A film created by the Boeing Company to promote the new 747 aircraft, "Assignment 747" features one of the most basic devices known to man to sell a new product -- sex appeal in the form of gorgeous blonde actress Bernadette Pelletier. Pelletier's "dumb blonde" character asks all the stupid questions and -- in a cringe-worthy gag at the end of the film -- manages to blow her assignment. Features many different airline liveries including Pan Am, TWA, Japan Air Lines, Italia, Lufthansa, Air France, and more.
The Boeing 747 is a wide-body commercial jet airliner and cargo aircraft, often referred to by its original nickname, Jumbo Jet, or Queen of the Skies. Its iconic "hump" upper deck along the forward part of the aircraft make it among the world's most recognizable aircraft, and it was the first wide-body produced. Manufactured by Boeing's Commercial Airplane unit in the United States, the original version of the 747 had two and a half times greater capacity than the Boeing 707, one of the common large commercial aircraft of the 1960s. First flown commercially in 1970, the 747 held the passenger capacity record for 37 years.
The four-engine 747 uses a double deck configuration for part of its length. It is available in passenger, freighter and other versions. Boeing designed the 747's hump-like upper deck to serve as a first class lounge or extra seating, and to allow the aircraft to be easily converted to a cargo carrier by removing seats and installing a front cargo door. Boeing did so because the company expected supersonic airliners (development of which was announced in the early 1960s) to render the 747 and other subsonic airliners obsolete, while the demand for subsonic cargo aircraft would be robust well into the future. The 747 was expected to become obsolete after 400 were sold, but it exceeded critics' expectations with production passing the 1,000 mark in 1993. By January 2015, 1,502 aircraft had been built, with 35 of the 747-8 variants remaining on order.
The 747-400, the most common passenger version in service, has a high-subsonic cruise speed of Mach 0.85-0.855 (up to 570 mph or 920 km/h) with an intercontinental range of 7,260 nautical miles (8,350 mi or 13,450 km). The 747-400 passenger version can accommodate 416 passengers in a typical three-class layout, 524 passengers in a typical two-class layout, or 660 passengers in a high density one-class configuration. The newest version of the aircraft, the 747-8, is in production and received certification in 2011. Deliveries of the 747-8F freighter version to launch customer Cargolux began in October 2011; deliveries of the 747-8I passenger version to Lufthansa began in May 2012. The 747 is to be replaced by the Boeing Y3 (part of the Boeing Yellowstone Project) in the future.

Just adorable. I've worked on corporate and industrial films for 40 years, and this is just a classic. Nice to know the lovely Ms Pelletier is still around and has a copy. Best regards to her and her family.
I flew as a pilot on the 747 for several years. It’s the best!
That’s awesome.
The Queen of the Skies and yes, flying to Hawaii on these back in the 70s and 80s was AMAZING
51 years and still flying, I love this jet and always will
yes, the actress who plays Vicki in this industrial film is my mom.
+Frank Pelletier Very cool. Can you share any more information about her, or anything she might have said about this film?
dude your Mom is hot ;)
This is a very good and interesting promotional film. I am probably at the same age as your mother were, and I do remember the kind of tape recorder that she uses in the film, and the overall impressions of the time. In 1994 I flew around the world on behalf of a big supplier to the airline industry, filming their stations. Great times! Thanks.
Frank,,,You can be proud of your mum,,,this films a great bit of history,,,I went on a Wardair 747 late 70s Heathrow to Calgary,,,,keep well,
She's a beautiful young lady!
I sure enjoyed my time working on the 747 46-48 Sections J&I Final Assembly line, in Everett, back in 1997-2001. What a dream come true. I'll never forget working on this beautiful bird!
When I had served in the USAF, as a 463-L Mechanic, the Wide Body Loaders were super simple to maintain and to assemble.
Thank you for serving.
