@@gavinjohnson4628 I think Delta took some of them from the NWA merger, and some converted to cargo. All of Delta's 747 are either stored, sold or scrapped now.
Whats amazing is that you got to see and go inside a Northwest Orient livery 747 in 2016. I thought these would have been scrapped or repainted years ago..
I have played around with the idea of finding a large airplane, having it moved to a piece of property, gut ir out and turn it into a house. The wings would become patio decks. 747 would be perfect to having the master bedroom upstairs. The flight deck could be made into a lounge, or with a little shade-tree engineering, the ultimate flight simulator set-up. The biggest problems would come with the logistics of getting it moved from point A to point B.
I've heard that Delta is actually NWA, which makes sense to a degree because you see that Delta inherited the DC-9s that NWA was still flying them at the time. Also go to Wikipedia for Delta, you see that they declared bankruptcy just before the merger. And today you will see that Delta and KLM are still partners.
Not even, the A380 is a nightmare for almost every airline besides Emirates. Singapore has already scrapped their first A380. Soon you will see the rest of them enter the grave yard. I think the 747-8 will last a little longer in passenger service. But they will be flying for a longtime in cargo.
@@halloweenville1 Airbus over estimated travel demands. It is a giant waste. Now you are seeings Airlines throwing them away after only ~10-15 years because they were failures.
The outer doors of airliners normally can't be locked (in a sense that you would need a key to unlock them). Usually those planes are either flying (hence no access) or parked in a well controlled environment with restricted access and additional surveillance. There's simply no need to lock the doors. The people who get access to the apron of the airport are trusted (after several backtground checks) to not mess around with things they are not supposed to touch. In the "civilized part" of the world this works pretty well. If for whatever reason they want to make sure nobody got inside while the responsible people were not around, they tamper indication stickers (similar to the "warranty void if seal is broken" labels) on all doors and hatches. They don't prevent unauthorized access to the aircraft, but make evident someone was there. (I used to be an airport employee with "all areas" access, so I know the background. ;-) )
They weren't nicknamed NorthWorst for nothing, though! I flew them a number of times, including to and from Japan, via Hawaii. This one time, we got on the plane and the mid-40's flight attendant (stewardess) was really mean. We had just got on the plane, and she was munching on a bag of chips, not saying the traditional on-boarding greeting, and not handing out pillows, magazines or the like; like they usually do. I wondered why her and the other flight attendants had such a bad attitude. It wasn't but a few years later that I was recruited to fly with NW as a steward, (since I also spoke fluent Japanese and conversational German) that when they flew me to Minneapolis for a final interview, did it become apparent as to why the bad attitude. Here's why: 1). Their pay period didn't start until the plane wheels were literally off the ground! However, they were expected to be in uniform and at the airport two hours before! 2). Even if you are more qualified (fluent in the languages served on that route), seniority deems that you need to be there for probably 5-10 years on crappy routes that make you less money, before you can get onto a route that you were actually hired for many years before! 3). They would not get put up in nicer hotels, but on some routes, dangerous dumps. In the staff lounge at NW's HQ, on the day I was there, there was a poster, calling on other flight attendants to bring forth any information that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrator who raped and killed one stewardess in Detroit at the dumpy hotel the crew was put up in. (Guess what route they said I'd be on "for a couple of years"? -Yup! Detroit to Memphis, or some even shorter route.) So, needless to say, I turned them down, because the pay was just horrible, and no guarantee of getting the Japanese or German speaking routes, even in 10 years! THAT explained a lot about the last time I ever flew NW from Honolulu! Those are not ideal conditions to work in. It's no wonder they got the bad nickname, and eventually got bought up. That attitude was from the top, and all the way down to the bottom baggage handlers! Now, as for the BEST airline experience I ever had, was the first time on a jet that I could remember (on a charter airlines: "Atlantis" Super DC-8, from OAK-FRA) as I had gone to Germany as a baby to go see my grandparents a few times before I could remember doing so. Anyway, the best overall experience was with Pan Am in their Clipper Class from SFO-NRT on a 747-SP. (I think that's what plane it was...) Talk about service! The BEST Coach or Economy Class flight and service was from LAX-NRT on Singapore Airlines on a 747-400! (Again, I think that's what the plane was.) Here too, the service was incredible, especially for Coach! Currently I like ANA, JAL and LuftHansa, along with Singapore Airlines. My favorite plane to ride was the Lockheed L-1011-400 TriStar on PSA, TWA, or ANA. Great plane to fly on, and it had a great record of no crashes. It was the first plane certified to land by itself in fog. And, my grandfather was in charge of seeing it built, along with the SR-71 earlier. (He worked in the Skunk Works at Lockheed in Burbank, many years ago.) So, that was a sentimental favorite, as well! I miss that plane and now the 747. Not too many 747s left in commercial service anymore! United just stopped flying them recently, as did a few other airlines. Nice vid and pics! Thank you!
It's unfortunate to see these beautiful planes pass, because they could have been transformed into freighters. They could get another 30 years of use out of those! Good shots of those 747-100s and -200s! Love the vid.
If it was economically viable, they probably would have done it. Too much mainanance, fuel costs, and they were probably over the mandatory lifetime limits.
Here are some reasons. Passengers safety. - too much fuel consumption. - maintenance. - air worthiness. - Replacement parts not produced any longer. - Aged aircraft. outdated instrumentation. and many other issues. The new 747-8 will fly longer, faster use 40% less fuel and 600 passenger among other things. Go read up and let the river flow.
Boeing sets a mandatory service life limit on all their jets. For the 747, I believe it's 165,000 hours in the sky or 50,000 takeoff/landing cycles. Once a jet reaches their limit, they automatically lose their airworthiness and Boeing will not provide service for them. Boeing pushed for service life limits after the Aloha airlines metal fatigue disaster where an old jet with too many cycles suddenly ripped apart. However, most 747s are retired around 110,000 hours because the maintenance costs would drastically increase after that. Recently, 747s are going into early retirement because of poor gas mileage.
Nope. Airbus are life limited due to European certification rules, but most American built jets are not. I don't know how many cycles the oldest 747s have, but a DC-9 was static tested up to 128,000 cycles (pressurization/depressurization) and showed no signs of failure. That's probably equivalent to something over 200,000 flight hours.
I worked for NWA from 2001, till the merger in 2008, then retired from DL in 2020. I started in a small station where we typically had DC-9's overnight. (10's, 30's, 40's and 50's) Every so often we would put a B727 to bed. Compared to the 9's, the 727 was a cavernous beast!
skipped it for this video cause I know me and other people just want to see the 747s. I will be releasing a longer edit that shows that plane and the others not shown here
it is awesome that airlines abandon those aircrafts, so we can explore them and see things where would never come when they would be in service. I have never visited an abandoned plane, let alone a plane like the 747( that would be EPIC), but seeing the queen of the skies from that perspective is in my top 3 bucket list things to do
When I was a kid there was an abandoned airforce base not far from where I lived, they left a few planes and helicopters behind was kind of cool exploring inside a An-24 and climbing on the MiG-21s
I might’ve catered the Northwest 727 here at BNA (Nashville) in the early 90’s. I catered quite a few a day. 747’s were, and still are, pretty rare here.
I miss the old Northwest Airlines. They were my favorite airline as a child, partially because I loved the paint style of their planes, partially because my family always flew with them, and partially because of their huge mural on the side of one of the hangars at Detroit Metro Airport. Thanks for the interesting video.
The Demize of Northwest air was the beginning of the end for the air travel experience. Now it's just filled with stress and subpar amenaties. Used to be that getting to your destination was part of your vacation.

