This is THE best plane spotting footage I've ever seen. Hats off to you for capturing from that vantage point and at dusk with SFO's bright terminals lighting these birds up. Simply beautiful.
I was a flight attendant for many years for NorthWest Airlines. I took the safety part of my job very seriously. I was very disturbed to see a lot of non US aircraft taking off (Lufthansa A340) at night with full cabin lighting on! If you notice most of the US planes like United or Hawaiian have all their cabin lights turned off during night take off and landings at night. This is a very important safety protocol. Turning cabin lights off or dimming the lights in the cabin acclimates passengers and crews eyes to the dark. If there is an emergency or accident (like running off the runway) and an evacuation is needed, passengers will have their eyes used to darkness and hopefully safely get out of the plane in 90 seconds. Those emergency lights will not always work after an impact, I know....I have been in a few accidents w/ evacuations. If you have full cabin lights on and they suddenly go dark due to an accident, you are putting passengers at risk because they will be temporarily blind while trying to jump off a plane in a pitch dark condition. I know this sounds unfounded by people who are not in the industry or don't fly often but, it is just plain (pardon the pun) common sense to turn those cabin light off!
m5zealot that makes absolute senses to me. I’ve never been on an US carriers flight when they haven’t at least dimmed the cabin lights during a night takeoff or landing.
right! I noticed that too in this video, but this protocole is also followed by non us carriers though, I fly with Air France and they always dim the lights.
Excellent San Francisco Plane Spotting. :) Evening is a great time as there is the movement, arrival and departure of the United 777s, 787s, Qantas 747s, Air New Zealand 777s and many others like them.
Stunning night-time takeoffs surrounded by all those lights! Love the majority of the liveries I saw here. Love the big jets. Favs were the Airbus A340 & the Boeing 747, soooo powerful!
Stunning beauty....! Big planes cause great sensations ! San Francisco Airport works like a Swiss watch ( this is not an advertisement ) : otherwise it is not possible in aviation ! I regret not having seen this night sight before... Thank You so much dear HD Melbourne Aviation for Your decent and necessary job ! I appreciate it forever !
SFO is one of the best airports to watch video takeoffs and landings. The Lufthanser plane at the beginning is simply awesome and I love the illumination of the Hawaiian Airlines tail logo and the same for the Qantas flying kangaroo. ✈️✈️✈️👍😎
This is probably one of the top 3 plane spotting videos I've ever seen. What a spectacular setting, the lighting is perfect, the camera work so professional. Thank you for sharing, you are seriously one of the top contributors for aviation enthusiasts everywhere. I love your videos.
Amazing footage! Thanks for capturing all the late night action at SFO, which is pretty hard to come across on UA-cam. It's also the time with the most diverse international departures.
SFO is my home airport. She looks absolutely breathtaking in this video! Of course the planes are the stars of the video but SFO makes for a beautiful backdrop. Strong work!
Bravo!!!!! Thank you so much for going to the trouble to get the video, edit, and post. Worth every second of viewing!!! Not ruined by stupid music that so many people put in their videos (I really dislike that). But this is my "home" airport and you captured it so well. The nightly Hawaiian arrivals, the Air India departure, the A340-600 Lufty was just incredible. Wow you do such nice work, thank you again!
The way the Panasonic captures the light is outstanding! Did you do enhancements during postprocessing or the luminance of the lights are all natural from the camera itself?
You can say that again... I live close to the San Francisco airport and we would drive over the San Matteo Bridge (and sometimes spot a plane ✈️ or two coming in from L.A. overhead) and then drive to the airport and watch those wonderful planes coming in or taking off. I don’t know what it is but there is something about planes that excites me and I am amazed how these huge jets can take off so effortlessly.
@@annieh.8175 That's so wonderful to know Annie! SFO has some of the best planes coming to it, plus its runways are so beautiful that they are a global icon. Air India operates its longest flight to SFO only! :)
Beautiful footage! Anyone else notice the grey instead of white in between the cockpit windows of the LH A340 at the beginning? Makes it look a bit like it’s wearing the A350 eyemask
Awesome video man! Love the night shots! Really considering this Panasonic Camcorder for its capabilities, especially at night, now after watching your video. Keep up the awesome work!
You went on the right night for Air India. That particular flight only goes 3x/week. Also looked like a pretty light takeoff considering the fuel on board for a 16 hour trip
Congratulations¡¡¡¡ Ilike so much the video.Clear image, very sharped, good color in the night. wonderful aircraft. I lieke the detail of landing train.As very few in the wed. Of course hand up.Thank you¡¡¡¡
I didn't know "French Bee" up to five minutes ago, so I simply looked them up and now I know that the A350 has a long way down to Papeete from Orly via SFO, wow! Also, I always get kind of a sentimental feeling when I see "Oceanian" airlines anywhere in the world. You always know they have a long trip ahead of them no matter where they fly from. I'm always like "Say Hi to my friends Down Under and have a safe flight!"
I love watching these planes taking off and landing, 9/11 just mess up how we used to go to the airport and just watches planes landing and taking off, we didn’t even have to have anyone flying in or going anywhere to see all of this, damn I miss that.
awesome video! the a340 is such a sleek and majestic aircraft. sadly, i've yet to fly on one and likely won't get to now that they're being retired. if planes were humans, the 340 would be melania trump, that's just how very stunning that plane is imo!

