I first flew with the queen from Frankfurt to New York in 1981. Since then, my favorite aircraft has always been the 747

[@PLANEMANIA747]

Absolutely beautiful capturing ❤

[@bhxairspot6830]

Cheers. Its a beautiful plane ❤️

[@melvyncox3361]

RB211s sound really good!Preferable to the CF6.

[@FS2K4Pilot]

Fans of the C-5 have been saying that for years.

[@bhxairspot6830]

To me the RB211 is lower-pitched with a bit of a "growl", the CF6 is more shrill, so I would agree!

[@FS2K4Pilot]

@@bhxairspot6830Compare the CF6-powered C-5M to the TF39-powered C-5A/B/C. Which sounds cooler?

[@bhxairspot6830]

@@FS2K4Pilot Just from videos the CF6 mostly, but I do like the TF39 on full-power -ie takeoff

[@FS2K4Pilot]

@@bhxairspot6830 You can’t beat the TF39’s Scream Of A Thousand Souls when it spools up, and that titanic fan-drone at full power.

The Queen of the Skies. I still haven't flown in one.

[@bhxairspot6830]

For me still the most beautiful of the big ones. If you come to BHX and wrap yourself up like cargo you've got a decent chance of getting on one here! ;)

They don't have eath movers in the I.K. ? Aka flatten somewhat the runways.

[@bhxairspot6830]

It's been lengthened a number of times. The low angle exaggerates the bumpiness.

[@mohdaffandiariffinmohdazma3283]

i was expecting to see 2 747s head-on..

[@jmWhyMe]

Right? To me that means two planes, opposite ends of the runway, same time!
