So cool. Airplanes really are at the peak of many human disciplines. They are marvels of science, engineering (materials, aerospace, industrial), technology, design (they have to look good and be comfortable for people to like flying on them), and even business (getting all the parts to build them and designing airline routes and fares is complex). Not to mention they look and sound amazing.
Wow I miss this view. I used to work for ACS servicing Korean Air and Omni’s Vacation Hawaii flight and occasional military contractor flight. This was probably the funnest job I had because I was up and close to the planes watching them come and go. I was on the ramp when a Quantas A380 had to make an emergency landing on our reef runway due to a medical issue onboard. At the time we didn’t have any stairs or jetways that could meet up to the doors. Seeing that huge bird up close was something else. A memory I’ll never forget. Thanks for posting this pushback. It brought back so much great memories. One thing I do know is, the 747 is the easiest plane to pushback.
We should be grateful to Lufthansa and Korean Air for having 747-8. At least, we can still watch and see the Queen of the Skies for another 20 years or so
@@greyhamlogan2255 I wouldn't put the A380 in that because the A380 was designed by computers, the computers calculated what would work and what wouldn't, even Airbus admitted that without today's computers and technology they would have an extremely hard time building the A380. The 747 and the Concorde was all designed by people with rulers and pencils, which is extremely hard to do and you need extremely smart people to pull that off.
Most definitely a 747-8. The pylons stick straight forward with no downslope to them. Note that the APU provides enough air to start two engines at a time. The big military start carts can also provide enough air that I once started all four engines on a DC-8-63 simultaneously in Ramstein, Germany. The air pressure from the start cart only dropped from 45 to about 42 PSI with all four JT3D-7 engines turning. Two of these -8 engines use more air than four DC-8 engines did, so that is a really high output APU they have.
That sound you are talking about is the compresser/compresser blades all beginning to fully rotate and actually initiate the combustion process happening within the turbine! I learned this when I did my internship with GE at their testing facility and literally said exactly what you commented ahahahahha! Sorry for the useless babble!
iM OVER 60 NOW I did my time on these wonderful machines - they will never leave me. No greater engineering feat has ever been achieved. There is nothing more when you have the best.
I used to do a lot of pushbacks out of Sarasota Florida back in the 90s. Biggest I ever pushed was an l-1011 by ATA. I know what it feels like pushing out a very large aircraft. Sure was a lot of fun.
The first plane I ridden on was a 747, and the first time seeing it up close in person was a 747 Northwest Airlines sitting outside the hangar at MSP, had up close view of the nose and fell immediately in love with airplanes and especially the 747! There is no better machinery that’ll ever beat airplanes, not even cars can’t beat the views of planes.
Why is the camera focused on the engines??? It’s far more interesting to see how the tow gets disconnected and the bypass pin inserted and the ground crews job...
In 1982 I was at JFK for a big air show. They had 747 on static display with the tow bar attached. The tow bar had its weight clearly listed on the sides in large letters: 6000 Pounds
A real miracle AIRPLANE. Thanks to him, Today is the FORM of Aviation and Air Travel. ❤ She will always be the Queen of Planes and the Heavens. 👍❤ And I'm proud of that. Good job up there to maintain a Jambo Boeing 747 Jet. ❤💓👌👍 She has a wonderful voice. It's like my SAMSUNG preload washing machine 1400 RPM when spinning.😍
those big old high bypass engines are what she should have had from the very beginning. They fit her so much better than those teeny low bypass/turbojets she had originally.
I was looking at a map with the Flightrader24 app and saw Korean Air B747-8i going to Honolulu airport. So, was it Korean Air when I first turned on this movie? I was thinking like this, but I really like it
Thanks for the great video Ryan. Great perspective and view that most passengers won't ever see. I've pushed a few heavy's in my career (DC-10's were the largest) but nothing as big as a 747 (Still Queen of the Skies). Were you driving or on the headset or both?
How long must you train to be a tug operator. Have to know what you are doing... It is mind boggling that aircraft fully loaded can weigh as much as 800,000 pounds and still leave the ground...
Sorry my ignorance, but why when the engines are with that power (like the video) the airplane doesn't move? 🤔, I mean how much power need to move it? , or it has a break or what, I don't understand... , and another question when an airplane engines are turning slowly very (slowly), it's dangerous getting close it for someone? I love the airplanes but something I don't understand, I just ask
At idle power with the parking brake set, the aircraft won't move. When the engines are off but spinning, it is not dangerous to walk near the engine because there is no power and the engine has no suction of air. If the engines are running, yes it's dangerous to get close.
The 747 literally changed the world we live in.She will always reign as the queen of the skies.
Sad they’re being used for cargo now.. QFA gave their last 747 a flight this year on August 5-7
Why this plane is addressed as "she" or "queen" when it's a super macho "jumbo jet" :)
gaurav shandilya shes a fat queen
At least the queen if the skies is still operating
And the King is the A380
This is a rare perspective of plane videos to find on UA-cam, especially for a 747-8i. Good Job.
The 747 is a magical machine...can’t believe they were conceived in the early 60’s and have been in service ever since!! Remarkable...

