That was great! I had no idea United had 747SPs. It was nice to see Varig. I miss them. My highlight was the Continental 747. Brilliant! Thanks for the video.
Qantas koala: “I ..hate ..Qantas “. So cute. I forgot what his beef was, but a memorable ad. Koala didn’t want visitors to Aussie land? Other memorable ad was western airlines, “ the onnnly way to fly”. With the bird perched on tail of plane, drinking champagne. Ah, yes.

Absolutely stunning footage! Those Queens were so impressive! Thanks so much!
Agreed! Just awesome. My favorite TWA bird.
Outstanding video. How I wish there were HD cameras back then.
Back before all the crazy madness set in. Thanks for an idyllic video. A much-needed respite.
TWA 747-100 the grandfather 😎
So much more fun than current day videos. All the quad jets! Thank you for posting!!!
Great seeing the Then TE Air New Zealand 747-219B which I travelled on as a child in 1986 from AKL via HNL to LAX and onwards to LHR on BA 747-236
This has to be 1989, BA received its first 747-400 on 6/30/89 and the first flight was on 7/27/89 LHR-PHL-PIT.
Indeed. I was at Heathrow on 21/07/89 to see the simulatenous arrival of both G-BNLA and BNLC
Back when airliners had interesting liveries.
I loved JAL'S livery and Air New Zealand's as well oh and BA's was the best in BA history
That was great! I had no idea United had 747SPs. It was nice to see Varig. I miss them. My highlight was the Continental 747. Brilliant!
Thanks for the video.
The sp s came from Pan Am and Braniff.
I like how the Qantas livery hasn't changed, simple and timeless after all these years.
Philippine Airlines' current exact scheme/livery is pushing 40 years now lol... And they were founded more than 83 years ago!

I wasn’t expecting this video to consist exclusively of 747s.

That TWA landed at a strange angle.
Great video. I just wish there was more 747s
And another fantastic video from the past thank you again for sharing this with us!!!
British Airways and the brand new B747-400!!
Lump after lump after lump. Lumps galore. The absolute glory days. Boring 777s now. Great video.
Thank you for sharing these priceless video!
2:57 o Boeing 747 da saudosa Varig. Nessa época, o 747 era presença marcante nas rotas internacionais.
That's a whole lot of 747's
There are 2 747-400 British and Cathay. Didn't know they were already flying in 88. Thought they came in 89-90 only.
Yes BA took delivery of its first 744 in July 1989
Northwest Cargo’s 747 nose! First time I see it!
The video is not from 1988. BA and CX introduced the 747-400 in 1989, same year that Fedex acquired Flying Tigers
R.I.P. PAN AM, TWA, CONTINENTAL and VARIG...victims of mismanagement and the era.
Olympic,Sabena,Swissair as well ;)
Impossible that's 1988. The 747-400 did not enter service until early 1989.
Correct
Plus Cathay Pacific did not start the LAX route until 1990
Como é linda a saudosa Varig💙🇧🇷
4:34Nice shot with the United DC-10 and KAL 747 landing and taking off in the background

diffrent planes, so many 747s so many cool liveries...now evrything looks the same, only 737 and 320...sigh
Must be late 1989. British Airways didn't get its first 747-400 until July of that year. Cathay Pacific got its first 747-400 not long after.
What is that "clicking" sound in some of the video/ audio?
was that qantas 747 getting parted out in the hanger? why was it so dirty and the hump was red and half the body gray?
Looks like 1989 or 1990 as British Airways took delivery of its first Boeing 747-436's in July 1989
That UA was a SP.
What day in 1988 was this filmed?
It was in 1989 it was filmed
I saw a 1990 model VW Rabbit. This had to have been fall of 1989. Regardless, it's a great video.
CHOICE!!!
That BA 747-200 8:25seemed to be comin' in very fast
would have loved to see more of the other types instead of all 747s
747SP
See people those were the days ...where liveries and planes looked cool ..how bout UNITED huh? not that stupid color scheme they have now
My office was at the 2nd floor of the Gateway Cargo building next to where is been filmed.
(Taca employee) 88-94
What is the model of airplane about UA??
Didn't Korean airline operate at that time??
yes they did
