747 videos

Last month the industry was buzzing over the anticipation of our first 747-400 in Delta colors, so first our pilot unveiled the livery, then we shared the very first picture of take off and pictures of the first landing in Tokyo. What more could you ask for? How about a time-lapse video of how it all began Enjoy.

This has a dramatic looking turn to final over Kowloon City.

This is an unedited view of a Boeing 747 landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) near dusk. In regards to the zooming comments, I only zoomed to the cockpit window, a mere 5 feet from the jumpseat. It is framed top and bottom in the shot. If you have seen my takeoff video, you know you can barely see anything outside if you do not. Anyway, the landing speed is well over 120 knots.

This is my first Kai Tak experience, my first landings. This shows you the wonderful Kai Tak scenery from Fly Tampa. They did an awesome work.

Landing St.Maarten from cockpit 747. After nosewheel landing camera touched windshield causing crackling noise. For those viewers who made comments (or new viewers who are thinking about making the comment) that this approach is too high and/or too fast or whatever else you might think, here some free ;) flying lessons from someone who's flying B747's for 20 years: On an approach on instruments a B747 should cross the runway threshold (= the piano keys) with the main wheels at ± 35 ft above ...

This was the first 747 passenger flight from Bournemouth Airport, UK, destination New York. Bournemouth has a short runway so this was an incredibly dramatic take off for the 747. Listen for a guy in the background saying "its not gunna make it!" and "Jesus christ!"

TakeOff from St. Maarten as seen from cockpit 747. To answer some remarks from viewers: Why is T/O so fast and short? Well aircraft weighs only 260.000 kgs (max = 396.000kgs) in this T/O with only 30.000 kgs of fuel for a flight time of 1hr15min to Curacao (you can see the landing here: www.youtube.com ). With this low weight Vr is 125kts and climbout speed is 155kts(=V2 + 10kts) Why is V1 and Vr called so close? Because, when a/c is very light you have to increase V1 to the Vmcg(=Vmin ...
