Flying $200 Million Boeing 747-SP Private Jet ALONE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- I flew on a private Boeing 747-SP VIP Jet from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to Marana, AZ, USA. I was the only passenger traveling inside this $200 million flying palace private 747 jet.
Check out the luxurious interior of this ex head of state airplane in the video. Sit inside the cockpit and watch how the pilots fly the B747 classic. It was just an exhilarating and unbelievable experience flying on a B747-SP VIP plane in 2019.
For complete story of my flight, visit my blog: samchui.com/20...
For more information of this airplane, visit www.csdsaircraf...
I was on the first flight of the 747SP as a test engineer on July 4th, 1975 when I was in Boeing flight test (instrumentation). Our flight did not have quite the VIP treatment the king's aircraft had - in fact the interior didn't have walls or (real) seats. We had water barrels that were used to transfer the weight around the aircraft for control of the center of gravity, maybe ten or more instrumentation stations, six foot by 20 inch wide racks measuring everything the plane did during that first flight. I'm 79 now and was 32 during that flight and your video brought it all back, thanks Sam.

@@lodiacesbro shut up
Nice story Michael!!! Awesome
@@lodiaces On yourself
@@lodiaces what does somebody get for faking a story like this, also he had some good details in it i dont think somebody gonna research that and fake it up
That guys mustache deserves its own documentary
NO. No beards either.
I thought he was Dr. Eggman
500th like 😎
Mdrr for sure
i think he has the worlds longest mustache
The woman at the start awkwardly saying "I'm so happy to see it leaving today"

Lol right as I got done watching that scene I look at the comments and this was the first one I saw lmfao

“A year ago this plane landed in our airport and hasn’t left since... I’m so happy to see it leaving today” Best line from monotone lady
This is my local airport as well but i never got the chance to see it 😥😥😥
I wish to enjoy this type of traveling . You r so lucky.

Why nobody commenting about that mustache man..
Cuz we don't care
IKR worst mustache ever
A mustached man? .... Where?
I was about to say the same time
Damn. Im growing beard but thay guy is a legend
This mustache has a bigger wingspan than the plane
Lol
Vodka Gorbatschow U made ma day ahaha LoL
Vodka Gorbatschow the 1st thing in my mind was Giant Lobster but i prefer your mustache wingspan
Lol
Lol
Not sure what is more impressive. The plane or that guy’s mustache.
It was the sandwich
@Lbolting005
Liar!
That was you
And I have the proof
usmcrob8585, the plane is straight out of a rich Arab's house in 1974, and that guy's mustache is straight out of a saloon in 1904
The plane
the mustache... definitely the mustache...
My god there's luxury and then about 10000x levels up there's this! The 3 pilots ooze experience and class you can tell they are absolute masters in their field. The 747 is and always will be the queen of the sky, i was so lucky to have flown on 1 route before it was a lifetime dream come true. Incredible video.
I was a Pan Am flight Attendant back in 1980 and always flew that same aircraft from JFK- TOKYO, JFK-RIO and SFO- HONG KONG . The upper deck galley in your video brought back many memories . It may interest you to know that Pan Am flight attendants gave input in the design of the original galleys . Nothing changed in the upper deck galley! 41 years later , the 747SP at Pan Am remains the most beautiful, luxurious aircraft flying the skies.
Who is the owner of this private jet?

@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel he said I know right right after IKR. I dunno I felt like that that was unessasary
@@cuppajoe2 for some of us newbies, we're still learning.
my father first started flying the dc9 in the late 60s to mid 70s for southern and then switched over to northwest airlines.He also flew the 747-200s for northwest airlines / orient starting in the late 70s 80s 90s and 00s until his retirement in 08, he absolutely loved these beasts with all analog functions. I started my career in his footsteps with American in 1999 started flying 757s until 2015 and now flying 787 Dreamliners. My sister also flies for southwest airlines. We are a family of old to new school pilots

The 747 has such an iconic silhouette! To me, all new airplanes look alike…
Got to fly a dozen times in the 747 when I was a kid, late 80s. Paris to New Delhi! Back then, kids could go in the cockpit to see the pilots.

