Huge respect for the engineers to the pilots to the ground staff. It's almost inconceivable that humanity has this elegant mode of transport with so much safety.
My Father was a 747 captain for United Airlines out of LAX. He captained the 747 from 1972 until his mandatory retirement at age 60 in 1981. He flew many times to JFK during that span, too bad I don't have a video of him like this one. The avionics at that time were much different. No high tech computer systems like today, mostly guages and the stick shaker, which he said would go off at times and he would ignore it becasue he said it was invalid, not sure I understand but thats what he said. My father climbed the ladder of commercial aviation history like none could today. He trained on an open cockpit biplane. He began his airline career in 1942 at age 21 as 1st officer on a DC-3 with Pennsylvania Central Airlines. Within two years he was DC-3 captain. Pennsylvania Central eventually became Capital Airlines in 1948 where he captained the DC-4, DC-6, L-049 Constellation, and Vickers Viscount (the first turbo-prop airliner). In 1961 Capital Airlines merged with United Airlines where he went on to captain the Boeing 720, the DC-8, the Stretch DC-8, the DC-10, and finally the B-747 which flew from 1972 until his mandatory retirement at age 60 1981. He experienced the full evolution of commercial flight, airline pilot for 39 years and Captain for 37 years. No airline pilot over the last 50 years could experience the revolution and massive change of commercial flight like my father did. He just recently passed away in 2019 at age 97. He was one of the last of the old school breed of pilots.
Thank you very much for this biographical comment! Your father had a very venerable life and witnessed technological evolution like few others in their lifetime!
My dad was a Capital and United pilot based in Detroit, Chicago and finally Denver until his mandatory retirement in 1979. I'm sure our fathers crossed paths. He loved to fly.
i never want to take the ability to travel by plane for granted. the technology, the brilliance, the mechanics, the physics, the pilots' training. Guys, never take all of this for granted. It's way more amazing than we take it for. its incredible. how cool we are to live in this time. Thank you to everyone who worked to bring this together from the beginning to the moment I take my seat and soar into the sky.
It's a gratifyingly huge privilege to have such a view point. Thank you so much for allowing us to have such amazing point of views. Your channel is amazing. Thank you Captain!
@@susanwestwood-cosmicconscious So do I my daughters asked me why I get so excited and fascinating when I see a plane near either departing or close to landing.
Flying on the 747 has always just felt different to me -- not only from any other Boeing model but any other type of airplane, period. I don't know if it's the distinctive shape, that spiral staircase, the upstairs cabin or those four massive engines -- or maybe just the aura and nostalgia of the plane itself. Most other passenger planes feel like little more than buses with wings (though I will say the DC-3 is another exception -- I loved flying on those old birds around New England back in the 1980s. Like the 747, a distinctive plane full of character.) Whatever it is, boarding a 747 has always made any flight -- even those for boring business trips -- feel like an adventure.
@@creativecolourful4664 I've never flown in one so I can't speak to its in-flight feel, but the 380 certainly has a distinctive profile with its double-decker design. I don't find it as attractive or as streamlined as the 747 but definitely an impressive sight. Of course it's been an economic boondoggle for Airbus, which probably should have known better when it began plans for it way back in the '80s. Halting production was the right call, no question, but there will still be more than 200 of these massive birds in the air for many years to come.
New York City has a unique beauty to it. Especially for me because I grew up there. The interaction of sunlight, clouds and the ocean around it gives the morning sky a special orange glow. Long Island, the Far Rockaways, Lido Beach, Sheep's Head Bay. All the places I have been to growing up there as a kid, all the friends, all the memories. It is a special, beautiful, place for me.
This is just unbelievable. Like these guys literally woke up, ate frosted flakes for breakfast, and and told the wife and kids “hey i godda make a run across the country im be home by 5. Just outstanding and amazing
lol. I fly the 747. Most of the time when I wake up at home prior to a trip it's about 2am. My wife and kids are fast asleep. But when we go on a trip we will be gone one to three weeks at a time. Remember, the 747 is a long haul aircraft. I'll take off from Cincinnati and land in Narita Japan 14 hours later. Not getting back the same day.
