Sterlingjob with that logic Joe would address every issue with “go to college, get about 200+ undergraduate hours under your belt and then obtain certification for more certifications. U need a book to distinguish Boeing from Abus? It’s a C-130! Oh, it’s a Cessna...planes are not hard to categorize
MackP you obviously know that I was abbreviated (for the purpose of typing fewer letters). I don’t see what you’re point is. I don’t think it is a mock because you make it known that you knew I meant Airbus...so the abbreviation served its purpose. You said “tech firm”. I think if you are going for condescending then you look foolish. Going by your initial comment, I’m guessing that you are going for a “smart ass” jibe? I will give you the first one but you missed the mark with this one. You make clear that you knew Abus was what Boeing was being compared to. But ok; different strokes for different folks. You can’t force it though
I have always loved the 747. I finally got to see one in real life (my home airport is too small for a 747) in SLC. It was a Lufthansa 747-8. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
My father worked first on the SST, and then on the 747 project. As a child, I wasn't able to to appreciate the significance of the design, nor the way the 747 would transform the airline industry. I just knew when I saw one that it was "my Daddy's plane." Unfortunately, I was only able to fly on one twice. When the end of the 747 production came, and the last one rolled out of the Everett Boeing plan, I think many of us felt genuine grief, as though we were losing a friend. I don't work in the airline industry, nor am I a pilot, but I just LOVE planes. I enjoy these videos and am gaining more understanding of how so many things have to come together to get us from point A to point B! Thank you Captain Joe.
Hi Joe,worked at a ground handling company in BARBADOS in 2000 until 2001. CARGO LUX always stopped for fuel. next time that you feature your 747, please remember to shout out to BARBADOS, ALSO KNOWN AS (BIM) and all of your fans here in BARBADOS, ESPECIALLY ROBIN. THANKS AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
That Hump helped the first class passengers getting as much smalltalk, drinks and cigars as they were used in those days. I had the honour to be part of that feeling in the late 70s before they changed it. I only got in trouble taking my cuba libre into the cockpit on the jump seat... pilots told me to piss off and come back without alc :-)
I love this iconic aircraft! Sadly, some airlines are retiring them but they will be still the Queen of Skies forever! Hope I will ride one of these planes one day! Btw I love your vids!
I recently watched a video on TV of a 747 being scrapped. Broke my heart to see that big, beautiful airplane being flown-in and landed, and eventually hauled away in trucks as shredded aluminum. I once visited the Boeing plant at Payne Field in Mukilteo, Washington where the plane is built. You get a special love for that plane when you see a line of them in various stages of assembly. Absolutely amazing! As it nears completion, they finish it with the airframe under stress by hanging ten-thousand pound blocks of concrete from the engine stanchions to simulate the weight of the engines. Weirdest thing I've ever seen!
I have flown in klm PH-BFR in seat 35A and now part of the plane is with captain Joe. that was rio de Janeiro and that was my plane to LAX in the summer of 2017. also it was the First time I ever flown and loved it and I still dream about that flight sometimes.
8:50 Joe: she will stay in service at least until 2035 Me (watching this in 2021 and knowing that Boeing 747 and Airbus a380 have been discontinued): 14 years early
Hey Joe! You probably won't see this but I'll give it a shot. I've only ever been on a plane twice (to and from my first holiday abroad a few years ago) and I'm going on holiday again on Wednesday, which means more flying. I got one of your Captain Joe logo t-shirts specifically for going to the airport and I can't wait to wear it and show it off😂 I love your videos, keep being awesome :)
That Captain Joe t-shirt will look great passing through the airport! Wouldn't it be cool if someone walked up to you while you were there and said, "Hey, I watch Captain Joe too, he's great"! I wish you a very enjoyable couple of flights, I absolutely love flying myself. ☺️
The engine is certainly running! What you see that look like fan blades not spinning are actually the inlet guide vanes that direct airflow into the proper orientation. The first stage fan blades are actually behind the IGV's and are a bit hard to see from inside the plane. Look up some information on the JT8D engines and you'll see what I'm referring to. Great question!