Sam: Greatest flight this YEAR
I had the great privilege of been part of the maintenance crew looking after this great flying beast in the late 90's early 00's. I am really happy to see her still flying. Was not sure what happened to her affter FLS Airospace at Stanstead Airport UK went bust in 2004! Great video, has brought back many memories of long hours crawling through her tight areas keeping her airworthy. Keep up the good work of showing these giants of the sky Sam!!!
Surely!
Who did this plane belong to and who owns it now?
@@afthabgulshan5351 just do a FAA N number search.
@@DC8Combi what's an ffa

This year? I can’t even imagine a better than flight than this..
probably the best mustache ive seen all year

Sam that was amazing, my most favourite video from you this year so far 😀 the 747sp is my favourite aircraft, I’ll never forget standing at the viewing area at the Perth international airport when I was 7 years old watching a South African airways 747sp arrive and depart - it was mesmerising! I couldn’t take my eyes of her, you’re so lucky to have flown her. Such a special aircraft, you’ve made my day
I would of had way more respect for you if you said “one of the only good videos on your channel”

i whispered the same sentence in my head literally, believe it or not..
So nostalgic watching the old pro's preparing and then flying the aircraft. Sam you have a way of capturing the emotion of the event. Nuff Respect 👍
VP-BAT truly the most beautiful aircraft EVER made. I hope (s)he can fly for years to come. Nothing better than a 747-SP.
Loving the direction this channel is going Sam! You took Us on a Cargo flight, a 737-200 in the North and now this. You’re evolving this channel into something much more than just airline reviews!
My favorite comment, "This airplane arrived a year ago and has stayed here ever since...I'm so glad its leaving today."
I took that to mean "because this is an awesome plane and it doesn't deserve to just sit here and rot". =3
Why did it seem like she didn't know how to speak English? Was the teleprompter too slow?
Love how the pilots are not even dressed as pilots, idk why that appealed to me
Cus they don’t care, they’re flying private, in a maintenance flight, idk.
they’re ferry pilots
at that point in their career, they're prolly even retired, like, some graduated mo-fos right there
I loved the truck driver look !
most pilots aren't dressed up as pilots. its because you want to be comfortable for long flights.
*Your channel is absolutely incredible - I just love how you show things that the normal lay-person would never see!! God bless and thank you for all of the incredible content!!!!!*
The parties you could have on that thing.....it's so cool to see a bunch of guys wearing t-shirts and jeans flying a 747
Ryan Myhand Jeffrey Epstein thought the same, I guess.
It’s more common than you think. On the freighters for long flights, pilots wear whatever they want.
Ryan Myhand never in my life ever thought about having a party on an airplane😂
I would have a Jazz party on it...
UA-cam: check out this very special airplane
Everybody: mUsTaChE
The one thing money can't buy: Good taste!
The thing is the decor is 90s/00s, which is when this was acquired by the Qataris. At the time, it probably would have been quite nice, but I don't think it's that bad. The colour scheme could do with being updated, but everything is great.
Luxurious, but grotesque!
Jeff Slade yes all these gold color stuff!! Just ugly !
@@bob5B Absolutely Gaudy
Haha get your own jet, then talk shit bruh
Nothing beats the 747........... it's the best flying machine ever.....
I love your video's / the work you do...... GOD Bless
👍👍👍👍👍👍🛫
This is probably the best mustache I've ever seen this 2019!
Search Rajasthani mustache.
This 2019? Have u seen any other 2019s😒
mrwatcherofmovies well that's only because you have not seen mine
Who’s scrolling down here because of the Moustache?
Bingo
you make me feel guilty
Just Oli I am..I knew someone’s gonna throw a comment about that dude’s moustache. ;)