@@jrmyl well in general just waking up In a hotel and saying at 6 a.m " *yawn* welp, let me hop in the shower to get ready to fly this 6 billion dollar aircraft with 80 people I don't know of; hopefully things will go smooth today. Once I land, I'll go grab a pizza" 💀💀💀 that is just crazy hopefully your company is paying you well
Theres no aircraft in the world thats approaches that cost. A new 747 list price 5 years ago was roughly 230 million $. That cost takes around 7-10 years to recoup most airliners are in service for at least 30 years some over 50 years.
Totally awesome. I had the pleasure to fly in a 747 once in my life, from Frankfurt, Germany to Canada. I will never forget the sense of awe that I felt at take-off, as I experienced the enormous power and thrust, unlike any other plane I'd ever been in. What a fabulous airplane in every way.
I flew it as well from Los Angeles to Amsterdam and down to Nairobi and return flight back to LA. Comfortable safe and an engineering marvel to fathom. 💪 💪 💯
What could be more exciting than throttle up a 747 feeling the power of the engines immediately pinning you to the seat as they orchestrate the music of your life behind you. They are even capable of transforming me into a poet. Thanks for the video, commander.
I got to watch you guys and gals first hand many times in my career as an air traffic controller; it is truly amazing what we all do (did in my case). As I a pilot of 50 years, it's gratifying to see this new and disciplined generation of pilots in the left seat!
There's something magical getting humanking into the sky, be it a rocket or an aircraft. The feeling of anticipation and unknown, always sends shivers down the spine.
I'm almost 80 & I've never flown. This was exciting but also a bit scary. So many controls & amazing just to get this huge machine off the ground. Can't believe that thousands take this for granted every day.
Growing up by an airport and being around planes my whole life, I’ve always just been fascinated with them. Thank you for this POV. Something I would love to do one day but likely won’t
@@CaptainBoeing I have the biggest respect for all pilots in the world especially the commercial pilots. I used to be a taxi driver I always treat my pilots passengers the best I can. I still doing ground transportation I still pilots passengers l transport and I still treat them and they are my VIP/ very important person
The epic of flight. Nothing like it. My dad was a aircraft mechanic in the airforce. I watched him work on planes. Nothing like being in the cockpit. 🙂
I'm a nervous flyer. It is nice to see the professionalism and communication in the cockpit like this. Makes me feel a little bit better about the process.
Your father had a very, very fine career as a pilot and captain! He gave his life because he loved to fly! He flew the DC-3s I flew, DC-4, DC-6, DC-8, DC-8 stretch that I got to know very very well, I loved that plane; DC-10 and he finished on B-747 until 1987 at age 60...! He died in 2019 at the respectable age of 97. I have a very very great admiration for your father and thank you very much for your sharing! 🛫🛬✈💞
I always get an overwhelming sadness when I watch these partly because I will more than likely never have the opportunity to fly on one again ( I did many years ago and got to go in the cockpit, I was amazed at how small it was ) and that I was never smart enough to be a pilot. Thank you for sharing these clips....I really appreciate them. Best wishes from NZ
I suppose that's the only time you would want to hear it. I bet the pilots on aerosucre hear it alot. Have you read about the Erebus/Air NZ crash at all?
So incredible and amazing how these Giants go into the air. And I’m still amazed at the composure that pilots have during the flight, so few people realize how incredible these individuals are and skilled with immense courage in my eyes.
I had a scholarship for aviation...my mom talk me out of it, due to her fear and love.. Only way I can enjoy my decision is to still love them both, still.
Beautiful view! It reminds me of a funny memory - my very first flight was in 1969, using runway 31L. I wasn’t aware of the steep left turn in the published departure route. I said of the pilot, “He had the whole Atlantic Ocean to sneak over to the left, but no, he had to turn the plane on its side as soon as we were off the ground!” 🤣
Check out the video with a former British Airways Concorde pilot narrating her final takeoff from Kennedy.He mentions that hard left and the Canarsie approach.Timeless stuff.....
This view is quite familiar. Flew the 747-200 for EVERGREEN back in the 90's. Enjoyed every minute of it. Easiest airplane to fly in the world. Thanks for posting.
You never fail to give your viewers quite the show. You are such a professional artist in your profession. Thank you for always sharing such inspirational videos. ❤️
Last year I landed and took off in a Cessna 172 on runway 31 L at JFK. My tires are part of the big black stain😉. Thank you for the Queen of the skies video!