Oh my God the 747 was a beauty it's the queen it's love it's passion 45'000 feet in the air
Oh for the days when a flight was an adventure with great anticipation; now flying has become n insufferable chore
I've been on the 747 many times. The most stunning plane ever built. Love the video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Join this channel to get access to perks:

My dad and my grandpa both piloted the 747. My grandpa retired in '89 and my dad retired in 2015 so needless to say I have many memories of flying on these beautiful planes over the years. Sad to see them slowly disappearing now.
What airlines?
This was a great movie. I saw in aviation class in 1975. The 747 opened a new era in travel for the masses. It is an iconic airplane.
This is a very well-done film. The plane is gorgeous, and the actress isn't too bad, either.
I liked the guy that took her on the bicycle handlebars on the tarmac. He basically asked her back to his office for an afternoon romp.
OMG those were the Golden era of aviation. I am associated with aviation industry for past 24 years. Seen may ups and downs. But this video just makes you feel nostalgic.
See those crew with poice. Spacious seats beautiful lounges.
That was one beautiful era of aviation.
Thanks for uploading this video.
God bless you
I'll ask her, but she was hired as an actress for the film. The only other aerospace type of acting she did was she was in one of the opening scenes of Star Trek the Motion Picture. She did a lot of commercials in the 1970s, and bit extra parts in movies and tv like Lou Grant, Blue Thunder, Down and out in Beverly Hills, and several Sunoco commercials too.
+Frank Pelletier Amazing she did not have a bigger career!
My wife and I were married in 1972 and flew from Hartford CT to Los Angeles, CA for honeymoon. My first time on a jet..never will I forget that..American Airline, real food too!
Thanks for posting, How ever did you get this. My mom, Bernadette Pelletier, has a copy of it, and used to share it with family and friends when I was very young. As a matter of fact, she tells me that she found out that she was pregnant with me during the filming of this. (Frank Pelletier)
+MrBoobTube For real? She's really your mum?
Frank Pelletier That’s a great story Frank!
@ATCkeepsUsafe Google and OS-INT in today's wired/information age can prove or confirm nearly anything in the everyday civilian world in a very, very quick time frame. And knowing Facebook tricks to employ in searching just it's domain alone can provide a great deal of detail to confirm/disprove elsewhere. He's almost certainly NOT lying and YOU have issues of abandonment/love/hate that are sick and pretty confusing for you, OBVIOUSLY.
[police, firemen, military, plumbers (from sewage diseases) physicians, politicians (who pay all these people), garbage men (again, diseases), surgeons (slightly different daily stuff than a physician while both are medical doctors), pharmacists, delivery drivers, and equipment makers for those professions. As for your ATC SELF AGGRANDIZING SCREEN NAME- plane manufacturers (they try?), airline stewardesses, airline mechanics, and PILOTS--- every single profession keeps us safe as well- some MUCH more so than an ATC, who will eventually become relics themselves as software becomes more robust and self-healing/diagnostically with AI and specifically deep neural networks. ATC keeps us safe. HMM. A big pronouncement from a little man-boy who needs self-affirmation and hopefully (maybe!!!) confirmation from others!? You are an obvious danger, psychologically. Screw you, you little man-boy-child.
@@BigDaddy-yp4mi Always been a jerk? I thought so, now go kiss a water moccasin.
Tell her the new seats are very uncomfortable
Most beautiful commercial airliner ever built. Hope to fly it one more time.
My vote for that title goes to the Vickers VC-10. You can see one in this film at 13:06
Great film clip - takes you back - I still remember seeing Qantas' first 747 alongside a 707 in the hangar at Mascot / Kingsford - Smith Airport as a boy when it was delivered and being astonished by the difference in size
..love that REAL human touch....calling for funds !!....( she's having fun )..." I thought that'd be the reason you called "....a real American.....!!
Ahhhh, the sites, vibes and sounds of the swingin', hip and groovy 70's.
Fantastic film! what a great flying era !
"This is Captain Morgan", haha. )
Great plane. Lots of room. So cool looking. Always my favorite Jetliner.
