U really have to respect all pilots, to have hundreds of buttons in front of you and knowing what each one does, not to mention the responsibility u have for others on board🙏🏻🙏🏻 Truly Amazing
I'm sure with the countless hours of training the stuff seems normal to them
Quarantine

@Emptiness Form many of them are redundant in case of failures. Both pilots have duplicate instrument panels as well.
It’s their job lol
Emptiness Form exactly
My dad flew 747s until he passed. Every time I see 7:47 on the clock I think of him.
Im sorry for your loss of your father. He must have gotten such a thrill from flying those or any plane for that matter. He comes to see you at that time too.. Just saying hello!
a HERO, a job i could never do...
RIP
I feel deeply for you. He really must be a hero then. And same here, I always think of the Queen of the Skies when I see 7:47 on a clock.
Khalid Abdulghani My heart goes out to you losing your wonderful parent May god be with you 🍀🇬🇧✈️👨✈️👩✈️
I miss flying on the 747’s! It’s my favourite plane of all time.
To anyone reading this,I wish you the best of everything and safe flights wherever you go ❤️
The sound and feelings when the captain pushes the throttle for takeoff. Amazing
Makes me wonder how many times a minute, the engines turn over when flying at over 500mph
@@hollymackenzie9923Less than during takeoff
The thought of hundreds of thousands of pounds of steel, aluminium, plastic and fuel flying 7 to 8 miles high at a speed of 600 mph with hundreds of lives on board never ceases to amaze me.
Seriously, think about that. My great granny was born in 1879. As a kid, she traveled west at about 20 miles a day on a good day. It took the family an entire summer and nearly everything they owned to travel across the country. When she passed in 1978, humans could buy a ticket for a few hundred dollars, just a few days worth of work, and travel 600 miles in one hour.
Sit back, eat a questionable meal, eat a bag of peanuts and have a Diet Coke while you are hurling through the sky at a rate of 6 miles a minute.
Even more amazing, we do it with an astounding safety record.
600 m.p.h. =10 miles a minute, not 6.
6 miles per minute = 360 miles per hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour. 6 x 60 = 360. Just saying.
@@Dezso1777 lol Yea, you guys caught me. It's closer to 10 miles a min. The 747 doesn't quite cruise at 600 mph but my math was still way off. Brain fart.
Yes, flight is probably the most impressive accomplishment ever.
shananaghans5 - I feel the exact same way. It is a real miracle. I'm the same way even with cars since my mother and I (she was a widow) did not have a car in the family for at least 10 years until after my father died. My mother never drove. Did not get my license and first car until I was 24 yrs. old. Until this day, every time I get behind the wheel I still feel a tiny bit of excitement inside. And being in a plane--closest to heaven you can get. To fly like the birds and see sights that our ancestors could not imagine. A lot of people take things for granted but I guess there will always be that inquisitive little girl deep inside me.
Largest I've flown was the Boeing 767. What a riot. I'm retiring in 55 days, but who's counting :) 30+ years with American Airlines & USAirways.
Congratulations!!!!! I always thank pilots when I deplane. Sincerely hope your retirement is joyous and productive.
Gylnn Knox sounds like a Pilot name lol
Fantastic, my good sir! I hope you are enjoying a well-deserved retirement!
Big Salute Captain.
have a great retirement God Bless
These pilots are truly underrated
The feeling of taking off never gets old.
Amen to that!! ❤❤
Many had to die to get the technology we have today. God bless Pilots. 💙
Nah, just a few Aliens in Roswell.😎
Insane in da Membrane Lol like everything else in the world? I mean c'mon xD
Wars made this technology possible
Laurynas shhhhhh
@@insaneindamembrane7961 Shut up asshole. You're a POS.
I got so much respect for pilots. Just imagine the responsibility they have each time they fly.
They deserve every dime they get and more
It's all auto pilot nowadays. An 8 year old could fly one of these modern planes.
Puluto Chishi You sound ridiculous. I'd like to see you try and do it.
