    So sad - we will not see them again over a bright blue sky or in the dead of a dark midnight sky again. However, these videos remind us of a great era in aviation!

      I see the Queen of the Skies
      is still the plane of choice for Air Force 1
      It very sad to see what's happening to the 747 as the new models are like comparing b/W TV to colour.
      Enjoyed this British Airways flight

    @qasimmir7117 9 лет назад +1

    I've noticed that BA 747s take longer to accelerate and use more runway to takeoff. I think it's because BA 747s use Rolls Royce RB211 engines which are a lot less powerful than the Pratt and Whitney engines that other 747s are equipped with.

    • @raykrislianggi
      @raykrislianggi 8 лет назад +2

      +Qasim Mir The RB211 on the 747-400 has nearly identical thrust rating with the P&W and GE options which is around 58,000 lbs of static thrust. They're not less powerful at all.

      @g-mansofly1016 7 лет назад

      I been on a United 777-200ER and it has the P&W which stands for Pratt & Whitney engines and those engines are super loud. But then again it has 90,000 pounds of thrust each, I don't how much these engines have. It depends how powerful they are of course!

    • @redblade43
