I really like the French guy. He is so excited to show off this plane & really trying to convey all he wants to say in English.
His enthusiasm and pride for the French airliner is awesome.
Thank you men !
I know we are famous for our acent 😂
@@tristan.h5099 That applies to Germans as well. I asusme the visitor talking in the Background is German... ;-)
And he has a sexy accent and is cute!
His english is catastrophic, but you can feel the true passion !
I can't believe how good the interior still looks. A plane built in 1968, flown for 27 years until 1995, and sitting outside untouched for 24 years after being parked, and the inside still looks good.
I feel nostalgic, I’m 51 years old like this Caravelle I grow up watching them to fly, The golden age era never will come back 😭
Special feeling for me as an airline pilot and son . My father flew this very exact Caravelle as a pilot with Sterling back in the 1970s. Amazing! I must go and see it after restoration in the future......
The good old days when passengers were treated as humans and not sardines in a can. So much leg room in economy class. 👍
That was long before the SOB's got so freakin' GREEDY! I refuse to fly anymore because of the lack of legroom and also the stinkin' hassle of just trying to get on board a plane these days. If I can't drive to my destination then I DON'T go, period!
@@richardcline1337 Back then the price of the flight was also 10x the today's price. You can even fly for 50$ or less today. They put more seats in, so they can lower the price per passenger, consequently offering less leg space. You can always fly first class and have all the legroom you want if you are spoiled. "Only 5.000$ per flight.
Yes. And you paid 10 times the fare .... you choose ....
TM Tenn Customer is King...... or Queen....
Governments should set an international aviation rule specifying what the minimum legroom, seat width, and aisle width should be, putting health and safety above everything else.
And if that means airliners have 1/3rd fewer seats, and economy class tickets triple in price, so be it.
Very Interesting, Thank you for posting. My memories are of Toulouse-Blagnac, I stopped there for refueling in 1966 or 67. The airport was as beautiful as the Caravelle. No-one can ever deny that the French people have style.
Ahhh..la finesse, l'elegance, le charme...La Crème Caravelle! Voila'!!!
There’s more leg space in those economy seats, than some business class seats offer.
How far the we’ve fallen. 🤦♂️
nah.....compare ticket prices
Eccept they werent 'economy seats', compare costs and youll see these were equivelent to business class today.
Only going to fall further. Just wait and see.
Profits are better! Repeat after me..... Profits are..
For 60 bucks u had the best nap on a flight
My first flight Amsterdam - Lyon in 1969 to my grandma , 6 years old and never forget the Caravelle what a beauty.
Protector H i bet as soon as u got to altitude it was time to come back down but must of been an amazing experience for a young boy. I never got to fly until I was 17 when I joined the UK 🇬🇧 Army n I had no idea what to expect but I tried to play it cool 😎, not sure if it worked lol. I’ve always been an aviation but the strange thing is that I was terrified of flying until I got to the age of around 40 n something just clicked n now I’m ok but still a bit nervous. I always got on the planes n just stayed quiet but inside I was actually terrified, more terrified than what was waiting for us when we went to various war zones. I think it was a control issue. Not being able to do anything if something went wrong, basically stuck in a metal cigar tube waiting to hit the ground 🙈. But like I said I’ve gotten over most of that now.
It was a Boeing 707 from Germany to JFK for me. I was barely six years old, the plane took off, it went "straight up" and my mother was crying.
at 6yrs old you remember how beautiful it was. You are so full of shit
@@6530517 I was 6 years old on a TWA 747 from Seoul to Chicago which I remember it clearly, both the plane and the trip. There are moments in life that's difficult to forget. Also, some of our brains retain memories better than others so it's quite possible that Protector H remembers that moment very well.
@@captainjoon agree that's a big deal for a little kid
Normally closed for public we had the chance to visit this 24 years sleeping Caravelle Super 10B in original condition. It's stored near the french airport Toulouse-Blagnac in a aviation museum waiting for restoration!
Videospotter - Planes & Travel there is a plane like this in Tucson Arizona.
Waiting for restoration?????
Dont tell me they gonna put this thing back in service?????