I was landing in New York from London on a 747 one day c.1980 and just as we touched down the bathroom door flew open and a Punk with a 12" orange Mohawk struggled out into the isle. He 'climbed' toward the back of the plane against the tremendous G-force, grabbing at the seats as the deceleration pulled him toward the front of the plane. He was leaning in at a steep angle. He soon realized that if he leaned in real hard, like 45º, he could let go of his handholds and just balance against the forces pulling at him. In triumph he raised both fists high and made a silent yell, his mouth agape!
The whole plane applauded.
That's how flying used to be.
Very interesting documentary here. Great to see airlines in the old livery and those that no longer fly. All the songs London Bridge, Frer Jacques, songs from various countries.
R.I.P. TWA, Pan Am, Braniff, BOAC.
I was able to translate what the Italian gentleman, and French lady said.
What a great time to enjoy travel. No terror threats, nice fun people, beautiful aircraft, and no GM food.
No terror threats? The period 1969-1972 has the highest number of aeroplanes hijacking ever.
@@lospazio Yeah! I recall Havana, Cuba, was a popular destination back then.
was a great source of comfort when the non-smoking sign went off -- and everyone would light up and relax !!!!
Wow, that sure brings back some memories. My first flight onboard a 747 was with United Airlines on a 747-100 in Friend-Ship livery. Loved the big ol' Pratt & Whitney JT9-D's with the auxillary inlets, the spiral staircase, the enormity of EVERYTHING. Thanks for the video my friend, good stuff!
The Boeing 747, best aircraft ever made.
Shame they have stopped building them.
I loved the L1011 better!
Love this movie, very nice and funny. Great time back in the days.
What a delight. Love the various location shots too...especially the ginza night scenes. Hilarious ending, too 😀😀Love it.
She's on her way up - in a man's world; have sone fun, while you've got it, Vickie!🤣
Pretty Woman~🎶and Pretty Queen of the Sky
Back when this film was made, traveling by air was an adventuresome social experience. Nowadays, it seems little more than being a cattle-car transport conveyance.
"Frankly, I'm a little disappointed. I thought it would be bigger" What no man ever wants to hear.
Sad these old birds are mostly gone from passenger service!
Captain Morgan...wheeeeeee!!
This is beautiful.
3:00 3:08 3:25 5:09 5:12 5:41 6:54 7:53 9:08 9:58 10:35 10:47 11:36 12:09 14:47 19:13 19:54 20:27 23:48 23:51 23:58 24:08 747 looked Incredible with American Asian and European airlines
THE GOOD OLE DAYS
Captain Morgan!
These are 747-100's, this video is probably from the early years of its service! Very nice and rare video also very full of humor. maybe someone knows the exact year of this video..
It's very rare to see the 747s at the airport anymore, but UPS and a few freight companies make stops now and then.
Lufthansa still runs a fleet of 747-400 & -8s for long haul passenger flights!
I bet Vicki had some fun.
in 1st grade i got a book called Jumbo Jets from the library book-mobile. it was written in 1969 and it was all about the 747. i must have checked it out a dozen times.
my wife is from Denmark and i got to fly a 747 ONCE, on the way home (out of maybe 5-6 trips). i flew an MD-11 on the way there on that trip.
its a shame that it was never really put into much service (not that I ever saw) for domestic flights. now the big planes from Boeing still fly mostly international in my experience and a LOT of Airbus stuff on the route to Europe that i go.
i get a lot of time in the 737 (all of its variants) flying domestically with the lower cost airlines that suit me just fine.
Muito legal. Fantastico esse vídeo.
First plane i ever went on was a qantas 747 in 1998 from Manchester to Adelaide via Frankfurt. ❤️
This is awesome.
40 years ago I happened upon the building where the 747s were assembled near Seattle, Washington. To say that building was *HUGE* would be an understatement. From the highway view I had to that building, the open area of that building revealed many 747s parked there, looking toy-sized in comparison to the massive size of that building.
