When 747s Ruled the World - Extended PREVIEW

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- * Preview* of a Series to come by the TITLE name. You may notice some repeat scenes as my editing program appears to have a mind of it's own (workin' on it). This is an extended mix of the previous mix.
This series will feature nearly all major 747 operators. It is a tribute those who had the foresight to shoot video back before it was popular so that we (today) can look back and see 'what once existed'..and see it in motion! People like Willie Kaemena, David Maxwell, Craig Pilkington and Nao Nakagawa and a few more.
The 747 that are seen here (many in original 747-100 form) will be from these carriers:
Aer Lingus * Aerolineas Argentinas * Aerosur * Air Canada * CAAC * Air China * Air France * Air Gabon * Air India * Alitalia * All Nippon * American Airlines * Ansett * Avianca * BOAC * British Airways * Braniff Intl * CP Air * Canadian Airlines * Cathay Pacific * China Airlines * Delta * Egyptair * El Al * Emirates * Flying Tigers * JAL * Korean Air * KLM * Lufthansa *Northwest *NWA * Pan Am * SAA * TWA * UTA * United Airlines -
Enjoy it everybody!
After the 747 Series is complete, there will be a 707 Series followed by DC-8s and the supercool jumbo Trijets!
Oh, and see if you can spot the pilot having a smoke in the cockpit...!

This is one of my favorite videos to watch on TH-cam. The 747 is still the Queen of the skies. Her reign is over 40 years long & with the 747-8i she still rules. Thanks for your long hours of work putting this together. It's much appreciated.
Hi Nelson! Speaking from the -pehaps dark- future here. Sadly Boeing is set to produce the last 747 in 2022 :(. Are you still on TH-cam?
@@j.chiari Hi J. Yes I’m still on TH-cam. I share your sadness about the 747.
AWESOME !!!! WONDERFUL VIDEO....747 IS STILL THE KING OF THE SKIES TO ME...THANKS FOR UPLOADING
I am nostalgic for many of them, from the Clipper Ship boat planes of the 30's, the Boeing 314, the Boeing Stratocruiser to the DC series, Boeing 707 & the widebodies of the 70's - the L1011 & DC 10. I even admire the Airbus 380. However, the classiest dame of all has & I think will always be Boeing's 747. Great video! My only suggestion would be adding interior shots or maybe that could be "part 2". Thanks for uploading & keeping the "Jumbo Jet" spirit alive.
she will always be the queen of skys
Absolutely...
Outstanding Video & Great Memories of when Air Travel was an enjoyable experience!
Honestly watching this makes me want to cry, I love the 747
@vanhalo Thank you! It's good to hear from someone who can appreciate just how much time & effort goes into creating something like this. Thanks again.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to do this.. the final right now is over 4 hours long, I've gotta trim it down to 4 - 15 min clips...and it is truly agonizing at cutting up some of my favorite scenes. This is why it's taking awhile, plus some footage needs to 'worked' on individually to be made presentable.
Starboard76 hi, can I buy from you, copies of the 4 hours of 747 video that you posses? I believe you that cutting the video viewing time to make this program possible was both fun and painful. am I right when I missed the interior footage showing full takeoff, climb out, final approach and landing?
I can't wait till the actual video is complete. This preview looks nice!
Wow!!!! What a treat!! Thank-you :)
glad and proud to see VARIG at 5:42 one of biggest brazilian airline
Totally awesome. Nice to see the PAA clips in there, recognizing who started it all. Thanks for the memories; son of a former life-long Pan Am'er.
Godspeed.
Wow, i can't believe how many different 747 operators there are/ were from all around the world!
Terrific shots of the greatest aeroplane of the 20 th Century. Born in the 1960s and still flying in 2011.
@krisworld1 ..hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it..unfortunately I think a Boeing 707 video I'm about to release wil be out before I release the finished version of this baby. But when I'n done, this one will be very impressive.
@Starboard76 .. The B707 was the first passenger jet I ever flew. There is nothing that compares to the sound of the B707 engines roaring at take-off. Loved the airplane. A Classic!!! Look forward to the 707 Video.I'm sure it will impress..as all of your Videos have done.
Amazing video showcasing the best plane to ever grace the skies, the Boeing 747!
This is a great video! Thank you. The music is excellent with an upbeat sound. I would love to see more compilations like this.
Thank you very much! There are plenty on my channel.
What a great clip.
The 747 has changed our world.
Simple as that.
747 will always be with us!
