I worked for Lufthansa Cargo at LAX, we were sent to school in Germany while I was employed there. I flew back to Los Angeles with Captain Juergen Raps at the controls of LH450 to LAX, in 1994. I was honored to have been allowed on the flight deck for arrival at LAX. It is something I will not ever forget.
I can't explain the 'feeling' I got watching this...Congratulations on a 41 year career Mr. Raps. I am sure you contributed much to aircraft safety and innovation.
One of the best videos on RUclips,what a way to commemorate a legendary pilots career,the wing dip,ATC wishing him a happy retirement,the ground shot flying over the Golden Gate Bridge….just a stunning & perfect video
Devin Thomas I don't think I would want him to be captain...sorry he sounds a bit "I'm in control of everything, whatever's happening around me" sort of person to me....🙄🙄
Thank you, Sir for your professionalism and helping us get around the world. Congratulations on your retirement I hope you're still living the great life that you deserve thank you.
Lufthansa is a very professional airline with fantastic staff and pilots and superbly maintained aircraft. This Captain will be hugely missed but he deserves a great retirement and i hope he gets it.
He seemed a bit snooty to the ground guys in my opinion, its most likely simply the German culture difference but he seemed annoyed by them and god complex.
I DEFINITELY AGREE...I JUST RECENTLY FLEW BACK TO GERMANY IN 2017 WITH THIS AIRBUS..EVERYTHING YOU WERE REFERRING TO IS SO TRUE!!I. IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY..THE ONLY WAY TO FLY!!I am REFERRING to the first good comment..YOU AMERICAN guys need to get your act together before judging...take a flight to Hawaii..good LUCK!!🤣😆😝HOPE YOU GET THE RIGHT SEAT...
I was on this flight...I remember that day, no one from passengers knew this was recording or anything...it was like routine...except for the fact that when we landed, the pilot said it was his last flight n while de boarding he greeted all passengers..😍
Congratulations Captain Raps! This video reminds me of my dad's last flight before retiring on the 747 Tokyo to Dallas after 36 years with American Airlines. I hope you enjoy your retirement as much as he did. Sadly he is gone now but never forgotten by a grateful son who he taught how to fly. He also rode a Harley in his retirement.! I salute you captain!
Watched the video a few times and always have a lump in my throat when the "Congratulations on your retirement" comes from the tower. It's fun how you can attach to people just by watching them through a bunch of videos :)
got goosebumps while seeing the plain taking off ......and a lot of cheers to the wonderful captain Juergen Raps on his retirement .....just want to say thank you....be happy
What a great video. Captures one of my favorite moments in flying, when you've escaped the chaos of tracon and you're handed off to center and the aircraft is all trimmed up and you can just relax and enjoy the ride.
Such admiration for Captain Raps, his co-pilot and all the air traffic controllers plus of course the engineers that build these amazing aircraft. Air travel is one of the wonders of human teamwork yet most passengers just take it for granted. Brilliant and Thank You.
well we were able to get to the moon and back with a space ship that was developed quickly(Less thime than it took to develop the A380) and has less computing power than a calculator, so anything is possible.
Congratulations captain Juergen. Thank you for your outstanding service. It's been fun with Pilotseye to watch your professionalism and love for flying. Cheers ! ! !
Wonderful video. Captain is a great guy, many happy years in retirement! Love the camaraderie among the crew members, and also with the ground staff and control tower. This is what modern day flying experience should be like!
Captain looks nice guy. Retiring after a full career at Lufhansa, bringing back home a nice new full A380 is a nice experience for closing the last chapter of his professional life. Happy retirement time.
This is the type of video I love to watch !! Clean images, perfect camera cuts, details and zoom in a simple and clear way !! For more videos like that !!
@@Fiona-hp4mw The more you know, the less you fear. These pilots have been doing this for many years, so they have had the time to develop efficieny and a flow in their processes. That is why they can be so relaxed and professional at the same time. It is called "experience". A robot cannot do that. Sure, it may be able to fly a plane by itself, but in a tricky situation or when decisions are necessary that a robot cannot even calculate for, much less comprehend, we are always glad that experienced pilots are in the cockpits of such planes. And if their mindset is that of a robot, it means that their thinking process is pretty much flawless.

