- A bumpy crosswind landing onboard Qantas Boeing 747 'Queen of the Skies' in Melbourne. As this aircraft celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first flight, I feel that this footage really highlights how well designed this aircraft was!

Wing flexing+engines shaking+ engines whining= pure aviation magic. This view from the queen of the skies never gets old. Thanks for another great video mate!
I completely agree! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
@@paulstewart2ndchannel Reminds me of landing in AMS with KLM's 747-400 in seat 77A. Did that for work many times over the last 20 years. Never seizes to be amazing.
Wow wow wow! Now that's a video!!
Look at those babies bouncing out there on the wing. Beautiful GE's singing away.. I love a bit of turb ,Makes it interesting. He touched her down like a silk glove after all the wallowing. Captain was working those throttles purfectly .Stunning opening scene also .Don't you love it when they do a big arc turn.
Absolutely!
HA! THE A-380 WOULD HAVE LANDED MUCH MORE SMOOTHLY THAN THIS.
THE 747 WILL SOON BE A PAST RELIC AND THE A-380 WILL FOREVER BE THE KING OF THE AIR. EUROPE!!! EUROPE!!! EUROPE!!!
@@drServitis Hope you read the headlines last week drservitas, The other way around. LOL
You could hear every adjustment in the throttles the pilot was making right up until touchdown.
Great video, beautiful flying. Thanks!
Ahhh the way things used to be, great memories onboard the queen of the skies mate
That pilot was really flying that plane on that landing.
Considering how rough the wind was, it was actually quite a smooth landing.
Melbourne always windy ... thanks for landing 🙂
Damn, those pilots were flying that baby right to the very end. Superb skills, and super video!
The stopping power is unreal
Great video, and that wingflex!
The mighty Boeing 747, greatest aircraft ever built.
Thanks mate
Agree master, the 747-400ER is wonderful.Sadly there are not many airlines that are using the ER
Second to none!!! You are right!
HA! THE A-380 WOULD HAVE LANDED MUCH MORE SMOOTHLY THAN THIS.
THE 747 WILL SOON BE A PAST RELIC AND THE A-380 WILL FOREVER BE THE KING OF THE AIR. EUROPE!!! EUROPE!!! EUROPE!!!
drServitis A380 has all but died this week with all orders cancelled. It has come nowehere near the 747 for longevity
Awesome sound of they engines
Agreed!
I thought that was a brilliant landing, just the 747 she really is the Queen of the skies, a beautiful bird. CHRISTINE Palmer The Gold Coast Australia
Agree,even with all that turbulence. The 747-400ER has bigger tires so the landings have potential to be even smoother than the already super super smooth B747-400
Agreed! the Queen of the Skies is a beauty!
Boeing 747 - first flight, 1969 and still going strong. A-380 - first flight 2005 to challenge the 747 and now being discontinued. Silly Europeans!
Well said Christine
How the engines don’t just break off is simply amazing..
Agreed! Especially when you see how small the actual bolts are?!
Magnificent
Never get tired of that engine whine of 747 while landing❤ Too bad that today most longhaul flights are operated claustrophobic twin jets :(
Magnifique...
I remember being on the train heading home and saw the plane fly right over, thought it was odd as we don't get 747 flights but this turned out to be flying down from Sydney then doing the next days Antartic charter.
Yep over the last few months there's been quite a few SYD-MEL (and return) ferry flights that have been sold to the public.
Some may think it’s easy to fly a 747, but it’s not. Whenever I do in X-Plane 11 it always says “pull up pull up’’ terrain pull-up sink rate sink rate and that’s about it lol.
It's preatty much weak at aerodynamic but I use trim whenever it did
Parkes! The only qantas 747 I ever flew on from Sydney to Haneda back in 2019. I was lucky enough to get a visit in the cockpit so it has a special place in my heart :)
When these engines shake so much they look like toys! :) Nice job Paul.
Thanks Jarek
I was thinking the same thing
Wow. Those engines are really bouncing around up there.
Absolutely fantastic!Love these aircraft.....what a great landing!
HA! THE A-380 WOULD HAVE LANDED MUCH MORE SMOOTHLY THAN THIS.
THE 747 WILL SOON BE A PAST RELIC AND THE A-380 WILL FOREVER BE THE KING OF THE AIR. EUROPE!!! EUROPE!!! EUROPE!!!
drServitis You are correct! The A 380 is magnificent! It still amazes me how such a huge aircraft can lift off the ground; magical!
