The last 747 rolled out on December 6th (747-8F N863GT for Atlas Air), ending 54 years of production of one of the most successful aircraft in the world
To think this basically started with a handshake and a promise between two friends on a fishing trip is the true testament to the integrity of people from that era.
I was a year old in 1968 when this aircraft was rolled out, now I have a diecast model of this from Inflight200 which arrived this past Thursday. I love the model & I'm glad I finally decided to buy one.
Tje 747 has been the best and the greatest of all times despite any other A380 or the latest 787. It was the first heavy built in the late 60's and will be forever.
I was there with Louie Weathers, sitting in his new GTO on the freeway to watch this Monster Jet take it's first flight. I had just got out of the Army a month before and Louie helped me get a temporary Long Shoreman job on pier 47, we were having a ball for three months. We were listening to the radio driving around and heard the live report and got to the view area from the road looking down on the runway. I looked like it was flying about 80 MPH because it was so Big, and so Loud!
50 years of the first flight of the Boeing 747!!! February 9, 1969 made the first flight of the Boeing 747-100 (initial model of the series "747") - the world's first long-haul double-deck wide-body passenger aircraft.
I saw this plane in 1969 Palm Springs........they were doing the warm weather testing there because Acapulco was too cold. What a sight to see when that whale came around the pattern......it was impressive then and still is now..........

@@nathanjohntv7902 yeah. That is N7470, she was also registered as RA001. But in the later years after its launch...it was registered as N1352B, and then after being retired...it was reregistered as N7470 and preserved at KBFI - Boeing Field.
Great video i saw the 747-in 1969-it was doing. T AND GS at the airport i live in it flew over my house it was huge that was my 1st time seeing it later i saw more with Pan am,United,and TWA.they were making T and Gs.I loved it.Nice video.
@@jacklong9449 lmao, Airbus is the only reason why the 747 even still exists. They were always a big factor in the development of the 747, since they are the only airline stupid enough to buy that massive pile of trash.
@@cooltwittertag I wasn’t talking about Airbus vs Boeing, rather the A380 vs the 747. The A380 was a failure, but there have also been Boeing’s which have failed such as the 717.
@IndraEMC It's still ''The Queen Of The Skies'' by the way. The A-380 is just modern that's all. There is also the new 747-8 Intercontinental which now the largest commercial plane.
Although by the end it was clear the queen’s time had come to an end, that did not make it easier to say goodbye to the 53 year old Jumbo Jet. RIP 747 “Queen of the Skies”
"Boeing decided to build the factory to build the plane while building the plane inside the factory they were building to build the plane they were building inside the factory they were building to build the plane."
Boeing changed aviation , from the 707 , to the B-52 , Boeing is the best , Airbus is just a manufacturer , It didn't changed aviation , well except the a380 , saves more fuel the 747 and more passengers , but 747 still remains the queen of the skies
I flew on many 747s. It is what gave me the love of flying. All these airlines now junking the queen of the sky's for these modern planes should be out out of business

A380 is good modern plane, but 747 is the "King of Planes" for me!

Cool , I mean that 747 have last for a long time , I wonder when Boeing is going to make a new plane like Airbus A380
I have 6 model 747s 😂

This aircraft is in the Museum of flight in Seattle, it's an awesome museum!
Even after 50 years the Queen stands out from the rest..Timeless beauty..

A golden era comes to an end

So this is where a legend was born but in 2022 it finally ended
When people realised planes could be much more than just "novelty flying machines"
Boeing in 70s: We officially created the biggest plane ever
Airbus : Hold my Rolls Royce Reactor
They were not able to do that for 40 years after 747 was mare
you can bet, the A 380 wont last as much as the Queen of sky 747.
Yeah because the A380 is the king of commercial aviation

747 all the way, the original Queen of the Skies
YES!!-American guitars, cars, & airliners. 747 is the queen of the skies, A-380 will never take away the 747's #1 spot.
Airbus a380 the sky 😏😏

Can't believe some company's are getting rid of these.

Come back now and say that lmao
They burn lot of fuel ⛽

i have travelled in 747 from mumbai to dubai. very nice flight. Thank God the purest merciful
when footage from 1960's is more clear than a security camera footage
what a weird and useless comparison to make.
3:42 this must be the landing gears 1st time opening
4:17 1st time engines spinning
@IndraEMC It's still ''The Queen Of The Skies'' by the way.
The A-380 is just modern that's all. There is also the new 747-8 Intercontinental which now the largest commercial plane.
KevinFI It's not the largest, but it is the longest.
Whoops. Did not see your other comment until later. My bad.
Never Saw somthing that old as good as this, NICE!!!
If the 747 is never made, we will not see other widebodies in the skies. Thanks the Queen
You mean widebody airbus?
You may now rest queen of the skies😢
Although by the end it was clear the queen’s time had come to an end, that did not make it easier to say goodbye to the 53 year old Jumbo Jet. RIP 747 “Queen of the Skies”
I’m glad she’s being kept safe in a museum.
Was thinking if I could use this for a video...
...it's a bit of a fictional trailer for something called SimplePlanes.
747 is ' THE MAJESTIC QUEEN'
“Wow looks incredible! This is definitely gonna last forever.”
-1968
What was the biggest civil aircraft before the 747?
thihal123 The Largest Before 747 is TU114
Thanks for everything queen of the sky
4:37 engines 1st sound
The sad part is, Tape #2 is region locked in the UK by Channel 5
What’s the introductory song in the beginning? It sounds catchy.
City Commuter by Syd Dale. I think the "catchy" part is about 1 minute into the song.
Long live the 747
Sure wish today's Americans were this ambitious. Seems we stopped making meaningful progress.
Long live the king of the skies!
@Hencer16 the 747 rollout took place in 1968
cool when was the 200 made
1971
The 777-300ER is cool. But the 767 is the BEST! After that, the 747 and A340
Happy 50th Birthday !
"Boeing decided to build the factory to build the plane while building the plane inside the factory they were building to build the plane they were building inside the factory they were building to build the plane."
If you see the picture with all the flight attendants, From left to right, my grandma is the first green one.
Wow that's cool! What time stamp is that in the video?
It’s not in the video but if you look up first 747 on google, it should pop up
Here after they made the last one
The birth of a Legend 🥹
and planes still look the same after all these years?
we know A380 was the biggest and the best, but one thing, B747 was a "King" of Passenger Plane from 1976 to 2006
@Hencer16 Its actually November 30th 1968
@64MojoMan Thank You! : )
747 beats the A380 hands down even though they aren't competing.
There is no comparison between them in terms of being successful.
The 747 program was, the A 380 wasn't and some are already being scrapped.
Like watching heavyweight boxing, new competitors, but Tyson will always be king
Thanks for sharing this!
3:25 That flap part sounded like a scream for a moment..😅😅😅
Szép és megbizható gép.
R.I.P Boeing 747 (1969-2023)
It looked more like a Antonov-124 which I like
whos watching in 2022!!
2023: This beast is now being retired from the production line.
@Hencer16 First flight was in 1969.
No, the MD-11's got the better dessin than the DC-10.
I always liked the paintjob on that one

Vegans and hippies, close your eyes at 1:07, it’s some rough stuff
The Boeing 747 has come so far why stop now ?
2022 and the last one is being used by Atlas air😕
The a380 is bigger, sure, but this was the biggest bus you could ride for 36 years
A 380 arrived decades late and Airbus didn't realize that. It isn't even a desirable freighter airplane.
This was made 13 years ago
I think he's referring to the music.

I once went on a 747 but It must have been old cause it was very shaky
Its because of turbulence, planes dont shake when they are old tho
