CORRECTION: The 747 was ferried by the Nomadic* Aviation Group. Hope they perform the Wing-wave maneuver again when they ferry the remaining 747s✈

Dear friend, I'm italian, but very fond of India, my beloved country. Visited the first time on 1971 and my first flight on 747 was on 1974 and the name of the aircraft was " Emperor Shah Jahan" another flight on " Emperor Akbar" and another one was " Emperor Rajendra Chola" So sad to see these wonderful aircrafts out of service. My next flight to India ( do really hope so) would be next november and will be my farewell to India. I'm quite old and the glorius days of my life are quite over. My home is in Jaipur ( a little wonderful cozy hotel) But I will miss Mumbai too. All the best Friend and thanks for Your videos.
Thank you Sir! I'm glad you like my videos. I was born in 1994 and started spotting in 2010, by then Air India had retired all its 742s, 743s and repainted 744s with the new livery. I never got to spot them in their glory days, let alone fly them. Knowing that you got to fly them during their Maharaja phase makes me happy. I'm sure you must have had memorable flights! Back then Air India 747s were truly the Palaces in the sky! I hope you book your final flight via Mumbai. So that you can spot the remaining 747s one last time!😃👍
@@Vaibhav_Shah Thanks for Your reply; I hope to fly to India again, as I wrote to you and have just 2 days in Mumbai; very short time, just to say good bye to this wonderful town, so beloved, where had very lovely moments. But all is over....... I 'll be there next november the 11th and 12th ( God willing) Are you in Mumbai ?
Thanks for your reply and good luck for your life
@@mariodonato2555 Are you still in India? (22 dec)
It's not a machine , It's an emotion ❤🥹
Love you Air India 747 😊
Queen of the skies forever 🫡
Absolutely 💯 👑
You can’t help but feel emotional watching this video. The 747 has an ubiquitous place in every Indian’s heart wherever they live. Such a graceful machine. It felt as if the aircraft was feeling sad leaving its home of so many years
Absolutely mate. We love all aircraft but the Queen has a special place in our hearts!👑
The 747 should never be forgotten what a big era it has started
💯🎯
this is pure Gold bro.....thanks a ton......this is nostlgia..in 1999..i had travelled from Dubai to Mumbai ..flight was named Priyadarshini.....in the business class on the upper deck......The QUEEN STILL REIGNS IN OUR HEARTS......
Thanks man! Hope you had a memorable flight! And yes, the Queen will always reign in our hearts!👑
nothing can beat the beauty of the queen the AIR INDIA 747❤💙
Absolutely!🎯💯👑
This very plane was the first plane I saw irl and thought "Wow planes are bigger than I thought they'd be" thus began an obsession with aviation.
Haha I can totally relate! 💯
Although I never had the privilege to travel on an AI 747, I have flown on Lufthansa and Qantas 747s. Feel quite lucky to have experienced flights on them.
Great video mate! Keep them coming.
Thanks a lot. Lucky you. Hope you had memorable flights.😀
In skies vast, the queen once soared,
Majestic wings, tales untold,
With grace she danced, her legacy defined,
Farewell, dear queen, your spirit enshrined.
Wishing our beloved 747 a wonderful post-retirement life. Still have memories of having flown on them on the Delhi - Hyderabad route when I was just about 12 years old back in 2018.
747 mai bethne ka sapna...Sapna hi reh gaya :(
Mera bhi😭😭😭
Mera Bhi guys😔😔
Me too
Mera udaane ka sapna 😢
@@Vaibhav_Shahyou can still sit in B747 through Lufthansa
I follow a lot of BOM spotters. Man trust me you are a gem out of everyone! You are the best ! Quality hai boss.
Thank you so much 😀🙏
from congratulating him for 2k now congratulating him for 38k......vaibhav came a long way.keep on going man!!!!!!
Thank you so much 😀🙏
I gave her a salute as I watched fly past me from Juhu beach! Will really miss seeing the queen in the sky! I always wanted to fly on the queen once on a domestic route, but never got the chance.
