  • A RARE treat indeed!
    This will likely be re-edited for sound as I went overboard getting the engine grind in the mix.
    American Airlines received their their Boeing 747 jumbo jets before the massive Dallas Ft Worth International Airport was completed (1974) So they had fly them from the long time original port of air service for the city of Dallas from it's Love Field Airport facility.
    Check it out!

    I didn't know American Airlines had 747's when AA flew out of Dallas Love Field before Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport was built. Thank you for sharing!

      Oh yeah, they had them a few years before DFW, I'm sure they scheduled them to do RONs in LAX, ORD and JFK.

    What a sight she is! I remember the SP's well, but the sight of a fully grown 747 in AA colours? That's amazing!

      Now that comment had me in stitches Flash, it kinda sounds like 747s are born as -SPs and they grow to be fully grown adult 747s (which actually looks to be the case when they are next to one another. But in truth the adult size came first then came the baby - like in real life! Thanks for checking in buddy!

    I can't believe that American only operated the 741 for only 14 years and that they never started a 747 family like United.

    A great video of a true veteran 747. It's a little pity the original sound has been overdubbed. This is one of the very few YTvideos that shows a 747-100 fitted with blow-in doors at the engines.
    In the "original" video soundtrack you actually hear their typical whistling pretty clearly. It would be rreally cool if you could "remaster" the original sound and adjust it to the movement of the plane - so we finally get the impression the Jumbo was filmed in 2020. :-)

    Sorry but you ruined the video by editing the sound and putting it in a loop. Frankly it´s unnecessary as your videos are great. But this time it just does not cut it.

    • @Starboard76

      Yeah, it's different on the desktop where I edited it, I certainly did go overboard with grind..I'll probably re-cut this week.

    Airport 75 actually still had the American Airlines cheatlines on it.
    Also what's up with the audio when the plane flies past?

    • @Starboard76
      @Starboard76  4 роки тому

      I attempted to enhance the engine grinding sound. Yes true re: Airport '75 to bad they put little effort in title design for the fictitious 'Columbia Airlines' titles.

      I think it was "Airport '77" had more of the American Airlines colors & in one scene in the hangar you can get a glimpse of the logo on the tail fin. I know a UPS 747 was used in the movie "Airport 75" which never knew until I saw a post post ftom Dallas/Ft, Worth International Airport on Twitter in the past year or so which still have the picture which I thought was very interesting. Those Airport movies were great which have the trilogy on DVD & still have the first 3 on VHS.