@@tony2227no. I think they'll put it in the Toulouse Aviation Museum and open it for public visitors.
I hope it gets restored, they are beautiful airplanes!!
Waiting for restoration?? How many years more does it has to wait?? Hopefully it,ll be done this century!! What a beautiful Machine !!!
WOW! The legroom is astounding. That'll never happen again. Beautiful aircraft.
by the exit. moron
Yup, a modern version of that cabin would probably have close to 1.5x the seating capacity.
Jerome Gilbert It could. People are too passive and let these companies bully them! Car companies make crappy vehicles, designed obsolescence. No room on flights and crappy service with less amenities. People need to fight back!
@@carlrest6553 It won't happen. Airlines need to make money to stay in business and the real cost of flying is way way cheaper than it was 30 or 40 years ago. Not sure what you mean by 'less amenities', the in-flight entertainment is pretty good these days.
I remember this pretty girl. Flew on her type many times. She was retired from service 24 years ago but her true age is 51 years. Almost all ex French colonies had them in their fleets. Goodbye Golden age of aviation. We really miss you.
Cool! The "tear drop" shaped windows. So elegant... And functional...
So 70s, I had a van with those back then.... Ew
That the french for you, always busting their ass to make something "FANCY"!
The internal condition of the plane is amazing. I hope it gets the external renovation that it deserves. A real piece of aviation history and so intact. Excellent.
777 pilot here.The first thing I noticed was all the leg room for the passengers. Thank you for the video !
My first plane flight was in 1967, on a Caravelle. I don’t recall the airline, but the flight was from Milwaukee to Cleveland. It was a thrill I’ll never forget.
absolutely love, love, love those almost triangular windows!.....those frenchy's sure have some flair!!!
That was basically because the fuselage was a Comet fuselage and the original windows for that had been rectangular, which gave rise to structural failure of the fuselage, with catastrophic results in flight.
Water drop shaped windows.
5:52 I love the shape of the gauge face on the control panel next to the exit-it’s almost the same as the windows.
I wish I could smell the inside of that plane! I’m sure it’s a great vintage aroma!
Yes it is! Like in the good old times.
The scene at 02:10 immediately brought back memories of climbing those airstairs in 1961 with my mom. I am positive it was a Caravelle even though I was an infant, because it was the only airliner back then with such airstairs.
Many thanks for posting this very cool video of this amazing airplane. And for bringing back very fond memories.
I seem to remember the DC9 having the same airstairs. Was it not one jumping out of one using these stairs?
@@perbertelsen2860 Yes, but the flight I recall was in 1961, the DC-9 was not flying yet.
@@perbertelsen2860, in 1963 Boeing came out with the same tail stairs on the tri-jet 727. I used to fly on 727 mail-cargo many times during the month on schedule and was responsible for mail documentation and critical mail. We did not have internet then, not even in a dream, so letters and else had to "travel". I was the one to open the huge cargo door on the side of the fuselage, receive the cargo (pallets), sign doc's, etc. The jump seat behind the captain was my seat. We used to make those flights in the wee hours and with four people in the cockpit and the rest of that tube with cargo to the brim it was as fun as hell, literally. The best nights were when we had to fly thru bad (tropical-Brasil) weather with the windshield covered with Saint Elmo's fire while lightning and thunderbolts would illuminate our way thru the clouds. It was an adrenaline trip hard to forget.
Just a little "clearance" about my personal 'adventure'. Boeing 727 came to fly first in 1963 but my 'history' happened between 1974/79.
Boeing 727 also had those airstairs, but they stopped using them around 1978 because of the threat of hijacking.
Wow! Really nice that they haven't trashed the interior by filling it up with crap as so many museums tend to do. Hopefully they will have the funds to restore it soon. I really liked the enthusiasm of the museum guide.
Very nice. The Caravelle was the first plane I ever travelled on. July 1971, AMS-LIS.
most beautiful and very powerful bird...when I was a child I enjoyed so much those engines when ready to take off. Splendid design!
The tear drop shaped windows are amazing
Aerolineas Argentinas took me across my country in the 60.on this beautiful aircraft. From Buenos Aires thanks Sud Aviation.
