Hello all, and thank you so much for watching this week's special video.
We at PlanesWeekly are very fascinated about KLM and indeed their 747's. We've had the awesome opportunity to be able to fly on the KLM 747 a couple of times this year. Today you see something even more special as today, Friday October 28th, will be the last day the iconic KLM 747 is operating to and from St. Maarten. We were so lucky to be able to not just see the 747 there, but also fly back on it back to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
In this video you see the beautiful "Jumbo Jet" pushback, taxi and takeoff followed by a sharp right turn to clear the mountain at the very end of the runway.
This was shot on October 16th making it the 6th last KLM Boeing 747 takeoff from St. Maarten. We believe that this is valuable footage to share as this is not likely to happen again anytime soon.
We would like to thank KLM and the nice crew they always have on board for some truly amazing experiences with them on their 747 and any other aircraft.
We really hope that you enjoy the video, and as always stay tuned for a new video coming up every week!

Awesome how the videographer was able to move so quickly from inside the aircraft to outside for external views.
"Beam me out Scotty"!
Great video!
Yeah, he must be in really good shape.
Harold Humerickhouse 2 different people.
CJ Vlogs no!!! I never would have known if you hadn't said. My goodness, you're clever...
So much sarcasm in this thread loooool
Now that's acceleration!! I've never seen any plane take off that quickly!
the miracle: the plane is only a quarter or half tanked with kerosine because the runway is too short for an fully tanked 747 or similiar. so the planes have to land in aruba or curacao where the runway is longer to fill up the tank full and then it goes straight to europe or US or somewhere. i read it in wikipedia. so now it make sense why the 747 is so fast and rotate so fast 😂
Pilot: "I'm in a rush. I wanna get home for a Schmoke and a pancake!"
lol
4 years later and ive seen this and buckled laughing.
First officer waving at the beach 2:45
Arch Vile Omg xD
OMG IT'S SOOOO COOL!!! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE WAVE TO ANYONE
AussieMozzie I love your sarcasm
and all the tourists waiting on the fence for the jet blast!
`Ill see ya guys at the hospital!`
best airport I have ever been LOVE St. Maarten
A picture of absolute beauty in function and form. I think I will always love the 747!
I love Boeing 747 ,, what a fantastic plane ,
Osama Al Mulki I’m sad to hear they will be retiring soon
A380 is the best plane
EMD_ Luis so false
A380 is better
It is very iconic
The Boeing 747 is and will always be the queen of the sky.....no aircraft will match her superiority in our generation.....
ANGEL productions Agreed. Nothing built nowadays has quite the same class, quite the same impact.
tobagotb10 Airbus A380
jk lol i hate Airbus too, Boeing all the way
Airbus can go to hell with its automated BS
tobagotb10 I’m pretty sure the Concorde used a lot more fuel than a 747
Airbus a380
A350 > 747 in all areas that matter... sure the silhouette is cool but so is the concorde’s... or the dc3’s
Stunning takeoff! You guys produce some of the best videos! Hands down, big like!
+Flyspotter19 Indeed a stunning takeoff - awesome experience! They usually gain some more altitude before turning, but with a light load it was no problem.
Thank you! We really appreciate the support!!
No kiddin!!!! That was like 20 seconds!! That's incredible.
And I totally agree with Flyspotter19, excellent video. I love seeing both camera views. Nice touch. Thanks so much. :)
I'll bet you didn't want to leave that beautiful island!! . I know I wanted to just stay in Maui and find a place to live!! lol I love the island life!! :)
Thanks again for an excellent video. Take care and keep traveling so we can enjoy more of YOUR fun. lol :D
Flyspotter19 thank for this vidio

Always amazes me how those engines stay on.
The best video I ever saw of a KLM Boeing 747 departing from SXM !!!!!
I love it too much !
What a quality !!!!
+Romeo43Suriname Thank you so much! That means the world to us. You can look forward to much more from SXM.

Flew out of Atlanta on Delta with a TS 1/4 from the end of the runway. Cleared for take off and once we were wheels off and up we made a /Right turn. I was in left window seat and could see the center line of the runway. AWESOME takeoff..