I can never, NEVER get enough of the 747! She is such a magnificent aircraft!
me toooooooooooooooo
She? She? Really? It's 2018 and you are still using gender labels. You are a male chauvinist pig.
so true
@@travisk5589 shut the fuck up lol. Allow people call it what they want to call it. Such a fuckin snowflake jeez
@@travisk5589 so what do we call it? We refferer to planes, ships, and sometimes cars as SHES for no reason tbh, besides, idk. Jus STFU

Shehzad Akram yes sir, u r correct.
@@Max-eu9ge they do they us it to get to US destinations like new york and san Francisco
u are right. without these orders 7478i could have extincted by now
Trump will be big pimpin in two custom air force 1 747-8 in 2021
Also BAW
Hands down, Concorde and the 747 are the most beautiful and most iconic airliners ever built.
The P-38 would like to have a word with you.
I would put the A380 in with that group, and being old enough to see all 3 fly i feel blessed.

Add the DC-3 to that list.

wow I just wow!!
2:16 I’ve been around planes my whole life but don’t get me wrong it sounded like that engine just shifted gears 😂
Holy shit, it does! 🤣

zolob314 yeah, I almost had a job specializing on GE-90’s but I found a much better job
What a beautiful boeing 747!!!
I'm from Korea, and I love Korean Air and B747-8I!! This is wonderful video!!
I did this back in 1971 from this same airport in a brand new United 747......... one of the first ones to fly the LAX to HNL route.
the 747-8i is simply beautiful
I've never seen this view of the 747 before. Beautiful
iM OVER 60 NOW I did my time on these wonderful machines - they will never leave me. No greater engineering feat has ever been achieved. There is nothing more when you have the best.
Last of the grand large aircraft. Great perspective otherwise never seen. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks to the late Joe Sutter,the father of the 747 who created this wonderful machine.May his soul rest in peace.
Man, those are huge engines as compared to the 747-400! Long may the 747-800 fly!