I checked some online sources, which says that building is the biggest in the world by volume. Here are some specs for that Boeing Everett Factory: 13,385,378 m3 (472,370,319 cu ft) and covers 98.7 acres (39.9 ha).
Great Film.
But it is too hard for me, now the queen of the skies is history 😭
Yes, i know that today the 747 is not effficient etc.
Thank god that we have here in germany Lufthansa with its 19 Boeing 747-8
The designers of the 747 hit the target better than expected because everyone thought that supersonic was the way to go. Over 1500 747s compared to 13 Concordes. The pictures are from the second 747 and up. The first model (City of Everett, RA-001) had test equipment.
The Boeing 747 service on the world's airlines, did well in 1970, but in early 1971 and 1972 came the other competitors 747 aircraft, the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar and McDonnell Douglas DC-10.
Eastern Air Lines is the first airline to withdraw its 747, and replaced by L-1011 in 1972, as also with Delta Air Lines also withdrew its 747 and replacement with L-1011 in 1976.
The Boeing 747 is the best aircraft wide capacity in 1970.
And now there is more 747s today, only 2 airline in the United States. continue to operate with 747, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, Delta's 747 he returned to service in 2008 but will be removed from the 2017 or 2018 and will be replaced by the new Airbus A350. And then United Airlines would be the last of the 747 operator in the US, and do not know if airline withdraws or not.
1970 was the best time in the US airline and the world that operated with Boeing 747.
In the beginning ( 1969 ) when the big airlines like Pan Am, BOAC, Air France and others acquired the 747 many smaller airlines like Alitalia, Olympic, Aer Lingus also acquired the 747 for image to compete with the big boys and look good. The smaller airlines soon found out how un economical the 747 was on thinner routes and opted out of the 747 and acquired the Tristar or DC-10 instead. The 747 was and still is not economical for short and medium routes, but only economical for long international routes. Unfortunately with the advent of the newer Boeing and Airbus twin engine wide bodies the L-1011, DC-10, MD-11 went bye bye. The 747 is a good machine, sorry to see it disappear from the skies, just as I now miss the Tristar, DC-10, 707, DC-8, Convair 990A, VC-10, and my favorite Super Constellation.
My family took a vacation to Europe in 1970 and we flew over and back on a TWA 747 - it really was outstanding!!!
5:25 5:32 5:47 5:51 7:02 9:11 9:19 9:48 9:51 10:09 10:17 10:22 10:32 10:37 10:54 11:31 11:47 11:50 12:04 12:19 12:31 12:45 14:25 14:33 14:40 23:55 23:56 24:11 24:25 24:42 24:45 25:21 the cabin cockpit and takeoffs and landing gears looked Great landings and fly by where also great last landing was kinda hard and bouncy though
So sad to see this aircraft go into retirement 😢 it has flown so many people to so many places and literally brought the world 🌎 together and provided excellent service while doing so was fortunate enough to get to fly on both the 200 and 400 series was quite an experience was a really beautiful and remarkable ✈️ airplane.
Cool plane.. legend 👍
13:29 - 14:10 How very appropriate to use Construction Site by Ib Glindemann for that (NYC?) sequence (incidentally, the first 13 seconds of the song being used as the sounder for NY 24-hr news station 1010 WINS)
I assume Pan Am really had one leg up with CAPTAIN MORGAN
That's a riot!
I remember the airlines advertising the upstairs lounge but somehow I don't remember actually being able to go up there during a flight.
I remember, when I was a kid, the 747 seating was 2-4-3 ..does anyone remember that?
Look! None of the passengers boarded in their pajamas!!
Or with their belongings in a black trash bag
Too fab. Wow.
I wanted a Donald Trump "you're fired" at the end. Can you splice it in please?
3:10 That’s been a problem for centuries for a lot of men. 😂😂
HA! Captain Morgan.
