Great memories of my early aviation days. I just kept on saying "Flew on that ... and then ... that ... etc" . Thanks for taking me down memory lane. Now I am 81 ... I went from props to Concorde ... how lucky I was.
best era ever for aviation , all this beautiful different tapes of jets , not like today's they all look the same just different size , thanks for the video excellent.
Although jet engines were a huge leap forward in technology, this video shows how primitive jet engine technology was in the 60s. Nearly all jetliners had no or low-bypass engines where now, nearly all jet airliners have high-bypass engines. Many with bypass ratios of 10:1 or more!
I had the privilege of being one of the first to fly from Paris to JFK on Air France's new 747s. I remember how astonished we were at the size and comfort of the cabin, but even better was the excellent food and service. Everyone in coach were served filet of beef; and later in the afternoon, a cold buffet was served that included caviar, pate-en-croute and all the champagne you wanted. Just. Amazing. I can even still remember the kind faces and friendliness of the cabin crew. The 747 was an amazing experience after flying the Atlantic in 707s.
There will never be another airframe as safe and reliable as the 747.. Sad knowing their time is coming to a close...I also miss the C-141 that I was a crew chief on..
World in my Eyes by Depeche Mode. This is the long disco version. Hook this video to your stereo for dancing. Dancing while watching classic jetliners.
Boeing 707, what a beautiful plane. I like the 727 the most though, for its time it was amazing and powerful. The 747-100 is in a league all its own though, its THE most gorgeous plane ever made.
Tullamarine Airport looks great ! Not much changed in the surrounding scenery even after 30 years in 2017. Made me quite nostalgic. I love this airport.
Wow!.. It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful flying once was. Fantastic Airlines, Incredible Aircraft, Phenomenal Service.. What an amazing Customer Service Experience that must have been. No wonder people got so dressed up to travel. It really did go both ways..
This is lovely. I particularly enjoyed the L-1011 shots (I miss them so much). Plus, 747s, 707s and the Super VC-10, which was a treat. Thank you for compiling this video!
Michael Morris L-1011 was way ahead of its time, the issue with the Rolls Royce engines and the MSRP caused an amazing airplane to never get the deserved purchases.
magnificent footage of Melbourne airport the greatest era in aviation.Fantastic video great music love to see more of MELBOURNE around this time.congratulations
Great compilation and very clever choice of music. 80s Depeche is so perfectly matched to the era depicted.. I travelled on that featured SAS 747-Combi LAX-CPH while listening to New Wave music..
Fantastic video. It's so much more crisp than most I have seen from the era, so I don't mind the HD terminology at all. I had never heard that Depeche Mode song but it's awesome. Really great work and so rare these days. Thanks for it.
Look how clean and beautiful the Worldport looks with all of those gorgeous 747-121's! After college I got addicted to traveling and went everywhere i could. I figured out a way to travel on Pan Am in business class for free by taking advantage of some holes in their frequent Flyer program. I wintered in Rio and summered in Europe. It was a blast! And oh yeah, I flew Concorde. This made me cry with happiness.
wonderful pictures!!................it was the great era of jetliners!!!!!!!!!! dc 8. b 727.l 1011......and others ...such a goods souvenirs...........
Thanks Lyubomir.....great visuals, great music, great nostalgia, I worked for Ansett back in the day and loved every second of being on the ramp. As a plane loving teenager being up close & personal with a DC9, DC10, 727, F28, 747 and 747 SP, ATR 42 and truly the weirdest plane I had ever encountered at the time an Argossy Freighter was a dream job
I've always thought the Boeing 707 was a sharp looking aircraft. They have a reserve Air National Guard Refueling squadron at our airport KC-135's. I love watching them take off and land. Very cool aircraft!
Great video. I had the pleasure of flying on a few of the Airlines and aircraft depicted in the video back in the 60s and 70s. I have also had the pleasure of flying some of the aircraft depicted in the video since I began my flying career back in the 80s. Great memories.
Some of these aircraft were far noisier on takeoff than ANY of today's aircraft. So for those of you that still complain about airplane noise, I have a suggestion: LET'S BRING THE 727s, THE BAC 1-11s, 707s, VC-10s, THE DC-8s, AND THE CONCORDES OUT OF THE MUSEUMS AND RESTORE THEM BACK INTO FULL OPERATIONAL CONDITION. You just don't know how lucky you are.
Amazing footage. Ansett and chance it plus Try Another Airline! Takes me back. Also interesting to see Concorde prototype and VC10 at Tullamarine (I think?)
I can’t believe the Eastern Airline 747 was part of this. That’s a true gem because they leased it from Pan-Am for a very short period and yet it’s on this video.
My favourite aircraft of the 1970's were.. Boeing 707.. 727.. 747.. McDonald DC-10.. MD-11.. Vickers VC-10.. Hawker Siddley Trident.. Lockheed L-1011 Tristar.. and the Concorde.
Francisco,thank you very very much!! You create an so beautyfull and becaus of the Music so magic Video!! I could felt my child Memorys so much intensiv!!
Great video...music fits it nicely...the Delta Air Lines 747 has always been the most beautiful of any airline's (video has a brief image of it)....would love to have seen some DC-10's, L-1011 TriStars....and, of course, those most famous propliners still working into the '60's and early '70's. Thanks for posting!
I would have done the same. Sadly I've never even seen a VC 10 but I read somewhere that the feeling at takeoff was different, what with 4 rear-mounted engines.
Great memories of my early aviation days. I just kept on saying "Flew on that ... and then ... that ... etc" . Thanks for taking me down memory lane. Now I am 81 ... I went from props to Concorde ... how lucky I was.
Liveries from this era were much more beautiful than today's. I love polished metal undersides and engine nacelles.
Good old times 🙂
best era ever for aviation , all this beautiful different tapes of jets , not like today's they all look the same just different size , thanks for the video excellent.
Brilliant film - love these old birds. Those were the days. Proper planes 4 engines, tri Jets.. even the original Concorde...the lot.. Superb
Love this video, watch it over and over
Wow I wish I lived through these years, AWESOME!

