I would recommend to anyone who wants to see Concorde to go to Manchester Airport runway visitor park. They give u a full tour of the aircraft and u get to sit in the seats and there is no glass panels so u can go where u want!! They also tell u who went on the plane and tell u about EVERY SINGLE part of the plane! It’s great.
Useful info! If I'm in the area again will definitely go.
I can also recommend Brooklands museum if further south - it's where some parts were built and they have a BA Concorde that you can have a look around and do a mock 10 min flight. More for the kids, but I still liked it. The one funny thing I remember is that they said that there was a big discussion over whether the name should have the 'e' on the end of it. The French won that one!
@@davidellis4031 There is one of these in Filton - Bristol too. That's also great.
There is also the Technik Museum in Germany, where I have been.
National Museum of flight in Scotland also has one, worth a visit
Sounds epic
Useless fact: That Alaskan in the shelter at 12:06 is 1 of the test planes for the software updates. It flies around all the time.
Pretty useful fact actually.
Alaska
The 747 shows up ax exactly 7:47 I wonder if it's a coincidence?
I bet Noel did that on purpose as a little easter egg for us. Clever guy.
The Queen is always on time.
Cue X Files Theme lol
Lol 😂
I can assure you I'm totally not smart enough to plan that! But cool coincidence 😂
Was here a year and a half ago. Loved it! Also went to the tour at the Everett plant and saw the 747,777,767 and 787 production lines. Incredible.
737 Max parking reminds me of the fields filled with VW TDIs. Both are memorials to dubious engineering shortcuts.
Cool. D.B Cooper at 7:30. ;) He did jump from the tail door of a 727 so makes sense he's there.
Eirik Newth, another Google Plus spotter?
Why are you verified?
That DB Cooper is the only real one there was never any hijacker the crew did it is the only logical answer let the passengers go dump the cash and land with the story...think about it..
@@charliemcguire5051 He is actually a pretty well known astrophysicist in Norway.
Noel Philips: "A flying car. I need one of these"
Richard Hammond: "Trust me, you don't"
Love the 727, my very first flight on one to Majorca with Dan Air in 1989 disembarking via the steps at the rear of the aircraft underneath the tail.
When I was in the military I was passing through (classified) air base and got to see a Blackbird (from a distance) take off on a mission. As soon as it lifted off the thing went nearly vertical and all you could see was the blue exhaust flame....then it disappeared. That was a sight to behold.
I'm glad they built the new hanger for Concorde etc. When I went they were all outside and getting a bit dirty. This is much better.
dwftube Agreed!
Thanks for the video Noel! My family and I were supposed to visit Seattle and the Museum of Flight this week, but due to the Coronavirus and the border closure, we had to cancel.😢. This was the next best thing until we can actually go! All the best to you, and stay safe.
10:02 Indian Navy P-8 Poseidon
My dad worked as a electronic warfare systems engineer for the first 3 or 4 being delivered.
P001 is nicknamee Black Betty. Has a black ball under the radome with my signature and my dads. Plus all the other delivery techs. Its was like a pre deployment ceremony.
He was in India for the last 3 years.
This was in 2012 to 2016. He retired soon after.
You missed so much more of the museum! The Boeing Red Barn, the WWI/WWII wing and the Space wing with the Space Shuttle Trainer. Either way, this is a fantastic museum that should be on anyone's bucket list. BTW, the South Park Bridge (16th St) has the best view of the parked MAXes.
It is for the “freight” Noel. The coach seats are for all the press!😂
Great upload Noel in these sparse times! But I really like to see different stuff from you too, so it’s awesome to see. Those 737s! Wow!
This is a great museum I've been to this as a kid and I took my kids to this museum. They had a blast
Wonderful video, I really enjoyed it :-) The 747 is my favourite, I took my very first flght from Manchester to Hong Kong on a 747 back in 1995. Thanks so much for your amazing videos!
My favourite aircraft was probably the Concorde, got to visit the one in Bristol back in February. I must admit I was shocked at how small and tight it was inside
My favourite of all of those is the Boeing 727. I'm old enough to have flown on it LOTS of times, and it was a great plane from the passenger's standpoint, for several reasons. First, if you sat on a front-section window seat, you had the best unobstructed views ever (especially on the 727-200, which was longer). Second, at a time when jet bridges were still uncommon in many areas, being able to board and alight from the rear stairs in addition to the front sped up things a lot -- there were 727 flights with ground turnover times of as little as 15 minutes. Third, it was faster than other commercial jets, up to 990 km/h at cruise. It often shaved 10 or 15 minutes off short-haul flights. And fourth, it was incredibly smooth in flight and took off like a rocket, you could feel the power of those three engines as the 727 quickly soared into the sky, inspiring confidence. Alas, it was too fuel-thirsty and noisy (outside, not inside) for the new reality of aviation and it had to go, but it's missed by everyone who flew on it.