You know, I'd like to see a (tiny but UHD) wide-angle camera mounted to the wing tips; one on each side. It'd be immense to see the main body of the aircraft during take-offs, landings etc. :)
Don't worry, a 2 pound camera on the wingtip would not adversely affect the aircraft in any way.
EnDSchultz1 - or maybe put one of the fancy spy cams in the lens housing of the strobe lights.

Thanks so much..I'm sorry to see her go..
Never underestimate the roar power of 747s. Beautiful airliners.
The flying pilot is playing with the plane. Release brakes at full throttle + turn after 2 seconds. One cool pilot who's taking advance of the fact that no one is watching from Amsterdam. +1!
RaAyAp but the plane is not looking good from outside
I have severe flight anxiety and watching this made my heart race 😤
WOW! That was one of the best and fastest takeoffs I've ever seen in my life!That was awesome.Massive Like!
Awesome cinematic shots and excellent film quality!
Film quality???
flightworks this is not flim
That was an amazingly short takeoff run. Presumably, they stood on the brakes until they got full power? Unlike YT vids I've seen on longer runways where they start to roll before takeoff power is set.
Absolutely stunning! The Queen of the Skies!

20 secs from zero to Vr....that is some big ass hauling...awesome video
sudarshan mn Absolutely incredible!
Thank you for watching!
yes it is impressive but standard out of this airport. I am sure she is not fully loaded with fuel or anywhere near her MTOW.

Rip the people at the beach behind those engines
@@tazdevl2000 Offe course. Lightly loaded, F20 flaps for shorter ground run and liftoff speed, actually not a fast takeoff as a fully loaded if we talk Vspeed as the lighter you get the lower the V figures are. SO we could argue that a fully loaded take-off is "faster" than a lighthly loaded one. If we talk time time spend rolling then the correct expression is quick vs lenghty.
An 800,000 lb craft accelerating 0-180 mph within 20 seconds is unreal! Yet it seemed so smooth & uneventful
it looked like the co-pilot was waving to the camera at 2:48 LOL
Yes dear. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. It even reminds me my memories when I flew from Dubai to Karachi in the same KLM in 1997. City of Karachi livery.
Being a Commercial Pilot has got to be the Coolest Job Ever 😎 All of You should Be Proud & Take A Bow
I'll never understand people who close their window shade right after boarding... Like, you have these monstrous engines that are about to blast you - and the giant metal tube you're sitting in - 30.000 feet into the sky at 900 km/h. How exciting is your life, that this miracle of engineering isn't worth your attention? (I know it's probably me, the avgeek, who is the weird one, but still it just blows my mind)
So Beautiful and the take off was stunning!! The almighty 747-400 has the power!! Love it!
I was British Airways Concorde Captain for ten years and I must say this KLM B747 take off and immediate turn was extremely ‘tame’ compared with Concorde’s take offs from runway 31L at New York’s JFK. TAKE OFF AND IMMEDIATE 25 DEGREE BANK LEFTHAND TURN OVER JAMAICA BAY. Now that was worth seeing especially if a train was crossing the bridge in the bay!
What a pity you won’t see that again
Keith Barton hey, Keith, there’s a wonderful 2 hour flight deck view of the manoeuvre you mentioned plus the crossing back to LHR. Crew explain in detail path, noise abatement procedures, etc., in laymen terms . I recall leaving JFK for LAX on a UA 777 years ago and watching Concord takeoff on 31L. Ah, those were the days. It was an Aussie BA CEO who pulled the plug.
I've never been on a plane this big, is the ride as smooth as it appears in these videos?
Rotation speed is calculated based on airplane weight and weather conditions. In other words, the pilot flying doesn't randomly select when they will rotate. So there's no such thing as an early or late rotation unless there's pilot error. The "immediate" turn is par for the course when launching out of Julianna. There's some high terrain fairly close to the departure end that it would be wise to avoid. But that wing wasn't even close to hitting the ground.
BEST SXM takeoff video, I've ever seen, subscribed and both thumbs UP!
outbound flight to CUR?
zerberus500 Thank you - we appreciate it!
Spot on.
Imagine if Orville and Wilbur could see this, they surely would be impressed how far we came in such a short time frame! Thanks Boys...