My mother worked for the Boeing SST program until it was canceled and everyone were pink slipped. She left Boeing and went to work for the U of W for the rest of her life. She died of cancer at the age of 46. She never had a bad word to say about Boeing or the old man. Just the SST program employed far too many and the 747 could only take in a few folks at the Everett plant. She did not wish to drive all that way from Seattle since the roads were still being worked on I5.
I flew from NYC (JFK) to Israel via Paris in 1986 in a 747. I got to see the Concord take off from Phila. International once. It didn't usually fly into Philly and I just happened to be there one of the rare times it did.
Hi Joe ! I love the 747 aircraft , my first flight was. Pan Am 747 from Frankfurt to New York . In 1986 , Dec . After that I fell in love with 747 Air craft . Thanks again for the you tube shows . I am glad to see your shows .
@@christopherplays4931 Who knows? Maybe you'll take a vacation sometime in the future. They'll still be around for a long while. And even if you don't get to see one in action, a plane type with this much clout is DEFINITELY going into some flight museums. Keep doin' what you're doin', and you'll get to see one eventually.
It's more or less the same for me, my favourite two planes are the 747 and the "Connie", but for me the two of them switch places at 1st and 2nd place.
I flew upstairs in "business class" on Continental in 91. LAX to Honolulu and then to Brisbane. On the way back, I used miles to upgrade to 1st on the Sydney to Honolulu leg. It was nice but more than I needed. International Business is today's domestic first class. Went for the Indy car race.
I am fascinated by airplanes and believe in my past life I was a decorated military pilot, but in my current life I am scared to death of heights and can’t even fly on a ski lift. 🤨
I'm very nervous of heights too, but for whatever reason, I feel very safe in an airplane, even in turbulence etc. I think it's because I've obsessively learned so much about aircraft over the past 15 years or so, through books and Captain Joe type videos. The more I've learned, the more reliable and safe they feel. And of course, in the right skilled hands, even very serious situations can have a positive outcome.
When you see those slides from the upper deck, you'll go "Oh hell no!" Ive seen several deployed and even with the plane on fire many would contemplate burning to death before sliding to safety on one of those.
Last year my wife and I finally flew in a KLM 747-400. It was such a great experience. I used to watch the first 747s fly over from my Grandmother's kitchen window close to Amsterdam in the late 60s? and early 70s for sure.
My dad works for atlas air and flew the 747 Dream lifter for a while. It's like the 747 except instead of the cockpick having a bubble, the ENTIRE cabin is over sized. Looks hilarious and like it shouldn't be in the sky. Look some photos up if you're unfamiliar
Never forget standing along rwy 12L in TUS AZ. In early 70’s with friends watching Lufthansa B-747 training crews doing touch and go’s. At the time there were no other wide body airliners so it was unbelievable. When it wass on final approach we wondered how it managed to stay airborne. Beautiful.
I don't think the 747 era will end. There's still a freighter version of the plane. I just hope it will be the A380 era that will end. I only liked it once, but the beauty of the 747 inspired me. I just hope the passenger version won't end. I really will miss the plane. And BTW, congrats for having 1M subscribers including me.
I m a girl who always dreams to become a doctor... but later captain joe inspire me to become a pilot.... To captain joe i would like to say keep doing well and inspire many people around the world Regards from maldives🌴🌴
Another great video Joe I find it hard to believe when we talk about the number of 747,s manufactured as 1500 . Looking at the number of bomber aircraft manufactured just in america during WW2 in a few years was upwards of 20000 . The mind boggles at the ability of the aero industry and mass production techniques that built all those aircraft back in the early to mid forties.
I flew on a 747 a couple of times, in the rear cheap seats. The 777 may be more a bit more comfortable, but it was still cool to ride on piece of history. I'm glad I was able to do it.
I enjoyed the history lesson in the underdog-to-legendary story of "The Queen of the Skies". I hope that whatever Boeing makes to replace her that that plane is worthy of the task of taking over for the 747.
747 is a beautiful plane,.............the A-380 just looks like an overstuffed sausage, no eye appeal there ! Given a choice, I'll pick the 747 every time.
@@richardlewis7471 The hump is what sets the 747 apart from all the others. It just adds to the beauty but that's just my opinion. Queen of the sky's should be beautiful, right? The 747 has always reminded me of a sea gull. Just the way it looks on the ground with the landing gear down and the tugs moving it about. I always wanted a flight on a 747 and on one occasion the flight was listed as either 747 or DC-10. Turned out to be the 10. 😢

