For those of you who are confused, the airline (Qantas) retired their last 747, and this was its last takeoff and landing before decommission. Edit: happy I helped u guys 😉

😢😢😢Know how that feels !! I felt utter sadness when all the DC3s were retired from a local airline called INTRA AIRWAYS JERSEY C.I. Company closed down 😢 Such happy days .👍🍒😍🥰
No, I think the saddest moment in aviation for the Boeing 747 (since we keep making videos about them) is the discontinuation of all Boeing 747s all together.
Quantas is such a good carrier, I do recall a 747-400 that had lost all navigational instrumentation going from Adelaide to Los Angeles. Instead of turning around in mid-flight because the captain determined there were no serious safety issues. The Quantas captain radioed ahead to a British Airlines 747-400 flying the same route. The British Airlines captain slowed down to allow the Quanta’s 747 to catch up. The Quantas 747 tucked up to about 300 yards off the British Airlines wing and they flew in formation to Los Angeles. You might have read about it. I might have paid to see that. If I ever fly to Australia, it will be on Quantas.
You know that people can get attached to everything if it matters the most to them. Even an airplane retiring gets a lot of tears, one hell of an airplane.
Explanation: The 747 recently retired due to the 767 and 777 taking it over in terms of mileage, economy, technology, and overall efficiency, due to this many, including me, have been sad for the retirement of an absolute beast of technology, and aviation history. Note that I am totally not crying my eyes out rn.
The 767 was retired from the Qantas fleet years before the 747 and the 777 was never in their fleet so those reasons are invalid, The reasons regarding fuel efficiency are correct though
😢😢😢Leviticus 18:22 KJV Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. 😢
I know the feeling, used to be a flight attendant for SV and I was a 747 flyer, will never forget the day we operate the last flight for the Queen of the skies, all the crew was emotional as we land knowing it will be our last landing with her. What's heartbreaking the most is when I saw the captain kissed the door teary eyed as he exit the aircraft. Very proud that I flew with this beauty. She's an aviation legend❤️
My dad flew for Delta for 32 years. my mom, Brother, and myself all got to board and he flew us from Atlanta back home to Dallas. It was before 911, so the cockpit door was open so we could see. The firetrucks were spraying the water and the tower were all singing happy trails to you. I’ve never seen my dad except at his mom’s funeral, but that was so emotional.
Yes, that is the saddest moment when they retired this aircraft. I loved, loved this airplane, it’s my favorite out of all our fleet. She was the best! My most favorite was before they added all the extra seats to make more money. I was fortunate enough to work on it for 42 years before they retired her as a flight attendant . Loved this majestic aircraft. ❤️😢
42 years?! That’s incredible! So many aircraft, so many stories… I bet you were practically best mates with the Queen by that point! That must’ve been hard to say goodbye… if a plane ever had a soul, I’m sure this one was thankful for your dedication. Thank you for your service! And fly high, Queen of the Skies. You will be missed dearly ❤️
you will always be the queen of the skies we will all miss you and be in our hearts forever "Qantas 7474 for the last time you are cleared for takeoff" goodbye 747.😢
As an Australian myself and loves planes, this just kills me. It’s amazing how much flights it had in the first place and it was one of the best planes to ever exist. Edit: 812 likes in 2 days 😳
When I was younger I saw a bloody qantas 747 at Sydney before I really got into planes nowadays it saddens me to the heart I didn’t respect that moment more
I will never forget my first business class flight, which was to Australia and quite possibly on this beautiful bird. I ate a first rate dinner shortly after takeoff, watched a movie, then fell fast asleep for NINE HOURS, without pharmaceutical help, and awoke just in time to snarf down my second meal, as the captain announced our approach to Sydney. I have never been so comfortable and blissful on a plane. She was truly Queen of the Skies. Long live Boeing!
She was an Angel, the queen of the sky. I grew up with the 747 and every time we took a flight, my dad made shure its a 747 just so i could fly in my favorite plane. When i was 10 the Stewardess asked me mid flight if I wanted to see the cockpit. The pilot sit me on his thigh, held my hands and guided the plane with me, i was nearly 30min inside the cockpit and i was even allowed to set the gear at landing. I can never forget that view and the beautiful memories i have, it breaks my heart seeing it being discontinued