Hi Captain. Great takeoff...what a long runway. Beautiful views...a complete 180 turn into that beautiful sky. Terrific to look back at the runway from above ❤️😊
@@WayCoolDog Having spent 10 years at at international airport, working directly with nearly all aircraft types of the era, to me, the 747 is still THE most beautiful of them all. The Queen of the Skies.
@@WayCoolDog Whilst supervising the airport ground operations for airlines, I had the opportunity of sitting in the cockpit of 747s many times. An elevating feeling it was.
@@miklosgergely2356 - The Queen’s name is well deserved. It was a revolutionary passenger plane and is still working hard moving cargo throughout the world. You can tell how much Captain Boeing loves and enjoys his 747s too.
Sorry if I upset anybody on this comment. I love Captain Boeing videos because they make me feel like I’m actually flying. It’s the best feeling when you know you are totally blind to the earth.
Very nice takeoff video. I often see aircraft taking off from JFK when I'm visiting the parks that are situated along the route that these aircraft follow. If you're in the right place, you can literally see planes popping off the runway at 31L. The pier in Canarsie, not far from the VOR beacon, is a great place for plane spotting.
@Danny W 50 years of flying? Wow, you must have experienced more than most of what happens up in the air! My experience out of JFK was way back in April 2001 - the crew could tell I was nervous as after the tight turn we hit bad turbulence so I wasn’t able to hide my anxiety very well! They asked if I would like to go up to the cockpit and speak to the pilots (pre 9/11 of course) I was only supposed to be in the cockpit 5 minutes but the captain asked if I would like to stay longer and in the end I spent over 6 hours up there being served first class breakfast and sat in the jump seat behind the captain with a headset on for a sunrise landing back into Heathrow. One of the best experiences of my life.
The 747 is in many ways a testimony to pilots who fly it, engineers who designed the plane in collaboration with who would operate it….Hats off to your team, Captain.
Great job, Sir. Incredible amount of professionalism. You were thoroughly in command. Co-pilot is eager to learn. You were the only one talking unless the co-pilot needed to let you know what he'd done. This is as it should be.
Well I got to say that truly was a beautiful take off. Haven't watched these videos in awhile. You never disappoint. It's always nice to see you doing well Captain. Take care as always and Thanks for taking the time to do these videos it is much appreciated ☺
Lovely to see this takeoff out of JFK, a perfect start to the weekend ahead. As always Captain, perfectly executed flying by both pilots, visually appealing video, and fun to pretend I was on the plane looking out the window at the gorgeous colors of the ground and waters below. Love your Boeing lanyard too! ❤️U😎 שיהיה קפטן סוף שבוע מקסים. אני מחזיק אותך קרוב לליבי.
jfk had some bad destinations news one time big a couple times the scenes one of the news they saw close and congregated before ever heard of the other Clinton you are fortunate dayshift
God bless all our pilots near and far and all the flight crews that get us to our destinations safely. I dreamed of being a pilot but didn't have the physical capacity for the job demands. I'm not disappointed, though, because the skies deserve our best. 😉 Major admiration for all of you that have the right stuff! 👏⭐👏⭐👏⭐ Thanks for this inside look video! 😍😍😍
Great to see the guys up front at work. I've taken off from JFK, I don't know how many times. I was one of the guys in the back. Retired FAM. Good video.
The point being it's the flying is the easy part, but being able to use your mind in thousands of different scenarios of things going wrong and to react and correct and save lives is what you really get paid for
Thanks Captain Boeing for showing these videos. I cant get enough of them. Must be awesome to fly this beautiful 747 plane for a living. Keep up the great work!!
I could do that. Flip a couple switches, gun it, then pull back on the pull jobby thing. J/K I know there is way more to it and I admire these pilots that take care of the passengers in flight.
Captains are literal magicians in my eyes. I am terrified of flying. Although I've flown a little less than 10 times in my life it gives me anxiety every time. Having a fear of heights doesn't help me at all either!
That runway is really long alright, but it's needed for these huge planes. Many I know don't even realize how much runway a plane actually needs for landing and takeoff. And watching pilots work together has me smiling. These men and women are amazing at what they do to charter passangers in the air like this. Huge respect to them and to my friend whose a pilot for Delta.
I don't know what airline this is, but these two gentlemen certainly show the skill and knowledge of what it takes to master such an incredible machine. The Airbus 380 maybe a wonder to some but not too me, Boeing beat them by 50 years with the 747. The 747 is and always will be the queen of skies, long after every A380 is left rotting on the ground.
