The Best DAMN 747 Video on YouTube

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Thanks to previous Utube postings (PAN AM and TWA) by other lovers of aviation and a few newer clips from my personal collection! WARNING!! Don't FF ..you might miss some really good stuff! Hope you all enjoy my tribute to some very very super special people..aviation industry professionals and 747 pilots/crews in particular!
My dad was a TWA Captain and retired on the 747 in 1980. 38 1/2 years with TWA. Captain on DC-3 thru 747 very proud. Great video.
wow! Your dad must have had a fantastic career
Wow, he might have been on Connies or Starliners at some point then?
I like it when you said in your comment “very proud” he had every right to be proud...he was apart of some amazing “firsts” in the world of commercial aviation...the jet age and beyond also long before the jet age his airline was in its infancy...
My dad also was a captain for TWA for 40 years flying the B-707, B-747 and L-1011
My Grandfather was a TWA Captain on the 747 LAX-based and also retired in 1980. Flew the Polar Route on the retirement flight.
Flew the 742 and 744. Best airplane that made my career as an airline Capt.
From the 747-100 series to the current 747-800, the 747 will always be the Queen of the sky! No other commercial jet in a Million years will ever come close to the beauty, grace and elegance of the 747. She shows here real beauty on takeoff,landing and in flight. I'm in love.
Robert, I thought it was the 747-800 as well but recently learned its just 747-8.
RIP Joe Sutter, Father of the 747.
Right on man!
Adam Hamada you never built a bad bird. we the crews and passengers from yesteryear thank you.
@@anngranger3007 Your comment has much more impact and relevance today,as there are only a few quality planes being made......Eg. 747-8 and 767-300ERF
The Father of the 747 also worked on the 747-8 as an advisor and it retains the safety and comfort features of the legacy 747s; the 747-8 has not been butchered by modern,cost saving and less safe "new" technology, unlike most "new" planes today........
Thank you Sincerely
I will never forget get flying on the 747-100 awesome experience
This is still one of my favorite videos on RUclips! Never gets old for me :)
Thanks..glad to hear it!
Coming back to this video as the last one was delivered last week...
It's like an office building with wings. I love the 70's style music! Classic!
This really is the Best Damn 747 video on RUclips. Well done, great vid.
As a former Pan Am employee for 12 years, PAA will never be forgotten. Thank you for uploading!
What did you do with the airline
Reservations Dept., Sales Rep in Sao Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
I still wear my PAA NA region pin currently while working at JFK. With pride
I was a flight attendant for Pan Am in 1987 until they closed down in December 4 1991
I think some of the glamour from the 747 comes from the fact it was built during the heydays of air travel and so its historical context helped to boost its image. Of course, the aesthetics of the 747 also plays a role in giving it its reputation.
In case any have forgotten it was Pan Am that was responsible for the 747 being made. The pres of Pan Am wanted a plane larger than the 707 and went to Boeing and asked for it to be built and placed the initial order to put the 747 into production. Also the #1- 747, The City Of Everett is sitting at the Museum of Flight Boeing field Seattle Wash. It's in a Museum lot a block down Marginal way from the museum and can bee seen from the street. Ironic as it sits along side a British Airways Concord, the plane the 747 put in the museums.
Flew them as a flight attendant for TWA and then Northwest. I was based out of NYC w/NWA, which was a small base for them. 2 intl. flights. Even tho I was junior, I could hold the JFK-AMS 6 to 8x a month. They weren't worth enough time for the senior mamas; they did JFK-NRT. We were such a junior crew...and every flight was a PARTY. I was usually able to hold my fave position, door 5. It was the best cuz on the long taxi out of JFK in the evenings you could sit and read the paper, eat your crew meal all in peace. Best part? When we landed in AMS at 0600, you didn't have to say good by to 403 pax. The plane was indeed Queen Of the Skies.
For all the people that don't like this video most probably can't afford to fly.
Jimi J Probably not true, I haven't flown much and am not wealthy, but I still love airliners.
I gotta agree, this is the best 747 video on RUclips
The saddest day in aviation history is tomorrow....the delivery of the last 747 to Atlas Air. Brings back so many pleasant memories of travels on the 747. It truly brought the world closer together and made air travel affordable to many people in the world. There will NEVER be an airplane quite like the 747.
Me too .. the 70s music and 747 videos really hit it off!! Well done!👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
TWA’s Royal Ambassador Service…The Hallmark of Excellence! The best in-flight service in the business delivered by the best Flight Attendants in the business.
Even the music is perfect. Those wonderful 1970s.
The Ritchie Family!
What a magnificent video. It almost brings a tear to my eye to see those majestic TWA and Pan Am 747s. I'm too young to have been around while Pan Am was around, and I was around when it happened, but was too young to remember anything about TWA before it merged with American. Though, I do have a longing to have been able to experience such great airlines. Thank you very much for this video, it's videos like this that are pretty much the closest I'll be able to get to experience such history.