Amazing material! I've seen a TON of vids out of sexy Sint Maarten, and this just blows me away! It's like watching a great movie! Great work!
I think it is the most powerful n fast takeoff......u can see the fast skip of trees and houses when the plane was moving.....👌👌👌
Simply breathtaking aircraft and so is the Ariel view of the sea ..747 is my personal favourite since this machine has been in service since 1960’s nd still rule the skies with the latest model having fresh engines for greater fuel economy nd greener emissions whereas on the other hand the awesome peice of engineering Airbus A380 is already looking at the end of life of production though is a mammoth in the sky ..emirates giving a recent jolt in cancelling the order of A380’s and in turn taking up A350’s
Excellent video - I don't know what the people who gave it a thumbs down want. It was top class. Never on a KLM 747 - but was on a few of 747s in years gone by TWA (1990) Aer Lingus (1992) British Airways (1998) - what a great bird.
Love Princess Juliana airport in St. Maarten. Cool being at the beach, watching the take offs and landings.
Just 20 seconds is enough for Take Off! Amazing power! :))
That plane is legendary... So sad to see them retire.
I stood on that beach and took a sandstorm from a 737 to the face. it was great.
ive got soooo many of these sort of videos from at night working beside the strip and accidentally videoing hehe. I think when the flight crew see they have a few observers they like to put on a little show of awesomeness. There really is nothing like standing next to an active runway and being blown around by the wake :)
Excellent video. It was as if you could feel the speed just watching!
Toure Malone Thank you for watching!
2:47 anyone notice the pilot waving
747 is in her full glory!
What realism is this holy cow. Best flight simulator ever
KLM is the best!!!! I always want to fly with KLM.
Boeing 747s are AMAZING i might be riding a Boeing 737 in a while
Gee, how exciting to look at beautiful aircraft engines for almost 5 minutes!!
i can't believe how brief the take-off roll was - must have been very light !!
Cool! I was on this very same flight.
Nice early take off roll!! Then again, this flight was going to Curacao before returning back to AMS. The early lift off is not surprising given it was not fully loaded with fuel and probably not a full passenger load either. Will miss seeing the beauty at STM...
The beautiful Dutch Queen. Lovely takeoff.
Take off was so smooth I didn't hear the landing gears pull off the runway. What I mean, you usually can hear the bump prior to liftoff.
a 747-400!! what a lightning quick takeoff it does!!! must fly on it real soon!!
So first he's outside,then inside,then outside,then inside again,then outside again...that in itself is amazing..
Damn... this place looks so beautiful!!!
You guys deserve a 10 for making this video so professional. It looks like the viewer experience this. Great
I love that sound...
Flew in/out of St Marteen in 2013 with my wife. I believe we were in a Delta 767 if my memory serves me right. The takeoff was interesting to say the least. Wheels up, steep climb, with a quick right turn. Would love to go back.
How did you get the outside shots - did you do it over 2 days and get lucky with the weather or have two crews ?
+Wild Boar This was done over two days. Everything you see in this video is recorded by the same person.
Thanks for watching!
747's will always be the great airplane of our time.
Must be an optical illusion but that one engine looks like it is pointed towards the ground at 1:24. Do they announce that the plane will make an immediate right turn? I am sure it would make some people nervous if they did not know in advance.
Steve Ward That is an optical illusion probably caused by the wide angle of the camera lens.
The captain did tell the passengers about the special flight path when departing St. Maarten, but we were on the plane for that very reason. However, they usually gain more altitude before turning, so the immediate right turn took us by surprise.
Thanks for watching!
Great video from all the diffent views, cool how it is all put into one video, love the sharp right turn
Man that was quick! I've never been on a plane that takes off that fast😂 impressive! Amazingly stunning beach scenery tho
İ dont like it KLM before is panama.amsterdam and İstanbul flight no like it
I think its already full power at the start.
That sure was one hell of a take off, Fantastic. Subbed & thumbs up, thanks for sharing.
Wow nice good job big KLM wow kapan saya di ajak terbang gratis
Gorgeous day! And beautiful departure! I freaking love SXM my favorite vacation spot. The video was very well put together! 👏🏼 bravo
Who would ever want to leave that place!!?????? That beach!!!!!