This is THE best plane spotting footage I've ever seen. Hats off to you for capturing from that vantage point and at dusk with SFO's bright terminals lighting these birds up. Simply beautiful.
Omg the Qantas at 7:30 and 7:40, absolutely gorgeous. Definitely like a graceful bird climbing into the sky 😀
14 dislikes? Who on earth would choose to watch this video and then give it a thumbs-down? Both the videography and content are top-notch.
audio kind sucks though.. he needs to put a guard around the mic to stop the wind from blowing into it
That number is up to 23. Why? I don't know. Yeah, the camera mic had wind noise, overall, very nice spotting.
Never underestimate the motives of stupid people.
we never know how stupid ppl lives ..
Lots of idiots and bad people so what ever you do you always get like and dislike.
The A340-600 is such a long plane. It's one of my favorite aircraft along with the 744. 👍
Aaron Lewis it is very long
BluMac That’s what she sed?
MXlord32 32 and we have a weaner folks!
Maxumized lol
744?
Yay Lufthansa
My home Carrier 🇩🇪✈😍
I like the A340
Who could anyone not like this video? Timing, quality, brightness and content is just perfect.

Greenid Guy not only is carriers do that lol pretty much every airline nowadays dimms the lights
G G based on this video there are several that don’t.
right! I noticed that too in this video, but this protocole is also followed by non us carriers though, I fly with Air France and they always dim the lights.
pff. maybe they are reading)))
A340-600 is on another level! damn its a beautiful airplane!
That A346 is incredible.
Excellent San Francisco Plane Spotting. :) Evening is a great time as there is the movement, arrival and departure of the United 777s, 787s, Qantas 747s, Air New Zealand 777s and many others like them.
That quality is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic footage! Thank you! I could sit and watch SFO arrivals and departures all day/night.
Qantas 747 looked so majestic taking off will be a sad day when they get retired.
A380 headed same way...sooner than later..
Robert Allen The A380 so a fck Bad Plane...... 747❤️❤️😍😍
SFO is one of the best airports to watch video takeoffs and landings. The Lufthanser plane at the beginning is simply awesome and I love the illumination of the Hawaiian Airlines tail logo and the same for the Qantas flying kangaroo. ✈️✈️✈️👍😎
That A340 is a real beast....
Urgh, the A346 really is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever created.
It really is, shame they’re dropping like flies
The camera quality is out of this world! This video looks almost as good as a simulator!
That was wonderful! Never seen night footage like this. The Lufthansa A340-600 especially was amazing. What a sleek aircraft!
This is probably one of the top 3 plane spotting videos I've ever seen. What a spectacular setting, the lighting is perfect, the camera work so professional. Thank you for sharing, you are seriously one of the top contributors for aviation enthusiasts everywhere. I love your videos.
Gorgeous footage! The black sky lends an elegance to these awesome machines. I've been on that QANTAS flight out of SFO, it's a great flight!
I love the a 340 600 its amazing. Along with the 777 300.
Amazing footage! Thanks for capturing all the late night action at SFO, which is pretty hard to come across on UA-cam. It's also the time with the most diverse international departures.
I'm absolutely stunned by the quality of this video! it is by far the best plane spotting video i've ever come across!
That A340-600 is just so god damn beautiful! I hope lufthansa will still keep it a few years. I love flying on it and seeing it in the world.
So many BEAUTIFUL aircraft !
That Painting at Hawaiian Plane was beautiful...
SFO is my home airport. She looks absolutely breathtaking in this video! Of course the planes are the stars of the video but SFO makes for a beautiful backdrop. Strong work!
A340-600 ♥️♥️
The A340 is a favorite camera maker, every day I can watch it, and my little girl is in love with it, 🤗
Great shot of the United 777.....you can actually see inside the cabin. 5:40 and have the blue lights on during takeoff roll. Very nice
More good stuff from Melbourne. Love that you're getting so much light on the aircraft when airborne. SFO is bright!.
4:44 is such a cool view. All the planes flying like a fleet
That a340 was a stunning take off! Wow 😮
Spectacular video mate! It is filmed so beautifully almost looks like CGI brilliant work!
you got some nice footage...this is better than being there in person....very well done...love the take off views....