@@margaretroselle8610 BUT ALAS THIS WEEK WE LEARNED THAT THE A-380 IS TO BE DISCONTINUED AND NO LONGER PRODUCED. EUROPE TRIED AND FAILED TO COMPETE WITH AMERICAN BOEING 747 WHICH HAS BEEN IN PRODUCTION FOR 50 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG. SILLY EUROPEANS! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
drServitis Oh no! Didn’t hear about that.What a crying shame! Very sad news.☹️✈️
@@margaretroselle8610 Oh it is wonderful news. Please Google it. Europe's attempt to displace the 747 was based largely on pride, so it was a moral competition which of course America won since America can rightly claim the moral high ground in providing for Europe's wives and children for so many decades in the absence of willingness by European men to do their job. This has been a very good week for Right vs. wrong, indeed!
It is just remarkable how much the wing flex on these aeroplanes. Most enjoyable video.
I believe this aircraft then would have done the Antartica flight the next morning. As that is the only time MEL ever need a 747. Great video!
Yep I think that's right. :)
Simply beautiful!
It really is!
Nothing wild about that. Perfect landing
The landing was fine, although the approach was pretty choppy.
That was some roller coaster ride!
It certainly was!
Paul, you do great videos, and gee, someone doing a video in landscape mode instead of portrait mode. That's refreshing for sure. I enjoyed your vid, cool and well done.
Thanks - yeah I can’t stand videos in portrait!! Many more videos on my main channel :)
It retracted the slats so fast
Helluva video. That truly was a roller coaster apporach.
Breezy and beautiful. Thanks!
Serious crosswinds indeed! Great piloting lands the queen perfectly though! ☺😍
Just love that wing flex! And even more remarkable knowing that each of those engines weighs about a ton, yet the wing just bounces merrily on its forward trajectory. Love these type of landing videos, Paul. Especially when it's on my most favourite aircraft and an excellent vantage point inside the aircraft. Cheers m8.
Wild.
Very good quality. It looks more like real life, than real life.
Thanks
Not much to say really just a great piece of flying, well done great footage.
Magnifique
Very nice mate remember being out to film that the screaming engines were a huge highlight!
Thanks mate. I'm literally watching on of your videos on my TV while I cook dinner!
Rock and Roll. Great footage to celebrate the Queen.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful scenery... Nice filming of the Queen landing... Hope to visit one day ✈️🙏🇬🇧✈️🙏
Wow! A bit bumpier than I like, but a great plane and video!
Glad you enjoyed it Tammy :)
love it man, thanks Paul.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Melbourne is a great city,but I don't know how you stand that wind.The hotel maid who lived in St Kilda actually had the roof blown off her house.
Nice one ! I love inflight cabin videos
Thanks! So do I! The most important thing about selecting a seat is the view of the wing and engine :)
I know that ! Every time when Im flying Im always carefully choosing my window seat. Its very important for me. I prefer to see engines and wing from the front .
haha absolutely! Have you seen my 747 takeoff footage from Sydney ( ua-cam.com/video/BcTLtvDYVjw/v-deo.html )? The angle of the wings and engine was perfect. You're far enough forward to be able to see inside the engine but not too far forward that you can't see the flaps...etc. I just wish I filmed that takeoff in 4K!
@Topfelya I think I remember you asking me when I would upload my footage of the C17 at this last weekend's Avalon airshow? I have just uploaded it now :) ua-cam.com/video/V0_EnCMWtK4/v-deo.html
Nothing like a bit of turbulence to keep things interesting! I love flying into Melbourne, it means l am going to my old home town to visit family and friends! Great video Paul... keep them coming 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it Yolande
Great work, enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it Janine
oh no 😱......wonderful footage though Paul, awesome work. Thank you for the video. 👍🏻👍🏻✨✨
Glad you enjoyed it Cherine!
awesome clip mate!
I’m so scared looking these wings and engines shaking
Such stable footage Paul. Well done. I flew on A380, 350s, 777, but I'm yet to fly with the Queen one day.
Thanks mate. You better make a booking as they're all being retired soon :(
@@paulstewart2ndchannel oh no. gotto rush.
Great vid, the sounds are awesome, it actually looks like and sounds like you had an outside window seat 💺.
Glad you enjoyed it Brian
Looks like you had a few of those stomache churning low G drops there on the short finals? Great video, looks like fun!
Thanks mate
Lovely vision of an iconic aircraft!
Glad you enjoyed it Craig!
Wonderful landing! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Very nice footage! How do you manage to keep the camera still?
Hey mate, I find that leaning my arms on the walls works quite well (and avoids the smudges if you lean on the window).
I don’t think I’ve ever had a smooth landing in Melbourne 😂
Great Video!!! Keep up the great work
Thanks mate
For you to describe it as a “ wild “ approach , it must have been pretty wild . I was interested to see the leading edge seats retract on landing but deploy again at the end of the landing roll , can’t say I’ve noticed that happen before .
