Guys, im not sure if ZS-SAZ was the final 747-400. If you can find info, feel free to tell me :)
S̶c̶a̸r̸i̷n̵g̵C̶rab 879 рг
It must be zs-sav i think
1987-1990is SAL
Yes it was the only planes I saw in 2007 2008 2009 and 2010 were zs-saz and zs-sau
Yes you are correct, ZS-SAZ was South African’s last 747-400, leaving the fleet in September 2011.
I had flew the ZS ZAN Lebombo on the Johannesburg - New York City in the early 1990s. It had everything you could ask for from a trans-atlantic cruiser. Luxury leather seats and both personal screens and a giant one. Those days, airlines used to have well detailed manuals about the aircraft; engine type, power, etc.
I still remember those days. Every specification of the aircraft in SAA's fleet was in the Flying Springbok.
4:31 wow cool paint job
A once proud and efficient airline. SAA now sadly going bankrupt.
It was also considered to be one of the best airlines in the world. Boeing even got some of their customer needs for the aircraft from SAA,
It was in the days of the orange tails. And, to think that orange tails returned to the South African skies, for a while unfortunately, with Mango Airways.
@@GoodVideos4 And to think that I was berated on RUclips by an Aussie plane spotter from Perth because I liked the orange springbok tails.. He said that the springbok tail was racist. Unbelievable !!
@@tonynz9954 I remember you mentioning that before. It is yes. And, Australia had even worse racism than South Africa. In South Africa they were pushed aside. In Australia they had ruthless treatment.
In the late 1980's the outside world was very hostile towards South Africa. Yet, there were countries, like elsewhere in Africa, that had far worse atrocities. But, that didn't mean much, or anything, to the outside world. And, the two countries that picked on South Africa the most, were the two countries that had the most to hide, namely the USA and Australia.
And, the kangaroo tail would not be regarded as racist.
@@GoodVideos4 Very well said. Hypocrisy is rife especially in the USA and Australia. Let's not forget that the British used to go Abbo hunting for sport in colonial times. They had not imported foxes back then.
@@tonynz9954 Late to the conversation, but I'm pretty sure they meant the livery was offensive due to the connotations of it. While the springbok livery is utterly gorgeous, the era of South Africa it's associated with is the issue, not the livery's design at all. It would be a potential similar negative reaction if Korean Air brought back the livery they had prior to their current one as a retro livery due to the association to the shootdown indicidents of KAL flight 902 and 007.
Hey Unity was the music I used in my most recent vid! Great vid and #Savethe747's
+Mark's Aviation Atleast UPS is saving them :D
@@ScaringCrab he became wunderbar yesterday.
Such a beautiful livery😍simple yet colorful
the 747's livery from 1971-1980 is a good livery, want to see it on a 747-8
I also thought that it was a good livery. When it changed in 1981, they should have just changed the tail part, on the 747s.
A good livery anyway, with the orange tails.
Orange tails also returned to the South African skies, for a while unfortunately, with Mango Airways.
I flew on the last 747 flight from Or Tambo to Luanda. The plane was on the way to Europe somewhere on its last flight. It was manned with many older crew some which worked on it from the 70's.
2:10 This aircraft crashed near the Mauritius Island due to a on-board cargo fire
Thanks for my request
Good luck, well done
PAA 707 is being made right now :)
Like the song
Fun fact SAA replaced the 747 with the a340 instead of the a380
Love the song
R.I.P Helderberg 747-200 ): cause fire is unknown. The aircraft is B747-200B Combi Aircraft between Passenger and Cargo.
R.I.P :(
it was a 747-300M
It was a 747-200 .The 747-300 was not there at that time.
We all know the Helderberg was carrying unstable space rocket fuel - for SA satellite programme.
@@johnlamb3101 That's incorrect...
I liked the vid, and Unity is a good song.
SAA a320 unity
I saw SAA 295 in 1986 in the video witch later crashed
in 1987.
I've seen their A340-600s fly across Africa to Europe and back... I kind of wish I could fly one of those!
Buat video south afrlcan a340
Can you do viasa 747 fleet history
It's South African Airlines my national airline
Hello would you pls make the fleet history of KLM 747, as well as the JAL's 747 fleet history pls

SAA really hit the jackpot with their new livery. It is beautiful and individual.

Hi :)
Hi :)
Hi :)
What is the name of the first music
THE 747-400 Was still young man
Muhammad Fadhiil Not really, the average fleet age is roughly 18-22 years, thus the 744 was retired on time, and just aren’t fuel efficient.
And from 1994 everything went sideways
i wish all airlines order's the 747-8
Some airlines are broke
And, from what I know, 747s aren't being made anymore.
It crashed from SA295, with cargo fire back space with B742-239
B747-239M
Then Again ICAO And Boeing Customer Codes Don’t Mix Well
From The Future
2:17
South African Airways flight 295 💥
wrong aircraft; 2:12 THIS is the actual involved 747.
Thanks for telling me
*ME MES* :3
PAL 737-300 and PAL 737-400 pls.. :-)
PAL doesn't have a 734
AdamAir737400 IT was retire in 2014
This airline is from South Africa
You don't say...
NO IT'S FROM GHANA
Like.....duh
No shit Shurelock.
More memes songs👍👍👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
Dtoh Vlogs Yup
#swiss001
why are you saying Swiss001 he's not here
SAA retired their 747's but why do they didn't retire their a340's until now?
They think the a340 was more efficent but it was actually not
Too many 747 history because the Boeing 747 is the most successful aircraft aviation in history
No it isn't, it's the Boeing 737. They're currently assembling their 10,000th example.
+Ibirdball woah!
Yep.
747 is now falling, infact quad-jets are now falling. Only twin-jets are now successful like the 737(-100 to MAX 10)
Especially nowadays - just look at the A380/747-8 orders - nothing compared to how the 747-400 was. Even in the 2000s they were turning their noses up at the A340-500/-600s, which only sold 130 examples I believe.
Ah that times there was still apartheid
You don't say...
Of course that always has to be brought into it. The video isn't even about that.
Call me stupid, I never heard of this airline.
David 747-400 Nah :)
Ok diputs (Reverse)
