I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The 747 is the most beautiful jetliner ever built and Pan Am is the most beautiful livery ever painted on the queen of the skies.
Indeed!
I just couldn't agree more.
So simple and majestic😊
@@speedbirdconcordeBOAB not as beautiful as your face
frenchfry obviously
This is when airlines provided cabin service. Pan Am had one of the best. I flew a brand new Pan Am 747 clipper in 1971 and the experience was unforgettable. A huge contrast with whatever was available at the time. The ample room, the myriad of seats, the aisles, the TV screens, multiple lavatories, the loft (upper deck lounge). And still no other jumbo aircraft looks better than the 747, particularly with the Pan Am logo. Pan Am made the going great!
No tv’s just the movie screens with painful ear phones!!!
47 years ago, still the most beautiful sight.
Eaton Moore Cox so you have not looked /seen the Concorde, and, V.C10 then.

Hard to believe 1970 is 50 years ago....
Yup True
I assume the crew on that flight are no longer with us anymore.
@@westerlywinds5684 most flight crews during those times are in their late 30s or in their 40s or 50s. So the youngest flight crew would be probably over 80 years of age as of now and no doubt retired for a long time. But yeah i don't think a lot of them live anymore.
no it's 74 years ago
That's some fine-ass vid quality for 1970 god bless.
It’s 1970, not 1910.
@@Thesweaterfactoryhuh
@Thesweaterfactory many films from the 70s were blurry.
The quality of video is amazing. I can’t believe it was taken 50 years ago. 😮
1:16 The sound of those Pratt & Whitney JT9D engines whistling are incredible
Those JT-9 turbofans blew me away the first time I heard them in 1970. The buzz-saw sound was an octave lower than the JT-3s on the 707 and DC-8. So the 747 not only looked twice as big, it sounded that way.
It had the best sound I know
My eyes hurt from this beauty
The A380 is its ugly brother.
Sadly, A 380s are already being scrapped.
Entered service decades too late.
Twin jets are in demand, narrow or wide body
This quality is freakishly good for 1970. The fps is so high. This looks like it was recorded in 1980.
Until 1997 it would look like that.
I just love 💕 them beautiful sounding P&W JT-9D engines and the beloved classic Boeing 747!!!
The classic 747-100 has such graceful and exquisite design and beauty it can never be outmatched by the modern variants. The roaring choir of four JT9D engines gives the soul to this magnificent piece of engineering marvel!
Sad that basically no 747-100s exist anymore
@@nottelling8129 actually there's still very little Boeing 747-100s still flying however only 2 of the -100s regularly flies today.
Nowadays, you mostly see cargo 747s in the sky. On a clear day, when one is approaching at cruise level, you can instantly tell. They look so slim and well designed, almost like an arrow. Beautiful.
I worked for almost thirty years the skies as cabin crew, and the 47 was just awesome to work on. In fact, my first long-haul was to EWR back in the 90s. That aft cabin was a tough one to work. But take off and landing at the 5L 5R crew stations with those big door windows was always awesome! Kai Tak anyone?
I am just grateful for all the experiences and adventures I was able to make. All the awesome people, laughs, visiting places all around the world.
That rasping sound of the early JD9d-3A engines with the open inlet doors. The FAA almost refused to certify them because of the engine surges and the loud noise. The early 747-100 operators like Pan Am,JAL and Lufthansa changed the JT9d-3a to the more powerful and much quieter JT9d-7 engines. The inletdoors were gone because of new nacelles. They didn.t change the whole engine,P&W delivered kits to the airlines so they made the changes
from the 3a to the 7 themselves.KLM had the first batches of the -200 with the 3A engines but they were all changed with the -7 kits. But it took a year after the first commercial flight to change them because P&W had so many issues to solve with the 3A,s.. The -100 was almost underpowered with the 43,500 pounds of thrust so the change to the 45.000 pounds -7 was really needed and this engine boosted reliabelity.Those 3A engines were a disaster. So bad that Lufthansa went to court to get changes from P&W. In the first year of service Pan Am had teams at every major airports to change engines. But the JD9d was new territory,the first high bypass engine,a quantum leap in technology.And no computers to help design them. So much respect for the engineers back then.All in all,Joe Sutter did build the most beautiful flying machine ever. I love this take off back in 1970,for that time a good quality film and of course the beautiful back then brandnew 747-100. So gracefull and beautiful sounding. For me the finest airliner in the world. The only and truly Queen of the Skies. P.s and i love the rotating beacons on those early 747s.
Thanks so much for your excellent detailed description of this indeed excellent aircraft. I knew nothing about them, other than its a pan am 747!
My aircraft experience was limited to my air force era with kc135.
Was lucky enough to fly with her as a kid from JFK to LHR - Got spoiled like a little prince in first class as my mom worked for the airline.😁
that’s so cool
Early film of a PA 747-121 taking off from London Heathrow (runway 28R as it was numbered then). The only engine option at this time was the P&W JT9D-3A (as noted by the nacelle air inlets).
@Dre Montoya the DC-10-10 powered by CF-6-GE-6D

Blow in doors were used on early 707s, 737s, 747s ,LOCKHEED C 141s and C 5s.

