  • Recorded May 2011:
    For quite some time, I have wanted to fly on the A340-600, the A380, and visit the African continent. In May I was lucky enough to accomplish all three goals in one trip. This flight marks the beginning of a very long journey from North Carolina to Johannesburg, South Africa via Germany. I flew Charlotte-Munich-Frankfurt-Johannesburg-Frankfurt-Munich-Charlotte and experienced the best and friendliest service of my entire life. All the flights and the beauty of South Africa far exceeded my expectations. Enjoy and stay tuned for the videos of the flights back home !

    That is a beautiful airplane, and the smoothest landing I've ever seen!

    Classic shots when the airbus is pulling up and you see the US airways in the background taking off! Love sight seeing ... love to fly too!

    i love the 340 - i went on it first time in 2007 from paris to dubai - via air france, and its a cool plane, love the wing flaps, similar to the 747-400 - - yes, airplanes are totally awesome - i feel there are two groups of people: "either you arent excited by any type of plane and dont give a damn" or you "love them, and film/video tape, take off, landings, and all else inbetween' - and i am proud to say, that the 'ladder' is my group!

    Excellent video, I flew on a A340-600 from Lufthansa to San Francisco and it was really good. Great service,friendly flight attendants.
    I returned on the A380 which was really cool!

    Ah, flight 429 out of D12. I fuel that ship quite a few times a week...she is a thirsty girl. I always wanted to see what her interior looked like and her destination. Thanks for the share! Cheers!

    Wonderful video, SDMullis! Your seat choice was excellent; I typically try to get that seat when I fly to Germany via Lufthansa. I like the perspective of watching the back of the wing against the sky and ground. Personally, I think Lufthansa is a fantastic airline, and much better than when I had to fly United to Frankfurt. Though I have never flown highly reputable airlines like Dubai or Singapore Airlines, I think Lufthansa totally rocks!! Thanks.

    it is the housing of the flaps mechanism(is like a screw linked to a electric motor)and that makes the flaps go up and down.

    nice landing, a340-600 is the most beautiful aircraft built yet, nice video I can't wait to fly it.
    I flew 777 and I felt very uncomfortable even 737-900 is better.

    Charlotte is a major US Airways hub, and both airlines are on Star Alliance, so one channels passengers to the other's flights there.

    Strangely I've seen that flight from the ground. Within 20 minutes of taking off, that air route goes just East of PIttsboro,NC and then you can see the Shearon-Hariis Nuke plant out the RH side of the plane.

    @Pandacapricorn The plane was actually totally full. The shots that show empty seats were filmed before everyone had boarded. I do not remember seeing any empty seats when I got up and walked around during the flight.

    in all airbus aircraft one of those housings in (one per wing) also contains de fuel dump discharger,it is easy to see, the end of the discharger is black.

  • @SDMullis
    @SDMullis  13 лет назад

    @mkbitchin26 Wow you were close. I had 39A. I chose the seat very carefully so I could get some good video without the wing in the way and without being too far in the back. Have fun in Greece. I would love to go there. Enjoy the A340-600 and let me know about the experience.

    @andoriuperaisu I travel for work some but mostly these are leisure trips and I must admit I spend a lot of discretionary income in the process. It is something I enjoy so I just do it. I feel very fortunate.

    @mkbitchin26 Lucky you. I just returned from a trip to Greece by way of KLM and Delta. Lufthansa's service is far better then either of them. Enjoy Greece though, its a cool place

  • @JF15100

    @SDMullis Do you think the A340-600 was a very good and stable aircraft? Any dangerous turbulence during flight? Was it smooth??

    As a career ramp guy, I was not comfortable with that cone out there by the #1 engine when they taxied into CLT. No way in hell would I have allowed that if I'd been running that flight. After engine shutdown, yes, but not in front of a running engine.

    i assume you travelled with people you knew... cause, if 'not', then im sure you had an entire plane load 'look at u' as if u were some 'nutcase' 'film a map' and or 'filming take off and all else'...... plus, i assume hearing that ';fossil fuel' conversation in background rt b4 take off, i assume was you, of which would have to be 'staring at the window with camera viewer' as yr back is turned to the person you are talking with.... now THAT would be odd!
