4:53 The first officer very thoughtfully blocks the bright orange light from the indicator when the gear is being retracted thence preserving night vision of the captain during low light condition in the cockpit. F/O's attention to details is incredible.
I second the motion too... My first experience In the 707 first flight out from KUL to BKI was way back in 1972 ... Greetings to y'all from me in West Malaysia.
Wonderful video of one of my favorite airplanes. This particular aircraft is PT-WSM, an aircraft that originally flew with Nortwest Orient, later with Royal Air Maroc. Sad to say, she is rotting away in Sao Paulo, having served a long and procutive life. Boeing 707s are now very rare in Brazil, with Skymaster and Beta freighters littering the corrosion corners countrywide. I'm glad you were able to capture this wonderful aircraft in happier times.
True "fly-by-wire" controls. You turn the yolk, wires turn over pulleys and move the control surfaces! Just like Smith & Wesson created the first "point and click" interface...
Wow. Great video. Brings back lots of fond memories of flying that thing! Really liked the details: Capt dusting off the panel with a brush; FO guarding the gear handle light (hand cupped over the knob) on a night TO so as not to be blinding to the Capt. Oh, and the sound of that trim wheel. Nice. Thankyou.
There aint no scream like those 4 old girls scream ...high pitched music to the ear....no mid range hum like guitar strings strum on take off....then the bass boom rumble from behind...a true flying orchestra .....then there is the pause as she drops octave just before the thud on landing ....then hear those old girls roar on reverse thrust.....the legendary boeing 707 she made flying a thrill to behold long live the queen mother of the skies.
Great video. I always loved the older analog gauge cockpits. Don't like the modern glass cockpits. Based on studies it has been proven that flight information displayed in analog form can be interpreted by the brain quicker than a digital display. Even the space shuttle has a superimposed analog display on the glass screen.
+Stratus 262J, With very large glass screens you can proportion and reconfigure the instrument panel based on the segment of the flight you are in. Flight, systems, weather, avionics, etc can all be displayed as needed or desired.
@@naardri Because he loves his plane! I'm a former DC8 and DC10 flight engineer, a very good friend of mine, DC8 pilot, did the same before every flight !
I recall seeing this airplane many times in Brasil, especially Manaus, and have some nice pics of showing a "DC-8 only " guy the finer differences points of the 707 vs. the DC-8.
Pilots still fly airplanes, sure they use more automation to do so but they are still flying the plane. And as sundar said These guys could have also turned on the autopilot. Many airline pilots still hand fly much higher than 400ft. But remember, the airspace is more complex than back then, the departure procedures are more complex, there is more traffic to look out for…. so yeah. A lot more going on than back then.
I'm curious about that checkerboard, looks like they may be targeting it on final around 7:27 ? It doesn't appear on Navigraph/LIDO charts although it's still there according to Google Earth/Maps. What is it intended for?

***** Yes I know, rudder was the only hydraulically-assisted primary control surface on the 707, but spoilers were mixed with aileron to augment roll control, and those were hydraulic.Still - Some sluggish roll control there. Must take some getting used to.
Envy! :) Some 30 years ago I was offered a job to fly cargo 707s in Africa. The offer included a company-sponsored type rating but I chickened out from safety concerns. Admittedly, this was prejudice-driven regarding African companies. With hindsight, I should have taken the job.

baominghacker perfect team work hard to find now
I was JUST about to write that - superb professionalism!
I wish 707 will fly for ever
Me too
Still flies in the military as E-3 Sentry, KC-135 tanker, RC-135 Rivet...
Yeah, like a Royal Special flights for Avgeeks😁
I second the motion too... My first experience In the 707 first flight out from KUL to BKI was way back in 1972 ... Greetings to y'all from me in West Malaysia.
You can always re live the experience in a simulator, is not the same but is fun atleast!!! Anf you will learn a lot from your favorite plane
Piloto das antigas era outra história! Olha o cuidado do comando, limpando a famosa "penteadeira".

Nothing beats the old school jet engines! Love this 707 and this is an excellent video. Thanks for the invite!
I can’t get over the beautiful sound of the engines
A beautiful thing a true work of art the Boeing 707
How right you are. My all time favourite aircraft. 💖

Yes, the yoke moved the servo tabs directly
What about a sextant? That's point and scroll, pretty close.

great planes, great engines sound. I always respect to old birds pilots, they are deserve to praise. thanks justplanes
Someone: "How much runway does fully loaded 707 need to land?"
Pilot of 707: "Yes."
One of the best B 707 videos I've ever seen!!