777?
you are genius Mr. Lyubomir Ganchev
la mejor compilación que he visto! y la música... Dios!!!

I love the passengers walking away from the Lufthansa 707 at LAX, seemingly to the beat of the soundtrack.
Tullamarine Airport looks great ! Not much changed in the surrounding scenery even after 30 years in 2017. Made me quite nostalgic. I love this airport.
Wish I was old enough to remember these great times!
Wow!.. It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful flying once was. Fantastic Airlines, Incredible Aircraft, Phenomenal Service.. What an amazing Customer Service Experience that must have been. No wonder people got so dressed up to travel. It really did go both ways..
Ok so personally I'd way much rather hear the jet engines roar.
Thank you. Fantastic movie! Great to see.
Brings back many memories when I was a young lad......
Best, best, best aviation music video ever!
Love that old 747 with Delta air lines. My very first flight was with Delta. Memory for life...
Iconic Pan Am... Legendary Pan Am... Missed Pan Am...
This is lovely. I particularly enjoyed the L-1011 shots (I miss them so much). Plus, 747s, 707s and the Super VC-10, which was a treat.
Thank you for compiling this video!

I find this very peaceful
Very Good Video....I just loved it..and I worked for American in the 1970's...So Cool...Thank you so much
cool seeing those old Australian airlines
magnificent footage of Melbourne airport the greatest era in aviation.Fantastic video great music love to see more of MELBOURNE around this time.congratulations
Oh to be a business traveler back then on all of those wonderful and uniquely different aircrafts. Would have been amazing
My vote goes to the Untied DC-8-50 landing -- the most gorgeous plane ever. Also love the Convair 990.
Great compilation and very clever choice of music. 80s Depeche is so perfectly matched to the era depicted.. I travelled on that featured SAS 747-Combi LAX-CPH while listening to New Wave music..
Great montage. Good footage of early days at Tullamarine. Ansett. TAA. QANTAS 707 and 747 too.
70's video with an 80's soundtrack! Love this!
Fantastic video. It's so much more crisp than most I have seen from the era, so I don't mind the HD terminology at all. I had never heard that Depeche Mode song but it's awesome. Really great work and so rare these days. Thanks for it.
2:28 - 3:25 Amazing (and almost haunting) shots of those beautiful 747s creeping through the fog lol
Reminds me of the Tenerife crash, it was also a foggy day.
Look how clean and beautiful the Worldport looks with all of those gorgeous 747-121's! After college I got addicted to traveling and went everywhere i could. I figured out a way to travel on Pan Am in business class for free by taking advantage of some holes in their frequent Flyer program. I wintered in Rio and summered in Europe. It was a blast!