@Starboard76...Great Choice of music for this video. The music is perfect for this majestic airplane. Your other 747 video also had fantastic music. I can't wait to fly the new B747-8i. Keep Up the good work and thanks for keeping memories of this great airplane alive.
Yes this was my time and ow boy did I Love it !! I was really Sad when I heard that the Last Boeing 747-8 was being made and this was the end of an Era !! This was definitely the Best Airplane I ever flew on and 2 me the most Beautiful Airliner ever made !! What a Marvellous Airplane Boeing ever made!! Thanks for the video clip and GOD Bless u !!! 😊😊
My God. Watching this and remembering my many flights aboard 747s with Lufthansa, KLM, Air France, Pan Am, American, United, Northwest, TWA, Japan Airlines, Thai Airways, Cathay Pacific, Air Canada, etc...truly a dream!
The Boeing 747 best aircraft ever made, should never stopped making them.
True and change can sometimes be a bitch..in the case of the 747, it really is.
wow, wow, wow, and finally wow. this looks like it has taken a lot of effort and I commend you on a great "preview." Hell I wouldn't even care if this was the final. It has great content, but while normally I'm not a fan of the club scene, this soundtrack is incredibly fitting.
50/5
@dot13badj .. : D glad you liked it!
Scuseme; It still rules the world.... OUTSTANDING vid; Thanks for sharing.
Some wonderful clips! Good video.
Nice El Al and love the footage of Delta as well. Very well done. I remember one time I was flying out of BOS and they had a 747 nose up against the glass. That was intense!
I remember going to the viewing areas and watching planes at many airports as a kid with the parents. In 1978 I saw a ward air 747 land in Ottawa in winter. It was the first time seeing one for me & unforgettable.
Northwest at Detroit June 99 my first
@Shrimpo7 ..very good eye! I didn't even notice the Pan Am FA uniforms and now I noticed the stair truck is also Pan Am too. But ay 8:08 is just a taxiing Delta 747, near end at 14:45, the crew deplanes.
this is still my favorite youtube video ever, the music and footage is priceless, but does anybody know the name of the song?

@@Starboard76 thank you!
Way back when I was a flight attendant for the French airline, in the late 70's until the mid 90's. 747s were my favorite to work in. I spent so many hours in these birds working my ass off on long haul. But I loved them and I really had a crush on the stewardesses with their tight light blue miniskirts, their little cap and their white gloves...Yummm! I had a 15 year party!
TWA & Pan Am were 1st and too up 80% of my original video 'best damn 747 video'..this vid came after that one
Such a beautiful aircraft
Trust me,,with recently obtaining Eastern 747 and National Airlines (Sun King) footage recently...it's been worth the wait.
Starboard76 you folks are the best, at starboard76. thank you for the beautiful film footage. thru you I have revisited my childhood,-I was an airline brat,then a flight attendant for all 3 legacy carriers
Starboard76 hi starboard, as a huge fan of yours, I have some spectacular american747, big glossy interior pictures of round table dining, first class and coach lounges w/ piano bars. at my age and a " ground family" , would you like to see the aforementioned, plus stewardess hats, wings, and film footage my dad took back in1962, of me gleefully running along the tarmac at Chicago midway while ORD was still under construction? I grew up in the beautiful/ golden decades of commercial airline industry,and don't have the heart to throw away my airline treasures. would you like to go thru my storage, and decide if you can give the aforementioned a good home??! 702- 600- 3522
@@anngranger3007 , Hello Ann, I hope you are well and please accept my apologies for not responding to this generous message you sent to me. First off, I hope your are faring well amid these very trying times. The tragedy here is I never saw this message until today and only because someone requested the sound track details to the song used and in responding to him a simply glance down was your very complimentary initial comment on my channel! I sure hope you are still hanging with my channel it's it only gotten more focused and more interesting (to me anyway). Please remove your phone number (above) from this public domain..I'm certainly some psycho or two or more has attempted to prank you but really hope not! Anyhow I have your information should be decide to look into what you have to share.! Thank you again, Starboard76!
That's a fantastic and wonderful plane for ever.
I love 747.Even after A380 experience i think the queen of the sky is still 747.
Work projects and missing desired pieces (LAN Chile 747, Viasa 747 and Air Siam 747..all long shots) of the puzzle.
The 707 video will come before this series is completed.
Starboard76 I can hardly wait
Such a short period of time between the debut of the 707 and being surpassed by the 747. And more than 30 years before the 747 was surpassed by the A380!
