Cutting and Scrapping a B777 - Inside The Airplane Graveyard
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2020
- A few months ago, I visited an airplane graveyard at Victorville, Southern California Logistics Airport. There was a large amount of stored and retired airplanes, include a white Boeing 777 bought by Air Hollywood.
I am back to see how they cut the cockpit out of this B777, the cockpit cut is needed to bring it to Air Hollywood studio for a movie set. It is extremely interesting to see how the workers used a chain saw and fork lift to take out the B777 cockpit, in just over an hour. It is also interesting to see the bare interior of a B777. However, it is sad to see the plane without the cockpit. End of the line.
Don’t miss the next episode where I follow the cockpit to delivery at Air Hollywood. The owner gave me a behind the scenes tour on how Hollywood airplane movies are made inside Air Hollywood studio.
"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
That's a very straight cut on freehand, very impressive.
Iris Pettson Thought I saw a chalk or laser line when they were making the cut inside.
@@mmouseav8r402 That makes sense, I'd expect a laser on the equipment, but didn't see any.
There were lines drawn on the outside of the plane. Guide lines. But nice to see a straight cut using a heavy saw. I've used one and I'm a burly dude and I can tell you it ain't easy!
Those planes are so strong they can fly through buildings
What’s not impressive is is lack of a mask
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
Who has been waiting for Sam to post a new video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
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!
Same
I’m so excited for episode 2!
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!
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
"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 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
@@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
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!!!
The FX and animations on these videos do not go unnoticed. Just thought I’d say so. An incredible addition to the production value.
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
Can't wait for episode 2! The 'preview' was already very entertaining!
It’s amazing to see you alive with all the plane stuff
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.
"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
Love that you've made so many videos from my community at SCLA. As you know, you're always welcome here.
Wow! Incredible! Love you’re work! Such an amazing channel! The amount of work you put into you’re videos! Well done Sam!
Amazing, Sam! Can`t wait to see part 2!
Hey Sam, thanks for the entertainment even in this difficult times. #Staysafe :)
#StaySafe
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
Wow, Sam! Such a cool video! You always take us along on such interesting and diverse aviation experiences! Thanks for sharing!
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
I hope some great movies are filmed in that cockpit!
Mike is amazing with the cuts, skills
Now that's what i call a facelift! Great video Sam
Mike (the guy with the saw) has a very steady hand. Supreme cutting.
Mr SAM is the best , i liked your videos , GOD bless you.
It’s amazing how They do it and what happens
All Nippon Airways.
〜inspiration of japan〜
love it
I can’t wait for part 2!
First of all....the guy doing the cutting is amazing!!!
Sam thank you for all the incredible video's you post. :-)
Thanks Sam...great video as always !!
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.
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
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
#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.
I remember when the 777 came out. Damn, I'm getting old!
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
Sooo cool sam! Nice seeing abandoned planes!!👍👍
Thank you for such a great video!!
I Love Your Vids!
#StaySafe❤️
That cockpit part is every flight simmer's dream
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
Great video Sam, you don't get to see such detail, well done, I am enjoying your videos, thanks...
I really cannot wait for the next video!
What!?! There's no cockpit! Best line of the video.
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...
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!
Incredible video. Interesting but sad for me to watch. I flew on this plane when it was 9V-OTE with Scoot.
This was so interesting to watch and Sam I love your videos so much!
Dear Sam, you are so cool! Wow... great job! 💪🏻 Regards from Spain 🇪🇸
I’ve never imagined the day I witness the scraping of a 777 in my lifetime, first time i flew in one in the year 2000 on board of a Saudi airlines when I was 6 y/o it was also the first time i even get on a plane absolutely one of the best experiences in my life.
Since when they started scraping them anyway?
For some reason seeing the cockpit get taken off is kind of satisfying
Wow~ Impressive work!!
Sam, amazing!
What a stunning video... I wish I could go to the Air Hollywood Studio and become a neutral and overwhelmed passenger
That Air Hollywood place looks dope I really want to visit it
That’s so cool I didn’t know they cut it like that
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
Amazing!
Only you Sam, only you sir. Thanks and God bless.
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 :-)
I am here for work right now! Super cool place. I am actually on site as I am typing this lol.
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
Nice edit of the cutting
Fantastic video as always Sam! Can't wait to see what happens to the cockpit.
Do you think you could do a video with aviationtag some time?
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.
Awesome View Love from India..
We can expect the very best videos from Sam!
Merci beaucoup pour cette nouvelle vidéo 😉😷🇫🇷
Great video Sam, seems like you are having more time to add funky graphics and effects now.
Nice analysis
I, as a film grip, would love to have an in depth behind the scenes of Air Hollywood.
Man your show should come on discovery or National geography . Very Informative and interesting to watch. Love from India.
Awesome video 👌
very impressive , great video
Am a kid and I love your channel
Good Work! Appriciate You
Cool ; I used to campout with some buddies in the desert, just outside Victorville.
Deep inside that there is an IC (silicon chip if you like) that I worked on for a short time. I even remember the part number to this day, but had better not mention it. It had noise issues because it was so long in development that it got shrunk onto smaller geometries (faster) than the design was really intended for.
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.
7:21 The moment everybody is waiting for.
Wow Such A Good Video!!! Great Content Keep Up The Good Work
You are the best and will alway be the best
Coronavirus: ima close earth
Movie producer: ima buy a b777 for my movie
Thanks for sharing....
Awesome 👌👍❤️
I just found your channel and love the first class experiences I did not know existed. The airplane graveyards are impressive and I have a new found appreciation for airplanes and how they have changed the world.
Interesting thank you for sharing
Badass my next project is purchase 747-200, be safe mr Sam!
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.
"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
hey Sam. I'm wondering how do you get into the airport graveyard. After I saw your great video about Mojave airport. I went visited last week, and they aren't allowing any visitor in the field. Do you need some connecting to get in?
would love to see you shooting more video like these!!
thank you!!
Could you please make a video about LOT Polish Airlines in near future when the situation will be much better?
hey Sam who does your graphics and video recording? Who ever it is they do a great job! Keep up the great work!
Wow Sam I didn't notice that you hit over 2m followers! Congratulations!
great video............
4:56, Its called the aft pressure bulkhead, or aft pressure dome.
Thanks for an entertaining video. It is interesting to see what lies underneath the skin of an airplane.
How do you still keep making amazing videos Sam how do you do it? But seriously one word Wow 😯 well done 👍
Thanks Sam😊