fantastic gratuitous shots ! great compilation
Some of the best airliner porn out there!
10 out of 10
LOL. So true! Excellent film, and I love the soundtrack.
Luc Gaudreault
agreed!
wonderful pictures!!................it was the great era of jetliners!!!!!!!!!! dc 8. b 727.l 1011......and others ...such a goods souvenirs...........
Great video...such high quality for that era. Flew on most of those planes and airlines way back then.....
Fantastic clip! So many memories..
Great Memories with some of the greatest airlines, Thank you!!!
love all of the Pan Am jets, also love your choice of the Depeche Mode soundtrack :)
Before running out of business, Ansett livery was very gorgeous ! I saw one of them at Brussels airport late in the 90's...
Love the TAA and Ansett planes around a new Melbourne Airport
Thanks Lyubomir.....great visuals, great music, great nostalgia, I worked for Ansett back in the day and loved every second of being on the ramp. As a plane loving teenager being up close & personal with a DC9, DC10, 727, F28, 747 and 747 SP, ATR 42 and truly the weirdest plane I had ever encountered at the time an Argossy Freighter was a dream job
Brilliant footage and music.
perfect sound track
I've always thought the Boeing 707 was a sharp looking aircraft. They have a reserve Air National Guard Refueling squadron at our airport KC-135's. I love watching them take off and land. Very cool aircraft!
Not a single winglet or scimitar. Love it!
What do you have against winglets? Lol.
dan kuettel But I love winglets!
This is one terrific piece of work. Great!
The music was oddly brilliant
The 747 and L-1011 are the best classic planes
I'm really digging on these jams...kick asss
What a bunch of nice Legacy Carriers 747's great footage
It was mad if u had a job in the airlines u got everywere got where u wanted to go on a smile
9:25 VH-EBC was the first aircraft I ever flew on. March 1972, from Sydney to Singapore. She was a brand new aircraft back then.
@Joseph Stalin. So sad. So true :(
Magnificent track & vid!
love what you did here
That Peter North is amazing! LOL
Awesome video! Well coordinated.
Great video. I had the pleasure of flying on a few of the Airlines and aircraft depicted in the video back in the 60s and 70s. I have also had the pleasure of flying some of the aircraft depicted in the video since I began my flying career back in the 80s. Great memories.

You just don't know how lucky you are.
That was great !
I'm only 12 and I bet my papa remembers these planes
The 747 and L-1011 are the best
Thanks good video. Airplanes look very elegants
And people too
Fantastic video. I enjoyed the music too.
Wow. Thank you!
This is such a cool video. Brought back so many memories of the carriers I used to fly with as a kid.
Great footage! Thanks!
James bond scene is the best
Video and soundtrack are epic. Love this.
That was so awesome.
Wow,wow,wow, what awesome footage- thanks Francisco :-)
The 747 remains the most wonderful of all the aeroplanes.
Amazing footage. Ansett and chance it plus Try Another Airline! Takes me back. Also interesting to see Concorde prototype and VC10 at Tullamarine (I think?)
The 747 engines @ 4:35~ are real vintage, rare but good VID and thanks, from Japan (kind of late to find though).
Well I am the one who made this compilation! :) Glad You like it!
Thanks for your work Lyubomir. I will add your name to the video description
Thank you so much, Lyubomir. I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am. I'll be reminiscing for weeks.
really really thank you and many congratulations, excellent job, hope to see other footages from you
Thank you very much for this one. :)
VH-RMS = Ansett Australia Boeing 727 - 100 QC, my old airline. Great Vid !
I am really not a fan of music to aviation videos but boy you made me change my mind. The pace of the music fits perfectly with video.
Couldn't agree more.... normally I hate the music, but this was really good!
Great video
Alte Jetliner sind cool
I think Sean wanted to follow Jill. 😄
These classic 747 planes👌
Bom trabalho merece um like 👍
I can’t believe the Eastern Airline 747 was part of this. That’s a true gem because they leased it from Pan-Am for a very short period and yet it’s on this video.
Better with ATC recordings or jet sounds, js! Still great! Btw, @ 2:38 no takeoff lights in fog???
I like the video (and the soundtrack!) Although I miss some of the planes on that period, like the DC-10, for example. In general, I like it.
At about 3:38 is a very rare bird. Eastern 747 touching down. I believe those were leased from Pan Am. Great video.
To be honest, first time I noticed! Thanks for your coment!
Francisco Cunha You're welcome. I've been trying to identify any that I can.
Would give this TEN thumbs up if I could! Great work and thank you! :-D
My favourite aircraft of the 1970's were.. Boeing 707.. 727.. 747.. McDonald DC-10.. MD-11.. Vickers VC-10..
Hawker Siddley Trident.. Lockheed L-1011 Tristar.. and the Concorde.
Francisco,thank you very very much!! You create an so beautyfull and becaus of the Music so magic Video!! I could felt my child Memorys so much intensiv!!
Tremendo video te mandaste. Te la comiste demonio. Eres un crack.
Great video...music fits it nicely...the Delta Air Lines 747 has always been the most beautiful of any airline's (video has a brief image of it)....would love to have seen some DC-10's, L-1011 TriStars....and, of course, those most famous propliners still working into the '60's and early '70's. Thanks for posting!
There's a Tristar
Well the Lockheed L-1011 is fer sure pretty bitchin. I like the way she sits on the tarmac.
I got Rome -London by Ghana Airline only to fly one of the last VC-10 ....
I would have done the same. Sadly I've never even seen a VC 10 but I read somewhere that the feeling at takeoff was different, what with 4 rear-mounted engines.
Esos eran verdaderos capitanes,nada de computadora, pulsó y tripa.
hehe love the clip at 0:54 with James Bond/Sean Connery being accosted by what looks like police...
lvsluggo007 it's from the movie "Diamonds are Forever". Came out in 1971.
At 7:11 that DC9 is still active technically just not registered. The other two next to it are in plane heaven(scrapped).
great video
