  • Retro Jet D-ABYT Lufthansa Boeing 747-8i departs Paine Field on March 25th, 2015 in high winds for Frankfurt, Germany. Enjoy watching this beautiful 747 fire up her engines and leave the crowd with a beautiful tip of the wings as a way to say thanks for all those who've spent countless hours building the aircraft.
    Filmed By My Wife: March 25, 2015 KPAE Paine Field Future of Flight in Everett, WA USA.

    Imagine D-ABYT with her engine nacelles in dark blue with the classic yellow logo. Don´t you think she would look even more beautiful? LH must bring back this retro livery as a standard image.

    I love it when the pilots leave the factory with Wingwave.
    I just consider it a nice friendly gesture towards the work and
    his employees.

    You are one of the best aircraft videographers I have seen in a long, long time! And I cannot imagine what it must be like for engineers to see their work in the air and functioning! Love it!

    Doesn’t Lufthansa have the 1500th 747? That old livery looks really good on a updated brand new 747.

    That wing wave was OK, but the Cargolux freighter gave a new meaning to the word "wave", check it out!

    Yeah, i don't get why Lufthansa is going with this plain white fuselage, got rid of the gray belly, the cheatline and is only painting the rudder and tail cone blue. Its like they want it to look like a blue Qantas tail.

    It's too bad that Delta and United will stop, if not already, flying the 747. Theirs will be going to the airplane storage lots.

    LUFTHANSA should fly to Auckland using the 747-8 and the 747-400 and the A340-600 . obviously going via LAX from Frankfurt & or Berlin as well
    I also want Air New Zealand to Fly from Auckland Via LAX to Frankfurt and back via LAX to Auckland using the 777-300ER's

    • @jotyers7845
      @jotyers7845 9 років тому

      Jo Tyers I recon Air New Zealand could get the 747-8i with a little help from Lufthansa .

    • @jotyers7845
      @jotyers7845 9 років тому

      Jo Tyers I want the 747-8i to be Air New Zealand's A380 but of course it's slightly cheaper and how many should they have ( 8)

    I know I date myself, but when I first started traveling in the military, I loved Lufthansa. The pilots left your stomach on the ground and got your butt in the air.