Same here!😭
It’s amazing how these magnificent planes take on personalities to so many of us.
When you think about how many 1000s of lives that one plane changed….
the new beginnings…
the ending of stories…
the jobs it created and ended…
Somehow it seems like something so important in creating people’s life stories deserves to shared with everyone.
Maybe someday someone with more time and resources can collect a pile of personal stories from people that had their lives change because of this one Indian Queen of the Sky♥️
Godspeed indeed, Queen. Thanks, Vaibhav, for bringing us a wonderful video of Agra's final flight from Mumbai! Your content is always top-notch!
Thank you so much for your kind words 😀 🙏
Finally saying good bye with a heavy heart to Air India Boeing 747 (Queen of India )

WOW✈ Thank you so much for your videos. It's amazing to see the Queen of the Skies from an airport halfway around the world. Your work is appreciated!
Thanks a lot. I'm glad you liked it!😀🙏
I remember when I was 10 year old , we used to sit on airport boundary wall at jarimari and had seen AI 747 , on entering runway , take a left turn and come near the wall , as if covering maximum area, allowed for its take off run . My heart used to run towards this flying queen , wanting it to lift me in her arms . My dream of flying with her came true with Mum - Hyd return flight on Velha Goa . I felt blessed .
So many memories of the Queen. I'm glad you got to fly onboard her. Hope you had an amazing flight!😀
@@Vaibhav_Shah Indeed Vaibhav , it was like dream come true for me .
This iconic queen of the skies with Air India livery will dearly remain in our memories and heart.Was fortunate to fly in one of them named Fatehpur sikri on Mumbai Ahmedabad route. Will miss you always our queen of the skies and palace in the sky.
She will be missed.😢
You did a great 👍 job capturing the bittersweet moment of Air India's Boeing 747 leaving the fleet. It's sad to see such an iconic aircraft retire, but your video beautifully preserves its legacy. Farewell to the Queen of the Skies! ✈️🛫
Thank you so much mate! I really wanted to capture her well before she was gone forever!
The Queen will be Missed ❤️
Great job brother
Thank you!😀
Amazing video! Sad to see the mighty Boeing 747 go.
Thank you 🙏
4:00 the striped white air India's Boeing 747 is standing at Mumbai airport on the left side hanger so we can have an hope that some Indian cargo or an airline will accuire the single Boeing 747 in some days and will be seeing it soon don't worry guys this queen of the sky will be with us or flying with intl airlines or in Indian sky's ❤ btw thanks for showcasing the video love your work vaibhav bro
Hope that bro sees this comment and all viewer's
Glad you like my work. BTW, the 747s are already sold to an American firm as mentioned in the video so chances of seeing them in an Indian registration again are gone.
Thank you Vaibhav, we Indians will make Air India great again Globally.
Glad to hear that!💯
Lovely video Vaibhav, it truly is a sad day to have the AI 747's no more a part of its fleet..😞
Wonderfully captured by you aswell. All Hail The Queen, Always !🙌🏻☠
Thank you so much!😀🙌🏼👑
Last time I came from Bengaluru to Mumbai I had seen the Queen landing, this time I saw it leaving :( Gonna miss the queen:((
We will indeed miss her!👑
Was waiting for this video of yours since 22nd april
Thank you for your patience.😀👍
Goosebumps.
May you continue fly high "Queen"
"Mumbai Airport will not be the same anymore" these lines hit hard
An emotional take off for all the Air India 747 lovers
Vaibhav thanks a lot for capturing it and captioning it so beautifully🥺❤
"Menu vida karo" song playing in my mind watching this🥺🥺
Thank you so much!😀🙌🏼👑
Bhai finally apka video aagaya 😊
😀
what an amazing farewell video of the queen , surely gonna miss it
Thank you😀🙏
I was waiting for your video, fantastic catch!
Thank you very much! Hope it was worth the wait!😀
@@Vaibhav_Shah It is, always.
