I love a 747 in any shape form or fashion. I worked for the Boeing company for 13 years. When the go around was given she gracefully raised her nose to the heavens gathered up her landing gear and started a graceful right turn for her go around and when she did come in not a waver nor a wing dip nor any unsettled movements just the most minimal adjustment from the pilot she touched down once again. The 747 in any configuration is not the easiest aircraft to fly but you Mike Stone make it look like childs play. You are a damn good pilot sir...
Love this, especially the dialog with ATC in the middle! We were fortunate to be there last night as well to see it live, but it's super fun watching it again. Thank you!!
The most Amazing Video of a 747 on approach I have ever seen! I thought my screen locked up,it was like motionless in the air, doing 180 knots! Kudos to a fantastic controller also!
Awesome job by the tower controller here by remembering and following set procedures for large aircraft operations. Definitely could have resulted in a loss of separation or even a possible collision. Thank you atc for everything you guys do to keep us pilots safe!
Great video. Thank you for sharing. The 747: the most incredible and graceful looking passenger plane ever built. A Tri-Star probably comes in second...
I work at ups worldport at sdf, I'm so lucky I get to see these giants every night! It's truly amazing what all ups moves in a 6 hour period. It's absolutely insanity some times!
I love the sun shining through the first stage fans onto the back of the engines at 6:20. Also, you have some really loud birds. Plus, it's a ways to a railroad track, but the train whistle is louder than the jet engines! No complaints, just noticed.
I liked the sun shining through too! The light rail goes in and out of T2 right near where I'm at. I'm not a fan of the horns they blow every time when coming in. I try my best to lower the audio levels else it would be quite a bit louder ;)
I seriously went back and forth 3 times in my head watching this trying to figure out if the video was an actual recording or a MSFS recreation. That’s one perfectly shiny wax job lol
I just can't begin to imagine what it must feel like to a pilot the first time he or she takes off and lands a 747, or any other similarly sized aircraft. It must be fantastic.
What a superb aircraft the 747 is-I miss seeing our beautiful, young QANTAS 747-438ER passenger planes departing near my Sydney home…they were dumped in the desert while still safe, validated, superbly maintained and healthy…
thought my screen froze up a few times. It just looks like this giant beast of a plane is floating in the air, not traveling at 160-180 knots lol. Great job
Still one of the most exquisite Passenger Aircraft of all time, only outdone by Concorde...... RIP. I've only ever been on 4 "Jumbos". In 1976 on Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Johannesburg via Nairobi. In 1991 with Qantas on a 400 from Harare to Perth, (Au). Again in 1991 on a SP Version from Perth to Singapore, followed by on the 400 to Heathrow. I have to say, the SP took off like a rocket! Thank you Boeing.
Nice quiet day at the office. Everyone that is responsible for flight safety just going about the business of being safe and professional, nice to see. Very impressive camera lens too, and good tracking and framing. Well done. 🙂
The tail on that beast is bigger than my last apartment. You make it look majestic. Amazing that we have evolved to making incredible machines like this but can't stop slaughtering each other for a minute.
Not sure, but the fuel cost alone is not trivial. Since the fuel burn is around 3000 gallons per hour (based on what I could find online) we can estimate that a go-around could consume 750 to1000 gallons of jet fuel if touchdown is 15 or 20 minutes later than expected. I think these jets tend to fly with three crew members on board, so that will add a little to the cost, and the maintenance per flight hour on this beast is not cheap.
I agree the camera work was on point. That extra lap around the pattern I can assure you is much cheaper than having to replace a wingtip had they collided
The Queen of the Skies is the most appropriate name ever given to an Aircraft. A top 5 most important aircraft all time. (the other 5 are Orville and Wilburs plane at the 1 slot, The C47 Dakota, The 707, and 737.)
Beautiful! Had never realized that the doors close back on the gear. Love the camera work and that steady panning shot! Are you panning manually or with something that tracks the shot for you?
@@KMSPVideos I'm astonished at your tracking mastery and the clarity of the picture. No chromatic distortion, no visible atmospheric noise, perfect framing and perfect focus. You should try to track the ISS, that would probably be something to see.
wow! wow! such footage! you wonder whether videographer is as...gooood as the pilot - or vice versa. Sorry tower - the day belongs to the pilot and the cameraman!!! great!
Landing airport (for those who don't know) MSP = Minneapolis Saint Paul - landing was from the east crossing Fort Snelling State Park the airport is on top of a Bluff. Metro Transit Light rail train, in the distance, is blowing it's horn
My Dad flew UPS 747-200's & retired in July 2001..He would of hated the Modern Fancy controls in the newer 747's..Old Fart Fly Guy...But I think it's great
I worked in Louisville 98-2000 and my window looked out on the UPS landing flight path. Some days it seemed there was a plane landing every 10 minutes, including lots of 747's. I think the UPS hub is the only reason they call the airport International because the civilian airport was a dump. At least it was back then.
@@Mark-pp7jy actually I do and know what dicks they are… so “professionals” that are unprofessional. PS we don’t push out of concourse A, B, C, D, E, F or G and we don’t model with double breasted suits either. 😜
That was an amazingly stable approach and an even more amazingly stable camera!!! How was this recorded? Is the camera mounted in some kind of motion tacking system similar to the ones used in astronomy?
@@KMSPVideos ... Ok, so how did you do it? I don't believe (but I can be wrong) that it is just a good stable hand in itself. You can see how the image gets briefly destabilized when you operate the zoom during the go-around. Built-in image stabilization? Post-processing stabilization?
I was the pilot flying on the go-around. I HIGHLY approve of this video!
GREAT job Scott! You guys amaze me!
@@ZERO-911 I’m obviously more handsome than Starnes, I’m just a little shorter.
For real though🙂?👍🏼
So how heavy were you while landing this
@@sailaab I don’t remember, not very heavy….500-600k pounds maybe?
@@skydive69 @6:00 why not just use that horn on final?😉😂🍺🇨🇦
@@57Jimmy UPS didn’t pay to have that option installed on their 747-8. I think CargoLux may have it installed.