@@stephaniammtenfour I'd be more than willing to demonstrate it to you. Just get a plane and name the time and place lol
Puluto Chishi No thank you, I have a few people close to me that are pilots and it's not as easy as you think.
It must be boring driving a car, when this is your daily.
Cars are becoming like that. All electronic with lots of bells and whistles. Pretty soon they'll be driving themselves, just like airplane autopilot.
@@truckerhershey7042 Aye tell me about it. I remember learning to weld on a old 'N reg' Volvo estate. The floor had fell out of the drivers foot well and we couldn't afford to get it fixed, thus the welding lesson from the old man. The Volvo would be considered a write off these days.
@@whosspyingonme Dude it wasn't a dig at the drivers. You don't know what I drive either 😉
@@whosspyingonme pilots don't make THAT much
LOL
There's something about a night time takeoff that is just so relaxing.
I can look at these videos but there is no way in hell I am getting on one!
I'm willing to travel by airplane anytime during the day during the night doesn't matter my son John thinks so too
H W Vanzant landings too! Specially in Vegas!
There’s something about long road trips at night too. Like driving though a big city at 3am.
I don't know what it is but night time traveling is more of my thing.I enjoy it more
Does anyone else find watching this so relaxing??
My thoughts exactly Ma'am , very refreshing and relaxing.
Ye definitely
Like white noise for me. May break it out when I can’t sleep
I always play fly movies like this to relax my mind
You ever been on a 6 am flight ? Most relaxing thing ever.
Sometimes I get nervous driving my car in the rain at night. Pilots are amazing.
yeah now imagine that you're driving, can't see anything, being totally dependent on some dude in front of a screen telling you where to go. Hundreds of lives depending on the perfect running of radar/radio technology 100% of the time so you don't hit a mountain or another plane.
@Skipbo000 pilots have instruments to make sure they can fly without even looking out the window if neccesary, cars do not
Take a minute and think about this
Its 2020 and we still use this setup. The sheer amount of buttons, switches and toggles, not to mention instrument clusters is astounding. These pilots have to memorize every one and it takes using each and every one of them at some point to make this plan do its job correctly. Such an amazing machine and marvel of technology that's taken for granted
I agree it is an amazing machine and marvel of technology. It took thousands of people to develop what we have today. As far as being a pilot, you just have to memorize the sequence to perfection. Most importantly know, if your machine has any malfunction, what to do and how to do it or you're dead.. and everyone else with you. That is a huge responsibility.
The buttons are not the challenge, the procedures and FAA rules are. Planes are (relatively) easy to learn but the rules of the game are massive and ever changing.
Take for granted? What does that even mean? What should we do?
A lot of those buttons are for emergencies like if an engine fails you can use the power of the other engines to relight it. Stuff like that.
Becoming a pilot is only for the smart. Hats off!
Meanwhile, in the cabin: "I WANT TO SHAKE YOUR HAND!"
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Feather Storm BRUHHH 😭😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂 underrated comment
You get you get it😂😂
Feather Storm if you get it you get it🤷🏼♂️
i will never grow tired of that sound the engines make when they put the hammer down on take off. I get goose bumps every time!
dR.Ugz Me too!!!!
Well I Love It!!!
How come it sound like it has a prop ?
i love it so much be sounding ever
I love it!!!, raw power!!!
I still find it incredible these machines come of the ground. The 747 and A380s espsecially. Absolute respect for the pilots operating them everyday.
Wow, I felt like I was right there with the pilots... thanks to ALL pilots for ALL you do!!
I flew on a private jet a while ago and the pilot allowed me to just view the cockpit for a while and I was amazed at the amount of instrumentation and controls a pilot helms and the kind of decisions they make in a short span while processing such enormous amounts of data and information is truly commendable. Mad respect for these folks.