Great footage! The closest I’ve ever gotten to the real thing of piloting an aircraft is in a flight simulator. It’s a hobby of mine. I’ve flown the 747, but really like the 737. Feel like I have better control over it. JFK is one of my favorite airports to fly out of. I’ve thought about one day getting my pilots license.
Huge respect for the engineers to the pilots to the ground staff. It's almost inconceivable that humanity has this elegant mode of transport with so much safety.
It’s a blessing
Boggles my mind …..
To fly is a God's gift that we must merit every day😊❤

Love these video's. Always wanted to be a pilot, but it wasn't my life. I still enjoy watching and what riding I was able to do.
If only the Wright brothers could see this. Imagine, just 66 years after Kill Devil Hills man landed on the moon. Amazing!!!
The responsibility on pilots shoulders is immense and still they’re calm, cool and collected. Admirable.
Sorry if I upset anybody on this comment. I love Captain Boeing videos because they make me feel like I’m actually flying. It’s the best feeling when you know you are totally blind to the earth.
Thank God for pilots who know what they are doing...like these guys and so many others. Cheers from Aus everybody.
Very nice takeoff video. I often see aircraft taking off from JFK when I'm visiting the parks that are situated along the route that these aircraft follow. If you're in the right place, you can literally see planes popping off the runway at 31L. The pier in Canarsie, not far from the VOR beacon, is a great place for plane spotting.
Thank You for a view of your supreme experience...satisfying visual...lovely ride!
I remember that tight turn out of JFK - as a nervous flyer I didn’t enjoy it much!
@Danny W 50 years of flying? Wow, you must have experienced more than most of what happens up in the air!
My experience out of JFK was way back in April 2001 - the crew could tell I was nervous as after the tight turn we hit bad turbulence so I wasn’t able to hide my anxiety very well! They asked if I would like to go up to the cockpit and speak to the pilots (pre 9/11 of course) I was only supposed to be in the cockpit 5 minutes but the captain asked if I would like to stay longer and in the end I spent over 6 hours up there being served first class breakfast and sat in the jump seat behind the captain with a headset on for a sunrise landing back into Heathrow. One of the best experiences of my life.
The 747 is in many ways a testimony to pilots who fly it, engineers who designed the plane in collaboration with who would operate it….Hats off to your team, Captain.
Thanks
I remember looking at photos as the widening and lengthening of 31L was going on. Excellent work by all involved.
Great stuff!!
Pilot on the right looks like first lesson 🤥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow 🤩 amazing.. such a nice view of the cockpit and the runway, Thank u so very much for share Captain!
I bet you the beauty of taking off in that plane never gets old! Thank you!
Never...
Takeoff is truly an amazing experience. I've never felt such a powerful force. Air travel is such a blessing
Great job, Sir. Incredible amount of professionalism. You were thoroughly in command. Co-pilot is eager to learn. You were the only one talking unless the co-pilot needed to let you know what he'd done. This is as it should be.
That view of jamaica bay after take off must never get old. So cool.
It is always a pleasure to watch you sir. I never fail to be impressed. Thank you for letting us tag along! 👏👍❤️
Thanks for watching 😊
Amazing pilots that encourage new pilots to see the skies
Behind this cockpit, there's 400 tons of metal amd machine operating in harmony with each other. Most amazing craft.
Incredible footage. Wish we had these kind of cameras back when the Queen was a more common sight. Thank you for sharing!
Another great video. Good camera work on the takeoff. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching my friend
Wow it amazing very nice 👍🤗❤️
Terrific take off 👍 loved the 180 over the airfield ✈️ have a great day best wishes to you dear Captain 😊
Thanks my dear friend
@@CaptainBoeing 👍😊
Thank you for sharing. Such an amazing thing to be able to watch. God bless!
Happy you liked it 😊
Commercial pilots are our unsung heroes!!!
My boyfriend was pilot in the U.S. Navy and commerical planes. He many times flew the Boeing 747 with cargo and passengers plane. He loves Boeing 747.
