I grew up in the 60's and 70's about 10 miles from Heathrow and used to go there plane spotting with my father. He also worked there for Pan Am in the 70's as aircraft cleaning crew. As a newbie, on his 2nd or 3rd day, the crew forgot he was with them and he nearly got carted off to Kuala Lumpur.....much to his dismay. Back then you could park up almost anywhere to plane spot but not these days unfortunately........security is far too tight. We used to park up on the top floors of Terminals 1, 2 & 3 multi storey car parks with binoculars for hours at a time and no one bothered you. I still go there (as well as LGW, BHX, MAN, STN, LTN, LCY) most days as I'm now a taxi driver but plane spotting is very difficult so to see this video is a wonderful reminder of what's the other side of the perimeter fence. Thanks for the great video and keep up the good work. I just wish I was in a position to travel as you do. lol :-))
Justin Hopkins Until you actually want to get somewhere and your flight goes from Heathrow. Friend of mine set out from South London at 05:10 this morning, and only got airborne at 11:15. Now she is about 2.5 hours out of JFK. Then she has to take a connection to Philadelphia. It's a total pain these days.
Got to say I don't like LHR in comparison to American airports based on the general layouts of the terminals, but the amount of heavies that take-off and land every minute is second to none and every aviation enthusiast's dream. Nice work :)
747 the queen of the skies at 37:40 is beautiful...great video...I don't see planes that large at my home air port of Ft Lauderdale...I need to get to Miami sometime and capture some 747 and A380s one day.
Great video Dan, well done. Of all the aircraft you just can't beat the look of a 747 in my book though having said that, the 757 is my favorite to fly in. Many thanks Dan, this has to be the best Heathrow video to date.
I recently had the experience of filming in 4K at Heathrow but from the Renaissance Hotel. Like your video here, it's behind glass. However, you have some really good footage and it's not the sort of thing you can get from the outdoor places like Hatton Cross etc. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Amazing video , I live in East London, and only do spotting at London city airport...wish they were this big.... Lol... big thumb up for the Airbus a330....for me the most beautiful aircraft when it comes to agility, elegance and design...
What a great video, all the variety! I sure would love to see British Airways add some 747-8is to their fleet.............will be very strange not seeing the queen of the skies in their fleet. Love the triple 7 but gotta admit, the 747 is very special ;-)
This was very pleasing to watch! Lovely collection of planes there! One question: how does the runway system work at LHR? Is there takeoffs on one runway and landings on the other?
No, judging by the terrible delays there, they just take off and land whenever, amd wherever, they want. (Coming from Someone who lives very close to, amd below the flight path of, Heathrow)
***** Not quite right. They use 27R for landings and 27L for take off until 1500 when it swaps over to give the locals a bit of a break from the noise. Occasionally something will land on the "wrong" runway, this is usually to avoid an inconveniently long taxi around half the airfield. When the wind dictates eastward ops (>5 knots) they use 09L to land and take off from 09R.
At 2.16 seconds i think i spot concorde sitting on the tarmac in the distance is that correct? i thought it is no more forgive if i am wrong but its like concorde..
Right, a viewing platform that is only available to T4 travellers. That's not really much use is it - if you're flying out of LHR then you will get pretty good views of traffic anyway.
your so lucky too see those planes Could I be in one of your videos one day I definitely subscribed to this awesome channel Thumbs up plane fans I am a plane fan are u
Nice video, you forgot to mention GermanWings taking off, is this the same plane that just crashed in the French alps lately. Heathrow sure is a very busy airport, lots of changes since last time I landed there years ago. Keep up the good work!
Tom F You are correct, at 11:16 it is an A319 taking off (D-AKNT), I was just wondering about the others seen in this video, at 12:01 and also at 44:00. Thanks for your reply. So sad what happened, that A320 that crashed was in perfect shape!
@5:55 I see a British Airways plane behind the Lufthansa plane but cannot tell if its behind a fence.This plane looks like an SST which I thought were cancelled due to operating cost.Do these still fly in Europe?
+Patrick Comerford yes i spotted it right away i thought its no longer in flight since November 26 2003 ,whats it doing there on the tarmac? nice to see it though,and i was more watching that than the others even though it was just sat there lol

46 minutes of beauty heavy jets. This Heathrow spotting is one of the best. Congratulations..and please give us more!
One of the best videos of this kind I've ever seen. It seems you'd be there watching the planes. Amazing!
Still pure AWESOMEness!