@compdude100 The soundtrack is So Much Love (Classic Instrumental) - Malaika
Please put a link to the music
The scene of the Pan Am crew descending the stairs from a Delta 747 (at point 8.08), is a rare sight indeed. Must have been filmed somewhere during the Pan Am/Delta interchange flights. The routing was ATL-IAD-LHR. All of this was way before Delta started their own transatlantic flying.
Great vid by the way, thank you
@compdude100 .. you are right to ask, I've been distracted by more pressing matters. But I hope to have it together in the next few weeks. Sorry for the delay!
She always be the queen of sky's period❤
@EAMR262 ..yeah and look how long it took me to find this..! That is unimaginable that they flew them for nearly 20 years and no one bothered to record one of the the most colorful 747s ever. I started to record in 1997..so I missed them by 3 years, they would have been on the top of my list. I've plenty photos - which bothers me even more because looking back .. it was a waste of time..everyone has photos! There is one source for sure with some great footage - Colombian TV news!
@EAMR262 ,,hmmmm an Avianca MD11.. that and the China Airlines DC-10 (was never delivered..but painted) has got to the rarest period! I bet no one has either of those in video...people 'were 'picture-minded' back then.
The added AV footage will appear when I complete this 747 project, no ETA yet.
Good work!
Spectacular queen!
@compdude100 no worries, just download my clip here and use just about any app to extract the sound from the video and now you have your own copy!
the majestic for ever
I was once told that Japan Airlines was the first carrier to change the Boeing upper deck from a bar to a business class cabin.Very smart of JAL. Passengers are not interested to go to the bar-they just want to get to their destination.
747 :D we all love you :D :D :D
in my opinion the good old 747 sceens died when pan american and TWA died :( :(
i would love to see more 747-100's and -200's in service but i doubt that Sadly :(
i love the music!!!!! does anyone know what its called????
I CANT WAIT FOR THE 707 SERIES!!!!!!!!
@EAMR262 ..yeah I've seen the commercial video you're speaking of. I have not seen the 727s ..is it own youtube? If you're in Colombia, you might want contact the publicity dept of any station and express preserving Avianca history, also Avianca's own PR department certainly has footage of their 1st 747 operations...it's worth a shot!
@Starboard76 I've been checking, and besides the footage from the crashed jumbo in Spain, I only found one old commercial with a 747 taking off, the rest shows its replacement, the 767 (which they also refereed as jumbo at the time). Strangely, I also found a lot of footage of their 727 (retired in the late 90s).
Queen of the Sky is the Best Passenger Plane ever made. 💯💖🥂
B747s will ALWAYS rule the sky.I am a BIG boeing fan and especially of the MIGHTY 747.Long may they continue to reign.The 747 will NEVER be surpassed by the a380
Neil Slade now I dread December 2017 when all boeing747 Wil be parked
gran trabajo felicitaciones, vi el avión de Avianca, Muchos recuerdos cuando la
Avianca nos mandó a hacer el curso a SEATLE, que momentos de alegría vivimos
cuando aterrizamos en BOGO´TÁ, todos lloramos de la emoción, gracias de nuevo
por hacer un video tan lindo.
maria Eugenia, 13mariae
So does that mean you'll have it up soon? Cool!
@EAMR262 ..it took me forever to find that piece! I just have a few seconds where it's holding for a gate at CDG it's sort of frontal view. If there's more out there anywhere..I'll find it...or do my best.
@landman1973, yes Flying Tigers was an American carrier. It was absorbed into Federal Express. It was started by the late Gen. Claire Chennalt, he was the leader of a renegade band of US war pilots to gave the Japanese hell fighting 'guerilla style' in Southern China, Burma and other parts of Southeast Asia. They took on jobs the US military was not in a position to take on. They contributed greatly to the Allied war effort in WWII.
As for 747 takeoff speed, you're right in the ball park.
Always she will be the queen of the sky's like no others period
How were you able to catch the RJ 747? any Kai Tak approaches with 747? Not that it is the only one but at 10:29 is just an amazing shot.. Any people Express 747?
I like how the first airline clip is of my airline, Aer Lingus
I guess was recalling the days when you visited LAX and JFK .. there were easily 20-40 747 passenger ships on the ground.
A photo I took at Kennedy had 3 Alitalia 747 tails clustered together, 2 for Rome, one for Milan. SAS would have 2 or 3, KLM two, Swissair with 2 or 3 and on an on.LAX had them waiting for gates after long pacific flights...JAL would have 4 on the ground, Korean had 5 on some days, you could fly a 747 LA-SFO or Chicago easily....those days are long gone.