My dad is a war vet who served the Army for 24 years flying the Chinook, he finally decided to retire as a 1 star general ,and it was one of the happiest days for our family. It was hard for him because he would never get to fly the Chinook with his crew ever again, he even teared up, but it was worth it. He never been to any of my birthdays, Christmas, and fathers day. It was a bitter sweet day but it's all over ☺️. He flew during the war against Afghanistan and nearly got shot, saved people from hurricanes, and delivered all sorts of bombs and tanks, love him so much, he is the hero of my life
I worked on the wings for 747 in 1988 to 2000. Then, I was a firefighter for the company until 2014. I most likely worked on this A/P. The company isn't what it used to be before McDonnell Douglas bought the company with boeing money. What you see today is the McDonnell Douglas management.
“Qantas 74-74; For the last time, you are clear for takeoff.” End of an Era for Airliners. May the 747 fleet rest well knowing it was the best of the best.
I had chills down my spine, the 747 was and still will be known as the queen of the skies. It’s so sad having it gone, at least you can see the AN225 in plane heaven. You are most likely the most well known aircraft in the world, watching you go is just heartbreaking. Some people would’ve never even heard of you in the few coming years, and some people would have never flow in one of your many variants. From carrying a space shuttle, to just carrying passengers, the 747 has truly earned its name as the queen of the skies. There have been many instances where it doesn’t just carry regular passengers, but broken a record by carrying 605 refugees to safety. Cargo is also a major thing, and you will hopefully continue doing cargo flights. You will be missed my friend, goodbye 😢
@@AnAverageAvgeek correct during a evacuation flight hosted by Israel get people out of a combat zone they packed a 747 that had no seats or cargo full of 1000 people
I saw the 747 before but is was a cargo "Atlas air" one when we were landing at Miami for a connecting flight to Puerto Rico not knowing that they were to be retired in August
Myself doesn’t know about planes, but when I saw one of the comments and saying it’s coming out for retirement made me feel sad. Rest in Piece 747 you’ll be dearly missed. 🫡🤧😭
The message for the 747. The plane will be forever be missed and since this has happened it will never be the same. Since she is called ✨THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES✨1 like = 1 farewell wish to the 747
Even though this is sad, I am glad Lufthansa still uses their 747.. they are the Queens of the Sky. No one can convince me otherwise. I will be crying when the last 747 flies for the last time
It’s always sad to see the 747s being retired. They are my favorite Boeing airplanes. I flew on one of them several years back and it was an incredible experience. I’ll never forget it.
Genuine question since I’m not into aircraft, what makes it an amazing experience compared to other planes? Doesn’t it all just involve taking off, flying and landing?
AMEN! Be thankful that GOD woke you up today! GOD IS HIM! AMEN! THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD! 🙏🏾✝️ PLEASE DO NOT USE THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN! AMEN! Do not swear on anything, a simple yes or no is sufficient! AMEN! Let's keep this family friendly please! GOD DOES! ALL GLORY TO GOD! LORD PLEASE FORGIVE AND HELP IS ALL TO GET INTO ETERNAL PARADISE! Pray for everyone! None of us are worthy! But remember, GOD hates the sin, not the sinner! AMEN! 🙏🏾✝️
I can't believe I just cried over an airplane being retired.. i have a friend who is a Delta captain and since last year has looked like his best friend died
Just chucked ... The 1965 C 150 I took my first flying lesson in back in the late 70s ... Is still flying. It's remarkable that some of us can get emotionally attached to an airplane. I can't even watch them being scraped.
When I was child I taught airliner will long last(like 60 years) the 747. Because of Long Ranged and double deck. And now most B747 Got retired too early:(
I flew for 35 years. The 747 was such a amazing airplane! I remember sitting in the back crew seat rolling forever for take off. Going up and feeling those g force’s. What a rush!!

I’m sad that no more 747
“Qantas 74-74; For the last time, you are clear for takeoff.”
End of an Era for Airliners.
May the 747 fleet rest well knowing it was the best of the best.
I had chills down my spine, the 747 was and still will be known as the queen of the skies. It’s so sad having it gone, at least you can see the AN225 in plane heaven.
You are most likely the most well known aircraft in the world, watching you go is just heartbreaking. Some people would’ve never even heard of you in the few coming years, and some people would have never flow in one of your many variants.
From carrying a space shuttle, to just carrying passengers, the 747 has truly earned its name as the queen of the skies. There have been many instances where it doesn’t just carry regular passengers, but broken a record by carrying 605 refugees to safety. Cargo is also a major thing, and you will hopefully continue doing cargo flights.
You will be missed my friend, goodbye 😢
that was emotional bro
From a space shuttle to being able to carry 1k+ passengers (this really happened.)
@@AnAverageAvgeek correct during a evacuation flight hosted by Israel get people out of a combat zone they packed a 747 that had no seats or cargo full of 1000 people
I have never flown on one..
Why u talking to the plan like its a human... It can't hear you.....
Even as someone who doesn't know anything about planes, this hits hard
It is basically the biggest plane in the world I guess
a340: am i joke to u?@@KunalKumar-cn8yf
and also "Queen of the skies" Qantas has been declared to takeoff as a 747 for the last time cuz of retirement.
@@KaKaShka161the AN-225 has been destroyed tho
“For the last time, you are cleared for takeoff” HELP THIS LITERALLY MADE ME CRY😭
I nearly cried
Same with me too and the music make me sad with that line 😢
The line you are cleared for takeoff for the last time really hits hard 😭🫡
“It’s just an airplane” is what my brain says.
But my heart:😢
Goodbye 747.ive never saw you, unfortunately, but i will Never forget you ❤
😂
I saw the 747 before but is was a cargo "Atlas air" one when we were landing at Miami for a connecting flight to Puerto Rico not knowing that they were to be retired in August

