Thumbs up if you are a Gold member in flying club!!

[wyn00]

25 years and still hot!!

[rockymountainrandom]

I hope Virgin Atlantic decides to order the 747-8 Intercontinental!

[pranavmungre]

I am sitting at work and watching your videos. Love the videos. Keep it up!

[LavitoMarshmellow]

Did you know the Boeing 747's wingspan is the longer that the Right Brother's first flight

[gpost2800]

@LavitoMarshmellow You're wright!

[tburden09]

hey how did you get the ATC in this?

[satojinnthehero]

@tburden09 just set your uhf radio to there frequency!

[Lefterisrethymno97]

Type in google..Phil Collins...Open the wikipedia one...Look at the labels below his picture...Thumbs up if you noticed what is says...Isn't it amazing..?

[ghettoperson257]

who knew 4 small pw4000s can launc a 540 ton bird into the air in 47 seconds

[ollo1982]

@ghettoperson257 MTOW for the 747 is 396 tons... not 540 :P

[ollo1982]

@ghettoperson257 and by the way.. this bird has registration G-VROS,and that uses 4 x GE CF6-80C2B1F.. all Virgin 747's use the GE CF6-80C2B1F...

[ghettoperson257]

@ollo1982 ok thanx i thought those were pw4000s cuz of the way they sound and thanx for MTOW info

[xAmberxD]

[defrule]

At 1:57 look carefully at the bottom of the engine. You can see a trail of air being sucked in.

[KeriInezqj447]

so the woman of your dreams

[LUpilot2012]

I still get chills every time I see one of these amazing machines takeoff

[AlboUsa90]

Hey man, been watching your videos for a while! Im a big fanatic when it comes to aviation and wanted to say love the videos. Keep up the good work!

[135vtomcallaro411]

hm I am sweet charming

[xarthurz]

i love the engine sound since i was a child

[QUEENAHIDEKINGFISHER]

This Youtube should be shown on British TV.........no explanation,nothing..........j­ust show this film..........VIRGIN AIRWAYS.......no music,no words,just this film!My God,imagine how this would get people thinking,sat comfortably in their homes!

[jland904]

[ikolkyo967]

One of the best planes ever built

[snipingace34]

Scarist looking plane EVER

[sixstringfretter]

Sweet video. Nice camera work and audio. Virgin & Quantas have the coolest liveries in the word. This aircraft has been, is, and shall be the Queen Of The Sky. The A380 is the King Of The Sky. The ol' girl has class and the sexiest lines. The A380 is just big.

[juanjillocr]

I love the A380, but the 747 (specially the -400 and -8) is a fantastic and marvelous plane.

I really don't get all those talking bullshit about the A380. These people just love Boeing, not Aviation. Shame...

[mrcable1996]

encore encore

[ThreeColouredPencils]

Aeroplanes are my most favourite machine ever invented. Sometimes when I go on holiday I look forward to the Plane the most. My dream is to become a Commercial Pilot and work for Virgin Atlantic :)

[JoeWilliams3D]

I Don't Know Why I Love Aeroplanes So Much I Think It Is Becuase Of How Big They Are And I Just Love Just Noise Of The Engines And When They Land & Take Off!

[Camguy1987]

How did you manage to access the radio comm.?

[choclatesaltyballz]

excellent video

[darrenbird66]

cute little thompson at 0:19

[whis102]

We came home from Florida this morning on this plane.. Good flight :) 645 mph will do for me 7hours 15 to manchester

[whis102]

We came home from Florida this morning on this plane.. Good flight :)

[DudeKingTV]

I feel safe when im flying in that!

[purabparam]

virgin atlantic has the oldest 747

[rcplanes1234]

@purabparam yea and then on it they put "Fly a yonger fleet"! haha

[NOZblast2]

Gravity created thousands of youtube accounts to dislike aviation.

[trev711]

"Thanks, love you er." 0:54 haha!