12% of DLH employees getting almost 2/3 of 770 mil € fee per month. Everything of the flight is prepared by others (OPS etc.), entering their work app. 1 hour prior dispatch, calculating the fuel datas - the main fuel has been calculated already - discussing about the weather on route - ok., this is the most difficult decission thy have to do - getting on board - doing a walk around, to make the world believe, they know whats going on at the technical side of an aircraft, but calling for technical assistance what ever occures, producing delays and cancellation whenever they want... and You say, they worth their money... ! Pilots reputation in puplic is still unbelievable. Ask a business pilot, what they have to prepare around a normal flight and what they earn a month, You never will say again ".. they deserve every dollar ..."
I was hurt for over year staying at home. I watched tons of aviation videos, it so happened to be my hobby and passion. I can say that this is by far the best quality stuff I have come across. Thank you for this material ps..Nice to see my home airport SFO.
I so miss sitting in the Captain seat. Had to retire for medical reasons. Congratulations to you Captain for your 41 years of safe flying. I hope you will cherish your video as much as I enjoyed it remembering what I used to do for a living. Your lucky
Goodbye Rap and nobody will miss your overbearing attitude in the cockpit. If you're like this on camera, God help your colleagues when the camera is switched off. I'm just glad that you've not caused any fatalities, assuming that's the case.
I learned to love and respect this profession since my first flight on 05/05/1968 until the last flight on 10/20/2016... Congratulations to Capt Lufthansa LH455 on his last flight, with the perfection of ALWAYS... Aviation is the most fantastic of the Arts...
I have never been on a plane. I've always said I never will. Well this video has made me rethink my entire life. Lol. Like I am so excited. It is incredible. the organization and professionalism I never realized goes into being a pilot. Then the runway workers. The air traffic control operation. I mean everything is going on at the same time. But still so smooth and confident. It's like a beautiful intricate choreographed dance of calm chaos. If one person makes a mistake ..even the baggage loaders.. then it will throw off the entire dance. I'm 41 and have never had the smallest interest or single thought about aviation. So now I have to make sure my children see this so they can know the opportunities and satisfaction of this career. This was great. Congratulations Captain. And I have to ask. ..am I rhe only one that finds a man that control that beast of a machine in a uniform with an accent like this incredibly attractive. Whole life just changed. Lol
youre aware that flying is the safest form of travelling? Airlines have highest safety standards, because if a plane goes down the whole airline goes down aswell most likely. youd rather win millions in lotto than crash on a plane.
I flew in the A380-800 from Houston to Germany last month. This plane is freaking heavy and fast as hell. I could literally fill the full speed thrust from the turbo engines. I was just too amazed on how this beast could fly and manuever with pace. Loved it
That comment "stress is only known by inefficient people" is probably typically German. I lived among them for 2 years while I was stationed there in the U.S. Army. I learned to love them and respect their attitudes. They always do things so much better than necessary. In many ways, they overdue everything to achieve maximum efficiency. We can learn much from them. I certainly did.
Thank you so much for this nice comment. Greets from Germany. Hope you are doing well during these tough Corona times - and well, not only tough because of Corona. Stay safe.
Jawohl! Between stints working in Scotland, I spent nearly 4 years there during the 80s and early 90s, learned the language and have several friends there. Such an astonishing eye-opener for this former believer in American 'Exceptionalism' and a stark contrast with Thatcher's Britain. Treasure those memories dearly. Glad you had that experience. I know several fellow Yanks who never grokked the culture at all when they were stationed there.
Captain Juergen Raps and Captain Robert Juelicher; you made flying 380 more fun all over RUclips. Captain Juergen Raps congratulation on your retirement but you're going to be missed however Captain Robert Juelicher will carry your legacy on flying this magnificent aircraft and that's a big shoe to fill. Both of you are the best pilots ever.