When my girls were little, we’d go to SFO at night to watch the awesome jets take off, so much fun - lol -
one is never old enough to stop watching jets take off! :)

Lufthansa looked so elegant
Fantastic job shooting this ... enjoyed watching it very much !!
definitely love it, could you do it on 1 hour with only takeoffs at night or from the afternoom til the night ?
Beautiful footage! Anyone else notice the grey instead of white in between the cockpit windows of the LH A340 at the beginning? Makes it look a bit like it’s wearing the A350 eyemask
The wing flex on those 787s.. Amazing video!
Your videos are awesome!!
Excellent camera motion and quality!!
Truly rejuvenates my love of flying!!😍😍
Lovely footage
A340-600 is such a L O N G B O I
Awesome video man! Love the night shots! Really considering this Panasonic Camcorder for its capabilities, especially at night, now after watching your video. Keep up the awesome work!
Had a layover in SFO and it was definitely worth it to enjoy all the Heavy action
Damn one the best i've seen!! You can see the inside of each plane taking off, even the tv screens!!!
A346 has beautiful proportions. I wish more of them were around.
This is so beautifully shot. I admire your work mate. Keep it up👍
Not sure why I'm finding landing gear going up so satisfying!
stunning pictures on take off ,the shine from the polished planes made it
fab video
One of my favorite aircraft A346, it's so long, hope it'll never retire
I really ,enjoyed that and the pretty,lights.too,thank.you.
This is awesome! Where did you position yourself at SFO to get these shots?
You went on the right night for Air India. That particular flight only goes 3x/week. Also looked like a pretty light takeoff considering the fuel on board for a 16 hour trip
yaa indeed it was
Was this filmed from a carpark? Looks so good love the LH A346 QF 744 NZ 772 KE 789 😍😍😘
Excellent video, especially the stunning A340. Such an elegant aircraft.
Brilliant Shots, thank you so much!

San Francisco Airport spotting Very NYC 👍👍
the crispyness is insane!
Smooth and calm shots. Very good.!!!!That´s the way, plane spotting should be done.
airplane color is awesome...never looked so much better
Congratulations¡¡¡¡ Ilike so much the video.Clear image, very sharped, good color in the night. wonderful aircraft. I lieke the detail of landing train.As very few in the wed. Of course hand up.Thank you¡¡¡¡
1:56 and 3:51 What a beautiful sight, man! just amazing this beauty A340.
Watching this video is a treat
This was so clear, the view is outstanding and it looks like the planes are right next too you. How many hours of footage did this take to get this.
The A340-800 is such a beautiful aircraft
That A340! Amazing
May they all arrive safely..Always..
This is an excellent video. Nice work
Awesome video. thank you.
nice place to spot ! nice video
Brilliant video mate. Every time I am amazed how the 787 and A350 are quiet. Quiet and beautiful.
787 ain't quiet when the RAT is deployed lol. It's like you're standing next to a Cessna. Except it's a 787 3000ft above you.
Хорошее видео! Черные полосы делают его красивым
Great job, and awesome quality......thanks for sharing!
Excellent!
Looks so real. what are your PC specs ?
Love that A340-600, and the 757s of course. Great video mate!
Wow ending the video with Air India...❤❤❤
Loving the visuals on this video! Great video!
Wow, I really love this! Love the plane spotting, especially during the night hours. Great shots, and love that Copa Airlines taking off! XD
My favorite plane is the Dreamliner 787...super quiet and made of carbon fiber...Airbus planes are super cool but Boeing is the innovator.
I didn't know "French Bee" up to five minutes ago, so I simply looked them up and now I know that the A350 has a long way down to Papeete from Orly via SFO, wow!

Love your footage. KSFO sure is planespotter haven..
SFO SFO it is me United baby..... Here I come..... Just show me the way to sky...... nice video mate...
