Great video. Really like the closeups of the 747 fuselage.

[chrismcgenius]

I Enjoy It, Next Two Weeks, I'm Flying On It to Gatwick1

[Daniel2131990]

Well am very glad that I live near LAX because you have a less crowded plane spotting locations . Look here in Manchester it's packed to the roof.

[jbcd1211]

Nice video, but what is that puff of smoke as it was going down the runway on take off?

[Nanaking99]

I do not think you could give a name to airliners unless I do not understand anything.

[mjakes20]

[PilotGleb]

How did he managed to glide for so long???!!! XD

[Kpj7466]

@PilotGleb Maybe is the ground effect.

[beakyhope]

Gosh, this brings back memories! I'm 16 and in July my mum took me to florida (we're from england) and it's always been a childhood dream to swim with dolphins at discovery cove Orlando. And this was my first ever flight and I just remember seeing our Virgin Atlantic plane and remember how my first flight with Virgin felt. It actually does make me emotional. Wow what a fantastic holiday it was and what a great airline!

[QUEENAHIDEKINGFISHER]

I love the fact that Richard Branson beleives in Great Britain,and flys the flag on his aircraft!The design at the front of the aircraft remind me of the Memphis Belle from World War 2.A stroke of pure GENIUS,Richard!Thankyou.

[guitarruler1453]

i sat in the cockpit of a UPS 747, i was watching it land in SDF

[Hi8380]

It's a shame you didn't continue filming while the plane flew off into the distance.

You cut it too soon.

[spencedanny1]

[United269]

5 star

I don't get how the plane rotates before lift-off... it seems like the elevators are pitched up! *confused*

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

Rotation is the term given when the nose of the aircraft lifts up and the aircraft appears to rotate around its main landing gear. The aircraft would always rotate (to some degree) before all of its wheels are fully off the ground.

[Twinman2]

I get it now. Thanks for explaining! :) And thanks also for all those beautiful videos, I wish I lived not too far from an airport!

[Dentfly1]

@Twinman2 Every time the pilot pulls back on the yolk the elevators pitch up. This creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom surfaces of the tail wings. Greater pressure on the top surface vs. lower pressure on the bottom surface pushes the tail of the aircraft down, which pitches the nose up. The same pressure difference between the top and bottom surfaces of the main wings provide the aircraft with more lift.

[Twinman2]

@Dentfly1 Thanks! It all makes sense now!!

[billiepipersteeth]

@Twinman2 We require a downward force to be generated on the vertical stabilisers. What we have here is a simple level system, a downward rotation on one side of the fulcrum (the landing gear) will produce an upward rotation on the otherside of the fulcrum. The tail rotates down and the nose rotates (pitches) up. In order to generate the required downwards force on the vertical stabiliser, the elevators needs rotate upwards to disrupt the airstream such that it its tangent is perpendicular...

[billiepipersteeth]

....and oposite to the desired rotational force.

Love, Captain Billie.

Virgin Atlantic.

[shamk9]

still looks brand new

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

I think it had recently had the new Virgin Atlantic livery applied.

[RadioControlAviation]

@mcpcshowcaseHD I thought the new livery had a different font? I could be wrong though.

[olivia94tennis]

I've been to that viewing area in MAN!!!! Its pretty awesome! Me and my family always go there the evening before our flight and stay overnight in the raddison sas :D when we went the last few times It was the wrong time of day to see transatlantic flights come in :(

[ace70uk]

nice vid

[ace70uk]

lovely plane to fly on when we went to florida 08, now being flown by AeroSur aircraft registered as CP-2603, certainly looks a lot different

[WALESBOY21]

their great planes to be on i went to St Lucia on one of them!!

[KYLEAKAFLYBOIK]

i saw this plane land in Toago when i went there on vacation this summer it was HUGE and the airport only made it look BIGGER.

[sambomfc]

thanks nice vid :D , be going on a virgin atlantic 747 on friday :)

[Ririaviation972]

Very nice video ! Wonderful 747 !

[masere]

I flew on Barbarella from Las Vegas to Gatwick in 2007!! I've been to Man twice to watch planes but not to the viewing park - I go to the site across from "The Airport" pub and stand on a mound which gives great views, then walk along the country lanes to the second runway when that one starts been used.

[Jett203]

Very nice in HD!

[switchkid54321]

im flying tht plane LHR-NEWARK ON FSX NOW =D

[beluga1111]

very beautiful

[puiear]

I don't know what it is but at the moment the 747 always an impressive aircraft in my opinion looks even better than ever. Could it be they are enjoying being 40 years old!

Barbareela looks wonderful in the bright sunshine. 5*s

[arnoldy09]

i like the painting on the cockpit excellent video, watching all these aircraft vids makes me wanna get in one, it must be much better to watch it in person!!!!!

[rl68rl68]

very nice mate 5/5

[MBM001]

Nice. Theres 2 things on top of my list when i arrive in manchester in 2 weeks time. number 1 go to the Man United vs Arsenal game and number 2 Go spend half a day at the Airport, because from what ive seen of Simon Lowe's vids your airport over there has some bloody awsome veiwing areas of heavy aircraft ;-)

[brucek68]

What an awesome plane spotters "spot" :)

[pirchi61]