I really, really wish that the beginning of my life had been so different for me, I would have been a pilot. I'm 33 now, and have a lot of commitments and I wouldn't want to start late, I'd never trust myself enough at this point to put anyone else's lives in my hands. I've been obsessed with aviation, navigation, planes, meteorology... for as long as I can remember. I cant stop watching these videos and other ones like it. For me, this is the epitome of peacefulness and happiness. Nighttime take off over water and in the rain... takes incredible skill and attention to detail. I have almost respect for pilots and officers. I'm just so glad UA-cam was invented so that I can live vicariously through these videos. Technology is amazing.
It’s never too late to be a pilot
Rachel Colameco it’s never too late to go after your dreams!!!! 🙏🏾✈️ 💫 🌎
KING ARMANI do you know how many school years that goin to take? She’s already 33 before she become a pilot she’ll be im her mid/late 40s .
@@kingston304 yeah see that's what I'm saying. Maybe I could just get my sport pilot or private pilots licencr and not do commercial. Because even if I could get it done in a reasonable time, it wouldnt be long enough for me to trust myself with hundreds of others lives every day. But everyone is right in the fact that it really isn't too late to pilot something smaller
Rachel Colameco 100%
10:47 "Don't touch that, Larry."
Very impressive. Thanks to the flight crew for allowing you to capture this magic, and to you for recording and posting it!
I WATCHED ON BIG SCREEN WITH THE LIGHTS OUT highly recommended.
neil brown
I'm jealous. I'm watching on my phone😕
That sounds spectacular
Perfect on OLED for inky blacks
Just followed your lead class lolol
@@richr4717 awesome idea
I did flight school in gta San Andreas, ya think I’m ready to fly one of these? Amazing video 🤯
Melvin lol right
Dude, the last levels of that shit were a nightmare! If you did it, you can fly anything you want LMAO
John Doe I completely agree, those missions were bitches! The rain is nothing compared to driving your RC plane against gang members as revenge!
those missions was sooo hard. had to quit!!!
Melvin 😂☝🏿
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.
Amazing career ur Dad had..My Dad was similar..Capt.DC3,6,9,10,727,& 747-200 w/UPS..He was old TTA turned TX Intl.turned Continental(he striked)747's w/Evergreen..straight into UPS..43yrs.total flying..Definitely old school guy..Still alive & kickin@82❤❤
Shocking that it doesnt seem like its going that fast prior to lift-off.
Chadwick Borawski so true
SHOCKING!!
Gotta love math.
Shocking , indeed J.H.......Shocking Indeed...
@@sparrow6914 is it really that shocking
Real professional pilots there was no change in their voices which tells me they were confident in the aircraft and in their own skills.
A great video, thank you.
I have super respect for pilots! 💯
Bro the take off you gotta have balls for that, that’s some serious shit my g nah man I stay on the ground I’m good 🤣🤣
Eu também

Is just like any other job,, you learn and becomes second nature
They wipe their asses, like everyone else
When the plane left the ground I got that empty stomach feeling I get on a real plane, even if its just a video.
damn, me too
@@hahhuli same here!
Travis Schpeltinger me too!
Me too !.....Used to fly 3 times a year when young. Only 2 return flights from London to Portugal and Tenerife in the last 32 years since 1988....
Boeing lost the contract to land at Miami after their latest presentation showed that all their Staff were between 9 and 15 years old.....which goes to show Mr. Hansen that you can't win anything with kids....
Back when cameras were honest experiences… thank you for this history.
Even today it's been 25 yrs ihv been traveling in plane. The take off & the climb still gives me goosebumps for my life. It's like those engines defying gravity & taking us up there
Hats off to all the pilots for their incredible efforts
this is how all cockpit videos should be!
Larry Peters sup Larry
The Queen of Airframes
Y’all are the reason I became a meteorologist. Thank you🙏🏾🛫💪🏾
I respect pilots same as surgeons - probably even more as they reaponsibke for so many lives daily - God bless them and keep them safe
Herakles yup ! Surgeons mess up ,maybe 1 dead, a pilot mess up ,over 400 dies
Herakles half the work of pilots is autopilot and they got manuals for almost situation. Doctors are different breed
Kind of a shitty comparison as a surgeon is trying to save lives where it is a pilots job not to get people killed. So to me a surgeon is much more valuable.