[210482fmj]

airplanes of this size are quite wasteful in some ways. we coudl build much smaller airplanes designed for a small family which could still cross the atlantic or significant distance. every human being can fly an aircraft with training. it's not that hard. just build large public landing zones. smaller planes would use less space. everybody should be able to be a pilot without overly expensive training fees. we should be self sufficient

[markisalegend]

@210482fmj You pillick its not wasteful its bloody marvelous

[210482fmj]

@markisalegend people like you are sad as you have to resort to insults on the internet as you are too cowardly to say it to peoples face in public so you hind behind a computer screen

[fabiancic]

Amazing how such a mammoth structure can take off and stay in the air.

[ghettoperson257]

tower: virgin 75, 24 left 240 degrees at 7

pilot: clear for takeoff runways 24 left virgin 75

eeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-R­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[210482fmj]

boeing is more than capable of producing a supersonic aircraft in terms of there technology as they develop space equipment and other military hardware but it is the funding and financial restrictions which have always prevented them from bringing them into service. IF you think boeing could not produce a supersonic commercial airplane now you would be gullible as they produce all sorts of military and space hardware. its funding thats the problem

[FSXGuy1]

Someone stole your videos. Eveyone thumbs up so Flightlevel350 can see this!

/watch?v=JlmCWi28CsU&feature=r­elated

[jaffacake1578]

the other plane infront of the 747-400 at 0:34 is a first choice 767

and looking at the flight no. it is the EXACT plane that i flew on to mexico and back in 2009 and 2010 (it was christmas)

[MrDanTheMan697]

Fantastic video

[09shannongraves]

I went on one to Florida its an amazing feeling!!!!

[terks43]

The 747 is better than the A380 I know how to fly both i've flown both the 747 feels more like a plane and less like a computer the same is true with all boeing and airbus aircraft

[OldFireStick]

It never ceases to amaze me how this HUGE thing lumbers down the runway looking so slow, then... up into the air like a little bird...

Could you imagine if the Wright brothers and other early flight pioneers came forward in time to a modern airport and saw this?

[RexKarrs]

At 2:16, the nose gear's already off the runway.

[tomtimex]

@RexKarrs Optical Illusion :)

[valarmanwe]

Oh God they are so awful. I never want to fly again. On any plane.

[flightdudee]

next sunday(26.) ill be on a 747-400 to Miami from CDG, can't wait!

[bigpfhefc]

how do you get the audio ?

[swa6058]

Didn't get the intro

[xxcrazylukexx]

Flying in this model tomorrow :D I'm so excited!

[titanic95594]

The 747 will always be the real king of the skies.

[nickelfilling1]

@titanic95594 I do agree with you. Although the Airbus A380 is bigger than the Boeing 747 which TECHNICALLY makes it the real King of the Skies, the 747 is still OFFICIALLY the King of the Skies. But I'm still afraid the Boeing 747 might one day, not be the official King of the Skies anymore.

[OmarTheGuy]

34 Airbus A380's disliked this video.

[RexKarrs]

@OmarTheGuy : ) Waddling around the runway like pregnant ducks.

[JFARRELLinc]

Should be in one of these soon! as long as the ash cloud doesn't come to gatwick airport....

[Jdur321]

those guys are BEASTS!!!!!!

[MoreVodkaPLZ]

thats a HUGE bitch!

[TheHitesh2000]

what was the airline in front of it?

[ecw11563]

@TheHitesh2000 'First Choice 767'

[TheHitesh2000]

@ecw11563 thanx

[StratCatGenius]

Note the vortex in front of the engine as it revs up at 1:59...cool!

[balletroxmysox123]

I went on one of these exactly 1 month after you uploaded this. Same airline, airport, plane, everything.

[Linkage1992]

The sound of a plane taking off will be a symbol of our time, just like how the sound of a steam train is a symbol of the old west.

[angelinechiska]

best part, 1:57-2:40...amazing sound

[SpeedBird108]

Nice vid =D

How did you get the live ATC?

[phreak761]

@SpeedBird108 Buy a scanner.

Beautifully captured, does justice to this magnificent plane.

[scarehorror98]

yup the pilot is a real virgin at flying planes isnt he? dumbasses

[MrPanorama999]

brits are now switching to airbus- another american tax payer based aircraft company - Euro socialism is now the new norm- and the Airbus is just that -a -bus .

[giacomoimpe]

Amazing video!!!! I love it. Even though a380 looks huge when it fly over ur head my favorites r boeing 777 and 747 so sexy....

