I've been a GA pilot at an airport that has 2 sets of parallel runways where on the day in question both were active. Depending on the quadrant you were in that determined what runway you used (ATIS) - one side doing a right hand circuit the other left hand circuit. So on base, two of us were flying directly at each other. It was very disconcerting. When we both turned onto final I relaxed. I must admit to cutting the corner and not flying a 90deg turn onto final - more like a 30 deg LOL, which brought me in a bit high but that was fine because our hangers were at the far end anyhow and the runway double the length I needed.
Over the course of a lengthy career, this 747 ✈️ may not have been upgraded with 4 new high ethanol 🌽🌽🌽🌽 burning engines. In this case, everyone 🙏 enjoys the unmistakable aroma of corn-on-the-cob fresh from the 🔥. 😷🥴🙃😂
Reminds me of the one I saw live years ago, LAX, Airbus' nose gear twists 90 degrees to straighten out as it is deployed, but this one stayed locked, cross-ways, so dumped fuel, landed, tires blew out in front, ground down the rims on the tarmac, no injuries.
Fun fact: jet fuel is actually pretty close to diesel fuel. People often expect that aviation engines use the highest quality fuel, but in reality, turbine engines can burn pretty much anything, so they normally use a rather cheap, diesel-like fuel.
Originally, it was kerosene cut with gasoline, to help it stay liquid at lower temperatures. Basically fancy kerosene, NATO uses the same fuel in both diesel and turbines.

According to comments on VAS Aviation's clip of this video, this particular landing was done by the First Officer who was in training, and it's this bad likely because pilots coming to the 747 aren't used to the cockpit being higher-up. The second landing was smooth as butter.
@@HeidiKohne cockpit being higher up isn’t an issue. You listen to the radar altimeter call outs. It’s the same. If this was the first officer flying, I’d say the captain did a pretty crappy job of seeing this coming.
Flew with Lufthansa to Tokyo Narita, also a 747, and the landing was just as in this video. The wings almost hit the ground. It was a brutal landing, sounded like a crash.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 i gathered serveral Information about this, and it seems that the first officer was trying to land. It was a rookie, and a Trainingflight. The Pilot was a women actually 😄
I hope for the last one the captain said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the plane to our left wants to race us. He has a head start, but we're going to beat him in the air." 😆
10:05 If you observe closely, it is noticeable how the whole fuselage flexed quite hard then the plane slammed on the ground and bounced back up. Never seen this on a 747, and can only imagine how frightening it must heve been for everyone on-board
When the A380 wanted to do a London drift, the B747-800 wanted to hop, skip and jump, the B757 got stray thoughts about doing a space mission, the B747-400 wanted to remind us that she still had it in her, and the two non-Max's wanted to race each other to the max !!
That retirement 747 was spewing massive amounts of av-gas into the atmosphere. But it was a nice wave goodbye all the same. That nose wheel coupling needs to get a maintenance check.. that Lufthansa bounce made a butter landing after the go around. Love seeing the parallel’s…..
It’s been sitting for 4 years so it’s probably burning all the oils that have been sitting and from coming back. No different to how cars are usually Smokey after they haven’t started for a while or from having maintenance done.
Any plane enthusiasts know what that bounce was about? It didn't look like they descended too quickly, flared too late or got a late burst of wind shear.
Is the Lufthansa 747 the same plane that had the hard landing and GA in Toronto? That’s a test of structural integrity, maybe not so lucky a third time?
2:04 what a well deserved B747 wing-wave :-) but why are we seeing so much dark exhaust, and from each engine? Regardless, great for visualization of wing lift vortices.
Goodbye Air India B747. Its sad to see some airlines retire the boeing 747. I hope Lufthansa, Korean Air, Air China and Atlas Air keep the boeing 747 for a long period of time.
I don't care what anyone says about the Airbus A380 bla bla bla but the legendary 747 queen of the skies will ALWAYS be iconic and never be forgotten for decades to come👍🏿👍🏿
I don't think the A380 gear skidded due to a wrong input by the pilot. It appears as if something went wrong with the brakes or the nose wheels. I noticed that the smoke appeared before the plane started turning, or at the very beginning of the turn and I am not sure it actually skidded. From the looks of it, I would say that the wheels keep on turning - the smoke is coming from all around the tires, not just the contact point with the tarmac. If I did not know any better, I would suggest that the wheels were spinning 🤣Any other opinions?
It was explained to me by an aircraft engineer that the front wheels on many airliners are often very lightly loaded at taxi, getting them to bite when turning can sometimes be a problem which can generate understeer. Apparently assymetrically adjusting engine thrust can help. As the front gear can be so lightly loaded it is one of various reasons why nose wheels don't have brakes as they would not work well. Front skids like this are quite a common occurance and there are quite a few videos on the Web showing them. I have witnessed KC-135s doing something similar three or four times over the years when trying to execute a 180 degree reversal on a runway.
It was air India's last 747 in service and was parked at Mumbai international Airport since 2020. In this video it is heading for scraping and does wave by maneuver to bid adieu..
She'd been a passenger plane on a small Air India plane aerodynamically innovationed. In a parallax takeoff. In a biggest surprise! She is so very cool.
Lovely wing-wave from the retiring 'Jumbo' ❤😢

