Cutting and Scrapping a B777 - Inside The Airplane Graveyard
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2024
- A few months ago, I visited an airplane graveyard at Victorville, Southern California Logistics Airport. There was a large amount of stored and retired airplanes, include a white Boeing 777 bought by Air Hollywood.
I am back to see how they cut the cockpit out of this B777, the cockpit cut is needed to bring it to Air Hollywood studio for a movie set. It is extremely interesting to see how the workers used a chain saw and fork lift to take out the B777 cockpit, in just over an hour. It is also interesting to see the bare interior of a B777. However, it is sad to see the plane without the cockpit. End of the line.
Don’t miss the next episode where I follow the cockpit to delivery at Air Hollywood. The owner gave me a behind the scenes tour on how Hollywood airplane movies are made inside Air Hollywood studio.
That's a very straight cut on freehand, very impressive.
Iris Pettson Thought I saw a chalk or laser line when they were making the cut inside.
@@mmouseav8r402 That makes sense, I'd expect a laser on the equipment, but didn't see any.
There were lines drawn on the outside of the plane. Guide lines. But nice to see a straight cut using a heavy saw. I've used one and I'm a burly dude and I can tell you it ain't easy!
Those planes are so strong they can fly through buildings
What’s not impressive is is lack of a mask
As much as I love airplanes, aircraft boneyards, and reading about airplane crashes, it's taken me a while to actually watch a plane being cut up like this. I really enjoyed this video!
I thought it was going to be sad to see her scrapped, but it was cool to see how she will continue to serve a purpose. And can we talk about how skilled that guy was with the cuts? I can barely cut a straight line in a piece of paper with scissors!

"Dont do this at home"
Well there goes my plans of cutting up my 777 thats parked in the back yard.
Spoilsports! ☹️
I know man, my weekend has been ruined. What am I supposed to do with it now?
@@FordFan01 Try to get some money to move it, repair it, and fly it
you can do it at a mall
I think you could probably convert it into a house.
This looks like a dangerous job. Respect to the guys doing the cutting.
Making big money comprises of danger
I would be wearing lots of sound protection, worried about hearing loss
Who has been waiting for Sam to post a new video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sam, as a retired 4 million miler (Mainly Oneworld) I would like to say that you are the only Vlogger I follow. The other people reviewing flights etc, do not come close to your expertise, emotion and passion. Keep up the great work and seeing you on all these flights makes me glad that aviation is now only a part of my vAcation lifestyle and not vOcation anymore...well done!!!
Sam, you should purchase a plane and convert it into a house. 😁
He’s not that rich calm down.
Yes aye
i think he should buy a a380.
@@jessacamtzw if he is not that rich how would he buy all this plane ticket.
@@rexkwok1878 not that that rich bro
I’m so excited for episode 2!
Me to
The FX and animations on these videos do not go unnoticed. Just thought I’d say so. An incredible addition to the production value.
Prayers for those who died in an air crash in pakistan yesterday 😥😥
Yeah
Allah will save them
@@alirbx7385 Yes
Yeh
Pray for all of them
Don’t lie, Who’s been a fan of aviation? 😇

"717"s still in service and 777s being cut up. Amazing.
That is because Boeing could never build a good plane
The 717 was built after the merger (1998-2006) while the 777 started deliveries in 1995. There are 777s older than the oldest 717. And there are no MD series still flying with major operators (vast majority stored or scrapped), so while some of them lasted 30+ years, they are inefficient and tired by today’s standards.
@@aurktman1106 we are talking old air craft. the dc3 is flying to day. boeing has no plane that age flying today. the 737 max is efficient but they crash a lot
@@aurktman1106 let me know if boeing has a plane as old as the dc3 flying to day. opp boeing dont because they build junk
@@dknowles60 lol
I am always wondering what they are doing with the chairs when they recycle/destroy an airplane. I mean some of them are made from leather, and in general they require many resources.
They most likely won't reuse them, because the chairs on recycle planes, are from "old collection", but I bet they disassembled them, and reuse the resources?