What a fun, cute video :)
At 3:10 when she says 'frankly I'm disappointed, I thought it would be bigger', I think I've heard that somewhere before.
She did that guy back in his office for sure
Roger says - Roger says - Roger says lol
....and then Capt. Morgan says to Joey who's perched on his knee: "say Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?"😄
Now I found the list of original 747-100 operators and I can't tell what company under the KLM logo. I noticed the Condor logo is upside down.
SuperTotobato
I saw what I thought was the first flight test at Boeing Paine field, I would have been 5 to six years old? It was a huge deal, it had a small plane following it. I think there were no markings on the 747.
We travel a lot with the "king" VCPFKLA....GRUFKLA....☕
Frank, I got my answer by looking through the comments. So your mom should be about 71 to 74 yrs of age by now, if she is still with us.
I'm impressed how the father employs his daughter for humanitarian purposes, as she's no good as a reporter.
The corleone family wants to buy me out? No you don’t buy me out, I buy you out
how times have changed cramped
14:10, almost Tenerife
Thumbs up if you want CAPTAIN MORGAN to fly your plane each and every flight! 5:27
HELL yeah!!
Wheeeeeeeeee!!
You can always rely upon American industry to produce a promotional film the shows the advantages and drawbacks of their products without any exaggeration or boasting.
see... excited hahaha
Imagine if my boss said that enjoy and fly wherever u wanna go. 😇
15.20 è un apparecchio molto exellent...
The pilots name is Captain Morgan lol !
8:49 Leaving Japan...LOL
No MCAS ?
Today's 2022 there are few 747s still over the skies...Philippine Airlines has 747 from 1979 until 2014 and other ASEAN Airlines have few 747 including Garuda Indonesia,Thai Airways and Malaysia Airlines
I'll be going from Chicago to Frankfurt on a Lufthansa 747 in just a couple of months from now. So excited!
nice vintage dress 2017 incoming
Didn’t know they were worried about air pollution back then.
The late 60s and early 70s was when the smog in Los Angeles reached epic proportions and people realized something had to be done about emissions.
@@PeriscopeFilm Not just Los Angeles.
@3:25 she said she was disappointed because she thought it would be bigger....well, hang on to your hat ma’am because we’re not finished yet (this being circa 1970)....give us about another 40 years and fast forward to about 2010, because your assignment in 2010 will be to do a report on the Boeing 747-800 series of airplane...the four engines will be touting 110,000 pounds of thrust ‘EACH’ with enough firepower to crush the wheel chocks (just in case the ramp personnel forgot to unchock the wheels)
I did enjoy watching this mostly but Mysogeny is live and well in the comments! I'm sure the makers of this video thought 'silly dumb blondes' would be stuck in the galley. Thankfully there are all female flying crews in command of this beauty, although probably mostly freighter versions now.
How come she didn’t interview Capt. Bentley R. Crank?
Tongue-in-cheek at 3:10.
NO AIR POLLUTION ... LMMFAO
Cyril Trendov They did not say any" they said 50% less than the older ones!!
Yeah right, we're now going back to smaller jets now.
Nope. They literally said "no air pollution" referring to the black smoke you'd see on older jets. The 50% figure is about noise pollution.
Smokeless engines was the big thing in 1970.
Before the 747, jet airliners looked like they were burning coal!
I think she does
bro her father was just trying to get rid of her
🥰🥰🥰🥰✈✈✈
👏👏👏👏👏👏
...that's COOL !! ..- EVERYBODY likes her sketches !!@@
At 0233, " and no air pollution!" GOT it, Alexandria ocasio Cortez?😉👻☠💀☻
they thought cigarette smoking was not dangerous to one's health back then as well....
This time so wrong xD.
What do they mean the seats have a 12 channel stereo?
It means you can hear what the five people around you are listening to.
12 different programs, or stations, like a radio to select from.
Where do I find a hot chick like your Mum who's into aeroplanes?! Your Dad was a lucky man.
Lol