Just Oli what the hell is that growing on his top lip!?
That moustache guy is literally egg head from sonic

Its eggman
I started life as an Airframe and Power plant mechanic, 2 years working on 747 -100s Run taxi qualualified great memories Loved that airplane the maintenance manuals were truly helpful unlkie most a reference.
Master chef need yiu
Unfortunately, once seen, that interior can never be unseen.
this makes me sad. why so bad? :(
This is so true. I see some comments hate it … I like it because I see it more as a historical inerior with many stories we will never hear about.
Everyone: luxurious and mustache
Me: But where is the ultra fast wifi?
Pilot's drees like casual morning walk dress 😂😂😂
No joke when they Guy gassed the plane for takeoff from the backseat I would have jumped right out the window 😂🤣😥🤣
I'd rather have Sully in pajamas than a 20 year old with shiny shoes
Amazing Sam, I help build the 747 but never imagine it looks like this. Thanks for giving us the glimpse into the world of the wealthy, kings and queens of the world. You are the man!
Me: "The decor is so tasteless, so garish and dated."
Also me: "I want it."
I know,, when I had mine designed, I went with with softer earth tones.
Time for an interior upgrade during the C check!
Well taste is subjective so there’s that.
I want 200 million. i dont even know what id use this plane for. If I had free use of it, but couldn't sell it, im not sure id ever use it.
theantiantichrist i’d take my whole family on vacations.
This man´s mustache is almost the size of the airplane wingspan that he works on.
nice one.
Your not going to get likes. Someone already made that comment.
@@bharkbh This is my comment.
Stolen from Vodka gorbatschow
@@andreic1755 No it's stolen from Vodka
I was driving south on the 1-10 just outside Marana when this beast was landing. I recognize the red and white scheme. I thought it was an old airline getting retired. Good to know she's an SP and still got life left in her!
I worked for Pan Am and probably traveled on this plane many times. My favorite 747. Loved your video.
Are we just not going to mention this man's facial ornament.
facial ornament LOL
Vince Lam lol 😂
Facial ornament? Lmao well said hahaha

That plane is so regal. Thanks for the video.

Love the SP! I’ll never forget my last flight on the SP on the Qantas SYD-PPT-LAX route in July 1996. So cool disembarking via stairs in Tahiti to have an up close look at this beautiful machine.
Thanks for sharing, Sam!

A friend was involved with the interiors. All materials used in the aircraft's interior are natural, no synthetic fabrics were used. Unless it's been removed, an interesting feature not seen was a complete surgery in the cargo level. The original owner had a heart issue and traveled with a surgical staff and cardiologist, just in case.
That's awesome

My brother: A year ago my cousin came to our home,i can't wait to see him leave again.
brayan kamau official I couldn't wait for her to get off of the screen😨
I would fire the lady or throw her out of her home for this comment!
My dad Richard Sias was an interior designer for this plane. I remember him showing me his drawings when I was a kid. It was a hard plane interior to do because the customer wanted more gold and weight was an ongoing issue.
Whata shame
Ten seconds in
See’s moustache

I turned 60 years old , After this wonderful clip, I started to hate myself because I couldn't even own a bicycle yet 😂😂😂
I’m still fascinated and love to watch aircraft take off from the flight deck.
BOY ITS A GREAT 747SP SAM, I LOVE THE WHOLE AIRPLANE FROM NOSE TO TAIL INCLUDING THE UPPER DECK.
You see the wingspan of the......
Mustache 😉
That dude could lift off
Give him some RC plane jets and it’ll fly
😂😂😂😂
Eeeeew
The only sad part about watching this is remembering how some few insanely rich can spend for absolutely no other reason other than because they can, while others can't afford food and roof over their heads..
Otherwise from an aviation perspective this a masterpiece Sam can brag about for years to come! Absolute beauty
You do realize when they're spending someone else is earning!

