I always make an effort to try and thank the pilots if I can whenever I get off the plane at the end of a safe flight. So many people get on and off planes every day and never seem to care or think about the fact their lives are literally in the hands of these awesome pilots. These machines are miracles of modern science. Thank you for keeping everyone safe on these flights!
@@jurnagin well first off it is much harder than you think it is, you have to have quick reaction times and also not panic in situations, and two the engineering required for planes is absolutely Ridiculous, they have millions of code to account for ever scenario and button on this plane
I worked for the Boeing company as an assembly person and machinist for 13 years and have built thousands of parts and assemblies for the 747. The 747 is a beast. Albeit graceful in is presence and in flight still a beast. It earned the name "Queen of the skies" and for good reason. You can't mistake it's silhouette in flight. There can be only one...
I built Pressure Domes, Horizontals , verticals and aft body for 35 years..... just retired having built the last line unit, 1574 in July 2021.....started on line unit 564 in April of 1986 ......built some -300's, 2 Presidential Planes, 2 "SP's", 8 "SR's", all of the -400's and all of the -800's ........ the "highlite" of my career was shaking Chief Engineer Joe Sutter's hand at Everett Boeing facility ......I was like a girl that met Elvis !!!!!..... LOL....... I miss it terribly ...... :-(
Frequent flyer here. Its crazy because it feels like you’re going so much faster when you are a passenger experiencing a standard 747 landing. You look out the window and hope to God that the brakes and hydraulics bring the plane to a stop before it reaches the end of the runway, every time. This video makes it look as if they only reached a speed of 20 knots on the landing/runway. So impressive!!!
Hello Captain Boeing. I've been a long haul trucker for 40 years . Have always been mesmerized with piloting and especially 747. Such a piece of art and tech combined. Love your vids and the mastery you show is exquisite. Thanks and safe travels always to you
Very smooth landing. What a view they have. I remember flying into Las Vegas one April and one of the pilots coming on the PA and saying we were 90 miles out and they had the active in sight. Perfect clear weather and eye sight.
This is the gentle giant. Much easier to get good landings than the MD-11 I used to fly. However, airspeed control is critical, especially below 100 feet to prevent hard landings. Been flying 747-400 since 1999. Atlas Air Captain/checkairman
Nice landing. As a Texan, I can tell you a little bit of history of what is now Bush Intercontinental. Back in the day when the airport was proposed, it was going to be named 'Jetero'. Don't ask me who came up with that moniker. Post construction, it was Houston Intercontinental. In the 60's I had occasion to visit the newly opened airport. There was nothing but cow pasture surrounding it. Fast forward a few years and on another airport visit, it was surrounded by shopping centers, businesses, and homes. The folks began to complain of jet noise, so noise abatement was instituted. Strange that folks move in around a busy airport and then complain of the jet noise. lol.
We have the same type of idiots here in vegas always wanting them 2 change were or when the plane's land also around the airports in socal i don't understand.it eather especially when the airports were there first.🤔
The name "Jet Era" was applied to one of the access roads from a freeway into the airport. Unfortunately there was a typo on the signage , renaming the road jetero.
I live in Fall Creek literally 5 minutes from the airport. I enjoy watching all the United jets fly over my house. The noise has never been an issue for me.
God how annoying would that be to fly with a captain thats too nervous to take his hands off the controls and follows along with you the entire time. That would get old real quick
I used to work at KIAH as a tower and approach controller many years ago , before 8L even existed and miss that view from my many jumpseat rides. Your FO, nailed it like a rat pissing on a cotton ball : barely heard the mains trucks on. Awesome as per the usual.
