Such a special plane. The fact that it was produced for 50 years is astonishing. The fact that it will likely be flying cargo for at least another 40 years is also amazing. Congrats on getting to spend so much time flying an icon. Here’s to the next chapter 🍻
Thank you Captain Lou for your incredible content and amazing dedication to aviation! You have THE BEST contrail videos I've ever seen. My gratitude to you for sharing the skies with those of us who dream of being in your seat. All best in your future endeavors🙏 😊🤍
Thanks so much, your comment made my day! I’ll still be flying for awhile, decided to move to the corporate world of aviation. Flying Gulfstreams… G650. More videos in the works. Thanks again, Lou B
And its still one of the prettiest planes ever made. Right up there with the Spitfire, F104, Mustang, F4U, and the greatest - the SR-71. Congratulations on a great career flying this beauty.
Man...😢. I know you're going to keep on flying -- flying the private jets, but it is sad to know (at least to me) that your 747 era has come to an end. It was nice that you thanked the builders and Boeing in this. The most beautiful and awesome non-military plane the world will ever know.
Yeah, it was a really hard decision to leave. Ultimately time off and money won out. Plus the opportunity to fly to different destinations. I will really miss the 747. More videos from the Queen to follow though.

Thanks so much. I’ll still be flying, just not the 747. Private jets. Hopefully to exotic destinations in search of new adventures. Thanks for the support!

Awesome life and journey, you grew up with the plane Lou.Thank you for sharing your life's excitments with us, both as a pilot and nature lover.What a life man.🎉🤠🙏
you made me interested into avation and u prolly took away some of my fear of flying, knowing theres guys like you in the cockpit that got everything under control. thank you for all the insights from the cockpit, showing the captains point of view, thanks a lot for that lou
Had the pleasure of flying on a KLM 747-400, that view of 747 flying ahead if it were a Painting it would be considered a Masterpiece Thanks for your safe flying 747s & great clips you put up, God Speed❤✈️💙☘️🇮🇪🇺🇲
I’m a shuttle driver for pilots you all are so nice love the conversations back to the hotel it’s time for your feet to be on the ground and share your stories hats off to you for your great service
Flying 747’s! Such a great career! Love airplanes, travel, experiences. Congrats! I’m writing from the Okavango Delta. Got here on a A380. Will fly back to LA via A350, then 777. 👍🏼🛫
Why the Last? I Love this Plane so Much.. It's a Pure Beauty. The 80S and 90S were the Best Time ever. When the 747 400 came out in 1989 .. This was the Best of all.. ❤
I've been watching your videos for like a yr now or so and text a few times in that time a driver up here in North Dakota in the oil fields. I've enjoyed both the planes and specially the snakes videos done awesome job Lou on both. I wish you and your family the best in your next chapter of life what a legacy 747
Love that aircraft, Queen of the Skies! You are so lucky! Thank goodness for Lufthansa, all the cargo carriers, Singapore, etc who keep the Lady alive and flying! And congrats to you!
Thanks friend. Proud of you. I only made it to a 172. And you know we depend on you big guys. That's how we get most of our stuff above circle in Alaska.
Thank you very much Lou. I enjoyed your videos. I think you had a dream job for a pilot. I retired from flying 4 years ago after many years. I,m looking forward to continue watching your videos. Thanks and all the best
What a great career being able to fly the greatest plane ever. 30 years safe and sound, fitting to have the INXS music in there. All the Qantas 747's have left the sky now.
getting harder to fly on them commercially (last was in 2022 from FRA to BOS) but the "queen of the skies" is such an awesome aircraft to be self loading cargo on and Boeing did awesome creating them.
I will miss your Chicago herping videos. I always found it amazing how this pond in the middle of what looks like an industrial park would have garter and water snakes.
Capt. Lou thanks for all that you’ve done. Also thank for clearing up the Chem trail debate my wife and I have been having for almost 5 years or so! 😜🤣✌🏽
Sorry I wasn't around for what must have been an ultra bittersweet moment in your life & career, my friend. I've been MASHing thru an insane amount of surgeries since the close of '23 and lost Mom + my oldest, best friend during the same time. Shit & shoved in it! 😢 But you, the beautiful family + your ultra fine videos are pure, joyous escapism to me and provide a zen like peace. A lower deck fulla thanks!

What a career! And what a beautiful bird the 747 is. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!
I always wanted to fly on one but they stopped making them in 2023 and now there is only 300 and most of them are cargo
@@Vr-and-Planeguy2010 "only"
@@rx3dn It is "only" because compared to the number of other planes, the 747 is pretty much
endangered