@@seeburg220 but American would retire their Boeing 747 very early.
She shakes the earth when she takes off. The 747 must’ve been quite a sight for the time. Even for as old as this video is the 747 is still a beautiful bird.
I very clearly remember the first second I saw a Pan Am 747 at JFK in 1970 - it was truly stunning. I was shocked that anything that size could fly!
Now that's a plane! Today's engines are too quiet for me. Miss that powerful sound
Same with almost everything: cars, trains and buses. It's like everything has been piped down.
It's a beautiful aircraft that still turns heads 50 years later. I always wonder how they get airborne every time I watch them.
I never flew in Pan Am, but I miss it.
Classic 747 and classic Pan Am logo. I was lucky to fly twice on Pan Am 747 from JFK to Karachi, Pakistan during mid 1970s. Great and friendly service

I am SOOOOOOOO sad they retired this queen and pan am 747 because it’s my favourite livery of Boeing 747 RIP Queen Of The Sky 😢
BOAC had the best livery with the gold speedbird. Still, an awesome sight and one I will never tire of.
Thats so cool in the 70s
Wow the quality looks elegant for the 1970s camera
I forgot how elegant those early model 747s were.
I flew all over the world on PA in my 20's. I was on one of their last trips out of GIG. Worldpass Platinum at 26.
Lucky You! 😎
The classic queens of the skies!
THAT is the sound I HAVE BEEM MISSING!!!❤🥰😍🥴
queen of the sky
Back when you could actually go on the runway
the early 747 sounds like c-5a
Exactly. U R damn Right! U can see my comment above. The Jt9D is Tf39's Twin
I ENJOY SEEING THE PLANES TAKE OFF!!
The typical roaring sound at full throttle take-off is what many people are crazy about 747, which can't be found in cutting age 747-8 or 8i or even latest versions of 747-400.
The 747-100 is the best variant of the Boeing 747 and the engine design looks cool
That's actually GE's design. Not PW's. The GE TF39 looks as same as this one. It was bcoz when TF39 was designed as the ever first hi-bypass engine, for C-5 Galaxy, PW made another similar looking jet engine, called the JT9D, which is used in the B-747-100. Only difference between TF39 and JT9D is that TF39 has an N1 Turbo inside
Beautiful Pan Am, Beautiful 747 ❤👍
50 years ago incredible!
An incredible feat of engineering. The fact that a giant plane can get off the ground and fly. The 747s were legendary. I flew on some of them in the 1980s when I was a kid. British airways. air Caledonia and Air New Zealand
Good god those old engine’s are loud though 😬 but they sounds so good 😌
Wonderful and sad at the same time.
That’s exactly the feeling I have!
1:16. Look at those engines! The JT9D in its original version looked almost identical to the GE TF39!
AMAZING
Beauty of all planes
When I worked for PAN AM and flew on different aircraft type. Here goes a critique. The original 747 were lumbering, shaking, rumbling. The first time I flew on PAA A310 I thought WOW. is this smooth quite like sitting in living. Now remember that was 30 years ago older technology. Those were the Days.
Interesting, because my first flight on an A-300 (Continental), my impression was, that it was rattly and not put together well.
Another great Thames video @
PanAm was a great airline.
Too bad wasn't bailed out like today's lower quality and service airlines.
Hermoso video
How could our (USA) flagship airline have disappeared? A real shame.
Starting at around 1:39, notice the FSX AI Traffic Jet sounds?
That's a CF6-50C engine sound
THE PAN AM WORLD PORT OPENED IN 1970 , OPEN HOUSE. YOU WOULD NEVER SEE THAT TODAY . I REMEMBER CLIPPER VICTOR BEING THERE THAT DAY.
Hermoso avión ✈️
Fucking Awesome !!!
Alongside the British Airways 747-400, the most iconic plane
I can't believe this was 50 years ago
Is this footage from the first 747 revenue flight? If it is, then this aircraft has a history in itself. Not only was it the plane that operated the first revenue flight, it was also the first 747 to be hijacked, and in 1977 would be destroyed in the world's worst air disaster at Tenerife.
That was just the start of the Queen of the skies career, and 54 years on... they're almost gone now... 😢. Replaced by very bland alternatives
Beatyful
To see PA stories - Melancoly !!!!sjust

