  • Due to dense fog covering half of the runway, this brand new Boeing 747-8i Lufthansa D-ABYL cuts through it with a missed approach and returns to the other end of the runway a few minutes later to softly put the aircraft on the ground.
    Filmed: 1-26-2014 KPAE Paine Field in Everett, WA USA.

    So love the design of the B747.... I flew the -100 , -200, -300 and the -400 as a flight attendant for many years.... It's just simply a beautiful aircraft. No other aircraft types can beat its beauty in the skies....

    Always wanted to fly on a B747 ever since the 70s. Never thought it would happen. Then in 2014 we was on a scheduled flight from the UK to Hong Kong with cathay Pacific and when we got to HK a lady was stood with mine and my gf's names on a card. I was like eh? She said our plane had burst a tire on landing and we had to move to a earlier flight from another gate. When we got to the gate I couldn't believe my eyes when out of the window sat a gleaming B747 400 in all her glory. I was in tears of joy and the lady at the gate was confused and thought I was a nervous flyer and marked me on the system as a nervous flyer so I got moved to seats with extra leg room and was treated like I was in first class. I was sat just to the front of the wing on the right hand side. Then the beast turns to the runways starts to throttle up then bag we start thundering down the runway. I was in aww at the size of the wings and the amount of flex they had. Its a shame they retired them shortly after but am glad to have been lucky enough to fly on one of the most iconic planes ever built.

    • @dougborrett3566
      @dougborrett3566 7 років тому +10

      The A-380 looks short and dumpy because of it's double deck configuration the 747-8 looks more sleek, more in proportion, it's my favourite plane too.

    What a beautiful bird. With regard to the "old design/project" comments below, it seems obvious (or should be) that exceptionally good design, performance, safety and durability/reliability (with sensible updates for capacity, fuel economy, safety and performance) never get old.
    Bigger and/or newer are fine, but she's been the queen of the skies for over four decades for good reason.

    From birth on I was - because I am european - as I grew up more "for" AIRBUS. But when I was 11 years or so (mid 80s) there was no airbus and I LOVE the 747 because it is so huge and so good looking. And even if we have "our" A380 now, I can't decide what I like more. They look both great, but the 747 was there in the 80s, when I was a young kid and parents took me in these monsters to holiday...

    dont know if i am so obsessed with 747 or not. all her features are shaped so beautiful. the nose, the tail fin, tail section, the wings and the upper deck. everything is designed so beautifully and in the right proportion. she is indeed the queen of the sky. wish boeing will sell more of these beauties and so she will be flying in the sky for all the years to come. comparing with that a380 she is just an ugly piggy shit flying in the sky.

    I fully agree the 747-8 is a splendid aircraft. I wish Virgin Atlantic would by them instead of the A350.
    I recently flew from London to Las Vegas on a 747 400 shortly before landing there was a loud roar from the engines followed by a climb and a hard left turn.
    The pilot explained that they were too close to traffic in front of us and that the aircraft had aborted the landing.
    I didn't know that a plan such as the 747 could make decisions on its own.

    They deployed the RAT (Ram Air Turbine) for some reason...look at point 1:42 and you'll see it spinning on the belly. RAT's are normally only deployed in an emergency loss of all or most hydraulic systems. In the case of the 747-8 their RAT could be either a last ditch hydraulic pump or last ditch generator (I don't know the 747-8 that well). The L-1011 (which I was an FE on) had a RAT also and it was a last ditch hydraulic pump.

    • @lake4erie37
      @lake4erie37 7 років тому

      For all the RAT questions...this was a test flight out of Boeing Field. IIRC; it's SOP to test many systems on these flights; thus the RAT was deployed to do its initial in-flight testing. Simple answer.

    @bobbypaluga4346 7 років тому

    Such a great aircraft, the lengthened deck doesn't hurt the beautiful lines, rather it looks even better.There is no mystery to the 4 engines, if two engines could provide enough thrust they would reduced the number down. It's not a negative, but a necessity In a large aircraft. Very large aircraft are specific to hub and spoke flying, the 787 serves another market where you can fly international high demand destinations from a smaller city non-stop,. You can't run daily 747 service from Denver to Tokyo, but you can fill a 787. Delta isn't buying the 787 but the 350's which may have too many seats to do the same thing out of their SLC hub to Tokyo and/or Hong Kong. American has the 787 but they haven't decided to use it to fly PHX to distant European high demand cities or Tokyo/Hong Kong