[neiladams19]

Amazing...just love the magnitude

[vuthead]

I love the 747, something about it, although not the biggest, fastest, sexiest aircraft around, theres something about that seems right. The airbus a380, although i have never been in one, seems vulgar, and excessive.

[GRUsbgrHD]

GE CF6-80!

[artthefarter]

all ask you this one question poeple why is it the boing planes that always crash and burn and kill hundreds of poeple. watch mayday if u want to know what i mean.

[terks43]

@artthefarter Air France A330 that went down over the atlantic... the concorde disaster... BAC 1 11 for british airways that had its windows blow out A 380 engine problems what in the world happend to the a350 by the way........ oh and ive never seen aboeing plane go down from an birdstrike... yahhhh see and anyways most accidents are pilot error not mechinacal issues.

[artthefarter]

@terks43 wellllll if u say so.

[USNemesis]

@terks43 In Nov 2008, a Ryanair 737 suffered a birdstrike immediately prior to landing at Rome. Swift action by the pilot averted what could have been a disaster but the aircraft suffered significant damage to the engines as a result. Boeing's planes are equally suscepible to damage in such circumstances.

[USNemesis]

@terks43 In September 1988, a Boeing 737 aircraft that took off from Bahir Dar collided with a flock of pigeons. Twenty-eight pigeons were sucked into the two engines, sixteen in the left engine and twelve in the right. Both engines were dead and the pilots were trying to return to the airport. Tragically, they could not make it. The B737 aircraft crashed on a farm near the airport, killing 35 people and injuring seriously 27. The BAC 1 11's window blew out as a result of poor maintenance.

[CDFfilms]

33 people are from Airbus

[fransinhooo]

Sir Richard Branson is the only man proud to be a "Virgin"

[Marcin6313]

why do they have the flaps down at take off?? dont they slow the plane down??

[F16CrewChief810]

@Marcin6313 The flaps are actually used on takeoff too. They help elongate the curvature of the wing thus creating more lift making the take off distance shorter.

[chr15ru55e11]

@Marcin6313 the flaps are only put down the first two stages as it creates a considerable amount of extra lift with a minor drag resistance. They are only put the whole way down on landing as you want to slow the aircraft down bleeding as much speed off as possible without stalling the wing.

[210482fmj]

it would be great to convert one of these into a mobile rv home. you could tour the world in one of these and live in it and carry you're vehicle in it if it was a cargo ramp conversion. I've not actually heard of rv aircraft used as mobiel homes. that would be great. i think its the future. if you're rich enough you could do it.

[fletcho909]

amazing engine sounds and a excellent takeoff.

[brent07]

Nice take off! just one thing guys, what is the difference of the 747-400M to other 747-400's? just curious

[averredude101]

@brent07 the 747-400 is a full apssenger configuration and the 747-400M is half freighter half passenger jet

Fantastic!

[QUEENAHIDEKINGFISHER]

This is the most amazing airline video i have ever seen,if Virgin used this in a commercial,it would light the counrty up,just like the 1980s Frankie Goes To Hollywood video.No music,just Virgin takin off and pride in rhe Great Britain flag!

This needs to go on TV!

[mrtokyopig]

cool i was in that plane long time ago. it was awasome but the best plane is a380 it rocks! and annoying orange is cool check out the annoying orange wasabi! bye

[thelaurias5]

1:58 Something Gets Sucked Into The Turbine

[Airlinerfreak]

@thelaurias5 pure air ;)

[DCussen]

That is one bad beast. There is still nothing more cool than a 747-400

[hessen211]

amazing like agirl طيارة الوانها عجبانى

[kingofkeyboards]

in the Virgin Atlantic livery, it looks epic! well it looks epic anyway but still :-)

[bangerbengali]

@averredude101 ok thats your opinions and i appreciate them but in my opinions i prefer the modern A380!

[beto2768]

¡Mi avión favorito! ¡Cuánta majestad en su diseño y performance!

