Most of us can only dream of seeing the Northern Lights. Sam here saw them during a full moon and through the cockpit windows of a brand new Boeing 777.
As a kid I was able to take a tour of the factory there at Boeing field. It was an amazing experience, one more than 20 years later is a highlight of my childhood.
Boeing is a company like no other. They care about their customers and people. They treat everyone like family and wants the best for everyone. People make mistakes but that’s what defines us as humans and Boeing and it’s people are always learning and trying to improve. That’s what’s makes Boeing unique.
Sam, that was the best of the best!! Great explanations from the crew (all of them) with accompanying visuals at the assembly factory. Excellent job of explaining RVSM to the non-aviation viewers. I have done several RVSM certification flights in the USA in jets and turboprops. very accurate explanation of ETOPS to the aviation enthusiast. Some aviation personnel jokingly say it means, "Engines Turn or People Swim." The airplane will be a great asset to Silkway and their business model. Thank you for bringing this delivery flight to our attention.
Judging from what the engineer said, this 777 was ordered and delivered only a year or so after ordering, that's rapid! Some cars take longer to build! (due to waiting lists of course; I know that)
Ah thanks Sam! Is this because there isn't a waiting list for new 777f or can an airline pay extra to get a plane put straight into production@@SamChui? I don't expect Sam to answer but does anybody else know if Sam doesn't reply?
@@n1msuAirlines have been known to trade production slots. In addition, slots become open because an airline might want to delay its delivery for many reasons. Like cashflow. Finally, the speed of production can change by the manufacturer increasing shifts, workers, etc. it’s a dance to make it all match up and get maximum efficiency and profit.
Sam, I always love your videos! I really appreciate the copilot checking on paper his measurements rather than solely on his iPad. Co- pilot needs to be commended for hi level of safety & proficiency.
Excellent video! Could not script that flight and the special experiences any better. Such a privilege to be one of the very few that can go along for the ride. Thank you for taking us along with you Sam! Bravo!!!!!
Best aviation channel / content hands down. Thank you Sam for another amazing video! You never let us down … everything you create is truly interesting, well done, positive, and educational. And what a treat with the northern lights on this flight! Thank you for sharing this experience!
Really enjoyed this video because a lot of the Boeing airplanes start here in the air capital, Wichita. Our Boeing builds a lot of the fuelslages then they get sent often by train northwest to Seattle for completion. We also have spirit, Cessna, beechcraft. And another one that has slip my mind. The presidents planes come her to be serviced. The Harrison Ford flies here routinely to get his plane serviced. The big treat which I think you would really like is our diamond here in Wichita and that is DOC a B 29 bomber from ww2 fully restored. The bonus is you can take her up for a ride. Pretty amazing huh. If you ever make it here would love to meet you and say hello.
Just like the Boeing 747, the Boeing 777 is also one of my favorite aircraft and a beautiful aircraft in my opinion. I remember spotting a Boeing 777 takeoff from Jakarta and my god it was awesome. I think the Boeing 777 is not just one of the most automated commercial aircraft in the world, but also the biggest twin engine aircraft ever made and has a perfect safety record.
Sam, I think this is one of my favorite behind the scene vlogs you have provided. I remember working on the 777 back in the early 90's on the design build teams. Great to see how this model has evolved over the years to meet the customers demands.
Thank you, another great video Sam... Another Sam special, what a remarkable aircraft... I always look forward to seeing these videos and can't wait for the next one... Roger.... Pembrokeshire UK
Incredible video,its amazing what these talented people do,creating ,maintaining and operating these amazing aircraft.Its humbling to see what happens behind the scenes because usually we only see the finished product,which we do take for granted I hate to say.Thank you Sam for the work that you do and all the dedicated people involved in the cargo industry which makes all of our lives better!
I went to the Boeing factory and did the visitors tour, way back in 1989 and saw the 1st 747 400 being rolled out of the paint shop. The whole site is huge. Was a fantastic day.
Wow, this is such a fascinating experience, Sam! 🛫 I really enjoyed following you on this unique journey aboard the brand new Boeing 777 Freighter of Silk Way West Airlines. It's incredible to see the inner workings of such a massive cargo plane, and the details you provided throughout the flight were truly informative. The views of the full moon and the northern lights were breathtaking! ✨ It's also amazing to learn about the preparations and approvals required for a flight like this. Your content is always so engaging and educational. Keep up the great work, Sam! I can't wait to see more exciting aviation adventures on your channel. 👏
I was right there at the end of 34L standing on a ladder shooting the delivery, I was hoping to see myself in the video, departure pictures are posted on Flickr!
10:34 the funniest part of the video! As a pilot who flew a lot the 777 I can affirm: THIS IS THE BEST JET IN THE WORLD in the same way BRAZILIAN BBQ IS THE BEST BBQ IN THE WORLD!
As we often visit the SEA area, and the images of the Brazilian Barbq looked awesome, could the name of the particular restaurant be mentioned? Also, this video is great. 🙂
It's all part of creating a good relationship with the customer. This is Silkway's first ever 777F so Boeing probably wanted to do a little extra to incentivize them to purchase more Aircraft
I understand the economic advantage of 2 engines vs. 4, and the 777 is a fine-looking aircraft, but it will never match the beauty and majesty of the Queen Of The Skies....