@@ors1392 They might. I mean, this problem also needs to be dealt with when an airline upgrades the interiors of an aircraft. For example QATAR upgrading its Business Class, to QSuites and such.
@@OrSNCucumber the fabric is very coarse because it has to be fire resistant, as a result its not good for much and most of it goes to landfill unfortunately.
some companies will buy them for a small price.
They can be reused as a seating area. for a (air) travel based companies and companies surrounding actual air travel.(near airport hotels) it might be nice to have a few to get the costumer in to the mood.
they do tent to use just the economy seats above the higher end once.
@@sirBrouwer Correct. Therefore I was wondering what can be done with the premium classes seats, since I imagine each seat costs good few thousands of Dollars.
Mike (the guy with the saw) has a very steady hand. Supreme cutting.
"Don’t do this at home" believe it or not but I wasn’t gonna do it
xD
_LeTiti hi
_LeTiti yeh like we have airplanes😂😂
Nipple
I haven't got a B777 at home lol
Can't wait for episode 2! The 'preview' was already very entertaining!
Am a kid and I love your channel
Hey Sam, thanks for the entertainment even in this difficult times. #Staysafe :)
#StaySafe
What!?! There's no cockpit! Best line of the video.
For some reason seeing the cockpit get taken off is kind of satisfying
All Nippon Airways.
〜inspiration of japan〜
love it
It is so good to see useless planes getting re-used.But so sad to see other planes on the ground because of Covid-19 or of age😞😞. #StaySafe
Agreed. It’s sad that so many planes had to be retired or grounded during this time. I was bummed when Air France retired its A380 fleet because I would never be able to experience it again
#StaySafe
@@arnavreddy Omg, why did france Airways withdraw this type of aircraft !!
@@timpss9311 its not profitable for Air France, Emirates A380s were profitable because they have so many of them. They have the maintenance infrastructure and can buy parts in bulk.
The 747 (-400 models and up) didn’t deserved to be retired.
I remember when the 777 came out. Damn, I'm getting old!
I am here for work right now! Super cool place. I am actually on site as I am typing this lol.
I hope some great movies are filmed in that cockpit!
It's kinda sad to see one of my fave planes being chopped up lol
Alien Man next episode for u, chopping down a ufo
Same its really sad
Sam let's see the fuel tanks cut open let's see it. 👍
sunsetlights100 That’s a bright idea
@@mmouseav8r402 It could be a very bright idea...
Love that you've made so many videos from my community at SCLA. As you know, you're always welcome here.
its so good that someone is saving a plane ...so sad that no one can fly ...even sad that we cannot see more of your review videos of airlines
Mike is amazing with the cuts, skills
Mr SAM is the best , i liked your videos , GOD bless you.
What a stunning video... I wish I could go to the Air Hollywood Studio and become a neutral and overwhelmed passenger
Thannks sam. Keep flying. You are my paasion of flying. Ypu got me into aviation. Im thankful for that. Remember thia phrase. Keep calm and start flying
It’s amazing to see you alive with all the plane stuff
I just found your channel and love the first class experiences I did not know existed. The airplane graveyards are impressive and I have a new found appreciation for airplanes and how they have changed the world.
Now that's what i call a facelift! Great video Sam
You are the best and will alway be the best
Wow! Incredible! Love you’re work! Such an amazing channel! The amount of work you put into you’re videos! Well done Sam!
It’s amazing how They do it and what happens
That cockpit part is every flight simmer's dream
7:21 The moment everybody is waiting for.
Pretty good job cutting! Must must have nimble hands
First of all....the guy doing the cutting is amazing!!!
Sam thank you for all the incredible video's you post. :-)
Sad to see the striping and cutting of the aircraft but if it brings a second life of non flying days, it is still great to watch.
Wow Such A Good Video!!! Great Content Keep Up The Good Work
Awesome View Love from India..
I was on the repair of a 747, line 1372. We cut the cockpit out of it, built a new -M in Kansas, installed it. 72 days round the clock. It's still flying. Pressure test damage in production.
