I'm the son of a pilot as well and have flown on many different aircraft. My Dad flew the 737-200's. I've flown on the 741 and 2 along with the 400. There is NO aircraft that will ever match the lore and style that is the Queen. Thank you so much Big Jet for covering this story and the history of it.Making it come alive for those so far from there.
What a wonderfully entertaining show. Special thanks to Zane, Jason and VA for allowing Jerry access. there's a wicked sense of humour in Zane isn't there.:)
Captain Zane is so nice. I could listen to him talk about the Queen of the Sky all day. And it’s wonderful he got the honour to pilot the very last two Virgin 747’s to their final destination
Want a fantastic informative film there Jerry you delivered for us today. You did not require to be an expert either as your guides for the day explained absolutely everything so clearly. What I was amazed at was the number of safety features incorporated on the A350 jet but also in the huge jet engines on display. Your guide Jason Wright, explained in layman's language all the technical side of what goes on in the Virgin Jet maintenance hangar so well done to Jason. Thanks, Jerry, your show delivers a big jet experience for everyone at Londons Heathrow airport which is simply second to none mate!
I really enjoyed the show. The memories tape was amazing. It was fun to meet Captain Zane Dunning and other staff that keep these babies running safely. I learned a ton. Thank you Jerry and Gilly 👍🇨🇦 Just noticed my 3rd stripe! How cool is that!
I've been around alot of aircraft mainly military like transports (C5, C17's) at airshows and what not and always impressed by their size, but that 350 is huge. Not that a 747 isn't big, flew on a 74 back in the mid 70's. Just impressed by the glass cockpit of that Airbus. Awesome job as usual Jerry and Gilly. Thanks...
Thank you for this very EMOTIONAL video for this GREAT airplane that i like so much. Boeing 747 no other airplane like this! THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES..... FOREVER ‼️ 👑 BOEING 747👑
Sadly......... I never got to fly on one which has broken my heart. Thanks to Captain Zane ( typical cool pilot's name) for a great interview and look inside the Queen and a walk round with Jason of the new Queen elect... the truly stunning Airbus A350..👍👍
Brilliant video, the Queen is a legend like none other. The A350 is impressive no doubt also. That Captain is such a nice dude, he will be transferring to A350? Would be nice to interview him after he's had a year flying it to see what he thinks!
Ahh I was due to fly in the premium economy upstairs on one of these back from Orlando in April this year. We never got the chance, and I don't think I ever will again 😫
Four engine aircraft are too expensive to operate and also the new gen twin jets can do the same job better and more economically plus the. Urgent economic situation in the world is not helping either.
Nobody ever mentioned the crash or accident statistic of the 744. I saw the very first example in April 1989 in Los Angeles from Air China. Since today ( January 2022 ) it's travelling around the globe ( Lufthansa ). That means in 33 years of service there was only one fatal accident in 2000 in Taipeh when a Singapore Airlines 744 crashed on the runway into construction vehicles. One more incident was in the 90's in Hong Kong Kai Tak when an Air China dumped with it's nose into the harbour area with no dead folks among the passengers. If that is not sensationell i dont know.....
We're going to Premiere an edit of the earlier live stream Aviation Gamer, so everyone who wasn't able to watch live and chat with us, can watch and chat. Hope to see you there!
Still feel that anything else than the Boeing 747 along with the Airbus A340 & A380 for long haul flights over the Atlantic and Pacific is bit worrisome. New aircraft feel like they're fake.
It's absolutely amazing how accommodating Virgin Atlantic and Captain Zane Dunning were to you for you to be able to show us this great stufff

Fantastic insight into the preparation of a plane for service , thanks Jerry and team.
Absolutely fantastic hour of watching : great work bigjetTV 🛫🛬✈️
I’m very happy that I took a ride in their 747-400 from JFK-LHR
Loved it awesome! Thanks for sharing guys
Really enjoyed that. Nice of Cpt Dunning to provide that insight. Well done Jerry 👏
Going to miss this beautiful craft and that lovely Cape Town > London flight.
Top notch Jerry. Although I've flown quite a bit, I'd never thought about the gubbins beneath a passenger seat.
The wing waves 😭😭😭😭 thank you Jerry & Gilly

Great vid man! (loved the tennis balls - will use this technique on exposed steel rods and electrical cables when I build my new house)
VERY THOROUGH AND INTERESTING - WELL DONE! BUT IM GONNA MISS THE 747, LIKE MOST THINGS IN THIS WORLD... THEY ALL HAVE THEIR TIME.
Thank you for this very EMOTIONAL video for this GREAT airplane that i like so much. Boeing 747 no other airplane like this! THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES..... FOREVER ‼️ 👑 BOEING 747👑
This was brilliant. Thank you for this.

Fantastic tributes. I hope she waves as departing Heathrow this Thursday, that gets hold for some reason. 🙏🙏🙏
Queen of the skies sadly missed ♥️
Wonderful video this, thank you. 👍
Great detail and content ....

So cool! I love the technical bits!
Great video as always ... didn’t realise Michael McIntyre was a virgin captain 😂😂
Ahh I was due to fly in the premium economy upstairs on one of these back from Orlando in April this year. We never got the chance, and I don't think I ever will again 😫
An amazing show
How interesting that they were meant to be Alitalia planes.
was the virgin 747-400 was plan to deliver to italia airways but they scrap the deal?
Recommend read "747" written by Joe Sutter who was the Chief Engineer for 747 development program.
Big Jet TV the legend
Like it, or else. 😁
Aztec01 hehe
Amazing.
And lastly, if anyone's interested there's a great documentary about the design and build process of the A350 the Welt Documentary channel.....
Hey, ZG.....where’s your guitar? 😂 Don’t go changing.....catch you on the flip xxxxx
Why are they all being retired? Are they making new updates or is it due to the worldwide situation??

The focus on the camera look the way off other than that I enjoyed it