Hermoso despegue
Early 747s had loooooong takeoffs.
Cool
There is still a Concorde languishing at 27L at the start of the runway that this film started to this day G-BOAB.
Hasn't flown since August 2000.
I know I prefer the original paint scheme to the later billboard schmaltz big letters. Didn't sell any more tickets, but execs had to do something with their time to remain relevant.
JT9D - the Exact Commercial Rival and the Commercial Version of TF39 made by PW
Classic
1:10 - 1:25 JT9D symphony!
That’s the truth!
Is this the same Pan Am 747 that met it’s tragic end in Tenerife on March 27th, 1977?
I can't make out the Clipper name.
The registration of this 747 seems to be N770PA, and more film at ua-cam.com/video/C7xFyupoDbo/v-deo.html. Tenerife was N736PA. This is an early film as the engines are JT9D-3A. Make a nice sound!
Just as followup on this thread (not snarking whatsoever!) ... *N770PA* was 1st delivered to, and operated by, Pan Am until ~1988 ... ultimately ended up as F-GKLJ operated by Corsair then Air Mediterranee. It was scrapped circa 2001.
N770PA was named "CLIPPER QUEEN OF THE PACIFIC" (5 words).
Viewing this clip at ~timepoint 0:10 one can see the Clipper name is (in total) 3 words, "Clipper WORD2 WORD3"
Word2 appears to be a titch shorter than "Clipper" and Word3 appears to be a titch longer than "Clipper." Freezeframe capture DPI multiply sharpen and the first letter of Word2 very strongly appears to be a "Y." Alas, that's only a definite 'maybe'.
Nevertheless, some interesting history comes into play. Because Tenerife Pan Am 741 was "Clipper Victor" (2 words) and thus, definitely not 3 words (also not Clipper Queen of The Pacific). _However_ ... The maiden pax 741 flight was from JFK to Heathrow, "Clipper Young America." Just prior to departure, it came back to gate with engine warnings...and a replacement was quickly called in, "Clipper Victor." Clipper Victor was renamed, for the maiden flight (as I understand it) to "Clipper Young America" thusly 'becoming' the 741 that was initially supposed to go to Heathrow. I.e. a bit of a switcheroo. This '2nd' "Clipper Young America" conducted that maiden flight to Heathrow, and continued operating for about a year. Then was hijacked. After that hijack, the name was reverted to "Clipper Victor" b/c folks wouldn't want to fly on a jet that had been hijacked.
So it's 1971/2 ish and now again, Clipper Victor. ~6 years later, a Clipper Victor was as we know, the Tenerife Pan Am 741.
So, I believe that "yes" physically, the a/c above is the Tenerife 741...however in the vid it was (at the time of the video) Clipper Young America - having been Clipper Victor thence renamed to Clipper YA for the JFK-UK Maiden flight), thence renamed back to Victor after hijack remaining Victor for ~5-6y until the Tenerife tragedy.
Summary: I think, YES insofar as it is (I believe) the same physical aircraft. NO insofar as it was a different Clipper name.
ERGO, the answer to the OP question is "yes and no." Tho, I doubt anyone got this far anyway but - that's my 0.02. Don't spend it all in one place :)
There Final Flight From Heathrow Including Fly Over Was In An A310 Sadly :(
That's the same plane I flew on in 1974.
GO Cliffer!!

What's with the square holes on the engines?
old PW JT9D version had these air intakes which would open usually at full throttle, if I remember correctely. Updated JT9D versions didn't have that
@@lelekoJumboJet yes, they are the first release JT9D-3A
@@lelekoJumboJet No. This Design is of GE TF39. The JT9D was made by GE's rival, PW. See the engines closely. They look very much similar 2 C-5A or C-5B galaxy's tf39 engine. PW made the JT9D with the Exact Look of the TF39, 2 rival it.
@@JishyFishy4106 yeah but the 747-100 was equipped with PW JT9D engines, it was never fitted with TF39s.
@@lelekoJumboJet Read my comment fully. I meant when GE had made the TF39, PW made an engine 2 rival it with Exact Looks, Sounds and Features. This engine is the JT9D. The JT9D was originally made in such a manner that 1 could easily confuse it with TF39. Therefore, the square holes were initially found in TF39 and not JT9D. The only difference is that tf39 had an n1 fan while jt9d negative had an n1. Hope u understand/stood

PanAm Got shot down in 1991 Because due to many crashes
747-100
The 747 jet clipper is a magnificent bird indeed , but it is somewhat sad when one realizes, that Pan American pushed Boeing to create this masterpiece, only to be heavily strained financially by huge payments and operating costs of the type. Numerous other factors contributed to demise of Pan Am, but investing a large sum in a giant airliner, which usually flew half empty was undoubtedly one of them.

It does look like that …maybe a crosswind doing that

May not have been standard operating procedure back then. The only way to know, would be to look at an original pre-departure checklist. I'm sure someone has one.
In july 1970 I flew out of LHR on a 747-121 to JFK....first flight on the newly built 747! I was by myself and age 14. I ended up as a C-5 instructor flight engineer for the Air Force.