Captain I've noticed you always seem to fly with very fine competent First Officers who do their job well. I've also noticed how you always seem to be monitoring everything and everyone very closely and I like that about you. You are always staying on top of thing's. I've seen other videos and film where the Captain wasn't as attentive as you are to what was happening and this is when something can go wrong and sometimes unfortunately does and with all your vast experience you still take nothing for granted and you still see the vital importance of checklists as well. These things make you an outstanding Captain in my opinion. My compliments to you Captain on a job always well done.
I’m scared to death of flying but I love watching these videos … the skill of the pilots and the incredible engineering that goes into a flying object of this size.
Love this, lost count of how many times I’ve flown into Houston at both airports. Sometimes it’s tricky because we have unusual weather here in Southeast Texas. Love my pilots!!!!
I'm about to start school and I've been doing nothing but watching these videos. You did a wonderful job. I know what a big responsibility it is and I take that very serious. So many lives depend on you. Thanks for the video
Janice Brennan remember that it’s 100 times more likely to die in a car crash than in a plane. Air travel is the safest travel method that exists and gets safer and safer each year. Everyone can get a little anxious though
Oh man Captain Boeing, I am taking a trip soon, I wish you were the pilot. You are cautious and thorough. I respect what you do, it takes balls of steel to be a pilot
Nice video. Nice landing. Just love the 747--best commercial plane ever made. When I saw the title and started to watch the video, I thought for sure they would land on runway 26 or 27, but they landed on a shorter runway that is typically reserved for heavier traffic times. It's the 5th and northernmost runway at IAH. Taxiing off the runway put them closer to the cargo terminals. Great job by the crew.
These big birds are gorgeous. Just think about it for a moment. A heavy machine of hundreds of tonnes fly through the air and carries thousands of people from one continent to another. Mind blowing...
Hats Off To EveryBody,To Get Those Good Baby's,In the Air And Land,Is Truly A Blessing, For All,From All Who Have A Part, In Making That Beautiful, Piece,Of Aircraft, To make it Fly,Is Just BEAUTIFUL.Hats Off To Everyone.
I am always so mesmerized at how Pilots and Flight attendants have no fears at all. Like its nothing to them. Just watching this gave me the terrors lol
Thank u for posting this. Ive been watching extremely interesting mayday air disasters full episodes on you tube about horrific tragic sad plane crashes and the extensive investigations, interviews.
I used to land Houston with the B747 of KLM and Lufthansa, it was great every time. Only when I got out of the airplane and the heat and humidity hit me in the face ... it was time to get back on the airplane and return to Europe.
Great video, but may I suggest, the title in future don't just put "Houston Airport", maybe put with (IAH) or (KIAH) since Houston has more than one airports
How easy it is 2sit inside a plane&enjoy travelling in it&da facilities offered but difficult to fly it in da sky!OMG how do des pilots remember so many things2operate in da cockpit?Wonderful job by dem,Great!!!Suman
Every approaching and landing shows the compromise the skills and more over the responsibility on the shoulders of the captain a Big plane landing safe a lot of time.
Cool video. I used to work right next to Detroit Metropolitan Airport. I would spend my breaks watching takeoffs and landings. Those pilots make it look easy. I witnessed only one aborted landing in the ten years I worked there. A cargo plane was about 75' from touching down when the pilots decided to go around and try again.
Welcome to the greatest state 😜 I worked at an FBO at Houston Hobby (HOU) Never see big guys like this as it’s mainly occupied by Southwest 737’s. Love this

