As much as I love airplanes, aircraft boneyards, and reading about airplane crashes, it's taken me a while to actually watch a plane being cut up like this. I really enjoyed this video!
Sam, as a retired 4 million miler (Mainly Oneworld) I would like to say that you are the only Vlogger I follow. The other people reviewing flights etc, do not come close to your expertise, emotion and passion. Keep up the great work and seeing you on all these flights makes me glad that aviation is now only a part of my vAcation lifestyle and not vOcation anymore...well done!!!
I thought it was going to be sad to see her scrapped, but it was cool to see how she will continue to serve a purpose. And can we talk about how skilled that guy was with the cuts? I can barely cut a straight line in a piece of paper with scissors!
I am always wondering what they are doing with the chairs when they recycle/destroy an airplane. I mean some of them are made from leather, and in general they require many resources.
They most likely won't reuse them, because the chairs on recycle planes, are from "old collection", but I bet they disassembled them, and reuse the resources?
@@ors1392 They might. I mean, this problem also needs to be dealt with when an airline upgrades the interiors of an aircraft. For example QATAR upgrading its Business Class, to QSuites and such.
@@OrSNCucumber the fabric is very coarse because it has to be fire resistant, as a result its not good for much and most of it goes to landfill unfortunately.
some companies will buy them for a small price. They can be reused as a seating area. for a (air) travel based companies and companies surrounding actual air travel.(near airport hotels) it might be nice to have a few to get the costumer in to the mood. they do tent to use just the economy seats above the higher end once.
@@sirBrouwer Correct. Therefore I was wondering what can be done with the premium classes seats, since I imagine each seat costs good few thousands of Dollars.
Agreed. It’s sad that so many planes had to be retired or grounded during this time. I was bummed when Air France retired its A380 fleet because I would never be able to experience it again
@@timpss9311 its not profitable for Air France, Emirates A380s were profitable because they have so many of them. They have the maintenance infrastructure and can buy parts in bulk.
The 717 was built after the merger (1998-2006) while the 777 started deliveries in 1995. There are 777s older than the oldest 717. And there are no MD series still flying with major operators (vast majority stored or scrapped), so while some of them lasted 30+ years, they are inefficient and tired by today’s standards.
@@aurktman1106 we are talking old air craft. the dc3 is flying to day. boeing has no plane that age flying today. the 737 max is efficient but they crash a lot
How sad. I know it’s a machine without a soul but when it was alive it protected and carried humans in comfort and safety to far flung corners of the world. Consider the effort that went into creating that machine.
Thannks sam. Keep flying. You are my paasion of flying. Ypu got me into aviation. Im thankful for that. Remember thia phrase. Keep calm and start flying
I was on the repair of a 747, line 1372. We cut the cockpit out of it, built a new -M in Kansas, installed it. 72 days round the clock. It's still flying. Pressure test damage in production.
Happy watching all your.vlogs thank.u.sir sam more power to.you..hope to.see you in the wing cx lounge hongkong...looking forward to see u I like ur vlogs really.made.my day
Sam keep on missing you Everytime you are in LA. Was just up at Victorville and San Bernardino days ago, but I only get to look from the property line before security chases me away from the fence. We need to do dimsum sometime.
Amazing places! I was quite suprised to see so many Martinair MD11's. It's not a very big airline, so to see so many of them in the dessert is quite... well a coincidence I guess :-)
Great video as always, Sam, once this is all over we’ll meet in the skies again. Stay safe until then. You’ve inspired me to start my own aviation TH-cam channel, I’ve tried some trip reports and flying videos out. I’d love some interaction. Stay safe, everyone
The makers of that power saw would make a great commercial for it with this video. *"DO YOU WANNA CUT YOUR WAY OUT OF A PLANE, GET YOURSELF THE 777 POWER SAW!"*

Prayers for those who died in an air crash in pakistan yesterday 😥😥
Yeah
Allah will save them
@@alirbx7385 Yes
Yeh
Pray for all of them
Sam, you should purchase a plane and convert it into a house. 😁
He’s not that rich calm down.
Yes aye
i think he should buy a a380.
@@jessacamtzw if he is not that rich how would he buy all this plane ticket.
@@rexkwok1878 not that that rich bro
The FX and animations on these videos do not go unnoticed. Just thought I’d say so. An incredible addition to the production value.