Milan Marten Bet you wouldn't say that if you were on a plane that's on the verge of crashing
Sabin Islam What do you think they just let anyone be a pilot? The pilots work load is tremendous especially during take off and landing. Even on autopilot they are still working. Pilots have to be extremely intelligent and have to be able to handle multiple tasks at once. Of course, you have Islam in your name so that shows your intelligence level compared to the rest of the world.
Gentlemen like these two deserve much more credit than they get , hauling the most precious cargo on the planet. Respect for you.
I wasn't on that flight...
Tim Tully this is a gang
@@vipereavp I'm precious cargo
He's running over the runway centre-lights with the front gear; bad practice I would say as why subject the avionics to unnecessary high-frequency juddering and jarring and shaking; quite surprising how little mechanical empathy some people have. Or worse - did his ego make him steer straight just to prove that he could...even if the only evidence was the running over of the runway centre-lights. A few feet to either side and there'd have been no juddering at all - surely that would be much better for the long-term fatigue life of all the electrical connections, sensitive avionics and instruments in the cockpit.
@@2o4II112II26o2 shut the fuck up
TRULLY AMAZING, EVERYTIME I SEE TAKE OFF & LANDING.
My best wishes to all the Pilots. You really do a great job and do it so professionally. I admire your skills. May God bless you and may you have happy landings. A job so well done. Just brilliant !
10:56 Captain, protects the throttle, Incase the FO knocks it, class display of attention to detail.
Love the testing of the control stalk during push back. These guys triple check before they take you in the air. Reassuring
Gavin Dunne
Noticed that too.
This is a cargo plane. They were the only ones on the plane.
Damn, you 2 are buzzkills!! I'm sure the cargo even appreciated their triple-checking...
Nuck Chorris hey did you know that this is a cargo plane? No passengers except the two pilots .. just cargo 😂😂😂😂
Thrust lever is not something which need protection at that altitude in fair weather.
F/o cannot just “knock off” a thrust lever on a Boeing. For Boeing even if it moves a little here and there, it will comeback. For Airbus if it moves, it will cause a ECAM and need crew intervention. But nothing significant.
But yes, sometimes we do this as a reflex action though it is not required. 😊
I always say thank you to the crew and pilots when the plane lands. I have a great deal of respect for them b/c my heart skips a beat every time I’m on a plane😂
fragglepuppies you right and no I can’t forget the engineers. Thanks to them as well
We
Take bow to all responsible pilots in the world 🙏
You reach the point on the runway that the plane wants to fly…I love to feel that sensation!
I find heavy planes absolutely stunning to watch, this is unreal
It’s strange that when you watch a plane takeoff from the cockpit POV it looks as though it’s going really slow while you watch it from a passengers POV you’re hauling butt down that runway.
No different from looking out of the side windows of a car rather than the windscreen. Smaller field of view means it looks faster.
Yes!!
Its easy..because the velocity which we experience is the relative velocity....Now as for passengers, we mainly see sideways....so that we see the buildings, towers and other aircrafts....hence there are lot of things comming in our vision which are stationary....hence we feel the speed. But for pilot...he sees mainly in front....and the front is clear...with only runway in front. Hence there are very few stationary objects in the vision....hence relative speed experienced by pilot will be less...
Ashtra Infotainment I’m gonna take a shot everytime i see hence
@@killa_kxm5519 Hence the alcohol poisoning
When this pandemic is over i gotta take my first plane ride. 😗🌱
I'm thinking bout taking a fligh my self to ne where and back
All my respect to pilots, truly a high responsibility they put on for all of us.
These amazing flying machines are a testament to what the human brain can accomplish.
Larry Falls ПРИВЕТ! !!
Human is a term that reflects both genders. Stop watching so much cnn
Larry Falls Yeah, except it can't figure how to be good!
floatpool The circular saw was invented by a woman. Other than that i can't think of anything lol. We all know men built the modern world and keep it working.