Thanks You for the great video. Your fan from Mexico
Thanks a lot. Cheers from India🇮🇳🤙
Thank you for this video Vaibhav.
😀🙏
It brings tear to my eyes every time i see this video😕AI 747 love you from Nepal ❤️
👑
Long Live the 747... The true Queen of the skies. *A380 has nothing on her*
👑
Great video. Miss seeing this aircraft at london heathrow after so many years.
Thank you!
@@Vaibhav_Shah Most Welcome 😊
Was in my house and had the blessed privilege of seeing her in the skies one last time 😭
Glad you got to see her! It was a memorable flight!👑
Im actually so proud that it was nicknamed after my city, Farewell queen 🕊❤️
🇮🇳👑
Thanks to you, because of you only we have captured her last time through your lens.❤
Thanks a lot!😀🙏
Yk what my eyes TEARED up while watching this and your lucky to see the 747 of air India’s 😭😞
🥲👑
Great video. Why couldn’t you show the wing wave? Was really looking forward to seeing it!
Let's just say that spotting at Mumbai Airport comes with its challenges and I faced one of them in that moment. I wish I could have captured it. But I can't do anything about it now sadly.
Vaibhav l personally feel that you must have been overwhelmed by emotions and so could not face her waving good bye to Mumbai on her last journey .
@@rajendrapatankar2693 believe me, irrespective of the emotions I was having, I wouldn’t have missed the wing-wave if I had the prior information about it and if it wasn't for the issue at the location. Hope the pilots perform it again when they ferry the remaining 747s. Hope to capture it at least once.🙏
Queen ❤❤
Beautiful video ❤❤
Thank you!!😀🙏
Good bye queen😞. Thank you for your service
👑
747 will always be in my heart❤
👑
And the QUEEN departs to her native place from her palace for the last time, Will dearly be missed.....
💯👑
Brilliant video - well done Sir
Thank you! Cheers!😀🙏
We miss you air india queen
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
💯👑
We love you air india ❤ we will see you again as the queen of the skies 🥺
👑
I had an opportunity to see this plane in action in Prague 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Will miss it!
That must have been a VVIP flight. Hope you have good pictures/videos of the flight😀
Great Video, BTW the flight was operated by Nomadic Aviation, not Nordic
Yes, you are right!✅ My bad! Thank you for the correction!🙏
when I was a child, We used to go from Bahrain to Bombay by these giants ( they used to stop from London) and even then I was amazed by tthe size of them. Sorry to see them go despite all the righ reasons
Exactly mate..
It was my dream to fly in that beautiful aircraft 😢,
Mine too!
Once i flew on Air india 747 it was like a dream come true im like still soo happy that once in my life time i flew on this queen i cannot be more happy but im sad that air india is removing 747 fully from their fleet sad :( rip the queen of the skies 😢
I'm glad you got to fly onboard her. Hope you had an amazing flight! I never could. My dream will be a dream forever!
@@Vaibhav_Shah I wish you get a chance to go to Germany so you can fly on a 747 on lufthansa....
But nothing can beat the beauty of air india on a 747. But I really want your dream to sit on a 747 to come true. I will pray for you man
Aah, man... atleast the Tata's should have made it refurbish according to the days to the Vintage A.I. and should have made it a place where you can experience fine dining in the similar lines to that of Vintage A.I. used to be...!!
2007, when My designed logo got selected for Air India. I feel Sad and Happy at the same time.. My work has gone with our beloved Queen!😐
😯
What?
Cap 🧢
We missed the wing maneuver in your shot....hope that unfortunate incidence was limited to that only and u r safe.... missing wing maneuver moments was completely unfortunate but i must say that the details that you shared in captions are priceless.... wish for the remining ones u could capture that as well.... ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Nilay! You're right. Hope I can get the wingwave when the remaining 747s depart.🤞🏼
@@Vaibhav_Shah definitely u would get it...thanks...best wishes always
Can't believe it 😢😢 . Miss you queen 👑 B747 😢😢
I know right😢👑
Latest news: This B747 has fortunately been preserved at Roswell Air Centre as part of a private collection by Quintin Soloviev.