To the person who doesn't understand: Airplanes like other vehicles get old and worn out. These planes are being used as a source of spare parts for other aircraft. What happens a lot is that parts stop being manufactured as time goes on. The 747 currently being built are to a modified design and many parts were phased out and replaced with newer ones. Other older aircraft are kept flying by taking parts from these planes. Frequently the airplanes you find being parted out like this have suffered a severe hard landing and the landing gear and the airframe have serious damage and need reconstruction, the airplane was near mid-life and the reconstruction to make it safe for passenger travel cost more that its worth. The airplane is then sold to the scrap yard. While the landing gear might be in bad condition the rest of the airplane is full of parts that are in good condition and can be salvaged. Other airplanes have reached the end of their service life and are being used as a source of parts that don't generally ware out like floor panels the toilet seats, the blue water tank, arm rest in chairs stuff like that.
Interesting concept, although poorly executed. Take a look at the similar scene from the classic movie, The Best Years of our Lives. The character climbs aboard a junked WW2 bomber and reenacts his glory days. (Just a bit of constructive criticism).

To the person who doesn't understand: Airplanes like other vehicles get old and worn out. These planes are being used as a source of spare parts for other aircraft. What happens a lot is that parts stop being manufactured as time goes on. The 747 currently being built are to a modified design and many parts were phased out and replaced with newer ones. Other older aircraft are kept flying by taking parts from these planes.
Frequently the airplanes you find being parted out like this have suffered a severe hard landing and the landing gear and the airframe have serious damage and need reconstruction, the airplane was near mid-life and the reconstruction to make it safe for passenger travel cost more that its worth. The airplane is then sold to the scrap yard. While the landing gear might be in bad condition the rest of the airplane is full of parts that are in good condition and can be salvaged. Other airplanes have reached the end of their service life and are being used as a source of parts that don't generally ware out like floor panels the toilet seats, the blue water tank, arm rest in chairs stuff like that.

thank you! a lot more adventures coming soon!
I need these thrust levers for my simulator!! :-DD
10/10 video. Sick planes, sick camera work, sick song.
Interesting concept, although poorly executed. Take a look at the similar scene from the classic movie, The Best Years of our Lives. The character climbs aboard a junked WW2 bomber and reenacts his glory days. (Just a bit of constructive criticism).
The penultimate Northwest livery is one of my favourite airline liveries ever.
Rename your video to 727s AND 747s.....
He did find 2 747s... but he also found a 727

Lufthansa: 747 is better🗿
Very cool video. I spent many years working on the 72 and 74 Classic back in the day, great planes. 🛫 😎
Where is this? I’d love to see this in person!
I believe its in Ocean County NJ 39.917906, -74.307358
For specific It's Laurinburg-Maxton Intl. It's very close to the southern runway. It's still active.
Remember the NWA tagline back in the 90s, “Some People Just Know How to Fly” 😍🤗🤗

Woooow,now,this is my favorite video
Because aboadoned a car is to ordinary
There are also 737s, they look like they are entirely composed of spare parts.

747air
one reason why those airplanes won’t fly: gear oil.
Wow, one of the 74s was even painted in Northwest's post-Republic-merger livery (similar to before the merger, just with the "orient" dropped from the name).
Are those airplanes in lumbermen North Carolina
Abc
SVVVK, it is heartbreaking to see classic planes of yesteryear left abandoned this way. 😢😢
I wish I saw them before they were scrapped. But this video is freakin' cool!