ESTE? /// THIS ONE?
i.pinimg.com/originals/6e/6d/21/6e6d211229f2a803baca71a76ce6e9b9.jpg
Luv, luv, luv those windows. They really gave the plane a different dimension. So does the DC-3-esq tail.
Thank you for sharing. I like your tour guide. He seems like a true airplane lover. That is a real time capsule.
What. A. Beauty.
Very pleased to know that she will be restored.
Sehr interessante Einblicke in das Flugzeug, ungewöhnlich die Fensterform. Daumen hoch! Gruss inselvideo!
I was surprised to see it look so nice inside after 24 years being stationary. When I was a kid, I was wanted to be a pilot. I can remember being on them when's they had propellers & were noisy. At 67, I've become more nervous about flying, but I still love planes & enjoy watching them take off & land.
Amazingly every Seat row has its own window! Incredible!
Amazing to find a in-tact non-gutted example! That is a rarity in itself!! As soon as we park an airplane, we take all of the serviceable parts as possible off for spares for the rest of our fleet. Again, AMAZING example of what you would normally NOT find on a decommissioned airframe.
Just a lovely airplane. Love the leg room ✈️✈️✈️✈️
One of the most beautiful commercial airplanes ever!
Wow it's beautiful and in great condition too ,very nice, thank you for posting.
I was a passenger on a Caravelle in the 60's. Called the whispering giant as known for quieter ride. Oh memories. She's old, I'm old but still in working order! Just...😊
Indeed It's a BEAUTY
WOW! What a great video! I found an old photo (1960's) of me as a baby with my dad next to me holding a Caravelle Super flight bag!
I have travelled on this plane when I was small in Goa Bombay flight
The most beautiful jetliner! To go inside one of these airplanes is a real treat. The Fire Department at the airport in Columbus, Ohio, were very kind to let me inside their (ex-United and Airborne Express) example. Even though the passenger cabin was stripped out (unlike the Toulouse piece), being inside the plane left me breathless. The Caravelle was a true pioneer; even though it was quickly obsolete, the beautiful design has endured.
More space for your legs those days
First thing I noticed when they started passed the seats!! Wow.
@@markoverman9628 Yea, passengers were not obese then.
@@QuantumRiftway back when obesity was a privilege and most of us still had legs.
Those aircrafts was built when engineers are taking the lead caring of passengers satisfaction, not like those days when finance people are caring of profits only 😢
@@_insan_
They cared about profit then too. You are missing something.
What a beautiful, elegant and noble bird!.. Such birds should always fly
Loved this. Would love to see her in person someday. Thank you so much for sharing with us
Merci pour ce vidéo.
La Caravelle avait été mon premier vol "jet". Avant c'étaient les DC3 et DC4.
Quelle merveille.
The first thing I remembered was the room with that seat configuration. Today’s seating no matter what your size it’s miserable; I guess the next step will be subway seats with overhead grab rails to cram us in like cattle. Great video of yesteryears!
I’ve always loved the Caravelle, such a beautiful aircraft. It would be great if this one could be restored to airworthiness so there would be at least one flying example. Curious what condition the engines are in....
Sud Aviation today belongs to Airbus, and Airbus rejected the airworthiness certificate of this type, so it will be very hard to get one flying, because of legal problems.
Where was the Caravelle made?
I remember travelling in a Finnair Caravelle in 1972 it was on of smoothest and comfortable rides I have had in an aeroplane
Thanks for presenting this beautiful trip back in time.
She is a beautiful airplane as a child I flew with my father in one of those on a Avensa Airlines in Venezuela.
It was like boarding a spaceship,and it was at that time,and still today one of the most elegant and streamline airliner I have had the pleasure of being on.
So advanced , despite the year! beautiful! good times.
I absolutely love this place. I visited it, twice, in 2017. Superb!
