry mate!

[@iuvcalls8565]

RIP quantas' 747 fleet.

[@spoor24]

Very sad indeed. Not just Qantas but almost all airlines as passenger aircraft 🙁

[@parko4237]

Is it a yoke in the newer qantas planes or do they use a joystick now?

[@spoor24]

Pzrky In general, almost all Boeing aircraft have yokes and almost all Airbus aircraft have joysticks!

[@ricturtle]

Boeing is yoke only, airbus has side joysticks

[@jimdean294]

Can u imagine being ATC???

[@jimdean294]

And why not color coordinate the centerlines so planes wont "hit that fence" ya know, according to plane...

[@admiralbenbow5083]

Methinks Frisco might like to invest in another runway?

[@OliDeu]

More than 15 planes waiting to line-up on 28L !!!

[@spoor24]

It’s like when you close a busy road for roadworks!

[@elmin2323]

Skygods

[@noelio67]

20 planes waiting to take off 🤣

[@rileygilles2736]

Surprised this wasn’t an accident video