What a fantastic video and a fitting tribute to a great pilot on his retirement after a monumental career with Lufthansa. Love how ground ops and ATC are included in the video and the latter are in on the occasion. What beautiful shots from the ground too of the takeoff and flyover of the Golden Gate Bridge. Obviously this was pre-pandemic. Airlines were hit hard and the recovery of their industry and many bumps in getting back to full passenger ops. No doubt it will be back running smoothly soon. Chapeau to Captain Juergen Raps. I have flown on one of these huge planes to the mid-east. The thing that I liked the most, being back in cattle class was the view from three outside cameras that you could tune into on the entertainment unit. Pilot's eye view, top of the tail and belly. Each was fascinating, much more so than the movies.
Back in the ‘70s, a friend of mine, ex-F4 jockey, applied for an airline job and didn’t pass the psychological exam - they wanted basically a bus driver, not someone who would react as a fighter pilot - so I guess calm would be an apt description. 😂
@@john-or9cf I'm more nervous when my wife is behind the wheel.......... 4 attempts at her test.......she won't drive my car (AMG S63 Mercedes), so she has a little hatchback auto (fiesta)
Unrelated to flying but very German....I attended a wedding in Wuppertal some years back and during the reception an English friend of mine asked a German guest named Fabian whether or not he could speak English. Fabian replied. " My English is not comprehensive but I`ll endeavour to communicate effectively with you" All done with a completely straight face and a twinkle in the eye.
So informative now I know what goes on with the whole operation, as a passenger you sit in your seat and get comfortable and think about the flight ahead meantime the pilots and cabin crew are busy the amount of checks and things that go on in an aircraft of this size is amazing. My first trip was from New Zealand to Dubai onto Gatwick, I loved watching the cameras on the plane and recorded a bird strike coming towards Gatwick, I so love flying and will spend most of the journey even at night looking out the window amazing what you see at night so now I have an even better idea what is going on next time I fly. Thanks for a great video
Merle, so nice you share your feelings of your first flights. You are right, one can observe and see many things, and contrary to Kashif, I hope that you will continue to be interested and curious.
RUclips finally recommended a great video🙂.. the camera angles and quality of video is incredible... I love flying with Lufthansa and I wish the captain a great retirement.. Lufthansa keep the video coming.. 1k likes for the captain and Lufthansa 👍🏽
Congratulations to the Captain!! Wonderful videography. I was absolutely enthralled and I'm a native San Franciscan (Mill Valley). Have crossed the Golden Gate bridge several thousand times and never tired of it.
Beautifully done. The views are gorgeous. And my god that plane is enormous! 500 plus passengers. Its amazing they even get off the ground. Those aircraft carriers though. That really makes you wonder.
I once had the captain final flight experience with LAN in Santiago Chile. He flew in towards the airport, 10 meters off the runway he flew straight along the whole runway without landing, returned to ascent and flapped his wings and flew around the tower again. Captain’s way to due an encore and a bow of distinction.
once I had a FIRST FLIGHT. landing without giving any gas at the last few meters, the touchdown was so hard, you cannot imagine. Anyhow, this will be a teaching for this pilot forever (if was not suspended at once)
Good as a punchline, but totally inappropriate for team organizations and where safety is critical. All individuals may not be the same and all forms of behavior have to be considered and not derided. Many accidents have happened when a person has not expressed a doubt fearing ridicule and negative reception. Stress is a normal part of human emotions which has to be acknowledged and managed.
When he said this, it was meant with a twinkle in the eye, just kidding the colleague (Peter, guess the purser in the cabin) as he was a bit in trouble:)
I always thought it looked so funny from the ground seeing a huge thing like the A380 flying. It looks like it's moving so slow during its climb, and the climb is so much slower than smaller planes like the 737. Always equally exciting seeing one of these though.
I hope captain read my coment : i just wanna say thank you for everything u have any skill in pilots needed ,and now u can rest and happy with your family thanks capt 😭👍
Ahhhh..LH455. I took that flight on the magnificent A380 to Frankfurt in both 2012 and 2015 on the way to Prague. (This video covers Capt. Raps’ retirement flight in May of 2011, so I missed flying with him). Fantastic service from the flight crew and quite comfortable in Business Class. I miss that aircraft!