You know what you’re a positive guy well done 💪🏽
RL- I do the same. I have so much respect for pilots. If I can't thank them personally, i ask the flight attendant to give them the message.
💯💯💯
Yes definitely...
Thank you for this idea. I will do the same.
the amount of engineering it requires to defy gravity is mind blowing
Well said
Exactly
It's not really that complicated! It's like flying a kite

The Queen of the Skies is Boeing's aeronautical masterpiece ! A peerless, storied aircraft.
it will be in the sky longer than the A380
What about the Boeing 777? I thought that was considered the largest Boeing jet

the camera frames cause this issue
I experienced the plane looking so much faster than it actually was as I just flew on a 747
who's watching this after just crashing a 747 in MS Flight Simulator 2020? I'm really enjoying seeing what I should have done.
me
Hahah I so am ... cant seem to land into New York in the challenges 😂
Lol it's so difficult
That's why I am here, lol - 747 seems to be an unrealistic slug and erratic just cruising at altitude.
Lol

thanks for everything you do! truckers like yourself make the world go round
Love this cockpit view. Really appreciate seeing this!!!! Do more please Captain!!!!!
Even after many hundred thousand miles as a passenger I am still in awe of the pilots and aircraft that have got me safely to my destination.
747 is by far the best aircraft,such a beautiful airplane.
Agree
What about the antanov
Clusterr a great aircraft also.
nein A380 is the best for ever
Dressed as a shadow Year 1969 747 rocks the aviation world,tell me please when A380 was released?...
love the "pitch" of those engines winding on final approach....
Very smooth landing. What a view they have. I remember flying into Las Vegas one April and one of the pilots coming on the PA and saying we were 90 miles out and they had the active in sight. Perfect clear weather and eye sight.
I commend you on such a perfect landing Capt! Was gorgeous to watch!
Thank you my friend
@@CaptainBoeing I agree.
The FO did the landing.

These guys really know how to land a plane smoothly! They did a very good job achieving minimum of 5 with such a very large aircraft!

Also loved the view of the other plane that was on approach . Thanks
Absolutely fabulous approach and gorgeous landing...well done my friend..Enjoy the weekend...good to see you..
Omari Joseph, yup.
Just got accepted into my aviation program, and is now watching these videos to see what my future holds.
Hey I'm an aspiring pilot , how is it going?
God how annoying would that be to fly with a captain thats too nervous to take his hands off the controls and follows along with you the entire time. That would get old real quick

Your FO, nailed it like a rat pissing on a cotton ball : barely heard the mains trucks on. Awesome as per the usual.
It’s pretty amazing what human beings are capable of when you really think about flying an airplane and all that goes into building one.

Perfectly functioning team work. Capt on top of everything like you say - see how he checks on the speed brake lever after FO sets.
@WendyKS93 - I believe the pilot not flying acting as the pilot monitoring is the industry standard.
nothing cooler than the engine symphony
That was so soft. I mean I rarely hear 5 always 10 and then boom but this is amazing
Wow what a landing! Bless you for all you do!
Thank you
God bless our pilots, I almost shit my pants watching this.
It's all practice.. years and years..
Great job Pilots!♥️A lovely landing to watch!!♥️
I’m scared to death of flying but I love watching these videos … the skill of the pilots and the incredible engineering that goes into a flying object of this size.
You know it’s smooth when you here the airplane go 5
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He’s coming back, and He loves you.❤️❤️❤️

DAS IST WAHNSINN! 👍👍👍👏👏👏❤❤ TOTAL INTERESSANT 🤗🤗 DANKE FÜR DAS
TOLLE VIDEO! 🖒 🖒 ❤ ❤ UND FÜR DEN
FREIFLUG 😘😘
WOW
@5:08 passengers start getting up and getting luggage out of the overhead compartments. Seriously, I have so much respect and appreciation for pilots.
I'm about to start school and I've been doing nothing but watching these videos. You did a wonderful job. I know what a big responsibility it is and I take that very serious. So many lives depend on you. Thanks for the video
Thanks, Goodluck in school 😊
Seeing it from this angle changes everything, glad I get to sleep safely in the back idk how y'all do it mannnn
Hello ! Greetings from Australia ♥️
first time I've had a chance to view a landing at my hometown airport from the cockpit....pretty cool.
nice!!! ..love watching your marvelous skills. .you make your job seem so easy, as if any one of us could do what you do....great landing
4:03 I think the guys collected gold stars on the way down.. great job
Thanks 😊
Ahh! The legendary 747! Thank you!
Beautiful landing, exciting to watch it from the cockpit. 👍
Yep
These guys are legends
I'm actually a bit of a nervous flyer, but I love watching these videos :-)
It’s good to be nervous. But 99.99999 percent of the time you will get there safe. Have a Bloody Mary before you fly.
I’m a pilot I do it all the time..... I’m obviously kidding.
Same here, terrified of flying , but love watching these video's!

