    I will never forget when I saw a klm 747 in the late 2000s

    Excellent video, I will miss KLM’s 747s dearly. I would love to see you do the same for BA’s 747s and Virgin’s 747s. KLM’s only remaining 747s are of course the freighters, PH-CKA, PH-CKB, and PH-CKC. When they are gone, it will truly be the end of an era for KLM.

      Thanks! We sure miss KLM's 747s. Hopefully the freighters will stay around a little longer and keep the legacy. I'll try doing the same for BA and Virgin's 747s someday.

    So sad to have seen these beauties go. I flew on the KLM 747s a total of 12 times when I was younger and they are the plane that got me into aviation. I currently have a fuselage skin section of PH-BFG on my desk lol

    0:52 and 5:10 both City of Bankok 747 and City of Tokyo are showed. Funny thing is that they are in Infinite Flight. City of Tokyo has the 2015 Livery and City of Bangkok has the modern KLM livery.

      Real shame they got rid of them so early. It's all because of the rising fuel prices. :'(

      30-20 year old aircraft are in no way young! They flew Millions of people. But you gotta keep up with time!

    I've noticed, Only KLM paints out their logo and name on the planes they retire, no one else does this.

    • @RetroAvi8or
      @RetroAvi8or  4 роки тому +1

      I noticed that too. They even rename some of the aircraft after retirement, like how PH-BFL was renamed "Robert van Bohemen" for instance.

      Too bad PH-BFA was scrapped. Her delivery livery was quite special because she had the 1971 logo with the dark blue text. :'(

      It was the 747 used in for the outside shots during the take-off. But if you look closely inside the cockpit you will be able to find the registration-placard on the FO side says PH-BFB ;)