Wonder if it’s to avoid the reverse thrust exhaust cooking the front edge slats.
I can't remember where I read it (wiki?) but I believe it's to avoid damage from debris thrown up from the runway during the reverse thrust. Check out my Qantas 747 aviation geek video where I explain that and a few other things :)
Leading edge retracts on every 747 when reverse thrust is applied...
Yep that was my understanding
Top vídeo 👏👏👏
Thanks Ronei :)
Awesome video! If you dont mind me asking, what lens are you using for you a6500?
Hi mate, it's the kit lens 18 (or 16) to 55mm lens.
😳🙏🙏 Wow ! 👏👏👏
It is only when I watch & then saw it from a 'external' film I realised it was 'quite' bumpy. Never spilt the Red Wine lol :)
Where you onboard this flight Keith?
Paul Stewart EXTRA Yes Think 5 Annette & a QF lady were on it as well. It came up on my history FB yesterday :)
of course, I remember now!
More interesting were the Kruegers folding away when reverse thrust was engaged and then redeploying once out of rev. 👍
True! :)
how come it's wild?
Melbourne often gets quite strong winds
Cool!
I agree! :)
Was this particular aircraft the one that then left Melbourne on 10 Feb 2019 as QFA2907 for the sightseeing trip to Antarctica?
Hi mate, no this was filmed in Feb 2018. Here's the landing from another angle ua-cam.com/video/8tC7Rr_3kSI/v-deo.html
Paul Stewart EXTRA ... Would have been a funny coincidence if it had! The Antarctic flight aircraft had come to Melbourne from Sydney the day before so there was just a chance.
I initially only noticed the 9 Feb 2019 posting date. Only now have I seen the 10 Feb 2018 flight date in the description.
Wild landing title. You having a go? Lol.
It certainly felt wild to me onboard.
@@paulstewart2ndchannel sorry but we're we watching same video? Glad u survived mate!
haha
Interesting vid if you edited it down a bit - final approach must have been nerve-wracking (didn’t hear the passengers cheering to be on the ground)
The cabin was fairly empty
I've never seen the engines move so much... Normal?
Yep :)
Man... whoahhhh... What a camera u have there.. thumbs up
Thanks mate - a Sony A6500

Sub'd
Great to hear :) Many more videos coming in a few weeks as the 2019 Australian airshow this in early March, and then I'm off to the USA on board a 788, 77W, 737-8 Max, 77W and a 789 so there will be heaps of new vids :)
@@paulstewart2ndchannel
Awesome man. Waiting waiting...
:)
What was so wild about that.😂😭
Here's footage of the landing from someone on the ground ua-cam.com/video/8tC7Rr_3kSI/v-deo.html
hi can i use this in instagram with credit ?
Sure. Please credit my instagram account paul stewart aviation :)
Try landing in Wellington :)
haha this is a lovely summer's day in Wellington!
Paul - Great 👍 video, but was wondering about the ‘WILD’ landing until I saw the actual landing of this Quantas 747-488ER coming into Melbourne. Wow those pilots did a great job...from the inside of the plane ✈️ it sure looked scary with that wing shaking like crazy, if I had been the passenger in that seat I surely would have been scared out of my wits. (I guess YOU were the passenger, duh??). Thanks for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
HA! THE A-380 WOULD HAVE LANDED MUCH MORE SMOOTHLY THAN THIS.
THE 747 WILL SOON BE A PAST RELIC AND THE A-380 WILL FOREVER BE THE KING OF THE AIR. EUROPE!!! EUROPE!!! EUROPE!!!
um... I do quite like the A380 although it appears that it will cease production while the 747-8 Freighter will continue for the time being. :)
@@drServitis Unfortunately Airbus just killed the 380 programme. Shame, really, but that is the reality of a wrong decision made when they decided to launch the 380 (one of my all-time favourite aircraft, as a passenger).
@@paulstewart2ndchannel Boeing 747 - first flight, 1969 and still going strong. A-380 - first flight 2005 to challenge the 747 and now being discontinued. Silly Europeans.
Windy/bumpy yeah sure...wild not so much
What's the difference?
Watch a "wild crosswind landing" video. They are wild, wings dipping under and over the horizon, passengers reacting to every bump for example. Its a nice video but i just dont agree that it was 'wild' thats all.
We'll have to agree to disagree. To me, the wings were dipping above and below the horizon. There was no noise from the passengers because the aircraft was mostly empty.
You got value for your money!
Absolutely! :)