[averredude101]

@mrtoby1010 Im thirteen to. First thing, forget about the episodes you have watched. I flew a cessna 152 when I was twelve. At first I was terrified (it was a light aircraft and worse, it was in the UK and you know what the weather is like there) then when the pilot told me it was time for me to take over, I suddenly felt so much better. Its cause I was having fun. Flying is fun so when you fly, forget about fear and enjoy yourself. Also the laws of physics

[ShaunoCRH06]

@averredude101 I'm 14 and that kinda helps me too.

[imafreakinsubscriber]

@averredude101 Isn't that illegal?

[averredude101]

@imafreakinsubscriber the flying the plane? No, it was flight school. I had a qualified pilot onboard so as long as a pilot is there anybody of any age can fly. Trust me its fun. When your 14 you can start flight training for your ppl and at 16 you can get your solo. I recommend going for a trail flight its real fun

[imafreakinsubscriber]

@averredude101 But taking off and landing at 14 is illegal right? I wish i could start flight training. Do not take it for granted.

[averredude101]

@imafreakinsubscriber no its not, 14 is the legal age to start training so the FAA approve that as long there is a real pilot onboard

[averredude101]

@imafreakinsubscriber sorry, taking off and landing is legal at any age. The pilot might let you do it. Yesturday I was doing it and he let me fly the approach and he said I was so good so he let me land the plane :). So yes you can do flying lessons at any age, I really reccomend it. Also it not that expensive

[Mateusfmarins]

I WANT ONE BOING FOR ME !!!

[navalaviator017]

Wow the new 747-8 is incredibly silent compared to this747-400

[paduajoseph]

[Hacksawzombie]

Do virgin atlantic have airbus A380's or did they not buy them in the end?? or are they now in the fleet?

[hello1233280]

Boeing rules.. airbus is just a load of crap.. 747 is so much better that the crappy obese A380!

[bangerbengali]

@hello1233280 obese well you are clearly blind because the B747 is so old and out dated i would rather fly a modern 21st century A380!

[FSXGuy1]

@bangerbengali

The 747 looks better than your old wrinkly Grandma!

[hello1233280]

@FSXGuy1 haha well said FSXGuy!

[bangerbengali]

@FSXGuy1 you are seriously pathtic !

[FSXGuy1]

@bangerbengali

Like your mom!

[bangerbengali]

@FSXGuy1 Oh thats a bit of a rich comment coming from a slag like you!

[bangerbengali]

@bangerbengali omg its an opinion calm down i swear uz lot think you own the aircraft ! JEEZ!

[josemarias11]

woooow!!!!!!!!!! only 42 seconds for take off!!! amazing aircraf... :)

[bamforth007]

I fly for virgin atlantic

[lfresearch]

What a beautiful machine and what a rush it must be to fly one...

[whatsgoingonthen]

it really is a wonderful piece of technology considering its been flying commercially since 1970 and it held the passenger capacity for a good 30 odd years i think anyway good post

[LAnonHubbard]

Lovely!!

[HMC200]

flight was to where

[josamugi1]

simply amazing!!

[bengo76]

747-One of the most perfect planes in the world,after the A380

[radioxxflyer]

outstanding

[ryanneary1234]

No flaps 15. I Dnt no why planes are so fascinating but I want to be a flight attendant when I leave school

[hendrixexperiencedig]

are those flaps down all the way?

[paduajoseph]

@hendrixexperiencedig Full flaps? no.

[BrigitteBabey]

jet engines sound beautiful

[justin14842]

how did u get the cockpit voice recording?

[paduajoseph]

@justin14842 I think he used scanners.

[534377777777]

wtf it look'd like he took off for like 80kph ..

[Springamatul]

I wonder what Virgin Airline is like?

[Checka157]

Look at 1:58 the engine there suck´s something, it look´s like a piece of plastic.

[Vekoma1261]

@Checka157 It's not a piece of plastic, it's a wind vortex or a mini-tornado. It's like water being sucked down the drain creating a whirlpool. Air is being sucked into the engine so fast its created a vortex.

[Checka157]

@Vekoma1261 oh that make sence, thank you :)

[vroomba03]

Dear santa, make the advertisements on youtube go away. Oh wait even you are on them

[Notrichardsea]

Whats getting sucked into the engine at 1:55 ?

[vroomba03]

@Notrichardsea water off the runway

[Bekrija80]

@Notrichardsea I think it's the moist from the ground.

[maunicha]