True. Once the Captain releases the brakes and pushes back, he has a 1billion dollar liability on his shoulders. Tremendous amount of responsibility.
12% of DLH employees getting almost 2/3 of 770 mil € fee per month. Everything of the flight is prepared by others (OPS etc.), entering their work app. 1 hour prior dispatch, calculating the fuel datas - the main fuel has been calculated already - discussing about the weather on route - ok., this is the most difficult decission thy have to do - getting on board - doing a walk around, to make the world believe, they know whats going on at the technical side of an aircraft, but calling for technical assistance what ever occures, producing delays and cancellation whenever they want... and You say, they worth their money... ! Pilots reputation in puplic is still unbelievable.
Ask a business pilot, what they have to prepare around a normal flight and what they earn a month, You never will say again ".. they deserve every dollar ..."
Congratulations Captain Raps. After 41 years, a badass can still fly.
when you turn subtitles on, they change to German
Captain Transit hi
Trained in Phoenix, really an outstanding state to rack up hours...and apparently that is where Juergen now resides.
I was very surprised to learn that Captain Raps learned to fly in Phoenix. Sky Harbor (PHX) has changed a lot since the 1970's.
He lives in Bremen/Germany and is a university professor there
I was hurt for over year staying at home. I watched tons of aviation videos, it so happened to be my hobby and passion. I can say that this is by far the best quality stuff I have come across.
Thank you for this material ps..Nice to see my home airport SFO.
I so miss sitting in the Captain seat. Had to retire for medical reasons. Congratulations to you Captain for your 41 years of safe flying. I hope you will cherish your video as much as I enjoyed it remembering what I used to do for a living. Your lucky
DAVID VINCENT What was the reason for your medical failure?? And what job are u doing now to earn money??
SORRY,THATS TOP SECRET AND NONE OF YOUR DAM BUSINESS
Goodbye Rap and nobody will miss your overbearing attitude in the cockpit. If you're like this on camera, God help your colleagues when the camera is switched off. I'm just glad that you've not caused any fatalities, assuming that's the case.
von lessig Ummmmmm.......
I think I didn't ask you....fella
I could be wrong...but I'm just not buying what David Vincent is selling.
Also.....it's "you're", hommie.
I learned to love and respect this profession since my first flight on 05/05/1968 until the last flight on 10/20/2016... Congratulations to Capt Lufthansa LH455 on his last flight, with the perfection of ALWAYS... Aviation is the most fantastic of the Arts...
Finally! I have been waiting forever for you guys to upload!!!! Please do it more often!
Attila Morvai yeah
That plane has to be one of the most impressive planes ever built ✈
Exactly 👍💪
I have never been on a plane. I've always said I never will. Well this video has made me rethink my entire life. Lol. Like I am so excited. It is incredible. the organization and professionalism I never realized goes into being a pilot. Then the runway workers. The air traffic control operation. I mean everything is going on at the same time. But still so smooth and confident. It's like a beautiful intricate choreographed dance of calm chaos. If one person makes a mistake ..even the baggage loaders.. then it will throw off the entire dance.
I'm 41 and have never had the smallest interest or single thought about aviation. So now I have to make sure my children see this so they can know the opportunities and satisfaction of this career.
This was great.
Congratulations Captain.
And I have to ask. ..am I rhe only one that finds a man that control that beast of a machine in a uniform with an accent like this incredibly attractive.
Whole life just changed. Lol
youre aware that flying is the safest form of travelling? Airlines have highest safety standards, because if a plane goes down the whole airline goes down aswell most likely. youd rather win millions in lotto than crash on a plane.
I flew in the A380-800 from Houston to Germany last month. This plane is freaking heavy and fast as hell. I could literally fill the full speed thrust from the turbo engines. I was just too amazed on how this beast could fly and manuever with pace. Loved it
That comment "stress is only known by inefficient people" is probably typically German. I lived among them for 2 years while I was stationed there in the U.S. Army. I learned to love them and respect their attitudes. They always do things so much better than necessary. In many ways, they overdue everything to achieve maximum efficiency. We can learn much from them. I certainly did.
Thank you so much for this nice comment. Greets from Germany. Hope you are doing well during these tough Corona times - and well, not only tough because of Corona. Stay safe.