Yeah mainly to cut your worldly possessions in half during a seperation..
My compliments to the videographer! That was the best thing I have watched on youtube!
I used to go to the airport with my father when he was alive. He had such a love for Aviation, though he was not a pilot. He was in WWII and wanted to be in the planes that had the glass "bubble" underneath. I think it was called a bomber. He was a Bombardier on the front line instead. He never liked to talk of this part of his life other than planes planes planes.
If he is here over my shoulder watching this with me, I know he is smiling and has goosebumps just as I do now.
Thank you for this. Oh ps. his favourite jet was a 747!!! He used to say as he was watching them take off and land, "Oh here comes another 747. It always amazes me to see them get these lumber wagons off the ground!!"
So thank you from my father Too!!!!
Well you're talking about the queen of the skies after all
So much going on, 4 massive turbofans throttled up, hundreds of busy people, rain and heavy wind, thousands of moving parts... and in the cockpit everything seems so calm and even peaceful.
the way the captain presses the toga button just oozes class and experience. Idk how to describe it.
I've never been so captivated watching other people work. Totally amazing.
Man, it’s gotta feel like you’re on top of the world sitting in the cockpit of a 747. So awesome.
Mr Hansen It was more figurative than anything but well played....dick ;)
I see 2 people and 1000 buttons. Proud of these pilots.
747 a real beast RESPECT THE PILOTS
I respect pilots, they have a very stressful and difficult job but work with such precision and efficiency
Yeah!!
I thought merging onto the interstate at 6AM in the rain in the dark was difficult. Huge respect for the men and women who fly these huge planes.
Seriously 🥺
hes not competing with anyone else, to the side or behind.
@@rockwellrhodes7703 they’re called traffic lights buddy
That’s a really poor comparison tbh
The fact they have the patience to not fall asleep and travel hours and hours every day is just amazing
Flying at night is very relaxing.
I’ll give these folks mad props
for doing this.
I don't care what people say about the A380 and how great it is. The 747 is the best plane that will ever exist. What an icon she is.
The A380 is an overly expensive eyesore. Not too mention 40 years to late, the A380 was a bust from the start, AirBus hasn't even gotten anywhere near breaking even on it and never will.
Love the 747 and 777 but ive never got to fly on either haha but i will say the oldschool 737s have always got me home safe probably 30 flights
Queen of the skies! The 747 will be around a long time due to being able to load through the nose, for cargo. The 380 with that middle deck (which can't be removed) ruins it for cargo.
@@donanders2110 Yeah. That middle deck is literally the plane's backbone.
They don't get nowhere near the recognition of the job they do for us passengers. They are amazing!
I have the utmost respect for these pilots and those in the tower ! Always in contact with each other. So many buttons and dials to keep track of and engage or disengage! Absolutely amazing knowledge and skill!!!
Impressive how decades old technology is still holding up fine today.
I noticed an ash tray under the pilot's left elbow.
@8:52. Best Feeling applying full throttle and hearing all four engines start up...must feel like being on a rocket.
I love taking off at night. The landscape is so beautiful
Can you imagine what these pilots are feeling during push back and engine start. My stomach would be in knots. I just retired from a 36 year career in aerospace manufacturing. 13 of those years were with the Boeing company. I have machined and assembled literally thousands of parts for the 737,747,and 777. I also spent several years in quality assurance. I have never flown. Let me repeat that I have never flown. I have seen far too much. I guess maybe I would in an emergency and then if it were the only way. Even after all I have seen it is still one of the safest means to travel and I know I shouldn't feel that way but it is just my paranoid self I guess. Pilots are some of the most intellegent people I ever worked with. They are worth every penny they earn. It takes many hours of training and they must be certified on each aircraft they fly.
@@adamcandiolo9828 I know what you mean. I love flying. But I’ll never forget that one night where we were going from JFK to Ghana. I woke up 2am during the flight and it hit me that we’re 38,000ft over the ocean… there’s no land under you…just sitting on 2 wings. After that thought, I would wake up every 30 minutes to make sure I’m still alive haha
Why do these videos relax me? The atc chatter calms me down I listen with my headphones to fall asleep.