Respect the queen of the skies. That's the last 747 in history ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lufthansa still has 747s in operation
The message for the 747. The plane will be forever be missed and since this has happened it will never be the same. Since she is called ✨THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES✨1 like = 1 farewell wish to the 747
goodbye queen of the skies
*“Our hearts feel for mighty machines, as our own hearts are mighty machines that keep us warm.”*
Even though this is sad, I am glad Lufthansa still uses their 747.. they are the Queens of the Sky. No one can convince me otherwise. I will be crying when the last 747 flies for the last time
Not the queen but the king of the sky
@@johnpopoff7950 For you it might be king, for me it's the queen of skies. There's no problem with either of those titles
good feeling i saw 3 747s in anchorage! i am so happy to know that the kings return is coming back!!!
The best thing about aviation is planes may come and go, but legends of the sky will never be forgotten. RIP 747.👍
You so free in life to comment this Like a simulation are you even real bot
..I'm the only real one lef5
😢 As an aviation enthusiast this brought me tears.
😢😢hes take off
It’s always sad to see the 747s being retired. They are my favorite Boeing airplanes. I flew on one of them several years back and it was an incredible experience. I’ll never forget it.
its only Qantas that is retiring their 747s
@@Nitrecz Yeah. I wish Qantas didn’t retire them but upgrade them or modify them in a way so that way Qantas can still use them.
@@diveloopthrills7613the 747 is old you can't repair upgrade or modify them indefinitely
Genuine question since I’m not into aircraft, what makes it an amazing experience compared to other planes? Doesn’t it all just involve taking off, flying and landing?
@@lemontrickle6033 I've never flown on a 747 but I think it is just that its a very old and nostalgic plane and its sad to see it go
You actually made me cry. This was actually so sad.
747 one of the most special planes in aviation history 😢😢❤❤
@@Chescat124yes.

Centuries
Tell that to 580+ people who died in 1977 in Tenerife.
300+ who died in Japan,
And another 1000+ people who died in other crashes
Im honestly happy, 747 retired.
Atleast now NTSB can rest
@@Ivan_GalaxyIt’s not 747’s fault
“For the last time your cleared for take-off” that damaged my feelings😭747 queen of the skies you will be missed in aviation history😢
AMEN! Be thankful that GOD woke you up today! GOD IS HIM! AMEN! THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD! 🙏🏾✝️ PLEASE DO NOT USE THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN! AMEN!

I can't believe I just cried over an airplane being retired.. i have a friend who is a Delta captain and since last year has looked like his best friend died
Just chucked ... The 1965 C 150 I took my first flying lesson in back in the late 70s ... Is still flying. It's remarkable that some of us can get emotionally attached to an airplane. I can't even watch them being scraped.
The plane looks great I wonder y they would scrap it
Not so bad if they are only scraped it's when they are scrapped is the problem
Imagine the honour of being the crew on the last flight of this beauty.
An era in aviation history just ended. To all 747 we will never forget u, u are really the QUEEN OF THE SKIES. Fly high 747❤😢
Boeing 747 is a queen of the sky, An-225 is the King of the Sky.
Doesn't lufthansa still fly them?
Delta still has a bunch of 747s and it's a possible they are getting 777s
Yes. They still do fly them.

Bye 747 ... you will always be in our hearts.🫡
Gosh. I remember that day. Sitting in a pub in Brisbane watching her trace the Roo on FlightRadar. Boy I miss them🥲
Goodbye 747, queen of the skies, you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, we all loved you
Everyone will remember the 747 and it shall never be forgotten.
747 never give up I will never forget about you everyone follow your dreams
As an Aussie when this happened I was sad 😢 R.I.P. queen of the skies
At least they gave her a proper goodbye in the form of a water cannon salute
True.
Rjsowifpskf747😣😟😥
When I was child I taught airliner will long last(like 60 years) the 747. Because of Long Ranged and double deck. And now most B747 Got retired too early:(
This video rlly made me cry R.I.P 747, Thank you so much Lufthansa for keeping some of the 747 🥹🥹
"Qantas 7474 for the last time, you are cleared to take off." Man that hit hard 😭
This airplane literally changed Qantas forever it seems heart breaking to see a airline retiring the plane which changed their fate forever 💔
Yes, so much sadder than all those plane crashes.
You can tell by the captain's wave he is so sad
😢
I flew for 35 years. The 747 was such a amazing airplane! I remember sitting in the back crew seat rolling forever for take off. Going up and feeling those g force’s. What a rush!!
we appreciate your aviation years and dedication into flying people thank you for spending 35 years flying 🫡