Goytá F. Villela Jr. Yes, that aircraft was responsible for the Australian Government buying new fighter aircraft for the Royal Australian Air Force, RAAF. Until then the RAAF flew ageing Sabre jets and there was increasing pressure on the Government to upgrade. They were finally coerced into buying a new fighter (the Mirage 111C) when it was pointed out that our 727s were faster, than the Sabres, in level flight. A new age of aviation had certainly arrived.
This is almost my "dream holiday" - which is to see this museum plus do the Boeing Factory Tour. I hope that it will still be possible for me to do that before I die. Favourite plane here: Concorde followed by the old Air Force One. Thanks for uploading this video
I'm legit laying on the couch watching this with that exact same NASA shirt.....It's one of my favorites lol
the museum of flight is my favorite museum I literally love it (Seattle is my hometown)
It’s nice to see all these historic aircraft (the large ones) under cover. For so long they were sitting out in the elements.
We visited there back in May, there were even 737s in a car park back then....It definitely hasn't exactly been a great 12 months for Boeing and now anyone really.
It brings back some very happy memories of the day, now that I'm grounded at home...Thanks Noel!!
Thank u very much for a great museum tour👍🏼 Looking forward to seeing more of your great content! Enjoy😉
Favourite aircraft at that museum has to be Concorde! I'm definitely going to have to visit it one day! It looks amazing!
Noel, as always great video, hope you and family are staying safe!
I live so close to the museum. Haven't visited it in a while but I've driven down Marginal Way and saw all the 737s
Thanks for the video Noel, that museum looked brilliant
Great videos, love watching your stuff .
Very interesting report. Was great to see all different types of aircrafts. Hope you and the family are doing well.
You can get that close to an SR71 Blackbird in The Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Cambridgeshire. The rivets that thing is held together with are fascinating. Its hard to believe that such an amazing machine was built just to take photos of what the Ruskies were up to.
Hello from Norway. ( Skien ) Been to the Museum of flight 3 times, and it never gets boring! Great video!
You know what avgeeks love Noel! Nice 2 for 1 video! That museum was cool!
Saw this museum a few months ago, loved it. Keep up your great videos
Amazing video I hope I will be able to visit the museum myself too in the future.
Cars not parking in the lines are a pain, but planes no in the lines is an even bigger pain
Favorite: SR-71 Blackbird. There's another one parked at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo.
12:19 that's a enerjet(low cost carrier from Canada) in the new livery
The A 12 was my favorite aircraft! ( you referred to it as an SR 71, the A 12 was the “ attack” Version of the SR 71 which did not go into production)
In the UK there's a SR71 at Duxford, there's also a Concorde there that you can walk through as well.
In the 70's as an ATC Cadet in West London we used to get Opportunity Flights with BOAC and BEA the were arranged by the TV personality Hughie Green (An ex WW2 pilot) he used to have a talent show called Opportunity Knocks, hence Opportunity Flights.
Basically at sort notice, usually the night before you could be told to present yourself, in uniform, to BOAC or BEA engineering at Hatton Cross at about 06:00 to be taken on a training flight. No extensive use of simulators then. I got flights in VC10, B707, B747, Trident and BAC 111. The flights would usually go to either RAF St Mawgan (Now Newquay Airport) or RAE Bedford for circuits with at least 3 flight deck crews training. We'd get cockpit visits and on one occasion I got to sit in the co-pilot's seat of a B707 and have 20 minutes at the controls with the auto pilot off. So I've got a bit of a soft spot for the B707.
