I just saw Yankee Tango in Frankfurt last week, June 20th. It was preparing for a flight to ORD. It was super cool to see it in person. What a workhorse! IMO the most famous 747 in the world!
Stellar work my friend! I'll have to head down to Everett in the next month, capture some of these beauties! Congrats on this amazing Lufty Retro Queen!
The filming is just awesome. Lufthansa's 1970ies livery does credit to the timeless elegance of the sovereign of the skies. The only remark I would have to make: it would have been perfect if LH had also included their bare metal polished underbellies from the original livery.
Saw this bad boy at Haneda mid April this year. My Cousin who was taking it back to Frankfurt got confused why Lufthansa was using a very old 747 on a busy route like Haneda-FRA lol Until we saw the engine housing with chevron, we realized that it was the newer 747-8i in a classic paint job!
"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air. "Up, up the long delirious burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, where never lark, or even eagle, flew; and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God."
Die beste lackierung der Lufthansa ever❤👍👍👍😎🇩🇪
Airbus is dying with envy. Best plane ever. Queen of the skies.
Such a treat to see these '60s & '70s liveries I saw as a kid, I hope the trend continues. Great filming, thanks a lot.
I agree 100%
What an absolute beauty, looks stunning in this great retro livery. Excellent video!

great catch of LH newest Boeing747-8i. Always enjoy seeing LH livery on any type. Especially enjoy seeing the retro livery, kudos.
Spectacular job documenting this!!!

Great Video and nice livery! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent catch! I was sure you would catch it when I first heard about it.
Thanks for this wonderful video
Superb catch 😃
Cool livery on that fantastic airplane! :)
It really does feel like the early days of the 747.
Saw this bad boy at Haneda mid April this year.

That was a C-17 Type TO, Amazing
Still the best 747-8
Great Catch! Love this livery! Liked
Awesome
That scene at 3:43 is OMFG!!!!!! I have got to come up to PAE!
Is it the first Airline to put a Retro livery on a Heavy? Great that they did it!
wowwww very nice, I love LH.
Ladies and gentlemen, his (or her?) majesty: THE BOEING 747.
Memories
Really nice video! Hope, she will come to Hamburg for maintenace one day ;-)
Majestic
seen this retro livery 747 in PAE this February. Probably just rolled out of the assembly line
Saw this one landing at SFO
Is this what I see when I go to heaven
Lufthansa in its former old body colors.

This is in Frankfurt or which airport is? I like to take an pictures and videos.
The should put 4 engines from 777 on the 747-8i to make it bigger 👍🇧🇪😀
That'd look awesome! Wonder if it could hold all that weight lol
Would be interesting but unnecessary. As just one of those could support the aircraft in flight. At least for the 747-100 GE used
Look up GE9x, you will see GE has put one of the new 777x engines on a 747 test plane.
they should just go back to that livery
S T A T I O N W A G O N yes they should
I have that geminijet

End of an era...?
Bob Guzman yes sadly it is why take the best airplane that was and not use rebuild etc.. I flew on one twice I love it Lufthansa has it down!
Karoline Smail everything must pass..