The queen of the sky's like no other period
all i can say to boing is only, please always make variations of 747
@Starboard76 I have another question for you - Flying Tiger Airways, was that American carrier, and by the video I assume they were around in the '70s. Also, I know there's various cenarios, but what would by the typical take off speed of a 747 heavy? I am thinking 180mph. Cheers!
The queen of the sky's the best ever like no others
@Starboard76 Well, at least pictures of the MD can be easily found, but the DC, wow, nothing! I found pictures after it was re-sold though(its still flying!). Maybe the problem is that back then recorder were pretty expensive?
Anyway, I will be expecting that video, meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy the rest of your works!
I can not wait to see the series - great preview! I made note of "ANA" what airline was that?? Asian?? From what I could tell from the footage, ANA were around in the '80's - is this true???
@Starboard76 Thnaks for the info, its much appreciated! another question for you...I know 400 series carries approx. 63,000 gallons of fuel, with that in mind, and taking into consideration that its heavy would use approx. 10,000 feet of runway (I think?) and that take off speed is approx 170 knots, give or take 10 either way, but I don't know how fuel it burns on take off. Any idea? I am taking a wild guess here and think its 5,000 - 10,000 gallons? -- Cheers!
for ever she is the best like no others ever
At 6:40 you have a CP Air 747-200 . Great vid . cheers .
she will always be the queen of the skys
I flew on the last ever 747 flight from San Francisco to Auckland in the Air New Zealand flight today. So sad flying on it today knowing it will never be in commercial flight
Hey, this is a great video, but when is the final version going to be ready?
for ever the queen of the sky's like no others
@92071551743 I just have a few seconds more which will appear in the final version.
@landman1973 ok, that one is way out of my league of expertise, landman1973. The heaviest 747 roll I've ever seen .. probably ate up 8000 ft at 'sea level' LAX on 25L. As for takeoff consumption..I'd pose that question on airliners net in their tech forum...I certain on eof those guys will have a dead on answer within 20 minutes of you posting it. Knowing me, I'd look at the cost of that much fuel and then turn..get a headache!
YES!!! The queen of the skies yay
That's just a taste of what is coming, the FULL line up of every 747 operator in history will be online by the end of the summer!
It was the Pan Am captain smoking a cigarette. That would have been in the early 1970's. I flew on a Pan Am 747 in 1973 and while waiting at the gate, I could see the captain in the cockpit smoking a cigarette
Michael Karpf ahh, memories!
@Giantcessna that particular one was a 747-127
i love the BOAC parts!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love them ages tic boac logo then British airways of the 1970s and the 1980s logo with royal crest on tail
@Starboard76 I see, oh well, so far this is the only footage I have found, and the strange thing is that they operated them from 1976 to 1994!
@Starboard76 Yep, there are about 4 videos of Avianca's 727, plus compilations of old footage of El Dorado airport, where you can see them along with many other Colombian carriers long gone.
Indeed it is! I will see what I can find.
Anyway, when can we expect that little piece of footage you told me earlier? Oh, and by the way, you don't have any footage of Avianca's MD-11? Its the rarest plane between Colombian carriers!
747 FOREVER!!!
You should do a video on the 747-8 it is the longest plane around
@EAMR262 very cool..thank you!
@tomcat561 Awesome dude..how did you track that down? Some online app?
Starboard76 hi guys while viewingWHEN747RULED ,did you cut out the full take-off, and approach n landing..I missed it tonight
Where is the SAS
@Starboard76, wouldn't you happen to have more footage of Avianca's 747?
Hey, were you going to make a complete series of 747 videos? You said you would do this in the description.
@hmasurg RJ was pure luck! Yes there will be Kaitak approaches and yes, my good man... there will be People Express 747 video!
@Starboard76 Ok I tried searching for this song on google and could not find a single site that would let me download it. Maybe my antivirus program is blocking the websites that would let me download it.
Plus nice video #747 lives on
It will be immortalized next month when the full series begins!
i will do so in a week. don't worry it will be great
Which music is this ?
Please send me the link
Here you are, So Much Love (classical instrumental) by Malaika -> th-cam.com/video/ayugWigYfRY/w-d-xo.html
Nice video and sweet beats

Today...
End of production.
I cry hard.
cost cut is most awful.
generation breaking is true progress.
I like the Braniff 747. Was that a -100 or -200?