Who has been waiting for Sam to post a new video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This looks like a dangerous job. Respect to the guys doing the cutting.
Making big money comprises of danger
I would be wearing lots of sound protection, worried about hearing loss
"Dont do this at home"
Well there goes my plans of cutting up my 777 thats parked in the back yard.
Spoilsports! ☹️
I know man, my weekend has been ruined. What am I supposed to do with it now?
@@FordFan01 Try to get some money to move it, repair it, and fly it
you can do it at a mall
I think you could probably convert it into a house.

It is so good to see useless planes getting re-used.But so sad to see other planes on the ground because of Covid-19 or of age😞😞. #StaySafe

@@arnavreddy Omg, why did france Airways withdraw this type of aircraft !!
@@timpss9311 its not profitable for Air France, Emirates A380s were profitable because they have so many of them. They have the maintenance infrastructure and can buy parts in bulk.
The 747 (-400 models and up) didn’t deserved to be retired.
Don’t lie, Who’s been a fan of aviation? 😇

"717"s still in service and 777s being cut up. Amazing.
That is because Boeing could never build a good plane
The 717 was built after the merger (1998-2006) while the 777 started deliveries in 1995. There are 777s older than the oldest 717. And there are no MD series still flying with major operators (vast majority stored or scrapped), so while some of them lasted 30+ years, they are inefficient and tired by today’s standards.

@@aurktman1106 let me know if boeing has a plane as old as the dc3 flying to day. opp boeing dont because they build junk
@@dknowles60 lol
Mike (the guy with the saw) has a very steady hand. Supreme cutting.
"Don’t do this at home" believe it or not but I wasn’t gonna do it
xD
_LeTiti hi
_LeTiti yeh like we have airplanes😂😂
Nipple
I haven't got a B777 at home lol
What!?! There's no cockpit! Best line of the video.
For some reason seeing the cockpit get taken off is kind of satisfying
Can't wait for episode 2! The 'preview' was already very entertaining!
All Nippon Airways.
〜inspiration of japan〜
love it
its so good that someone is saving a plane ...so sad that no one can fly ...even sad that we cannot see more of your review videos of airlines
Hey Sam, thanks for the entertainment even in this difficult times. #Staysafe :)
#StaySafe
It's kinda sad to see one of my fave planes being chopped up lol
Alien Man next episode for u, chopping down a ufo
Same its really sad
Mike is amazing with the cuts, skills
How sad. I know it’s a machine without a soul but when it was alive it protected and carried humans in comfort and safety to far flung corners of the world. Consider the effort that went into creating that machine.
Am a kid and I love your channel
I am here for work right now! Super cool place. I am actually on site as I am typing this lol.
That cockpit part is every flight simmer's dream
Mr SAM is the best , i liked your videos , GOD bless you.
I remember when the 777 came out. Damn, I'm getting old!
I hope some great movies are filmed in that cockpit!
Lemme guess..
Ex-VIM Airlines VP-BVY?
Man your show should come on discovery or National geography . Very Informative and interesting to watch. Love from India.
Thannks sam. Keep flying. You are my paasion of flying. Ypu got me into aviation. Im thankful for that. Remember thia phrase. Keep calm and start flying
Nice edit of the cutting
Sam let's see the fuel tanks cut open let's see it. 👍
sunsetlights100 That’s a bright idea
@@mmouseav8r402 It could be a very bright idea...
What a stunning video... I wish I could go to the Air Hollywood Studio and become a neutral and overwhelmed passenger
I was on the repair of a 747, line 1372. We cut the cockpit out of it, built a new -M in Kansas, installed it. 72 days round the clock. It's still flying. Pressure test damage in production.
Love that you've made so many videos from my community at SCLA. As you know, you're always welcome here.
Now that's what i call a facelift! Great video Sam
So cool to see. I used to fly on the Scoot 777s quite a lot so was probably a passenger on this guy at some point!
It’s amazing to see you alive with all the plane stuff
Sad to see the striping and cutting of the aircraft but if it brings a second life of non flying days, it is still great to watch.
Wow! Incredible! Love you’re work! Such an amazing channel! The amount of work you put into you’re videos! Well done Sam!
First of all....the guy doing the cutting is amazing!!!
Sam thank you for all the incredible video's you post. :-)
Awesome View Love from India..
That Air Hollywood place looks dope I really want to visit it
Merci beaucoup pour cette nouvelle vidéo 😉😷🇫🇷
Wow, Sam! Such a cool video! You always take us along on such interesting and diverse aviation experiences! Thanks for sharing!
Great video Sam, you don't get to see such detail, well done, I am enjoying your videos, thanks...
Sooo cool sam! Nice seeing abandoned planes!!👍👍
Wow Such A Good Video!!! Great Content Keep Up The Good Work
I can’t wait for part 2!
Nice video it’s interesting seeing how they cut the aircraft. It would be so cool to have a yoke from a 777 or something in my bedroom
7:21 The moment everybody is waiting for.
Pretty good job cutting! Must must have nimble hands
It’s amazing how They do it and what happens
Wow, so cool. I work at a company that builds flight simulators and now i know how they cut these out and get delivered to to my place of work.
That’s so cool I didn’t know they cut it like that
Awesome video 👌
Great video Sam, seems like you are having more time to add funky graphics and effects now.
Wow Sam I didn't notice that you hit over 2m followers! Congratulations!
You are the best and will alway be the best
Thanks Sam...great video as always !!