So cool! I had no idea the 747-8 was equipped with a train horn - awesome!
The horn came from an actual train that was passing by. Listen well, and you can hear the cars noise, rolling down the tracks.
Sure does it was a new mod they did last year, also comes with a tail hook for shorter runways!
Yeah, that was pretty amazing, eh?
A very American train horn sound. Funny, train horns sound different here in Europe
And a bell too!

No clouds, thats the reason why Howard Hughes re-shot Hells Angels.
Your right! No stationary objects or relative motion for comparison!
Thank you for posting. The most beautiful jet ever developed. So sorry to see it fading away.
I don't know which is better. The stable approach, or your camera work! Very nice.
Thank you very much!

It’s UPS
💯% agreed! The L-1011 was/is one sexy plane....... indeed!
Couldn't agree more!
Handled professionally and beautifully by all, including the AirBus pilot.

I think it was the back-to-back queens that took off that day at SDF. This was one of them.
Nice. I've seen the FedEx World Hub from the MEM airport parking lot and that is quite the spectacle. I want to see SDF someday.
@@KMSPVideos I65 gets quite bumpy north of E-town.

Holy smokes this is fantastic! Extremely well documented. Looking forward to more content from you Scott.
Thanks Logan. You guys definitely had a great vantage point on the left turn climb out :)
I agree 100%👍🏼
I just can't begin to imagine what it must feel like to a pilot the first time he or she takes off and lands a 747, or any other similarly sized aircraft. It must be fantastic.
It’s a pretty magical and surreal experience.
Computers do most of the work these days.
@@DaveHarris75 L
Yeah, when you see the cockpit against the rest of the plane it really does make for an impressive sight.
Always great to see the 747 in flight, I have pictures from my uncle, a retired KC-135 boom operator of a tanker version of the 747. KC-747
This does not make sense.
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles! This video has it all!
This video is gold! Very professional on all aspects.
Nothing will ever beat the shear majestic grace of a 747 dancing with the wind on final approach. Fellow avge k here and KCID is where I call home

One of my baby birds out in the wild! Beautiful camera work. Thanks for the amazing video.
Such a beautiful plane and livery.
Stunning capture of this mighty 748 👍✅
Least surprising go around ever. Amazingly clear footage! Thanks for sharing
Nice capture good fly by and good that they banked towards the camera!!!
Great video. Fabulous camerawork. Thanks for sharing. Liked and subbed.
Thanks a lot!

Awesome video just love the Queen of the Skies
Excellent camera work! Really nice video to watch. I only wish you should have shown the map of the airport for a few seconds longer.
The -8 is a beautiful piece of aviation equipment...
Still the most beautiful commercial airliner in the air!
I work at UPS and I love it, maybe I'll be aircrew one day. UPS#1
UPS has excellent pilots. Tower assistance and communication is critical.
Such a majestic lady the b747 ❤️
WOW! Awesome shots of the Queen!
Great camera work and presentation.
Thank you
Definitively; The Queen Of The Skies. There will never be another one!
what a beautifully controlled approach
Your tracking of the aircraft is incredible. No out of frame or jerky movements. what type of stand and tripod head are you using?
Great video - the Queen is everything !
Outstanding camera work....well done!!!
I’m very proud of our pilots at UPS.
Queen of the skies. Also queen of the airfield. Everybody off the taxiways, the queen's in town.
Pretty much :)
Outstanding camera work! 👍
(I wonder how many thousands of dollars the extra lap cost?)

The UPS logo makes it look almost like the plane's going "WEEEEEEEEEEEE!" As it pulls up lol
" props to homie, protocol" 👍
that was some serious camera work..i thought i hit the pause button
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
hats off to cameraman !!!!
Very Nice!
nicely filmed
When the 747 comes in.. You get the hell out of the way A330... The big dog is in town....
Beautiful bird
Amazing bird noise during 2nd approach!

So thaaat's why my package was late getting to Linden Hills. :)
What camera gear are you using? Beautiful video!
Queen of the Skies
Even when she is hauling boxes and envelopes and painted brown, she's still the Queen.
Great tracking shot of the 747. Could have cut that for commercial for either UPS or Boeing.

I was on a 747 landing in Heathrow and we had two go-arounds.
Expensive go around 🙂

just out of curiosity I wonder how much that go-around cost in dollars and cents ? Just thinking numbers here. oh and so elegantly done by the way.