Heathrow is so impressive. An aviation enthusiasts dream! Thanks for the new video, I always look forward to them!
Justin Hopkins I appreciate it :)

I completely agree. It can be an absolute nightmare.
Holy Moly Maybe she should try flying from London City then?!!
To where?
In deed, thumbs up for the queen of the skies :) !!
I love watching plane take off and land .What a great video.I live around the corner from a airport
Those BA 787s are just Gorgeous 😍
Impeccable viewing! This entire video is wonderful.
..However, that sublime blast-from-the-past KLM 737 to close.. Was utterly exceptional.
Thank you!
Heathrow is one of my favourite airport in the world
Got to say I don't like LHR in comparison to American airports based on the general layouts of the terminals, but the amount of heavies that take-off and land every minute is second to none and every aviation enthusiast's dream. Nice work :)
Thanks for another stunner, it's nice to see a Concorde still in one piece. Please keep up the great work, I love it!
OMG - didn't know there was a new platform at LHR!
Fantastic ...
Amazing Video as always :-) Heathrow is superb for spotting.
One of the few landing video's at LHR on yt where the touchdown is also included. Great spot!
Wonderful panning view of the take-offs!
Heathrow Airport is just cool
Amazing plane spotting video! Liked!
Wow you can see The Concorde sitting on the tarmac there. Waiting to be brought back to life.
747 the queen of the skies at 37:40 is beautiful...great video...I don't see planes that large at my home air port of Ft Lauderdale...I need to get to Miami sometime and capture some 747 and A380s one day.
Great compilation dantorp!

It caught my attenion the slow rotation of the United´s 757 at 4:51

GUlf Airbus beauty!!!

Patrick Lovell Thanks for the information! Really helped me as I am planning to do some spotting there this summer!
***** Most busy mornings they use the 2 runways for take offs and landings in dual mode. Much quicker this way, but unpoular with the locals.
Nice Nice Nice Nice....
At 2.16 seconds i think i spot concorde sitting on the tarmac in the distance is that correct? i thought it is no more forgive if i am wrong but its like concorde..

I am a plane fan are u

Where is the GW plane? I can only see one that's an A319- an A320 crashed

2:37 lovely concorde view
cool place and video..:-)))
@5:55 I see a British Airways plane behind the Lufthansa plane but cannot tell if its behind a fence.This plane looks like an SST which I thought were cancelled due to operating cost.Do these still fly in Europe?
Keval Moto Bhai
Yet one more reason that validates my freakin love of being English
I need to go to terminal 4 did you go on holiday from there or were you just allowed in
How did you go there. What kind of bus and where at terminal 4.
dnata?? Does Dnata handling airport operations and ground handling at Heathrow?
You can still hear the old 767 roaring up !
I love 747 takeoff.
I go to Heathrow to go planespotting since I live in UK and I'm close to Heathrow I think the best place to go is Myrtle avenue
Oh, if only planes were this quiet lol....
queen of the skies...yessss...but a fuel burner to boot!
Hi brilliant video. Is it free to enter?? As I'm a young aviation enthusiast and would love to get into this place
Where is that viewing spot and can I get to it without having to buy plane tickets
I thought Virgin Atlantic Stopped operating the a320 a year ago, I think, Anyways, Nice video
is it true they will be using the concorde
What camera do you use mate?
Why did it take that UA 757 so long to complete rotating after its front wheels lifted off the tarmac?
It was heavy
Pilots wait until they are confident the aircraft is gaining altitude and speed
Keval hero
their was a concorde in use!
2:16 omg i thought they don't use the concord no more.
Do they used it now on time
2 hours
How many hours before the departure you can enter the security zone if you fly with KLM from heathrow?
did you see the concorde plane?
+Patrick Comerford yes i spotted it right away i thought its no longer in flight since November 26 2003 ,whats it doing there on the tarmac? nice to see it though,and i was more watching that than the others even though it was just sat there lol
magicfuntime i dont know why is it sitting there
I SAW THE CONCORDE
Guys look you can see a Concorde see there were the British airways taking off the little British airways 😁
I'm from South Africa and I had no idea that SAA flies to London
24:47 look closely
I saw the plane I was in!!!!!!!! American airlines 777-300 at 12:37
and yes, I landed on the 22nd
cool
17:44 oh wow, 767 with winglets?
Didn't expect to see Concord here. This was filmed in 2015!
Andrew its probably anchored there as they aren't in use anymore
Is the Concorde at 2:30 on Static Display there?
Geoff Hall I think it is.
Geoff Hall Yes it is! They have out to display. Paris CDG has one too.
i could tell that united 757 was heading to newark,nj lol
I want to come ride on the Ferris wheel on the river.
Maybe the Pilot from the United 757 should know, that V1 is not the Speed for take off :-D