I Absolute love your channel I've been watching your videos for some time now and really enjoy watching thank you for sharing keep being awesome 👍😊
I used to live on Whidbey Island off of Everett and we drove by Boeing every time we went to Seattle. We often got to see brand new aircraft and those ginormous doors open to see them putting them together. It was sad to see it go away. All the people who lost their jobs. I feel like the time we lived there, (late 70s through the 80s) was a magical time. Seattle wasn’t run over by homeless people everywhere, a person could walk through Pike Place market with no graffiti everywhere you look, it was a fun place to live
Love the video of the museum in Seattle. My favorite, easy the B727. Used to take the PanAm B727 from Nurnberg to Berlin every week in the late 80's. Elizabeth (belgium)
My everlasting favourite the Blackbird. What it did, what it could do, its design, how it flies, how it had to be prepared for each flight, how it holds its fuel, just supremely fascinating. Having joined RAF Duxford I had the greatest pleasure being present at a 2hr lecture by one on Blackbird's pilots who had flown in from US especially. 👌
Duxford air museum is always worth visiting too. They have a Blackbird in the American Aircraft Hanger as well as a prototype Concorde, Vulcan Bomber, Lancaster bomber and a whole host of other amazing aircraft. Definately loads to see for a day out.
Great vid yet again Noel, 👍. I loved the museum - have you been to Duxford, my dad used to love that place?
I wish it had been that quiet when I was there 3 years ago. I was blown away by the 747, it felt huuuge. I also loved seeing the history of Boeing. Another very interesting quirky thing to see in Seattle is the Hat n Boots former gas station that was restored and put in a small public park.
I literally was there last summer it’s was my best aviation experience I’ve had
I was in awe of that 747, I have seen so many pictures of it and I didn't know it still existed
Seeing those MAXs parked up, reminds me of a photograph I have in one of my aviation books from the 70s: Its a stunning photo of the first ten DC 10s parked up at Long Beach, prepped and waiting to be delivered to the customer: 6 of them had crashes or serious incidents that destroyed the aircraft.
I was wondering how many people currently walking around Africa, South America or Asia, and those yet to be born, will die on those planes currently parked there, in 17 - 20 years time? You know, when that tired tin is sold on from hard duty in USA & Europe, to be flown by pilots currently in school and where maintenance is 'Freestyle' shall we say...
But hey: they won't be Americans or Europeans, right, so, who cares if the plane has serious fundamental flaws... cue ABBA; money money money....
I’m glad you got something great in while you were there.
Visited that museum just in October. Awesome place.
Great video, on my bucket list now
Good vid! You missed out on a great aircraft to fly Noel. The 727 was a great airplane to fly in for an avgeek, those trijets on the back, pushed the aircraft airborne in a cool steep climb and looking out at the clean wing with no engines on it during flight was nice. I used to fly the USair Shuttle and Delta Shuttle 727-200 from LGA-DCA back in the early 90's.
Thanks for sharing !
787 Dreamliner 😍🤩. Was a bit sad you didn’t go inside it though...
I remember being able to go places those were the days
favourite was the concorde...lucky to have been a passenger back in the late 70's and still have a few item's from that flight...heathrow to jfk
Absolutely fantastic video
Finally you're back 👍👍👍
Woah that place looks amazing. After going to the Air and Space in Washington last year, I now feel like going to Seattle ! Thank you for a nice review
was there in 2015, loved it, need to go again!
Love your videos. Hope you and your family are safe and well :) love all aircraft
We're doing great, thank you! Hope you are too!
Loving this. Looking at the ild planes is jus the best 👌
'Self loading freight', love it.
Two years ago I went to the Boeing factory tour and the museum! It was really cool
The 727 was a great aircraft to fly on. If you sat towards the front, it was so quiet. The 727 an L-1011 were my favorite ones to fly on.
Amazing visit to the Boeing Archive. Who would have thought!
You can also visit the future of flight museum which is right across from the Everett Boeing plant. Before COVID you could also take a tour of the plant and see planes being built. The Dreamlifter also does some rounds in the area. It's amazing to see such a giant aircraft floating in thr sky.
Definitely a big fan of the old 727-100 in the old United livery. I remember when Boeing livestreamed the flight from their Everett factory (where it was being renovated) to Paine Field, the aircraft's final flight. It was stunning to view.
6:10 '...the self-loading freight'... What an apt term for the media!
I thought it was a term for passengers generally....
Hope you’re staying safe Noel!
fantastic studio noel
Favourite for its sleek looks has to be Concord, but it was interesting to see the presidential airforce 1 from way back too! Very interesting cheers!