My dream job is to become a pilot
Go for it !
Same
I too
Same
Forget it
They brought that bus with wings right in there smooth and safe good job pilots and the rest of the crew
Hats Off To EveryBody,To Get Those Good Baby's,In the Air And Land,Is Truly A Blessing, For All,From All Who Have A Part, In Making That Beautiful, Piece,Of Aircraft, To make it Fly,Is Just BEAUTIFUL.Hats Off To Everyone.
Who else loves those large displays?
and now they have retired this beautiful bird...I don't think there will ever be a plane built to match the elegance and beauty of the Boeing 747! ✈
So much agree with you 💯
A very nice landing by the First Officer . . . . 😎👍😎
If they are coming in from China, they get two weeks of R&R.
I am always so mesmerized at how Pilots and Flight attendants have no fears at all. Like its nothing to them. Just watching this gave me the terrors lol
I consider airplane pilots as heros
wao you are the best, what a team! well done and thanks for these images from your unique point of view (more or less!)
Good landing! Well flown! Wonderful Airplane!
Best Job in the world
Agree
I loved watching this. Great landing
Amazing how little runway you use!
Runways are 3x as long as they "need" to be for normal landings of specific aircraft types.
It seems to me like there was quite a bit of a crosswind, truly amazing video!
That was AWESOME!! Felt I was in the cockpit😊
Great job, I'm a retired firefighter, you pilots are the great hero's.,
Very nice @Captain Boeing. Thank you!
The greatest aeroplane ever! Retired on the 747 and still mis it.
The Man, The Myth, The Legend... El Capitán, Boeing... Another Kool 😎👍 Video
Any pilot deserves to feel good after a nice landing like this. Aircraft didn't even thump when the tires contacted the ground. Nice job
Thank u for posting this. Ive been watching extremely interesting mayday air disasters full episodes on you tube about horrific tragic sad plane crashes and the extensive investigations, interviews.
My only life regret. Not being able to pilot an aeroplane. Beautiful landing .
Well, he sure made that look easy. Nice landing and very good video.
SUPER COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IAH is a pretty busy airport...I recognize some of the air space you flew over.....I've flown into IAH many times!!!
I used to land Houston with the B747 of KLM and Lufthansa, it was great every time.
Only when I got out of the airplane and the heat and humidity hit me in the face ... it was time to get back on the airplane and return to Europe.
The one nice thing about Houston ... it's comfortable in the winter.
Wow!! A lot of nerves and knowledge go into landing a massive piece of machinery in a smooth way!! Kudos to you ❤
Beautiful landing
Been on that final approach so many times..
I almost know basically the sequence in the cockpit
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼my favorite bit!!! Ultimate respect for you two...all of those souls on board! Love these videos 🙏🏼♥️🇺🇲
Thanks for watching captain and shift commander LABonte air mobility command patriot wing commander
Great video, but may I suggest, the title in future don't just put "Houston Airport", maybe put with (IAH) or (KIAH) since Houston has more than one airports
👍
OMG... the sound.
Just hearing this put me right on a plane.
Great vid
Fantastic video ❤️✈️
Awesome video and very good camera angle on landing! Great job Captain!
Your Majesty -------------- Epic landing in the Queen ... All hail the queen of the Skies. *Takes a bow*
knowing nothing about planes the sound at about 4:00 had me like 😱😱😱😱
10....5!!!!! Wowww...mustv a super smooth landing...👍
as always, another awesome vid Capt. Boeing, i am an avid watcher.
wow it is perfect landing i enjoying watching to it thank you for sharing this video more video im follow you

These pilots are amazing .to be in control of these planes .great job guys .👍😊❤️
Mission acomplished ! Nice landing, congratulations !
By an.
Wow! What a smooth landing I never did that on my Flight Simulator 😂
I like the brief terrain alarm sounding just before they entered the "recognized airport".
Very cool that is a lot of work with a thousand control buttons, thats a lot of schooling for that job lol
That was perfect.
I’ve never been on a plane and seeing this just amazed me in no other way
I love air plane and all those people that working on airplane....they're good looking and so cute with uniform on...lol
Lucky...🥺♥️ To be pilot is my aim...❣️