That must be very stress relieving to do honestly
I’ve never imagined the day I witness the scraping of a 777 in my lifetime, first time i flew in one in the year 2000 on board of a Saudi airlines when I was 6 y/o it was also the first time i even get on a plane absolutely one of the best experiences in my life.
Since when they started scraping them anyway?
Wow, Sam! Such a cool video! You always take us along on such interesting and diverse aviation experiences! Thanks for sharing!
4:56, Its called the aft pressure bulkhead, or aft pressure dome.
Man your show should come on discovery or National geography . Very Informative and interesting to watch. Love from India.
Awesome video 👌
Wow, so cool. I work at a company that builds flight simulators and now i know how they cut these out and get delivered to to my place of work.
So cool to see. I used to fly on the Scoot 777s quite a lot so was probably a passenger on this guy at some point!
"Stay safe kids and dont do this at home"
thanks for reminding me, i was planning to to cut the head of a Boeing 777 park in my garage
How sad. I know it’s a machine without a soul but when it was alive it protected and carried humans in comfort and safety to far flung corners of the world. Consider the effort that went into creating that machine.
Very nice video indeed!
Nice analysis
Lemme guess..
Ex-VIM Airlines VP-BVY?
Sooo cool sam! Nice seeing abandoned planes!!👍👍
great video............
Everybody gangsta till the guy with the chainsaw shows up on your flight
Nice video it’s interesting seeing how they cut the aircraft. It would be so cool to have a yoke from a 777 or something in my bedroom
amazing video please write back
Sam, I suggest you to buy an air Hollywood's refurbished aircraft cockpit and the 777 body to build a model aircraft wonderland
Nice edit of the cutting
I am surprised they are already cutting up B-777's there are not all that old.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Great video Sam, you don't get to see such detail, well done, I am enjoying your videos, thanks...
That Air Hollywood place looks dope I really want to visit it
The makers of that power saw would make a great commercial for it with this video.
*"DO YOU WANNA CUT YOUR WAY OUT OF A PLANE, GET YOURSELF THE 777 POWER SAW!"*
Merci beaucoup pour cette nouvelle vidéo 😉😷🇫🇷
Great video Sam, seems like you are having more time to add funky graphics and effects now.
Sam keep on missing you Everytime you are in LA. Was just up at Victorville and San Bernardino days ago, but I only get to look from the property line before security chases me away from the fence. We need to do dimsum sometime.
Incredible video. Interesting but sad for me to watch. I flew on this plane when it was 9V-OTE with Scoot.
Great video as always, Sam, once this is all over we’ll meet in the skies again. Stay safe until then. You’ve inspired me to start my own aviation RUclips channel, I’ve tried some trip reports and flying videos out. I’d love some interaction. Stay safe, everyone
Happy watching all your.vlogs thank.u.sir sam more power to.you..hope to.see you in the wing cx lounge hongkong...looking forward to see u I like ur vlogs really.made.my day
I wish I can have a Boeing-747 cockpit set.
That’s so cool I didn’t know they cut it like that
Can you just buy a plane from there? Like adopt it and visit it frequently?
I can’t wait for part 2!
Wow Sam I didn't notice that you hit over 2m followers! Congratulations!
Next idea: Unscrapping a 777 and refurbishing it
We can expect the very best videos from Sam!
Nice aircrafts
is the cockpit going the be in a movie seen？
I, as a film grip, would love to have an in depth behind the scenes of Air Hollywood.
Thanks Sam...great video as always !!
I wonder when aviatoin will completely change the planes look the expences and the speed and the features.
Cool ; I used to campout with some buddies in the desert, just outside Victorville.
Comentario numero 500!
Deep inside that there is an IC (silicon chip if you like) that I worked on for a short time. I even remember the part number to this day, but had better not mention it. It had noise issues because it was so long in development that it got shrunk onto smaller geometries (faster) than the design was really intended for.
Amazing, Sam! Can`t wait to see part 2!
Only you Sam, only you sir. Thanks and God bless.
Used in the Prime Video "7500" where all the action takes place in the cockpit.
good luck sam
I really cannot wait for the next video!
Wasn't the B777 the most used long haul aircraft, until the latest accident? If they are scrapping it what will they replace it with?