You are very welcome.
Ya
747 is beautiful, the A 380 looks like someone strapped engines on a hippo.
Coming back now to this video to say, all these airlines that retired their 747s for the now untrustable 787 dream liners should feel like dookie about it. A pretty SAFE behemoth replaced by a short tiny squeezed flying coffin.
Great music for a wonderful aircraft, and she is still "Queen of the Sky's ".
I love this airplane classic, 747 4ever!!!
Love the video and the music. The Disco songs goes perfect with planes especially with the 747s.
the video, the classic jumbos, the 70s music! all perfect!!! love it!!
MAU04NC The music! SALSOUL!!
I didn't know Continental flew 747's. Nice video.
Yes, continental actually flew the 747s, but did u also know those same 747s are now in United.
Everyone flew the Queen back then.
Queen of the skies and best long hauler to fly.My first 747 flight was on TWA from ORD to SFO sitting up stairs.
I remember the first time I boarded a United Airlines 747 in Honolulu with that rainbow livery to leave for college, I couldnt believe I was actually gonna fly on one.....I remember boarding and looking at that huge nose cone in awe.😊
Yeah man, my very first 747 flight was on United from Chicago to San Francisco. I know what you means.
Love the late 70's disco music!! ahhhhhhhh!
starboard76, Congratulations on the video, it´s simply the bestI´ve seen. The music is great!
Pan Am has greater horror stories from it's final years...but nonetheless, many of us who flew the two giants remember them fondly because of the impact they made. And I must say ..the coldest and best beer I ever had was on a TWA flight from London to Philadelphia...it hasn't been matched yet.
Very nice video! 747's are awesome aircraft and as a kid I got to fly roundtrip LAX to LHR on a Pan AM 747SP, will never forget that. On a side note, love the "CHiPs" sound track ;-)
@crackaddict444 in the column on your right..in the 'When the 747 Ruled the World' video, in 3 different flavors!
The ORIGINAL 747 days. Was this before the crappy airlines came around and ruined everything?
Pxthfinder yes
I loved TWA's and Pan Am's last livery! They seemed to look best on the carriers 747s.
The Ritchie family from the album 'Brazil', fabulous.
Some great retro liveries here.
A musica ficou perfeita para esse vídeo, trás um glamour todo especial para a época.
5:18 Seconds the old 747 and old JFK...😓
1981...Singapore Airlines 747 from SFO to HNL to SIN. As beautiful as my destinations were this plane made me sorry the flights had to end. Nothing compares.
Many smaller carriers such as Olympic, Nigerian, and others technically did not need such a large aircraft but acquired them as a status symbol, because everybody had them. They soon realized the economic burden and quickly got rid of them.
The 747 certainly is an amazing aircraft!!
This was when flying was glamorous, when the stewardesses were glamorous, the planes were glamorous, and flying was the classy way to go. I'm glad I had a chance to fly during the '70s. I haven't flown since 1987. I'm not missing much.
15 years later and its still one of the best damn 747 videos on RUclips. Also at 7:49 the Greece flag with the Olympic Airways 747 in the background looks so patriotic.
I can't stop watching this compilation!!! Very nice aircraft and nice music!!!!
oh by the way thanks for include VARIG one of the biggest company in the world in fact it was.
This aircraft will always remain the queen of the skies for both crew and passengers, a mortal sin that it has been taken off the market and all in the context of commercialism and backward climate nonsense!
Queen of the skies.
Best passenger plane Ever made..
This vid also takes the title for the worst music Ever...
Thank you for being part of this video Varig - Varig was one of the great pride of Brazil destroyed by the Lula government.
I love the 747 for me the best plane ever built. I flew a lot in it. Now the ugly A380 will not get the charm of 747
This was my husband's "dream job" within aviation...to be part of the flight crew on a 747. After many years as a flight engineer on the C-130, 727, and A-300 he finally got to be a PFE on the Boeing 747. Loved it!!!
The music and the compilation of vids are AWESOME!

What no Delta?! I detect a corporate bias in this film!
i watch this not only for the airplanes but also the song i dont know why but it makes me feel like i am in an airport relaxing in a lounge with a cookie...
Great video, I loved it. Good old memories, I enjoyed watching Pan Am 747s at my hometown, Rio de Janeiro Galeao Intl Airport, very nice take off from runway 09 (nowadays runway 10) at GIG. Excellent video, a must see for all aviation lovers and 747 lovers.
Awesome Video there will never be a better aircraft then the Boeing 747 the A340 can't even compare! I really loved seeing the old Pan Am clippers and TWA! Thanks!