Great to see "good ol' boy" pilots! I can only imagine the experience they have between them!

he looks like Escanor lmao
That moustache is just ridiculous...
@@depressed_piglet4912 hmm nope, not even close
Escanor does have a french moustache, this one doesn't look like any country, maybe mexican in the 1800's
Hard to see sooo many 747s lying dead in the dessert 🥺.
This SP has gotta be one super lucky 747 jurassic to still kiss the sky!
THIS 747SP has so much significant history behind it. The fact that it was owned and FLOWN By PAN AM, united from 1986 on, and now a private jet looking for a buyer. This plane should be in a museum honestly.
I can't focus while I'm seeing that mustache guy
0:11 That dude's moustache looks like an aircraft wings 😂😂😂😂
me too
It’s called the wing tash lol
Hahahahahah right
"Honey, I'll be home a little late tonight. Something just came up and I gotta stop by Canada and Arizona on the way home."
The greatest little 747 that ever got off the deck.... fantastic ... thanks Sam
"Traffic, Traffic"
"Yep, I don't see anything...."
😂😂😂😂
My imagination be like :
Plane : traffic, traffic (on short final)
Me : maybe the traffic is an aircraft that is waiting for takeoff
They made sure there was enough seats for the owner´s wives.
HA
This made me loath so much because it’s just so true
Hahahahaha
:Dd
Lol
The whole plane was amazing. I've never been in an airplane before. I hope to take a trip an fly somewheres with my husband one of these days. Love your videos!!!
Everything is cool and all but IMO what really sets this plane above the rest (no pun intended) is the full size toilet with a BIDET. And it's in GOLD. Now that's luxury! So awesome! 😄

After you pay 200m for the plane I dont think you would give a fuck
The plural of Aircraft is Aircraft not Aircrafts
TCAS: "Traffic, Traffic"
Pilots: .....
I mean they were looking for visual of the traffic, TCAS hadn't instructed them to change altitude yet.
Fat Crack Rock I mean, it's a joke
It was just a traffic advisory you’ve got to look for the traffic. It was not a resolution advisory which would instruct you to make an evasive maneuver.
TCAS:"Traffic, Traffic"
Pilots: 👀👀👀
🤦🏻♂️😂 was waiting for a TCAS comment.
This plane is spacious, love the bedroom. It's so wow.
That “luxury” interior is straight outta the early 90’s lol
The 90s weren't that flamboyant, this is straight outta Liberace's estate sale.
I'd guess the interior was done in 2004-2006
I guess the arabs quite like the wood and gold finish, a bit classy.
It was kept at Bournemouth Airport UK for years in a huge hanger and regularly flew in and out. I live parallel to the runway, loved seeing it but had no idea it was a flying piece of bad taste 🤣
And that guy's mustache is straight out of the 1890s
Saw the interior and immediately thought "This belongs to a Saudi Prince or Donald Trump"
VP-BAT, now N7477S, is an ex-Qatar Amiri Flight 747SP.
Donald trump needs a DC3, The Saudi prince needs definitely an A380 lol♥️😁🥶
Yea like the air force 1
I believe this one belongs to a casino magnate
Trump's largest jet is a B757
Love the nostalgic aura of the classic 747. Really deserves the title "Queen of the skies". Thanks Sam.
GREAT VIDEO - VERY INTERESTING - AND GREAT TO SEE THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT RESTORED WORKING AS NEW ! WELL DONE - EVERY BLESSING !
As having this based at My Local Airport of Bournemouth we got to see this regulary depart and arrive. So good to see the inside.
Is this the one from Bournemouth? I thought it had different livery. I used to work in Parley so went past Hurn a lot. It's not there anymore though no?
Yes it is was based inside the ex BASCO / Cobham hangar. The tail logo has been removed and registration was changed to American
I was a Purser for American Airlines for over 20 years. AA had two of these and they retired them the year I started. The upper deck had a bar and lounge originally with a Rhodes electric grand piano in the middle of it. I'd love to be able to do that one more time. Those were the days!