Well I got to say that truly was a beautiful take off. Haven't watched these videos in awhile. You never disappoint. It's always nice to see you doing well Captain. Take care as always and Thanks for taking the time to do these videos it is much appreciated ☺
Thanks my friend
You are most welcome😊
to think the Wright Brothers about 100 years ago would not imagine this 440 ton plane with four Rolls Royce engines awesome
Lovely to see this takeoff out of JFK, a perfect start to the weekend ahead. As always Captain, perfectly executed flying by both pilots, visually appealing video, and fun to pretend I was on the plane looking out the window at the gorgeous colors of the ground and waters below. Love your Boeing lanyard too! ❤️U😎
שיהיה קפטן סוף שבוע מקסים. אני מחזיק אותך קרוב לליבי.
jfk had some bad destinations news one time big a couple times the scenes one of the news they saw close and congregated before ever heard of the other Clinton you are fortunate dayshift
stick too the dayshift lens in the waters
God bless all our pilots near and far and all the flight crews that get us to our destinations safely. I dreamed of being a pilot but didn't have the physical capacity for the job demands. I'm not disappointed, though, because the skies deserve our best. 😉 Major admiration for all of you that have the right stuff! 👏⭐👏⭐👏⭐
Thanks for this inside look video! 😍😍😍
2:30 Min. Auto throttle does the job.
Great to see the guys up front at work. I've taken off from JFK, I don't know how many times. I was one of the guys in the back. Retired FAM. Good video.
Nothing hard about flying it's all practice and skill I love it
If it was that easy then... Well you know
The point being it's the flying is the easy part, but being able to use your mind in thousands of different scenarios of things going wrong and to react and correct and save lives is what you really get paid for
Thanks Captain Boeing for showing these videos. I cant get enough of them. Must be awesome to fly this beautiful 747 plane for a living. Keep up the great work!!
It is..
I could do that. Flip a couple switches, gun it, then pull back on the pull jobby thing.
J/K I know there is way more to it and I admire these pilots that take care of the passengers in flight.
The responsibility on pilot’s shoulders is immense.
Loved this video as always ❤ Thank you 👍
U very welcome ☺
100% perfect take off,limited coms,all focus on the job.
Well done gentlemen.👍
Sterile cockpit 👏👏👏
The Boeing 747 it's Amazing 😍😍😍😍
Captains are literal magicians in my eyes. I am terrified of flying. Although I've flown a little less than 10 times in my life it gives me anxiety every time. Having a fear of heights doesn't help me at all either!
Make way for the Queen 👸 of the skies ✈️ ❤️ 😯
Seven Four Seven, the best plane ever ! Thanks for this video.
Agree
Very nice video.
Thanks my friend
@@CaptainBoeing You're quite welcome.
That runway is really long alright, but it's needed for these huge planes. Many I know don't even realize how much runway a plane actually needs for landing and takeoff. And watching pilots work together has me smiling. These men and women are amazing at what they do to charter passangers in the air like this. Huge respect to them and to my friend whose a pilot for Delta.
Profissão magnífica 👏👏👏👏👏👏
These two guys are amazing, as is any pilot.
Anyone know what skyline that is in the horizon @2:50?
Wow, it's hard not to get happy seeing this amazing pov
I don't know what airline this is, but these two gentlemen certainly show the skill and knowledge of what it takes to master such an incredible machine. The Airbus 380 maybe a wonder to some but not too me, Boeing beat them by 50 years with the 747. The 747 is and always will be the queen of skies, long after every A380 is left rotting on the ground.
I think it's EL-AL Cargo
It's UPS
@@thetravelingfloridian3445 👍
It is CAL Cargo Airlines based in Israel, the challenge accepted airline.
These 2 dudes must be champion and certainly have had loads of experience
Great footage! The closest I’ve ever gotten to the real thing of piloting an aircraft is in a flight simulator. It’s a hobby of mine. I’ve flown the 747, but really like the 737. Feel like I have better control over it. JFK is one of my favorite airports to fly out of. I’ve thought about one day getting my pilots license.
✈ Go get your pilot license
@@CaptainBoeing Can you please tell my wife that yes, I really do need a new expensive hobby? 😁😇
One of the greatest cockpit videos, amazing job!
O B747 é um tipo de avião que tem o cockpit tão alto que por dez segundos fiquei pensando que estava voando em baixa altitude, prestes à pousar.
Pretty impressive could you imagine flying this aircraft by yourself it probably could be done but hopefully not very often. A very deserved salute.