The Sud Aviation Caravelle was a beautiful jet...
wow ... the interior views really gave me some flashbacks .. my very first flight was with a caravelle in the early 80s, i was 4 or 5 years old. FRA-LYS-TLS and back .. almost last row, right window seat. the engine was just next to me, and i found it sounded surprisingly similar to our vacuum cleaner......
i also remember our easter holidays in tunisia 1989, the hotel had a very large garden/park and behind some trees there was an abandoned tunis air caravelle ... oO ... it served as a playground for kids, you could actually climb inside etc.... ;)
Such a pristine condition airplane,oval windows are unique and rich history of this aircraft.The nose looks like 787 Dreamliner.
5:07 Reminds me of the movie Airplane when Ted Stryker first went into the airliner cockpit to take over the controls, camera panned over an unending panel of dials & switches.
Very logical and simple layout...
Far simpler that it first appears 👍
I love the nose profile and the teardrop windows. Somehow looks more modern than a modern jet.
Thank you for a very nice tour of the Sud Caravelle. A pretty plane, looks to be in pretty good shape too. Never got to see one of these fly; I have heard the Caravelle was one of the noisiest airliners around.The elevator placement reminds me of a Sud Vautour or a Super Mystere. And the window shape-best combination of see through-ability and keeping the windows intact throughout God knows how many pressurization cycles throughout the life of the plane. You see this distinctive and sexy looking airliner (yes planes can be sexy) and you see today's frumpy, harsh riding Airbuses.The caravelle was built in a different time; I can imagine the machine work and construction quality are light years ahead of today's airliners. What a shame- I'd love to fly in a Caravelle!
You can't be more wrong about de noise my friend. Flying in this plane was smooth, vibration free and so fucking quiet
Had the pleasure of flying in Caravelle in the early 70s. on MAA CCU sectors a number of times. Very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the flights.
One lady owner, only ever flown to church on Sundays 😂😂😂
Don't forget bingo on Friday nights
jezza - and the supermarket on Wednesdays.
Fantastic. It will be great to see this again completely restored!!
Wow..Such a Shape✨✨
Thats a plane crying out for a quality resto and to fly again if possible those tear drop windows are class :)
Flew in this plane from Cork to Toulouse around 1993 . Was going skiing in Andorra. Remember sitting in the seats which face each other. Went back to Andorra the next year. Again flew with Air Toulouse but this time they used a very old 737.
Some of first rides (military stand by) on commercial jets was on a Caravelle - Milwaukee to Washington National. The climb-out looked like 45° from my window seat. It was all first class, and I was served a fillet. Those were the days (-:
Man I'd love to get a chance to get on the restoration team for that and be able to turn a wrench on it. So much history. I'm a sucker for old aircraft.
WOW!!! Restore it!! Wonderful! People would pay to fly in it..including me...
Mark Himmler & me... I think joy rides out of Las Vegas to ? Anywhere... have lunch & back to Las Vegas would be so cool. Or use as regular plane service to Los Angeles? It would make the trip here fun, throw in an Old 707, I think Saha Air was still flying 707 a few years ago just like it was 1968. How about a 727, de Havilin
Comet4, a super constellation, even DC 4,5 or 6, -- lots if old planes would add to the Fun of L.A. or Phoenix, San Francisco, Salt Lake City.
The oddly shaped windows are really cool.
A full interior. They still have the headrest covers! Didn't expect that.
Still paper towels in the restroom.
i enjoyed this, in early 70's i used to watch aircraft at Manchester and saw Air France Caravelles,Lufthansa 737 British BAC 1-11 and Trident. i actually went to New york on Freddie Laker's DC10 skytrain and a vickers vicount from Liverpool speke to isle of man, happy days and wonderful Aircraft.
Beautiful! Thank you for the tour of an amazing Lady, The Caravelle Super 10B.. Hope they are able to begin restoration very soon!
I had a had maybe two rides in 1969 on one of those. WOW! what a experience! I had a window seat, and it looked like the horizon was 45° or more as we took off from Milwaukee KMKE for what was then Washington National airport. I was flying military standby, and I think once I paid full fare which was 1st class. Fillet mignon and an hour and a half to D.C. Sweet memories. Other rides on the MKE to DC trip was on the Viscount turboprop those were equally memorable as well.
I like those windows, they give the plane a distinctive look.