Yes and analogue looks much more impressive.
Analogue is shit for situational awareness.
Detailer's brush before take off? LOL!! That would be me.
the rudder tail of a 707 is the most impressive and beautiful between all jets
What a smooth landing...
I love BOEING 707,IT IS REALLY MANS PLANE IF IT IS NOT BOEING I AM NOT GOING!.....WOOPPS I ALMOST 4 GOT THANKS FOR UP LOADING THIS CLIP!
You are very welcome! :)
+solomonpilot767 You might want to reconsider given that the pilot needs to dust off the instruments
@@naardri Because he loves his plane! I'm a former DC8 and DC10 flight engineer, a very good friend of mine, DC8 pilot, did the same before every flight !
Now that's a cockpit. Beautiful.
Bring this beauty back as a passenger aircraft or at least as cargo aircraft 😭 :cry:
The gold old days of aviation, when the birds were purely flown by the pilot hands and feet, not the flight computers!
Fantastic video!
Fantastic jetliner!!
Old School B707! My xmas just planes dvd list just got its first entry!
Excellent footage ... Beautiful Airplane ! Brings back great memories ....
Radio in Brazil Portuguese!
I recall seeing this airplane many times in Brasil, especially Manaus, and have some nice pics of showing a "DC-8 only " guy the finer differences points of the 707 vs. the DC-8.
God bless Just planes and they keep climbing !
Check out the altimeter....he starts the turn just over 100' AGL
Boeing 707!! Thanks for the video!
this particular plane was broken up in 2009.
Excellent footage of the classic
O 707 na minha cidade São Luis! Nossa que isso, muito legal!
Sempre veja essa decolagem. Uma das minhas favoritas.
so beautiful...as always.
Amo esse som do reverso do 707 é o 737 e também do 727
Alguém em 2019?
Back when the pilot had to actually fly the plane. Now it's reach 400ft and auto pilot on.
They could just as easily turn on their Bendix autopilot in the 707
Pilots still fly airplanes, sure they use more automation to do so but they are still flying the plane.
And as sundar said
These guys could have also turned on the autopilot. Many airline pilots still hand fly much higher than 400ft. But remember, the airspace is more complex than back then, the departure procedures are more complex, there is more traffic to look out for…. so yeah. A lot more going on than back then.
I am just seeing they are landing at Campinas, I think I might buy that DVD since I had the same way a few month ago from the cockpit of a GEC MD11F.
great great great!!! ow i love this sound! thanks very very much!
...greetings from brazil!
I love this sound ! the sound of old airplane is very cool
The B707 was built back when airliners had soul. Today's birds are little more than buses with wings.
It just sounds fantastic!
I liked it...Great to see 707's flying though I know there are very few of this vintage with those engines still going..
The way the guy is cleaning everything with a brush in the beginning... xD Just great!!
If you take care of your plane, it will take care of you
i love 707
i was pilot this aircraft very good
very powerfull and safe
707 is my heart
Queen of the skies.
I like the behind pilot seat point of view!
Bela decolagem. Das minhas favoritas.
Thats a hell of a plane. Brazilian Air Force (FAB) still uses some with the 2/2 GT Corsário, but it is in the process to replace them, too bad.
look at the 3rd engine's gauge. the 3rd engine is un even with the rest of the 3 in all parts of the video.
interesting at around 4:35. The co pilot blocked the light of the gear transit lights from the captains eyes to help maintain his night vision.
Very nice video!
I just may be sending some money your way for this one!
@FrozenFlame333 There are planes from the early 40's that are still making revenue flights for freight companies
this $#%$ is old school. love it!
@natofsx8 not, skymaster and beta cargo does not operate anymore. 707's of the two companies are stopped at some airports, totally abandoned.
Very nice work, just like every other video :)
The Flight Sim Channel no saha air flew commercial passenger flights until 2013 now most if not all 707's flying are military variants
B707 . . . de 1957..à 2019 62ans de service bonne retraite
They sure come in faster to land than modern planes do.
Hermoso sonido ❤
I could listen to the whining of those four Pratt and Whitney JT-8D turbofan jet engines all day!
JT3D, actually. JT8D is used by B737-200, 727, MD-80 series
Funny to see him cleaning the cockpit at the beginning using a simple brush.
More engines - more flight safety!! 707 is a still good bird.
Really??? Part of the preflight is a instrument dusting. LOL. Awesome bird though the old 07.
I'm curious about that checkerboard, looks like they may be targeting it on final around 7:27 ? It doesn't appear on Navigraph/LIDO charts although it's still there according to Google Earth/Maps. What is it intended for?
707 is the real Bird of the Sky
Is this the same cpmpany Sky as we have here in Chile? Here their planes are of a more modern type, though!! Beautiful video!!!
great vid:):)
N382US Northwest Orient ,CN-RMB Royal Air Maroc ,N149DM Omega , PT-WSM Skymaster Airlines Scrapped
realy nice landing!
real pilots not kids...i would trust them in every weather and case...
707 was build for grand masters!
Bloody H***. Dang.....Excellent
Awesome!! What type of engines does this 707 have?? They don't have the little doors on the front of them.
Urubus foram vistos na final! Belo pouso!!!
all my years in the left seat of these old birds you never caught me dusting or using gloves......................
@FlightSimAnt Of course it did.
Viracopos - Campinas -SP Brasil.
B707 it´s the most perfect aircraft in age 60' s than look like a Airbus A340
Airbus just copied the Boeing
@04:58, I guess he had a noise abatement procedure to follow.
is it that old, that he gotta clean the dust?

Dat Engine Sound.
"Encontramos na semana passada uma nuvem de urubus..." Hhahahahaahahah
Hey, since you flew this airplane could you please tell me what is the indicator to the left of the FO RMI? Thanks
was skymaster the last commercial flyers of the 707?
MrLukem14 no saha air flew commercial passenger flights until 2013. now most if not all 707's in service are with military variants.
Some sluggish roll control there. Must take some getting used to.

Brazilian
I wonder if they get danger money for flying that relic.
BRAZIL.
Espetáculo!
what year are they film this video?
@jack93squaglia4c yeah.. the same of japanese pilots
6:00 passando em cima do aeroporto de Campinas
They look like gloves to prevent muscle strain, to me
But who is "Skymaster"???
It was an old Brazilian airline, friend.
Limpando o painel cheio de TOC hahaha.
What year was this filmed please
In 1999
+JustPlanes thank you
why do you have to wear gloves?
Skymaster Brazil okay!
captain with gloves?
Old school