Dear Sam, you are so cool! Wow... great job! 💪🏻 Regards from Spain 🇪🇸
We can expect the very best videos from Sam!
Amazing, Sam! Can`t wait to see part 2!
Good. To see that though U R grounded UR not out of detailing planes.
Sam keep on missing you Everytime you are in LA. Was just up at Victorville and San Bernardino days ago, but I only get to look from the property line before security chases me away from the fence. We need to do dimsum sometime.
Only you Sam, only you sir. Thanks and God bless.
日本の空を飛んでいた機体もいずれこうなるのか……。
Cool ; I used to campout with some buddies in the desert, just outside Victorville.
Wow~ Impressive work!!
Next idea: Unscrapping a 777 and refurbishing it
Nice analysis
Thank you for such a great video!!
Badass my next project is purchase 747-200, be safe mr Sam!
4:56, Its called the aft pressure bulkhead, or aft pressure dome.
Amazing places! I was quite suprised to see so many Martinair MD11's. It's not a very big airline, so to see so many of them in the dessert is quite... well a coincidence I guess :-)
Incredible video. Interesting but sad for me to watch. I flew on this plane when it was 9V-OTE with Scoot.
Great video as always, Sam, once this is all over we’ll meet in the skies again. Stay safe until then. You’ve inspired me to start my own aviation TH-cam channel, I’ve tried some trip reports and flying videos out. I’d love some interaction. Stay safe, everyone
Sam, I suggest you to buy an air Hollywood's refurbished aircraft cockpit and the 777 body to build a model aircraft wonderland
very impressive , great video
Thanks for the video.Great work Sam
We miss Aviation...frm 🇲🇾
Good Work! Appriciate You
Thanks for an entertaining video. It is interesting to see what lies underneath the skin of an airplane.
Great report! Greetings from Russia!
"Stay safe kids and dont do this at home"
thanks for reminding me, i was planning to to cut the head of a Boeing 777 park in my garage
4:34 what is the registration when it was formally under SQ & TZ ?
It should be 9V-SV_ or 9V-SQ_ series as this 2 registration formats are for 772er variants in SQ's fleet
great video............
Very nice video indeed!
Prayers for those who sacrificed themselves for this video
F for the 777s
The makers of that power saw would make a great commercial for it with this video.

Hi Sam , Great video. I hope you can take a picture of China Airlines Boeing 747 next time to fulfill my little wish
good luck sam
This was so interesting to watch and Sam I love your videos so much!