Reminds me of the music Walt Zyrko plays on Runway DFW ❤❤
9:49 bro disappears into the fog
me watching this in 2021 after most airlines have retired the 747: slowly sobs
I've flown countless 777 and 747. The 747 takes it hands down. I give it the edge on its raw power.. those 4 engines are so overpowered that they make it almost like a magic carpet...effortless even on that monster of a jet. And you feel that when you fly one. Its a fantastic 'liner. Forget nostalgia... the 747 is still flying. It's simply the all around platinum standard for airliners
Ah those TWA 747-100s. Flew on them several times from STL to HNL and back. Miss the planes, miss TWA, but do NOT miss transferring at STL airport. Who designed that layout?! Dumbest freakin' airport.
Agreed about STL ..also did 747-100 ride from STL to LGW. But JFK is where i caught most of my flights.
@@Starboard76 why u inactive?
@@Thiscooldude123 I’m almost ready to release some new vids. I’ve been busy with another interest of mine and with that nearly completed I can get back to aviation. I’ve been laying tracks for like 5 new projects over the past year. Hopefully uploads will start in or before 6June this year. Thanks for checking in!
In my opinion the best video on RUclips ever. I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing with us. Five stars, favorited and subscribed!
Sorry, unfortunetly no. I don't have any clip like that. It's been a long time since SAS flew any passenger versions of 747. I think they retired them in 1989. However I did find a youtube clip of a SAS cargo plane ( 747 at Oslo ). However it was totally white with no SAS markings, so nothing to add to your collection :-)
Happy hunting.
Great video but the music reminds me the TV serie THE LOVE BOAT!
Have you any idea how many of those accidents are attributed to 'pilot error' vs aircraft design flaws'?
Plus everything the 1969 built 747 endured ... made the A380 possible, The engineering feat the A380 is...owes it all to the 747 as does the A340, A330 and A300. And 747 owes a great debt to the venerable 707.
I agree with you one hundred percent!!!
The A380 does not compare to the Great Style of Boeing's Masterpiece 747 design! Sure the A380 can carry more passengers with it's double decker and it maybe fancy on the inside , but from the outside it looks like a flying marshmallow.
Loved ALL those empty seats in first class on Pan AM. No wonder they went out of business! Great Vid thanks!
awesome video, awesome airplane, and two awesome airlines---pan am and twa!
It's so sad that those two airlines aren't around anymore :(
This video is very bittersweet now that the very last 747 has been delivered.
Magical indeed. There will never be anything like these NW and PA 747:s
Nice video. Especially the AA and Pan AM's. Would have been nice to have seen a clip of an SAS 747 though... Maybe for your next installment ?
I love this video. The 747 is my favorite airliner. All 747 models are great, specially the 747SP and the -8.
Ritchie Family! Yesssss! Salsoul Orchestra!!!!
The 747's are an endangered species. We shall make sure it does not disappear like DC-10's.
Some of these clips have to be pretty rare. Great compilation, and we can add the 748 soon.
Love the music
By the Ricthe family
Peanut vendor
Love The Disco Music!!! :-)
...Porno musik...hahahahahahah!very good!
+Langdon, Alger Richie Family ;)
That was the era when 747 was everywhere!
747 is the queen forever
Thanks for that...well my friend you're gonna love the Boeing 707 video I'll be releasing in the next few weeks.
Love the seventies music
dude, this is aviation geek PORN! =) 10 out of 5!! Thanks for putting it up, its on my faves too!!
In the Pan am there were comparing a 747 with a 707
I've probably flown at the very least 100 times on many different airliners to many different places, but never a 747. It's on my bucket list. Any 747 except the 747SP. You can have that one. One of the ugliest planes that ever flew lol.
ugliest planes? all 747's are beautiful planes!!
Awesome footage. Would like to have seen Eastern and National Airlines.....
finally someone with good taste of airplanes and music!! great vid!!!! =D
The iconic queen of the sky's will be in our harts
Some fantastic footage there mate.... Keep up the good work :) 5 stars!
Perfect music to go along with this vid.
My first trans atlantic flight was a pam am 747 flight and I still love the airline 😍
Like others here I'll be watching this again and again. And when I'm busy doing other stuff I'll play it anyway to dig on that groovy music, baby.
Thanks for showing the kind appreciation!
every time on a plane when it takes off my stomach goes to my chest
Absolutely amazing! The 747 will forever be the "Queen of the Skies" What an elegant looking aircraft!
this was back in the day when airplane food was actually good, Good video!
Very cool to see a BOAC 747.
she is the one and only the queen of the sky's for ever
Watching this in 2020 and it is sad to see these old airlines that have gone away. And now most of the 747s are no longer flying passengers.
So so true and I must admit, aviation just doesn't carry the thrill of that era.
Great video, always will love the 747, an airplane with style.
I was very moved to see one of our old Olympic 747's in the background of the Greek flag.One of these planes rests at Hellinikon airport in Athens, see it everyday as i drive to work and i'm never tired of stopping and admiring this stunning aircraft.
Also liked to see Pan am and TWA 747's, used to see them every day in Athens, brings back memories!
The disco music really fits with the video. Great job!