Jawohl! Between stints working in Scotland, I spent nearly 4 years there during the 80s and early 90s, learned the language and have several friends there. Such an astonishing eye-opener for this former believer in American 'Exceptionalism' and a stark contrast with Thatcher's Britain. Treasure those memories dearly. Glad you had that experience. I know several fellow Yanks who never grokked the culture at all when they were stationed there.
@@saba6502 Thank you. I'm living in Lima, Peru now with my wife of 9 years.
@@Schweik2 Thank you, sir.
They are the best at everything. They are admirable
Vielen Dank für diese Sagen. Wie immer gut gestaltet.
I don't even know the guy but I wish him a happy retirement... Right in the feels...
"Stress is only known by inefficient people".
Love that guy😁
Die Luftfahrtgeschäft ist einfach schön! Genießen Sie Ihren Ruhestand, Trip Commander! Einfach toll! ️
Congratulations captain for retirement
I don't know him but I was so sad!! He looks so kind!
Yeah. Quite a loss for the airline too.
BRAVO!
You are an expert

Captain Juergen Raps and Captain Robert Juelicher; you made flying 380 more fun all over RUclips. Captain Juergen Raps congratulation on your retirement but you're going to be missed however Captain Robert Juelicher will carry your legacy on flying this magnificent aircraft and that's a big shoe to fill. Both of you are the best pilots ever.
Malou Deng )mn
What a beautiful aircraft. Love the way the wings kind of rise up from the fuselage before dipping down again.
Captain Juergen Raps , Congratulations on your retirement ! Hope you are doing good. Thanks for this wonderful video.
This was awesome to watch. Teamwork makes the dream work! Congrats on your Retirement Sir
Aw...this makes me miss my former home, San Francisco so much. I only Flew Lufthansa once from San Francisco to Frankfurt, GREAT airline.
What a fantastic video and a fitting tribute to a great pilot on his retirement after a monumental career with Lufthansa. Love how ground ops and ATC are included in the video and the latter are in on the occasion. What beautiful shots from the ground too of the takeoff and flyover of the Golden Gate Bridge. Obviously this was pre-pandemic. Airlines were hit hard and the recovery of their industry and many bumps in getting back to full passenger ops. No doubt it will be back running smoothly soon. Chapeau to Captain Juergen Raps. I have flown on one of these huge planes to the mid-east. The thing that I liked the most, being back in cattle class was the view from three outside cameras that you could tune into on the entertainment unit. Pilot's eye view, top of the tail and belly. Each was fascinating, much more so than the movies.
Always impresses me, how something so massive can fly, and the pilots are so calm
Back in the ‘70s, a friend of mine, ex-F4 jockey, applied for an airline job and didn’t pass the psychological exam - they wanted basically a bus driver, not someone who would react as a fighter pilot - so I guess calm would be an apt description. 😂
@@john-or9cf I'm more nervous when my wife is behind the wheel.......... 4 attempts at her test.......she won't drive my car (AMG S63 Mercedes), so she has a little hatchback auto (fiesta)
Congratulations Captain Raps.Great video. I hope to see you back in a Pilot Eye video once in a while.Thank you very much.
My life know flight airport São Paulo Brazil kkk
CP B herzlichen Glückwunsch
Unrelated to flying but very German....I attended a wedding in Wuppertal some years back and during the reception an English friend of mine asked a German guest named Fabian whether or not he could speak English. Fabian replied. " My English is not comprehensive but I`ll endeavour to communicate effectively with you" All done with a completely straight face and a twinkle in the eye.
sheikhyaboooty haha usually people would jokingly say eh no speak ze english, that dude went balls deep
LOL that's a college professor
english ..hehehheheheh
No, that's European English.
keirfree, I believe that I can keep up with you. How is your German?