Wow nice vlog Noel Phillips
Great video Noel 👋👍
My favorite plane was the B727, at least those flown by Continental/Air Micronesia on the "island hopper" route in the 1970s and 1980s. Every flight was a heart thumping adventure, especially before the old WW2 strips were replaced by modern ones. Those pilots were stunning. They regularly landed B727s on 4800' crushed coral gravel runways. The 727 was the only commercial jet capable of the conditions at the time (and each had an undercoating of Teflon to protect it from gravel kick up). One "Air Mike" pilot once told me that flying a B727 into Yap or Chuuk was like trying to control a rock falling out of the sky. Those Hail Mary landings were never boring! Super museum tour. The next time I visit relatives in Portland and Tacoma, visiting this museum will be on top of my to-do list. God knows when that will be. Aloha from Hawai'i.
Have you been to the east fortune flight museum in the Scottish Borders? They’ve got an amazing Concorde that you can go around as well, there’s loads of old civil planes. Really nice day out if it’s a good day. Generally quiet outside of peak season.
They have a Concorde in Bristol. Amazing to go and have a look around .
I actually flew on the 727 in the vid NUA727 on the tail. It was 1984 May or June from Raleigh to Ft Lauderdale via St Petersburg (Florida).The 727 landed very quickly and it had a very sharp climb, but not as sharp as the Trident.
I remember the angle of the climb being so much more severe than any other aircraft. Also the thud of recoiling landing gear was loud. The 727 was my favorite aircraft
Cool video thank you 😊
I worked a few of these aircraft. Back in the 1980’s, 1990’s in overhaul facility. 727,737,747 classic and SP, 757,DC-10, DC-10-30, etc.
I really enjoyed that, great to see inside a Concorde
The SR 71 Blackbird is an amazing machine. There is one here in the UK at Duxford air museum.
Always wanted to go to that Museum, one day hopefully. Favorite plane was the 727 and 747.
Back in my day the 727 was the workhorse for the airlines, like the 737 today. I spent many hours on a 727.
Thanks for taking me back on-board BOAG, that’s the Concorde I flew twice and visited to say goodbye when it visited YYZ on BA’s farewell tour. Also did the walk through of her at the Museum. (And yes, I used that washroom between LHR-JFK after breakfast...on-board celebrities were Michael Jackson sitting two rows behind me and Barbara Walters two ahead in the 2nd cabin.)
That's incredible. The same Concorde that Michael Jackson, Barbara Walters (and David B) flew on - it really is incredible.
Verry nice, would love to visit. Only been to the USS Intrepid in NYC. There's also a small show in Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn or the Ulster Aviation Society in Lisburn Northern Ireland right beside the Air Ambulance station.
I like the 380 it looks big and grand keep up with the good vids.
been there 3 years ago and yes it is a fantastic place and it took a loong time to see since it was so interesting
There's a high school right next to the Palvion, I went there after my Science Olympiad, very cool!
Fun fact. That gate thats by the military flight center is an active crossing. Sometimes you can see all sorts of air planes going to storage or being sent to the flight line.
Also I went to the Aviation high school next door. 2008 inaugural class.
Oh cool, I'm 29 days and counting away from graduating with the class of '22. Mr. Mccomb still talks about the class of '08
That 737-100 is also the first 737. Went 3 years ago on the way back to our hotel after doing the factory tour in Everett so only had a couple of hours and went straight past all the halls to see that hall with the 747 etc. If we're ever aloud to leave the UK to go to the USA again, might have to pay another visit.
I was just there and I went to Everett Paine Field and saw all the planes manufactured!
My favorite would definitely be the City of Everett Boeing 747, as the 747 is my favorite aircraft!
I wish everyone in the airline industry all the best in these difficult times, but do wonder if some of those planes are wondering who will go bankrupt first - their manufacturer or their airline...
Guys, Let's buy Noel a "Noel Force One"
I used to drive by SFO regularly, 51 years ago. A 747 was parked near Bayshore Freeway for the public to see whilst driving past. My first thought was that it was too big to ever get airborne. I never flew aboard one. I usually flew in 727s and 737s. The US government leased old 707s to take us soldiers to Vietnam. Ragged old wrecks even then. I came home in a shiny Flying Tiger plane.
Love the museum of flight! If you get a chance in the future the Boeing factory tour in Everett is pretty cool. They also have a small Boeing museum as well but my favorite part is the Dreamlifter hangar is right next door so the views from the observation deck are awesome when one is there.
Cindy Lucas he wouldn’t be able to film there though as you can’t take cameras or phones on the tour
True, but still a cool place for aviation enthusiasts
Love what you said about the Boeing engineer in the 747. You're obviously not bound in your commenting, I like that.