What a Beauty in BLue ... Love it .
What a beautiful beast these planes are
The B744 is one of the most outstanding and best performing aircraft ever! It's so sad to see them superceded. Did you notice the amazing lift on the wings? These babies were built to FLY!!
What a beautiful plane. Good camera work. This video is especially relevant since KLM does not use the 747 into St Maarten any longer.
Did you teleport in and out of the plane as it turned around.....Amazing how you managed to get back on the plane so quick....and without stairs
Esa emosion de despegar que nunca se me quita
4:21 sounds like the engines just lost power.....always gets me
Excellent photography.
Brian Eldridge v dd
That climbed high pretty fast...I like after takeoff how he managed to get a shot from the ground then back inside again..
Im very sad while im watching this video. . . these would be one of the last times we would see 747's in St.marteen
Horotzuka Don't they still come in once a day? That's one of our cruise ports coming up and possibly the highlight I'm looking to see.
I read no more 747 go there
Sad, but true mate, airlines are now working with the wide body family, as the 767-787 and i think the 777 with boeing, and with aribus the A330 and probably the A340-200/300
And maybe the (beautiful) A350 soon in St Marten too. A Qatar airlines A350 just flew over my head today. :-)
Horotzuka nah we'll be back!
Damn, look at that engine flex when they R it up!
One of the best flight in the world..
wow,,super fast take off..jus like 30 seconds!!
espectacular video que me hizo sentir que estaba dentro del avión. LOS FELICITO. IMPRESIONANTE¡¡
Is there a reduced passenger limit on the 747's at St. Maarten? Such quick takeoff's.
this is the best take off video i have ever seen....
Fantastic tske off, like a dream!!😍❤👍
I have been to this beach before, and it is CRAZY
that's literally poetry in motion very cool
Dude, you were filming in the plane then out then in then out . I mean, how did you do that, did you chase it and hopped back on?!!! Damn dude!!!
That 747 had to be almost empty to get in the air so quickly! Wish I was on that flight! Very cool.
Best combo! 747 and General Electric engines!!
Definitely queen of the sky 😘
Every time I see a Dutch K.L.M. 747 I cannot help think about March 27, 1977. Tenerife, Canary Islands. When the most experienced pilot in the K.L.M. service. Capitan Jacob Van Zanten flight 4805, took off without A.T.C clearence in the fog. Because, of the stupid K.L.M. regulations required of flight crews, he slammed into a Pan Am 747 on the ground killing 583 people. Including all of his 270 passengers. Worst airliner disaster in history.
Wow...very,very fast take off...expecially for such a big plane like 747. I love Jumbo!!! P.s.great video!
I know that it is not the same aircraft. "City of Lima" was sometimes "City of Johannesburg". Notwithstanding that, I enjoyed it very much and great footage!
Early rotation - No typical rotation for TNCM Take off. But otherwise cool video but I hate missleading video titles ;)
Quit getting all triggered my friendly little keyboard warrior. Yes, this was early rotation ~ the reason why the plane jolted on takeoff. It was intentional that the pilot wanted to get off quit and turn. (And the title isn't considered misleading just because it doesn't fit your personal criteria of what you expected.)
Lol what a bullshit talk. When it is planned it is not early rotation. It was classic take off for 747 at TNCM nothing more. Although it is beautiful take off like every take off from TNCM it was not early rotation. It is classic SID which has to be followed by every civil airliner. That it's what it is. So don't behave like this was something rare. Back to you little keyboard warrior.
There's many other 747s that were closer to the ridge because their takeoff wasy *PLANNED* to be different. Planned or not has nothing to do with early and late, considering it is based off of what the other takeoffs for the same aircraft have been like. You know you're pathetic, unoriginal, and wrong when you try to use "Keyboard warrior" against me lol like considering I said it first, all you're proving to me is your insolence. I'm not surprised you didn't bring up the part where I talked about your "misleading" bullshit. So yeah, just reply to this comment if you agree that you're wrong.
D- trolling, see me after class
gplustree Damn! We've been caught! Don't tell my mother, teacher! xD
Hats off to the pilot.