Something wrong with you.
IT's called ASMR
Hey Wake Up! We're hitting some severe turbulence! Seat Belt Light just came on!
its the technicality of it all that's so easily organized and motioned by people that have an equivalent level of education as a doctor. Watching It makes one life less manic in return.
Same here lulls me to sleep
SOOO much respect for the pilots. I can barely run my smart phone. Looking at that panel is mind-boggling.
He's running over the runway centre-lights with the front gear; bad practice I would say as why subject the avionics to unnecessary high-frequency juddering and jarring and shaking; quite surprising how little mechanical empathy some people have. Or worse - did his ego make him steer straight just to prove that he could...even if the only evidence was the running over of the runway centre-lights. A few feet to either side and there'd have been no juddering at all - surely that would be much better for the long-term fatigue life of all the electrical connections, sensitive avionics and instruments in the cockpit.
@@2o4II112II26o2 its not a bad practice, nothing will happen to the aircraft
@@2o4II112II26o2 umm, I'm pretty sure it doesn't do jackshit to a behemoth like a 747 (or in any aircraft in general) haven't heard of any aircraft accidents over a plane running over the runway lights or planes being damaged cause of it, I have seen alot of in-cockpit recordings and its safe to say you're just being a smartass
check out the concorde's cockpit.. this is nothing
The B747-400 is an engineering masterpiece, I love it!
Fabulous! I spent 20 yrs in the jumpseat going round the world with my husband who flew this aircraft. SO exciting to effectively be back on the flight deck with those familiar sounds. Just love it!
I`m 46 and planning on going back to school for aircraft maintenance. I hope I learn this stuff. I`ve always loved planes.
it's never too late to do what you love, good luck :)

Good stuff. Always keep learning
Flying...one if not the most beautiful thing in the world.
Its actually very cosy to fly. Best experience is Norway, polite and calm manners makes you relax even more.
9:02 Close your eyes. Absolutely beautiful.
These guys deserve every last dollar they get paid - and more.
Easily 150K+, I'm interested in getting a career as a pilot possible not for airlines though
How about the engineers who make sure the plane doesn't crash?
150? Oh not bad. I heard they dont make much.
That's just what I "heard"
and all the pussy they smell when they go down and they got there often if you know what i mean, lucky motherfuckers
Lufthansa captains make 250K€ a year ..After all they were on strike for 3 months in the last 5 years
I swear my favorite part of going on vacation isn’t really the vacation it’s the flying
...just the opposite...I will drive everywhere I need to go.....
agree
For me the best part is still the vacations 😂😂.. Enjoy
jpg36c: Me too. All the excitement starts at the airport with huge planes outside waiting to take you away to far away lands where you never been before.
I wish I could feel the same. Feat of flying here
Much respect for two guys flying a plane with 100 or more souls 💯
My dad was an aeronautical engineer at Boeing. He also owned a Cessna. My father in law was also retired air force and a manager for the FAA. Flying is in our blood.
pilots are so professional In general. amazing
He's running over the runway centre-lights with the front gear; bad practice I would say as why subject the avionics to unnecessary high-frequency juddering and jarring and shaking; quite surprising how little mechanical empathy some people have.

@Austrian279 Hi there - most runways as 50m wide - 2 foot to one side is as good as in the centre as it makes no difference. Ego is dangerous in the cockpit as it suggests reduced self-criticism and that prevents continual learning, so, again in the long run could become dangerous.