I speak English fluently.
this was a nice video to watch. congrats on your retirement
So informative now I know what goes on with the whole operation, as a passenger you sit in your seat and get comfortable and think about the flight ahead meantime the pilots and cabin crew are busy the amount of checks and things that go on in an aircraft of this size is amazing. My first trip was from New Zealand to Dubai onto Gatwick, I loved watching the cameras on the plane and recorded a bird strike coming towards Gatwick, I so love flying and will spend most of the journey even at night looking out the window amazing what you see at night so now I have an even better idea what is going on next time I fly. Thanks for a great video
by the time it becomes handy and a routine thing to deal with. it may seem hectic but trust me for them its like wrapping a candy
Merle,
so nice you share your feelings of your first flights.
You are right, one can observe and see many things,
and contrary to Kashif, I hope that you will continue to be interested and curious.
RUclips finally recommended a great video🙂.. the camera angles and quality of video is incredible... I love flying with Lufthansa and I wish the captain a great retirement.. Lufthansa keep the video coming.. 1k likes for the captain and Lufthansa 👍🏽
I’ve flown on this magnificent work of engineering twice and simply loved it. Awesome
Magnificent engineering indeed!
JK29PITBULL The quietest cabins in the air ,no one seems to mention this important point
@@davidstevens8417 So true, we flow in January with Dreamliner 787 and A380 and so we can say that the A380 is so silent inside, more than the 787.
Congratulations to the Captain!! Wonderful videography. I was absolutely enthralled and I'm a native San Franciscan (Mill Valley). Have crossed the Golden Gate bridge several thousand times and never tired of it.
Beautifully done. The views are gorgeous. And my god that plane is enormous! 500 plus passengers. Its amazing they even get off the ground. Those aircraft carriers though. That really makes you wonder.
Maybe I could
How could there be any dislikes? This was amazing! Those professionals made it look so easy! Hope the Captain is enjoying his retirement!,
Incredible professionals at Lufthansa. A joy watching this flight.
what a fantastic film! In every way - wow! And Captain Raps - what an end to an amazing career! I'm so glad I saw this!
I once had the captain final flight experience with LAN in Santiago Chile. He flew in towards the airport, 10 meters off the runway he flew straight along the whole runway without landing, returned to ascent and flapped his wings and flew around the tower again. Captain’s way to due an encore and a bow of distinction.
once I had a FIRST FLIGHT.
landing without giving any gas at the last few meters, the touchdown was so hard, you cannot imagine.
Anyhow, this will be a teaching for this pilot forever (if was not suspended at once)
Imagine your retirement flight being an unplanned go around
A silly, dangerous maneuver. Would never fly that airline.
Amazing. My respect to these pilots.
"Stress is only known by inefficient people" is possibly the most German thing I've ever heard.
Good as a punchline, but totally inappropriate for team organizations and where safety is critical.
All individuals may not be the same and all forms of behavior have to be considered and not derided. Many accidents have happened when a person has not expressed a doubt fearing ridicule and negative reception. Stress is a normal part of human emotions which has to be acknowledged and managed.
When he said this, it was meant with a twinkle in the eye, just kidding the colleague (Peter, guess the purser in the cabin) as he was a bit in trouble:)
Agoraphobication it’s true though! :)
Roger Rarebit you must be a blast at parties.
bit loose translation though, leistung means performance, not effiency.
I flew the A380 a couple of times (business trips). It is the most comfortable and quietest Airplanes at all.
I love it!
OMG this is the best video ever. Thank you
I always thought it looked so funny from the ground seeing a huge thing like the A380 flying. It looks like it's moving so slow during its climb, and the climb is so much slower than smaller planes like the 737. Always equally exciting seeing one of these though.
Truly amazing! I have flown for many years. Thankful for all the pilots, crew, and take-off towers for keeping us safe!
Wanted to show my son a plane taking off and I got this wonderful video. Very impressive.
I hope captain read my coment : i just wanna say thank you for everything u have any skill in pilots needed ,and now u can rest and happy with your family thanks capt 😭👍
Amazing video, congrats to the Pilot on his retirement. I love flying.
Ahhhh..LH455. I took that flight on the magnificent A380 to Frankfurt in both 2012 and 2015 on the way to Prague. (This video covers Capt. Raps’ retirement flight in May of 2011, so I missed flying with him). Fantastic service from the flight crew and quite comfortable in Business Class. I miss that aircraft!
