Oh that airplane is MASSIVE!!!

they can powerback, but it's not permitted at most airports.

they sound different, the fans look different, and it says RR on the side of the engine too?!

The biggest can not only push more than a million lbs, but have the BRAKES to stop that kind of load as well!

The man and the machine.

Just a couple of questions since I have no idea about the subject.....What is the actual name for this job? Apart from pushing back the airplane, are there any other responsibilities? and, who actually hires these guys? The airline or is an independent body belonging tot he airport? Thanks a lot! :)

Just how powerful are push back trucks?

The Airplane business is definitely socio- eco-political...so many variables(behind closed doors)...You are definitely right there. I did not say the RR was worse...but the GE is the monster to have, thrust outpust,frugality, and durability/reliability. At least GE aint giving it to the A350...777 has exclusivtity to it.

While that used to be true, it isn't anymore. 1: BA 777-300s and several 777-200s have GE engines on them, and if the RR was so much worse airlines like American would not be using them.

IT's a British thing...even though the GE is a much better engine....British Government requires its own home made engines....that it still being a Bad ass 777. If the US government told US carriers what engines to put on our planes...we'd protest at the White House or in front of the Capital.

So, BA uses Qantas ground crew and other personnel?

You dumbass! Those are RR engines!!!

cool!

@oktal3700 its a headset

Awesome video! Check out my page. I have similar videos of me pushing planes, towing and marshalling here in Ottawa (YOW). I may be wrong, but it looks like it is a 757 in this video though...

March/ April next year me and my dad celebrate our 70th, and 30th birthdays within a month of each other, and I would love to take myself and him out there to see our family, I currently would like to stop via Singapore, as I have never been on a 777 before does anyone know what they are like.

I have just thought of the most amazing idea this evening, I live in Surrey UK, about 3 miles away from Gatwick Airport, and about just under 40 miles away from London Heathrow Airport, my dads uncle died on Friday, all his family live out in the Blue Mountain area of Australia, none of my immediate family have ever been to Australia until last December when my sister went to Perth for just over 3 weeks with her boyfriend as his sister and her family live out there, what I am thinking is next M

But will it blend?

great view, im also a push back driver, and these are beautiful machines to push out!

@Silverwarhawk its RR Trent! not GE

Is that from the push out truck?

@Silverwarhawk That's a Rolls Royce Trent 800.

Realy nice view ! Cool video !

777's - beautiful aircraft!

@Silverwarhawk this plane is powered by RR

omg,you work at the airport? because to take videos of aircraft as close ... or you had special access? if so, how?

WONDERFULLL!!!!

@Silverwarhawk Those are Rolls-Royce Trent engines. You can even see the classic "RR" logo on the engines.

@mubaseball2821 SCIENCE!

@mubaseball2821 you should check the antonov an225

@yyzspotting yea

Man, that plane is ugly.

@bencaldwell08 Look up boundary layer, and other drag components. It'll make good sense.

@mubaseball2821 Amazing? Engineering wise? Yes. Physically? Not so. If a 10 pound rc plane can fly, why can't a A380? Same principle.

at .56 was that a Qantas a380?

@1722240 why not a mechanic?

@Lobta i live on a tiny island in the caribbean and this is the largest visitor to my island lol

i use to be a tuggie at gatwick best job ever from 2000-5 it was a job that i never got bored with looks better in oz than dull gatwick.the only difference that i see on the push was the wing man took the steering by pass pin out not the head set man .nice push

@nwa582 Find the right company and get payed good, and FYI bags way like 70+ pounds in my experiences.

@nwa582 i don't and my orthopedist will love me...

@quazimutato Nope, I'm with you on that.

once i flew on a B777-200ER for a one hour trip from florida to Georgia because the 767 got overbooked and i was soo happy

dude, u got the best job ever!!!

@Silverwarhawk Those are Trent RR 880. Not GE90

@EinzelstueckMuc then why does it has painted on the side by the company "AIRBUS A380"... guess the only idiot here would be ... u know the answer...YOU!

i have been on a 777 from cananda air canada Vancouver to hong kong

@Silverwarhawk i think the engines on this 777 are Rolls Royce, cause at about 24 sec you can see the Rolls Royce logo.

You made an mistake. Its better to stay in the circle of the rod. In this case you have to stay on the left site. Because if the rod breaks, you not get injured from around flying pieces of metal. The metal will be fly to the right site when the plane will be pushed to the left site

are those Trent 800s? they don't sound like the GE-90s...
