Fabulous footage, especially during the holding pattern off HK , I could watch that for hours . Oh, how so many of us crave for the opportunity to again gaze down over the wing of a magnificent aeroplane amongst beautiful atmospheric conditions like this. I have only been to HK once and was expecting filthy smog but pleasantly surprised when there was next to none, not the case for you but wow, you had a splendid run up to arrival. Thanks again.
I flew the 744 for 11 years before a medical issue. Graduated from a 737. Gorgeous girl who was so ahead of her time. Even taxing she sounds like a beast. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Its a cool vid to see the angle of the engines in flight. The design and angle if attack must be perfect. This almost tanked the A-340 project. I think boing finally perfected the allignment of a 4 engine jet. You can see its different.
i agree with your observation there in relation to the 747 , the engine pod align - ment is perfection , i couldnt help noticing the way the A - 340 engines are sitting at different angles , where - as the jumbo got it sorted .
4:30 Your takeoff footage feels like an elevator compared to this: m.ua-cam.com/video/FPTDeEjCwTk/v-deo.html Look at the angle of the horizon in theirs! It actually feels like a plane taking off!
Paul's footage was on a Sydney to Melbourne flight (90 minute flying time) where the aircraft is a lot more lightly loaded, so the climb is a lot steeper. My flight to Hong Kong was carrying a lot more fuel and the takeoff weight was significantly heavier so that probably explains why.
@@nightowldickson nightowl: My issue is not with the weight of Paul's flight or of yours. It's more an issue with camera angle relative to the aircraft during takeoff. In Paul's, the camera was held/mounted in sync with the plane. In yours, the camera seems to attempt to keep level with the horizon during takeoff - something that many aviation POV cammers do, particularly novices. Hence the 'elevator' effect I mentioned prior.
Look how clean Sydney air is Vs Hong Kong. I know where I would rather like to live

Fantastic! Always one of the most amazing things to me- the engines, airplane, the climb and cruise and landing. Always got this seat. Thanks.

Btw not such a fan of the rb211 744’s; lots of reliability issues. CF6’s were better like those in this flight.
@@blampa the rb-211s are really reliable.
@@justplanecrazy5575 RB211s are ok overall but in the last 10-15 years of service in Qantas the CF6 were a lot more reliable than the RB211s.
I know exactly how an aircraft flies, but it still amazes me how something this size gets off the ground.
The construction of the wing amazes me. It’s the MVP.
I agree. It looks effort less but it's more detailed than it looks when taking off. Think God for helping man create a bird like aircraft.
Wow, 35 second take off roll, vey quick. Im used to 15 hour flights where the roll is over a minute long.

Loved the video. Great capture of this very beaut Qantas 747.
Amazing video! B747 is unbeatable!
agreed! it's a really nice aircraft to fly on :)
for real would like to try it
I miss this engine sound..... Boeing 747-438ER is powered by a General electric CF6-80C2
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
What a great place to view from !!!!!
Great video mate!!
Hong Kong - one of my favourite places to visit 🛫
The only operator of the 747-400ER, I wish the 747-400ER was more common, *MUCH* more common!
Hong Kong what a destination...
Great quality beautiful view just scary in takeoff how much the engine moves with or on the wing

Well done on a great video. Good info too, and I like that you've added the aussie airliners link. I refer to that site often.
Like i was on that 747 all the way to hong kong . Excelent movie . 5 star

I thought all their 744 were RR powered..guess not.
Amazing!!
Nice
希望早日开通布里斯班直飞北京的国航啊。
What camera were you using for capturing this fantastic video.
They greased that landing.....butter.
2.31 Botany Bay, by the trees in the far distance is Captain Cook's landing place. He would turn in his grave if he hadn't been eaten in Hawaii
If he hadn't been eaten in Hawaii he could have been eaten someplace else.
lol lol dwl
u re something else Maria i like ur sense of humour lol i am watching the vide all the way in Jamaica where are you from?
@@DoubleGauss stfu fool
Why does qantas have the Chinese language in the Airplane?
This flight was to Hong Kong and a significant portion of passengers speak Cantonese, so there is a Cantonese version of the safety demo shown
On this flight you get meat pies and sausage rolls and on the return trip you get fried rice and noodles.
Top - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻
I feel like I was on vacation.

Not one of the better videos I have seen.....cut outs during the video, and the sound kept going in and out....
I'll keep that in mind and do better audio transitions next time!