Extremely lucky, also just my 2nd time seeing the Northern light!
I saw them on a flight in a Royal air force, Nimrod up near Norway in 1979.I wasn't flying I was a passenger on a free flight ✈️
As a kid I was able to take a tour of the factory there at Boeing field. It was an amazing experience, one more than 20 years later is a highlight of my childhood.
What a privilege to watch the inaugural flight of an engineering marvel. Always amazed at aviation and how lucky we are to have it.
It was amazing seeing that line of 777X's at the start. Can't wait to see them flying in a few years time!
Yes indeed! In fact there are no more passenger 777 classic model being built anymore...
Boeing is a company like no other. They care about their customers and people. They treat everyone like family and wants the best for everyone.
People make mistakes but that’s what defines us as humans and Boeing and it’s people are always learning and trying to improve.

Great video as always, Sam. Love the 777 and all of its variants, can't wait to see those 777X's certified, delivered and flying in the future.
Judging from what the engineer said, this 777 was ordered and delivered only a year or so after ordering, that's rapid! Some cars take longer to build! (due to waiting lists of course; I know that)
Boeing is selling production slot on their airplane, so customer airlines buy a slot, then configure before Boeing start building it.

Love Boeing always. Thanks Sam for providing us with such an informational update on Boeing and their progress to recover.
Thanks Sam. This one was crammed with special moments, tech and incredible Silk Way & Boeing staff.
Being a pilot and seeing the northern lights is such a dream. 😀
Thank you Sam, as a resident of the area. I love how you captured your time here. Thank you!!
Excellent video! Could not script that flight and the special experiences any better. Such a privilege to be one of the very few that can go along for the ride. Thank you for taking us along with you Sam! Bravo!!!!!

agreed ^
Thank you, I really appreciate this.
Great video sam. Its so nice to finally see how my favorite plane in the world is delivered!
Great video Sam. Envy you for a flight like this. No passengers, just a small crew. Looks like the 777 will take over from the 747 for freighters.
The Ge90 engines are truly amazing!
6:34 yeah the GE-90-155B is a exelent engine for the 777F, 777-200LR & 777-300ER.
@@flyingfoxaviation6398 The GE9X that the 777x will have is just 🥶
Fabulous video. The 777 is a truly iconic aircraft. I was at the Paris airshow for the launch of the -300 way back in 1995.
Awesome vlog sam with 10/10 score.
Thank you Sam for taking us along,it was extremely enjoyable to watch 😍

Yep, agree. 777 is such a workhorse and deserves huge credit.
Very amazing Silkway 777 Freighter, first time seeing a Silkway 777F and the Pilots looks like those that Flew on the Silkway 747-8Fs flying the 777F.
Yes indeed, SIlkway is training 747 pilots onto the 5 B777F they ordered.

The 777 is a bit of an unsung hero, that rarely gets the attention it deserves.
100% agree 2nd best aircraft Boeings ever built

What a beautiful machine
Great video Sam!
Nice work. Enjoyed watching.
so nice sam to be on cargo planes also , other than only on passengers airplanes , for breaking down routines , very nice video
What’s interesting is Boeing provides a full tank of fuel on delivery just like a new car.
I asked for full tank on my PA28-161 too wen taking delivery in Spore.
woahhh u have a plane in singapore?@@terryterry1655
And Floor Mats.

Based on today's fuel prices, Boeing must be rethinking this 😁😁
that 777x line up is amazing
EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THE TRIPLE 7 IS ALWAYS THE BEST
I remember the captain of the 777 from the silkway 747f video!
What a good experience it felt like on board on the airplane while watching at my sofa. Thanks for good video
Thank you for sharing with us this journey. Miss my Baku.
Great video!
Thanks Sam ) and welcome 😊
I understand the economic advantage of 2 engines vs. 4, and the 777 is a fine-looking aircraft, but it will never match the beauty and majesty of the Queen Of The Skies....
Mind-blowing ❤️🥰
Selalu menyenangkan video baru dari Sam Chui, terimakasih Sam❤
What a beautiful airline
I have just gotten in to aviation like 2 weeks ago and i already like this person :)
Wow all those new 777Xs lined up looks so cool
Congratulations. B777 is really nice aircraft.

Amazing video, Congrats Sam
Nice video! Thanks!
Im always blown away by the logistics that it takes to build planes. Looks insane.
Cool video. Everyone seemed very enthused abt the delivery
Fascinating !
What a cool experience! Great video Sam.
Thanks Dennis, appreciate your comment.
Love the 777 Great vlog Sam 😀
Very nicely done Sam! The Boeing Triple Seven is on my top five favorite aircraft. Outside of the Boeing 747 and the Lockheed L-1011. :)
Wonderful experience ❤
Love the video as always Sam :)
thank you Sam...
Love your videos Sam!
Good evening sam
Lovly I like your all videos 👌👌👌
Nice flight, was expecting water cannon salute upon arrival lol
Very interesting! Thanks!
Fantastic content as always.
Excellent, as usual.
At least no water canons to welcome a new plane .... COOL .
