@@v1spotter how is it unfortunate that you have only flew on 2? That’s a blessing right there, Me though I have never flew on a 747 which is the unfortunate part!
@@Adriansdr07 very true. I think the A380s will stick around for longer than the 747. There are still a number of them around, unlike the commercial 747 which is fairly rare now a days
Very true. Was quite surprised about how quiet they sounded. Would be cool if they were a bit louder, but I think most passengers appreciated the quieter engines
@@RedLP5000S I’ve heard a 747-8 like the one in this video flying at cruising altitude and it was significantly quieter than a 747-400. As for the Max 8, it sounds like a hairdryer when taking off. 🤣
@@Major_Tom98 the GEnx engines are definitely more quiet than the CF6. As for the MAX, In my opinion, the engines definitely sound higher pitched but are also quiet during flight
I have flown the 747-400 a couple of times with KLM and maybe even the Combi variant. But I remember the 747-400 from KLM just being great. I used to play tetris with my father every time we got in an KLM 747-400 with those old remote controlers.
The 747-400 combi is actually the only other 747 I have ever been on (apart from the one in this video). It was a Asiana 747-400 combi I took from NRT to ICN
I don’t recall there being too many clouds in this particular day - weather was very nice, but it would have been cool if it was overcast because I could have watched the plane cut through the layer of clouds then
Thanks Dave! I have also been on the -400 models but have never flown in a classic series. Would also like to fly in the nose but give how rare the passenger 747s are becoming, it is unlikely
@@v1spotter Here's something really bizarre. I flew on a TWA 747-131, the same one that eventually became TWA 800 ruclips.net/video/PAvNdmYNjiQ/видео.html
@@v1spotter originated and ended from my home base airport of PHL. I can't remember the planes that took us back and forth from SFO and ORD. Some sort of narrow body Airbus or Boeing.
@@v1spotter And it was actually fantastic service back then. Free drinks in economy all you wanted. Lots of meals, a choice between Asian and American. The attendants were fantastic. It was a very pleasant trip even though I was crammed in coach for 23 hours 😂
Beautiful.. I worked a crash in 1993 IAD to CMH. Signed the baggage slip. Had the NTSB knocking on my door at 2am. Interesting time that most will never experience. Once sat on a runway expecting plane to crash (gear wouldn’t retract). Foam everywhere… plane (J31) landed safely. The above crash was a J41. Tail number 304… rip 🪦
I also love the visual of the little regionals in front of the big United plane on the taxiway. I would suspect that the front regional is a CRJ due to the engines being aft (maybe a 700-900?), but I could be wrong. The even smaller one behind it might be a smaller regional (it appears smaller than even a CRJ-200) or private/contract commuter? It's not clear enough to count the number of windows on the big United plane at the back of the line, but B737/A320 would be my guess.
Yeah it’s always cool to see the line up of planes awaiting departure. The first is a CRJ-700 (as you mentioned), the second is a challenger 605/605 (I think), and the third is a 777-200
@@v1spotter wow, I was way off on the size of the last plane! I can usually spot CRJ's by the aft engines (which makes them nice and quiet unless you're in the way back). Apparently my plane identification game could use some work for the big birds!
Nice video. I was this year with LH's -8 in SFO. Interesting, that it seems as engine 3 and 4 rotate in different direction. Seems they are not on the same RPM to have this visual effect.
I was initially curious about this as well. Some GEnx engine spinner cones don’t have the spiral on them for whatever reason, maybe weight savings? I saw the same thing with a few of the Dreamliners as well - however I believe most GEnx equipped aircraft have the spiral painted on the engine spinner now a days. The ones in this video are also tan as opposed to black, I assume due to the fact that the paint has worn off a bit.
This seems like a difference in vernacular. In the US, generally anything after 5 PM is "evening." "Afternoon" is noon to 5 PM. It's not about the daylight but the clock time. If dark was the difference between evening and afternoon, evening would start before 5 PM in December and at almost 9 PM in June, where this was filmed (I don't live far away).

Definitely!
Wow, what a treat this is! Flying just won't be the same without the 747.
Would definitely have to agree! It's too bad they will no longer be produced. Unfortunately I only got to fly on two (this being the second)
Same with the a380, soon they will all be gone and we would never see anything like it ever again!

Thanks! Yeah a very smooth takeoff for sure!
The 747 is no race car. :-) Slow take offs are standard feature. :-)
Me too🤣
That is why they call her "The Queen of the Skies"!
Probably best Lufthansa takeoff lol
Man top tier aircraft taking off from a mediocre airport. Thanks for sharing
I take it that you’ve flown through IAD before?
Best wing view ever on B747-8i.
Thanks! Glad u like it!
@@v1spotter you're welcome 😁
I probably should have sat a few rows back to be closer to the engines but those seats were taken.
@@v1spotter there's no need to move back,this is the best one,I love to see the fan blades spinning.
Never flown on a 747 before but that was one long takeoff
I would certainly agree with that - hope you get to fly on one at some point!
Nunca vi tão grande belo
@@liriasilva4454 Obrigado!
Dulles has nice long runways and is situated on generally flat, unobstructed land. Makes for some nice takeoffs on 747, 777, and 787's!
@@toda2638 Lots of Dreamliners there for sure now!
Wow only about 60 seconds from starting the takeoff to lift off. 💪
Decent power for a big jet!
Oh yeah that's the sound we love!!
Sure do! These engines are pretty quiet
Best flight Lufthansa Boeing 747
Awesome. One of the best takeoff videos I have seen. Weather, shooting angle, and video quality are all perfect. Takeoff is as smooth as silk.
Appreciate it!
I actually live 20 minutes from dulles and never noticed that beautiful scenery before. Awesome video!
Thanks! Definitely lots of nice greenery & planespotting areas
Fantastic sound and video, wow!
Thank you!
Absolutely lovely, I am amazed with these turbines. The views are beautiful. Nicely captured 👌 bravo

Super smooth power acceleration.
Yeah - Im remember this times when Lufthansa was flying. Actual Lufthansa is more on ground than in air.
Delays huh?
Cool video. This was filmed at least 5 years ago, maybe longer, but still great footage.
Yeah - I started this channel relatively recently and have a bunch of videos that I’d like to upload
Still the prettiest, most graceful aircraft in the skies!
Definitely a beautiful bird!
Lufthansa has to be one of my favorite planes. Its also one of the more graceful aircraft on takeoff and landings
lufthansa is an airline brand, not a plane manufacturer.
I never get tired of watching this. 👍👍😃😃
Thanks! Glad u enjoyed it
what a view!
Awesome view queen of sky leaving