747 Era will not end. Even if the passenger version of 747 retires, the 747 freighter will still continue to fly
Yep. At least, for 35 years more. And after that, it will became as a signature plane for luxury flights.
It will, It might take decades, but it certainly will disappear at some point
Given that we still have Douglas DC-3s flying in parts of the world, I wouldn't hold my breath on the 747 going anywhere.
We need a 2 engined Boeing 747 for fuel efficiency; that way it will remain competitive with the rest; that way the 747 will be around for a while.

The engine is certainly running! What you see that look like fan blades not spinning are actually the inlet guide vanes that direct airflow into the proper orientation.

A380:747 why do you have a hump?
747:i don't know why I have it
I flew on a lufthansa 747 over the summer, i will never forget it, it was so nice compared to any other plane i’ve been in
Also who doesn't love a plane with the title: Queen of the skies?
Could you do a video on the emergency slides how they deploy etc? Be quite interesting. Could use your beloved and my favourite A320??
Connor I‘m looking into that!!!
Captain Joe amazing - thanks! No rush your content is always amazing.
When you see those slides from the upper deck, you'll go "Oh hell no!"
Ive seen several deployed and even with the plane on fire many would contemplate burning to death before sliding to safety on one of those.
Pilots: Why does this plane has a hump?
Husbands: *WHY DOES MY WIFE HAVE A HUMP?*
That pan am commercial was amazing
I believe that iconic sights of Air Force One in many movies/documentaries also help to build the image of 747
Why does the 747 have a hump? It got hump ed by a giant😂I am turning 13 in 2nd Augast love your vids captain joe.....I lo e your morning routine😆
I have never had the opportunity to peer out a 747 window. This would certainly solve that life long issue!
Last year my wife and I finally flew in a KLM 747-400. It was such a great experience. I used to watch the first 747s fly over from my Grandmother's kitchen window close to Amsterdam in the late 60s? and early 70s for sure.
Always learn something cool best wishes from pakistan
Boeing: -trades with concorde-
Concorde and boeing: THIS IS THE QUICKEST AND MOST EFFICENT CAPACITY
Good morning captain Joe.may GOD bless you,M Iqbal from USA Baltimore. I love your videos,thanks I am not educated but I love English
My name is like 100% suitable for this video
My dad works for atlas air and flew the 747 Dream lifter for a while. It's like the 747 except instead of the cockpick having a bubble, the ENTIRE cabin is over sized. Looks hilarious and like it shouldn't be in the sky. Look some photos up if you're unfamiliar
Never forget standing along rwy 12L in TUS AZ. In early 70’s with friends watching Lufthansa B-747 training crews doing touch and go’s. At the time there were no other wide body airliners so it was unbelievable. When it wass on final approach we wondered how it managed to stay airborne. Beautiful.
Let's not forget about the most famous 747 - Air Force One (the U.S. President's plane).
I would like to see you opening the youtube play button.I just love your channel.

Finally an aviation video on an aviation channel. Sorry Phillips.
I don't think the 747 era will end. There's still a freighter version of the plane. I just hope it will be the A380 era that will end. I only liked it once, but the beauty of the 747 inspired me. I just hope the passenger version won't end. I really will miss the plane. And BTW, congrats for having 1M subscribers including me.
Just me or was the audio a bit low?
Otherwise good video.
The 747 should never be retired. Even with advanced technology like 777x
747x anyone
I m a girl who always dreams to become a doctor... but later captain joe inspire me to become a pilot....
To captain joe i would like to say keep doing well and inspire many people around the world

Another great video Joe I find it hard to believe when we talk about the number of 747,s manufactured as 1500 . Looking at the number of bomber aircraft manufactured just in america during WW2 in a few years was upwards of 20000 . The mind boggles at the ability of the aero industry and mass production techniques that built all those aircraft back in the early to mid forties.
I flew on a 747 a couple of times, in the rear cheap seats. The 777 may be more a bit more comfortable, but it was still cool to ride on piece of history. I'm glad I was able to do it.
I enjoyed the history lesson in the underdog-to-legendary story of "The Queen of the Skies". I hope that whatever Boeing makes to replace her that that plane is worthy of the task of taking over for the 747.
747 is a beautiful plane,.............the A-380 just looks like an overstuffed sausage, no eye appeal there !
Given a choice, I'll pick the 747 every time.
The A380 reminds me of a moray eel. Should’ve copied the 747 hump.

The hump is what sets the 747 apart from all the others. It just adds to the beauty but that's just my opinion. Queen of the sky's should be beautiful, right?
The 747 has always reminded me of a sea gull. Just the way it looks on the ground with the landing gear down and the tugs moving it about.
I always wanted a flight on a 747 and on one occasion the flight was listed as either 747 or DC-10. Turned out to be the 10. 😢
747 *exists*