@Austrian279 He was being filmed and I don't think any pilot would deliberately shake-up his instruments by running over the centrelights for no other benefit. Perhaps I'm thinking about it too much but my chief flying instructor once said ( when doing a pre-flight, where you had to check the strength of things )..he said...no, don't touch that x,y,z ( thing ) to see if it is securely fastened.....because if every pilot does that every walk-round then eventually it won't (be)... so his point was - don't induce mechanical stress that you don't really need to. Unlike for example a heavy steel ship built for the ocean...an aircraft is equisitely engineered to be 'just' strong enough ( with safety-factors, of course, but fundamentally )..so it has to be treated with a lot more care and carefulness...treated like fine china, when you have the chance.... Sooner or later something will break / shake-loose, fall-off, stop working...and why bring that date forward...that was my sort of point; but thankyou for your replies also and best wishes :-)
@Austrian279 Hi there - you might be right on the first point, we'll never know for sure. They say, on your second point, that "there are old pilots, and bold pilots, but no "old, bold" pilots! "
I love that roaring sound of when the plane is starting to take off 😳😂
Exactly the same here!
S 88 same!
i'm Japanese. i think so!!
わかりみが深すぎる😚
Same yo 😏
I have always wanted to be in the cockpit during takeoff and landing....I see all those screens, buttons and everything..I know that's something I will never do, but I love flying!
As many times I’ve traveled, when I hear those engines ramp up for take off. Goosebumps!!! Then the feeling when landing gear lifts off the runway. Smiles. The experience of flying to my destination, sometimes, is the most enjoyable part of my travels.
The 747 is the most beautiful and best-flying plane in the world.
OrcaBoat3 yeb for sure love them 747.
There's nothing quite like the way your heart pounds as you begin to build speed down the runway just before liftoff ~~~
Cee Note I feel that way when im about to take a eartha kitt.
Cee Note I agree but once your in the air it's pretty cool...
Cee Note omg I was thinking the same ! When he said let's go and the engines became louder my heart started pounding as if I were in the plane!
Marie Marin same herr
Cee Note your life belongs to the pilot from that moment on 😀😀
people flying planes must have a lot of fun, because of the great views
This is comforting and yet scary.
As someone who is terrified of flying, when those engines revved up, my heart started racing and I’m breaking out in a sweat. Takeoff is worse than landing. Twenty plus years and I cannot get over the fear. But much respect to pilots.
I'm not afraid to fly, just afraid to need the puke bag in front of others. Motion sickness keeps me on the ground. 😥
go experience dude ! life is short
I have respect for all pilots, when flying they have our souls in their hands.
patp these guys are flying cargo, not humans
Nothing like turning onto a lit up 10,000 foot runway at night in the most beautiful bird mankind has ever created
Gives me chills too!
Absolute respect for what these pilots do. Man.
I commend the bravery, guts, discipline, and responsibility undertaken by these guys. some weather conditions are just so challenging.
i took off in a chipmunk in Wales when I was a cadet once. it was so windy, the plane was -just rising after take-off without moving forward, the wind was calm above the clouds and then we flew. i thought that was the end that day. the pilot was calm, and i was just thinking 'this guy is nuts!'
Miss this view. Growing up my Dad was a CX 747 Captain and as a kid (especially pre 9/11) it was completely normal to be allowed to sit in the cockpit for take off and landing. I got to jumpseat as a boy into Kai Tak dozens of times! Never realised at the time how special that was.
Why are people disliking this video? It’s just reality. There are no politics or polarizing opinions - it’s just two commercial pilots doing their jobs and flying almost a million pounds through the stratosphere. What’s to dislike?
Just when you think you got it figured out.
You see all the instruments and stuff on the ceiling too.
Best sound in the world starts at 9:00
Couldn't agree more. Yes there's lots of beautiful engine sounds out there, the bassy growl of a V8 idling, the scream of a V12 F1 engine at full throttle. But the sound of those big old jet airliner engines at 'throttle up', I think it even beats rock 'n' roll !
I always let out a big hell yea when I hear that as a passenger. Don't really care what people beside me think.
It makes me nervous as shit lol. Once we’re up in the air it’s comforting
Retired, fond memories, thank you
It seems the flight is so much smoother in the cockpit than the rest of the plane. I am a very fearful flyer and don’t fly without an Rx. Wish I had their confidence and calmness. Total respect for pilots.
These pilots are amazing!! Even in such heavy rain. What a great job!!