At least someone gave this jet the respect it deserves.
Still remember my father used to take me to Jari Mari/ Bail Bazar since 1995 to spot the flights. Then Mumbai was AI's main hub.
Spotted back to back AI's 747s landing and take off for several times along with other 747s. Glory Glory AI.
Those were the days.✨
Vaibhav , wish you could do the favour of notifying aviation lovers in advance, as to when next 747 is due to depart , so that they may see the queen and store the memory in their heart ,for life time .
Looks like you missed the post where I asked my subscribers the information of her departure. Why would I ask if I already knew the answer.😅 Believe me, I'm as clueless about her takeoff date/time as the majority of people here. Keep an eye out though. Twitter seems like a reliable source of info at the moment.
@@Vaibhav_Shah Vaibhav , as you had known the earlier one's departure and time , and were able to spot it , your viewers like me expect to get the info about the next one from none other than you , our most trusted spotter . All the best for the next spotting of the queen .
2023, i had a flight from bengaluru to indore with a stop at Mumbai. Was grateful to see her. Unfortunately didn't get a chance to fly with her
Same here man!
Stunning😮
😀🙏
I remember my mother told me she have travelled on 747 from uae to Jeddah to Calicut , unfortunately i wasn't able to at that time 😢 gonna miss maharaja a lot❤
Will miss her indeed💯👑
i like the old livery of air india with black nose it was too good
Their retro liveries were awesome!
Best❤❤
Thank you!😀🙏
I’m happy that I got to sit in the legendary air India Boeing 747
Lucky you!😀
Always nice sir
Thank you 🙏
❤❤
😀🙏
"Good Bye " Queen 🙏👏😔
🇮🇳👑
Wait can I know the date when this flight took off. I’m making an edit
Watch the video again. Date mentioned at the start. And I hope you're not using my videos for your edit.
I miss seeing the air india 747 land at heathrow
I miss seeing her too!
Miss you❤
💯👑
Farewell queen 🙏

747❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

3:59 there's another one in the background
There total 4 airframes at the airport that morning. Only 3 left now.
0:41 Indigo as always cutting into the line..😅
To be honest, on this day, I was happy to see more Indigos. It meant I could spend more time with the Queen. I was hoping for dozens of Indigo A320s to land while the Queen was holding short of the runway. Sadly, there wasnt much traffic on arrivals and she didn't hold for too long.
RIP!
She hasn't been scrapped yet.🤞
Awesome
Thank you 😀
Thankyou for your amazing service AI b747.😊😢
💯👑
Super super
Thank you🙏
there was a b747 in the back, what happened to that
Still in storage..
damn this was already a month ago… I guess its gone then, farewell 747
😢
Heart breaking
💯
😢😢
🥲
Air India operates it's new livery A350-900s in domestic sector and 777s snd 787 fleets in international sectors.
Air India operates its A350s on international routes as well now!
at 2:40 why is there another air india 747 in the background??
Because 3 more are at the airport.
Where was "agra" going to in this vid?
To Roswell via Paine Field.
Sadly all 4 are going to get scrapped😢 2 at roswell and 2 and at BOM. I didn't even got hear her P&Ws roar. Those queens were easily flown for more 5-6 years. Idk why there was need to sell them instead of using for long hauls ? Farewell queen, you will be missed forever. Still FR24 map shows 4 AI747s instead of 3😢 Mumbai is now incomplete
Totally agree with you but we Indians mostly business and government people lacks emotions they are money minded people otherwise they would have turned it into museum
I wonder the same. Didn't expect the Tatas to retire them without even giving a proper farewell.
Why couldn't they keep just one 747
I know man! At least one should have been preserved and showcased in a museum!
@@Vaibhav_Shahpaise ka chakkar vaibhav bhaiya paise ka chakkar💸

So beautiful video 🥹💙
Thanks a lot 😀 🙏
