  • BOEING 747-400 heavy TAKEOFF. First officer flying manual and doing a great job 👏
    Long run from V1 to V rotate. This 747 weight is close to the maximum takeoff weight.

    I flew on the upper deck of a 747 for the first time recently and I was in awe the whole time. Mainly because of its size. That and the fact that I’d dreamt of flying in one since a young age. It’s incredible how tiny the cockpit is though for how large of an aircraft it actually is!

      I've traveled upper deck business class of BA 747 before they retired them, but it wasn't sizable, in fact nice and small, like a private jet, no sense of the 100s of other people in the plane. Always a great flight, will miss the old BA 747s. I'm booked next flight on a BA 777, but has new club suites, so will see how that compares.

      My first time was a business trip to Germany. I flew a Northwest 747-400 from Detroit to Amsterdam. It was a business class ticket which put me up in the hump. Like sitting in a Lazy Boy chair at home. Champaign on the ground, lox & bagels for brunch, hot towels frequently and the privilege of having that takeoff thrust pin you to your seat. Magic!

    It’s a joy to watch this. I have many passions and the amazement of flight is one of them. From the Wright Brothers to the incredible jets of today. My introduction to flying was with Airlines of New South Wales out of Sydney to regional centres like Dubbo, Wagga Wagga and Griffith. They were called Mystery Flights. You phoned reservations the day before asking for a flight and if available were then told when to arrive at the airport. You were treated as a regular passenger with full in flight service. As a teenager it was about $8? (AUD) What an experience! I’ve been fortunate enough to have had several trips between Australia and the UK (where I now live.) These journeys are infrequent and I never taken them for granted. The thrill of the take off and that seemingly easy rotate is incredible. It looks so easy but the skill and preparation is far more complex than most passengers comprehend.

In ‘86, flew from D/FW to LAX, then LAX to Taibei, Taiwan (actually flew into Fukuoka, Japan for a night due to a cyclone over Taiwan at the time…then onto Taibei the next day) in a 747SP. Then back a year later. Taiwan is the friendliest, most historical, unique, and peaceful countries to which I’ve ever traveled and lived. The Taiwanese are wonderful.

    I was a passenger on a 747 in 1983, flying from Atlanta to Amsterdam and back again. It was a very different experience than any other plane I've been on. The spaciousness inside the aircraft and the steadiness off it once in the air is something unequaled. I have heard the first class cabin was a thing to behold; you had to go up a spiral staircase to reach it.

      Yes, in 1990, I had the good fortune of flying in the hump of a 747, from Gatwick in London, to Minneapolis, non-stop. Slightly interesting story...
      I was in the USAF, deployed to England for military reasons, in the build-up before Desert Shield/Storm. While deployed, my grandmother died. As was customary, if you are deployed overseas, and not actually, "at war" (which we were not), you get sent home for immediate family deaths, on the first available transport. Lucky me, only first class on a Northwestern 747, in the hump, was available. So i got it. 21 yr old E-3, making $25k a year, got a trans-continental 1st class ride. It was truly amazing. I actually still have the little red zip bag, with Northwest on it, that had complimentary toothbrush, paste, floss, mouthwash, and sleeping mask.
      And all food, drinks, alcohol, was free, the whole way. No limit. luckily, i wasn't in the mood to party, so no shenanigans were had. But a very memorable life experience.

    In 1970, I was 8 years old. My parents told me that next year, the 3 of us would be going to California for a summer long vacation to visit my mothers sister and her family. I was very excited because I hadn’t seen my aunt and her 5 sons since they moved to the west coast 2 years before. I begged my father to see if we could fly on the new 747. My folks planned our trip, then went to their travel agent to make the arrangements. When they came home, they had bad news. 747’s weren’t landing in San Diego then because the airport was too small. I was disappointed, but still looking forward to my first plane trip. It seemed like the time would never arrive, but soon enough, my mother was packing all the new clothes she had bought for me, and we were on our way as soon as I had gotten out of school. I had never been to an airport before, and thought it was the biggest place I’d ever seen. I was glued to the windows watching the jets land and takeoff. We boarded an American 707 and I fell asleep after dinner. My mother woke me just before we landed. San Diego didn’t have jet walks then so we walked down the stairs to the tarmac. My aunt and uncle were there to meet us, and I remember looking out the car window at San Diego. I had a wonderful time with my cousins through the whole summer. My dad went home the end of July to start work again. My mom and I stayed until the week before I went back to school. My uncle drove us to the airport and it was there my mother told me instead of stopping in Chicago as we did in June, we’d be stopping in Los Angeles. It was such a short flight, we were there in less than 30 minutes. We made our way through the terminal to our new departure gate. That’s when I discovered why we were at LAX. My dad had changed our schedule and my mom and I were flying home on a new American 747. I was more than excited when the huge jet pulled up. We boarded with hundreds of others, when we walked into the cabin, I thought there was no way this thing would get into the air. I had my nose to the window the whole takeoff. I asked where the bathroom was after lunch. A flight attendant took me to the back, as we walked through a divider I couldn’t believe what I saw. There was a cocktail lounge with a bar, bar tender, club chairs, tables, and chrome mushroom shaped lamps. When I went back I told my mother what she was missing. She didn’t believe me at first until we both went back. We sat at a table looking out at the Grand Canyon, she had a whiskey sour, I had a Coke. It was the best surprise my dad had ever given me. He was grinning ear to ear when we saw him at the gate. He asked how it was and I said it was the best part of the trip. I’m 60 years old now, I’ll always remember how I felt that day. Sadly, I never flew on a 747 again. I guess I’ll never be able to. Those were the days when people flew wearing their best clothes and everyone was civil to one another. I’m glad I had those few flights in the early 70’s. It’s sad how most people wouldn’t even know what it was like then.

    My buddy , god rest his soul, worked at JFK for 30 years. Back in the late 90s a good friend of ours had a fear of flying so he asked my buddy if he could come down to the airport. He let him taxi a 747. Cant do that stuff today. Good ole days

      Queen of the Skies back in the 1990s and early 2000s, but it became obsolete (out dated) by more fuel efficient aircraft. Think B777 and B787.

      @@garlandlabat4922 That was true.... actually 777 was more fuel efficient engines... that´s true, but never, never best or beautiful than a 747... i miss so much the 747 and DC10.

    Captain Boeing always has everything under control…always correct, always spot on and always the perfect pilot taking care of his employer’s planes and cargo. Beautiful views in this departure. What is that in the water at 4:06? ❤️U😎

      I am trying to understand why innocent people are being slaughtered in Ukraine. This is not deserved, this was not expected. My heart aches for anybody who has been sacrificed in this invasion. I pray my Captain sweet Captain is far, far away from this conflict. My Captain has to be always safe. Please be safe my Captain, I worry you might not be in a safe area .
