    Nice video, Ladybird was my first Virgin 747 flight between Manchester and JFK and Tinker Belle was my last, but I did manage to buy the lifejacket from underneath the seat on my last flight (64a) from eCube, it's a shame these glamorous ladies were retired way before there time, thanks for sharing! 👍

    Great share, so sad to see the end of these beautiful planes. I was lucky to film one briefly flying near me on its final approach to the cotswold airport the last month. I’d love to watch one from an airport though, that would be awesome. 👍🏻👍🏻

  • @goldenkoi23

    I don’t think the front gear did bounce. Did you see the take off from Manchester? As it took off it did a wing wave so I think when it lands it’s like a little ‘bow’. Just before the gear goes to touch he picks the nose back up then I’m pretty sure he holds for a few seconds on purpose. I have no idea for sure, just a hunch going by the deliberate wing wave on take off.

    • @BradleyPennyAviation
      @BradleyPennyAviation  4 года назад +1

      It was a tiny bounce! I was watching the BIG JET TV stream! It seams at though that happened! The wing wave was really cool! Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video!