Sterling was the first airline operating this plane. As a kid I travelled from Billund to Palma de Mallorca in one of these. It was my first flight.
Very sexy aircraft, I hope she was restored to airworthiness! The rear exit remind me of the story of DB Cooper high jacking. Thanks for sharing
Rear exit reminds me of Obama's grand arrival in China.
I flew on this very aircraft in 1992 to Bordeaux from Blagnac a beautiful plane thanks for sharing :) I should send photos to the museum at Toulouse !
The airplane’s history makes me remember of a Danish song from 1967. In one verse the text goes (translated):
"Every Sunday the priest meets at 10 AM
There he is alone and abandoned without an audience because
On Saturday everyone in Tjæreborg (a city) went to the dance
What does a priest do in such a situation?
He drags the entire congregation to Mallorca in the Caravelle
So he’ll earn on the swings what he has lost on the carousel
"
The priest mentioned started a travelling agency, Tjæreborg Traveling, in 1950, and in 1962 he founded Sterling Airways, first owner 7:46 of this Caravelle OY-STE in 1968.
Now that these planes have long since reached the end of their useful life in the air, one can really appreciate every nut, bolt, electronics, hours of construction, pilots & crew skill, etc. that made it possible to safely transport countless passengers to their destinations all over the world. Talk about Service to Humanity - we are truly Blessed. Thank You.
love the legroom and shaped windows..
I am amazed that the interior of the aircraft is in such good shape. Closed up for all those years I would have expected mold, fading, etc.
The quality of the interior is amazing.
I flew in an Air France Caravelle from Heathrow to Ajaccio (Corsica) in 1976. I also built one from an Airfix plastic kit in the 1960s. The Airfix notes explained that although the aircraft had only 2 engines, it could glide for 200 miles with both engines out. I also have a vague memory that the toilets may have had a window. Is that correct? Nice aircraft! Many thanks for making this video!
We got this lady in Chile flying by LAN Chile airlines.
Wow realy.. How old this plane?
24 years abandoned, the seat's and interior still clean and good condition 👍
Beautiful airplane. Love the "guitar pick" windows.
Thank you for preserving this aircraft and tracing it's history.
The pilot's headset hanging there at 4:49 like the pilot will be right back for the next flight.
Very cool. And the guide was very knowledgeable.
Very distinctive and beautiful. I especially like the nose of this aircraft, and the shape of the passenger windows.
24 years, no maintenance ? Iranian Airlines would certify her to fly in a heartbeat ! :-)
Wonderful. Thank you for posting this video. I flew in a Caravelle in the the early 1960s.
Took me back to my first flight, June '69 with SAS from Tromsø to Oslo. Have since flown on more or less every jet made, except A380 and A350, and on most common transport turboprop too.
In my mind the Caravelle was the noisiest of them all. I had to yell to communicate with the stewardess. Can't say I miss it. Nice video though.
Amazing how clean it is inside after all those fallow years.
Beautiful airframe. Loved it since I was a child.
i would feel more safe flying in this than the 737 max jets
manny roias
😂😂😂true man!
These 737 max are a total BS!
I do not want to fly on a max
I'd feel safer flying in a home-made stunt plane than the 737 max
I don't care what software they change in a max I don't want to fly on one.
I worked for Northwest at Toulouse Blagnac as a Airbus QC Inspector
As a 10 years old child, I had the pleasure of flying one of these Syrian Air super 10 Caravels. It was a one stop flight with an airline change in Beirut. The Trip lasted only 15 minutes in which we where slung over both The Eastern and Western Lebanese Mountain Ranges. An entering flight that was a take of and landing only. That trip is one of my happy childhood memories. Please share a similar memory if it happens that you do.
I love the seats facing each other
Looked almost exactly like the inside of a McDondald Douglas Super-80 from back in the late 80’s. Same upholstery, tray tables, food carts, carpet, etc...
BTW, ty for the walk through.
I took my first plane in 1983 when I was only 5 years old and I remember going inside the plane from the tail too! Good times
I love those memories! 👍
Passenger plane, to date, unparalleled beauty, elegance and quality.
