    The wing wave made me tear up. Such a majestic aircraft. I believe the 747 REALLY has a heart.

    The Boeing 747 is by far the best aircraft design - truly elegant, flies gracefully, and makes every modern day aircraft look like an after thought. I've been truly blessed and fortunate to experience several flights on your cosy cabin. We love you and always will. ❤️

    I had the privilege to fly on the 747 across the Pacific
    a half dozen times in the 70’s and 80’s, a joy to ride on. For whatever comfort this brings , the Queen is not going away. Although her days as a passenger plane are fading fast, she will be around as a freighter for probably another decade or so. You may not see her, but she will still be around!

This could only mean that I could never experience her anymore. So heartbreaking!💔 I love you #QueenOfTheSkies 😭❤

      I think it will be stored for some time and after this crisis dies down it will be sold to a second tier airline or converted to freighter. It's to valuable to be scraped now. It has at least another 10-15 years of useful service ahead.

    @craigjensen789 4 года назад +10

    I was at my barbers' last year and was conversing with a retired pilot who had flown multiple Boeing models over his career and he told me that the 747-400 was his absolute favorite plane to fly. He explained that it truly was a pilots plane and a wonderful aircraft to have at his control. I asked him about the 777 and he said that as nice as the Triple 7 is, it's so automated that there's a certain disconnect between pilot and plane; that the experience was somewhat numb compared to the Queen.
    A gorgeous bird, she is. I never got to fly on her, but I will always marvel at her lines and beauty.

      It would be so nice if other airports where equipped with a viewing park, but others like Heathrow, nowadays rather discourage aircraft spotters , frequently patrolled by police, and they even question some plane spotters at times when they feel like it! Its a shame really as airports like Amsterdam schipol cater for plane enthusiasts particularly well, but Heathrow does not why i don't know?

    lets face it Girls and Boys, we do get old so fast that we forget to realize that "Jumbos" are old.
    Another "end of an era", thats the price to pay for being old. Good grief I almost lost it when I saw the last Caravelle! Greetings to all from YVR

    One by one, 747 retired. It makes me sad. Boeing-747 is one of the greatest airplanes ever built in aviation history.

      If you or any airline out there is willing to purchase and do the maintenance on a 20 year old 4 engine airplane that probably has difficulty filling all of 400+ seats on many flights they'll gladly sell this 'beauty'!

    Nice video. It’s very sad Indeed. Also sad that I may never ever get a chance to fly on one those since most or all airlines are getting rid of them. And I really don’t have the luxury of flying often. Such a majestic airplane. Very touching to see all those people came out to say goodbye. Had to have been very emotional for the pilots too.
