I remember this big fella; I was there about a week ago lol (FRA-EWR, but on a 744). Saw more 747s and a380s than I'll ever see at my hometown airport.
The first 747 I ever saw was in 1970 when I was 15. I walked on board one parked at the gate at O'Hare. No security. I went into the cockpit and sat int he pilot's chair for about 15 minutes. The cleaning crew came by and smiled at me. It was a different world.
I saw one of these at Dulles just over a month ago, and I agree that they look a lot better than the 744s. I flew back to LHR on a British Airways 777-200ER, a wonderful aircraft.
***** That's the APU exhaust. The APU is a small turbine that provides electrical power and powers the air conditioning without needing to start the engines. Most aircraft have a straight APU exhaust at the rear, with the exceptions that I can name off the top of my head being the 777 and the MD-11, both of which have a sideways facing exhaust.
I am glad that Lufthansa order 20 new generation aircraft of Boeing 747-830i for long haul route, it will be much comfort, quieter than regular plane 747-400 too much noisy engine..
How come both right wing engines were turning as the plane was being pushed back, and then quit ? On every plane I've flown, the 1st engine is started JUST prior to the tow tractor being disconnected Before that, all power is being provided by a cord from the tractor...
I like that Best safe engine is GEnx2 against bird strike. I hope future that B747 will be full double deck and more GE's powerful thrust engines than GEnx2. ever than A380.
Schönes Video! Ich konnte vor kurzem auch mit der 747-8i mitfliegen. Ein paar Videos von Start und Landung hab ich auf meinem Kanal. Ein wirklich majestätischer "Vogel", hat mir sehr gut gefallen!
yeah the 380 looks like a fat mosquito (sorry but true). i can't help but liken it to an a320 blown up to double the size with two more engines. the 747 has a confident look to it.
The greatest aircraft I have ever been on, took it twice IAD to FRA, unbelievably quiet
Absolutely agree with you. And this is coming for an Airbus Fan. 747 is far more beautiful than the a380.
what a beautiful 747-8i. love her so much.
The real beauty queen.
Such a beautiful aircraft, much better looking than the 380. Still Queen of The Skies.
Wow, what a beautiful aircraft. I simply love it.

That engine is like art work. And the plane too
Magnificent Airplane! Thank you for posting!

Thank you for posting, and keep up the great work you are doing!
what a beautiful sight, thanks!!
Lucky you, Thanks for Sharing!! Do you remember what Gate she was at?
awesome as always
really cool video
awesome aircraft
Lufthansa leads the way with their fleet.................and the planes are spotless clean inside. American carriers should take note.
Flew that exact route from FRA to Dulles, but on a United 777. Which was honestly much better in my opinion.
the Queen of the sky`s
Amazing video !!!
Einfach schön!
Great video!! Nice!
Yeah...the 70,s. No stress flying back then..It was a better world.
That was a heavy takeoff
Great video :))
B747-400's aren't going to ever be replaced by B747-8i. The -400's will be flying for a long time ahead. Some do get retired though, but not all.
Nice video
I had the pleasure to be in one of those beauties.
Flight 065 Boeing 747-800 Delta airlines from Atlanta to London Heathrow
Delta doesn't fly the 747-'800'. They fly the 747-400. Besides, it's called the 747-8 not the 747-'800'.
BoeingvsAirbus1578 Woooooooo, check you and your anorak!

I had that happen to me a while back! Great video btw! I've gotta SUBSCRIBE!
perfect engineering 747-8xx
It almost seems that the 748 is meant for Lufthansa. Its like they just treat them better. Maybe it's the livery.
Very suspenseful.
Sorry didn't catch the gate - it was pushing from the other terminal and I was on the viewing platform.
Flight No..LH???
what gate?
Whats that round hole in the rear end? Is that its Poop Chute?

Dope
ahh, the 747-800i's older sister, 747-400 @ 8:46 :)

WizardmasterNZ this was meant to be the last 747 :((( also what's worse is it's probably one of the last quad engine jets boeing will make

I agree. But I like the -400 more than the -8 (the engines are ugly and too quiet)
747-8I*
And the entire base is gone from the south side of the field.
We dont get D-ABYA We get D-AYBD

I wish Qantas would order some, but they have a stupid boss.

Sorry meinte super

This plane is now above the united states :3
Einfach nicht auf crossbike hören ... A380 sieht aus wie eine Fleischwurst.
Should call it George Bush. D-UBYA. Almost......
scheussliche Buckelkiste. Null Eleganz. Kein Vergleich zum A380. Schönste Maschine ever war die Concorde.