@@ryannagai8295 makes, sense interesting video either way!
Awesome view of the push-back from the driver's seat! You have the best seat and job in the world!
Aviatorspot this was shot from the passenger seat haha
But you are in the seat of the tow truck ? You worked at the airport?
Aviatorspot yes
Being a pilot is better
Aviation gamer rblx I agree
The front right tire looks worn and bald. Is this acceptable?
Excellent stuff!!!
This video was so visually satisfying, I watched till the end, the sound was kinda blocked out by the truck but it look so good, it dident matter
What? No wing walkers?
🤔
There were wing walkers. They were on tugs
@@ryannagai8295 No way! Wing walkers need to be walking, thus the name.
i have flown in them on overseas flight. I love these planes. This followed by airbus 380. I find I can trust them.
Incomparable beauty. Magnificence! Power! 👌🏾
I love the sound of these new engines of the 747 -8 and it's bigger.
Holy god that nose tire needs to be replaced badly. Lol
Going to miss flying on 747's the start up sounds are so different to other aircraft such a nice vibe you get. They are such a pleasure to fly in.
Boeing is also the creator of the A10. A serious piece of military hardware
The A10 Warthog?
🤔
Wow very beautiful view!! Amazing plane !!
Awesome video thank you. How intimidating the bird is when you look up from underneath.
In 1982 I was at JFK for a big air show. They had 747 on static display with the tow bar attached. The tow bar had its weight clearly listed on the sides in large letters: 6000 Pounds
Not the weight of bar, but the pull force.
The most beautiful sight & sound in the world.
This was awesome!
Just effing awesome!!! Let the Queen fly

About 2-3 feet of ground clearance on inboard engines! The Queen!! Finally got a chance to fly her 2 years ago JFK-FRA.
Absolutely bad ass :) I have only flew in one 1 time and that was from LA to Honolulu! what a treat it was!
That seems like a fun job to have!!!
Simply amazing.
AWESOME pushback and "4 good starts."
Good
Thank you for the awesome video that is a awesome view I always wanted to see that, I appreciate that thank you.
Thanks I love Honolulu was there in2000
OMG. Good video. Nice view
Nice to see start from windmilling opposite and leading edge slats extended!
those big old high bypass engines are what she should have had from the very beginning. They fit her so much better than those teeny low bypass/turbojets she had originally.
Try never had turbo jets
That airplane is so beautiful.
Is it me, or does the left front tyre look like it is on its last sector? Super video
No
Off to Seoul!
fantastic footage
Best job in the world. Right airport, right airplane!
Nice vid, hope to see more ;)
Oh! 747-81 not means ANA's ship.
By the way, this movie is exellent quality! good sound!
cool vid! hnl is my airport
wow amazing video
The korean 747 left honalulu and they used the 777 on this route but they brought it back in fall 2018 as a fall and winter seasonal
My first flight on 747 was on the 400ER, very few in the world today. It was QF75, seasonal but great.
Great seeing the engines starting. Do they all spin in a clockwise direction (viewed from the front)?
I don't know haha
Yes, viewed from the front they all spin clockwise. You can tell by the white stripes in the engine nozzle.
Well done bro
Awesome!

Looks like the left tire has been changed recently.
Did not happen at the gate, it was on "B" check lol

How long must you train to be a tug operator. Have to know what you are doing... It is mind boggling that aircraft fully loaded can weigh as much as 800,000 pounds and still leave the ground...
is ture that the apu gives power to the cabin and things in the cookpit or no
No, the APU is used to start the engines.
So, what's the electrical cord for? Jumper cables?
Thats the cord for the pushback driver to talk to the pilots
It’s called a tug or tractor…not a pushback
Sorry my ignorance, but why when the engines are with that power (like the video) the airplane doesn't move? 🤔, I mean how much power need to move it? , or it has a break or what, I don't understand... , and another question when an airplane engines are turning slowly very (slowly), it's dangerous getting close it for someone?

Called windmilling
korean air!!!!!!!!

Super,super video.
I will say it’s easier to pushback in the daytime vs. 3AM...
Facts
Excellent catch!
Is this a game or is it real? I can't tell 😅
Maybe invest in some glasses?
ok..so why does the front right tire look bald asf??..do they not do a inspection prior to takeoff?
Does it push back pretty straight? I pushed back a 747-200 quite a while ago and it wanted to go everywhere except for where I wanted it to go!
I did not push back the aircraft. I was taking video.
Very nice 👍👍 subscribed
Best plane ever built the 747, even the President agrees with this......
AWESOME!!