Yes, it was lovely to see. I used to fly on them all the time. Memories!❤

@@Skrackenit technically is made from crude oil…🗿
It had been grounded for 4 years. That is the reason for all that smoke
@@Sridharks46 Nah, it's probably using the same older, smokier engines that were delivered with the aircraft from the factory.

It’s always sad to see a Boeing 747 retired. The Boeing 747 is and always will be the best looking airliner ever.
Terrific to fly on as well. I flew on them a lot. Nothing like it!❤
I have to go with a Lockheed Constellation, sexiest aircraft of all time.
For me its one of three: 747, A350 and 757. Gonna be sad when only one of those is around in a few years
That one was smoking like it was burning coal!
When the 747 first came out the cockpit had a view hatch so that the flight engineer could use a sextant for navigation purposes.
Air India need to up their maintenance. That 747 shouldn't be smoking like an early version 707. 👀
They haven't flown since 2021.. Air India has been maintaining them since that's why they are still flyable

Pay attention: it's being flown into retirement. That should tell you something.
It’s probably churning the air pollution!
Reminds me of the one I saw live years ago, LAX, Airbus' nose gear twists 90 degrees to straighten out as it is deployed, but this one stayed locked, cross-ways, so dumped fuel, landed, tires blew out in front, ground down the rims on the tarmac, no injuries.
Didn't dump fuel. Just burned off fuel for a few hours before landing.
That old air India 747 was run in to the ground before retirement ! Did they run it on diesel before it was scrapped😮
no..I think that one was coal fired
Fun fact: jet fuel is actually pretty close to diesel fuel. People often expect that aviation engines use the highest quality fuel, but in reality, turbine engines can burn pretty much anything, so they normally use a rather cheap, diesel-like fuel.

That did cross my mind when it came up. I would have literally ff'd to the next clip no matter how good it was
That old Air India 747 heading off for retirement reminded me of Boeing B52 with the amount of black smoke coming out of the engines.
Air India 747 got some oil in the pistons!....
A turbofan engine has no pistons.
AVL all over YT and the media this week, nice!
Sad to see any of the queens retiring
That nose wheel incident seems very familiar.
Maybe the same one but captured by different spotter
Yes, the AB, 90 degree twist, that sometimes does not happen.
Jetblu…..
I think the control for that wheel is a tiny yoke, next to the flight stick. It’s very easy to over steer and doesn’t have any force feedback.
Something else going on there, it was smoking well before the turn started !!
Flew with Lufthansa to Tokyo Narita, also a 747, and the landing was just as in this video. The wings almost hit the ground. It was a brutal landing, sounded like a crash.
Tokyo, Narita is well known for high winds. I landed there in a United 747-400, crosswind was so severe, plane was almost sideways.
That 747 looked like one hell of a roller coaster ride. E ticket landing for sure! Im sure a lot of seats needed deep cleansing after that too.
The American channels are saying the Lufthansa 747 landing is the craziest they have seen, I'm sure they haven't seen the videos you shared here

It was air India’s fault the 747 was burning that much smoke. A 747-400 shouldn’t be smoking like that. They need to step up their maintenance
