[GlobalShiftWilton]

[wilatemodel]

GOD BLESS BOEING!!!!

[BobbyPlane6252]

This plane is awesome!!!

[Captain737HD]

3 people are from Airbus

[BooBoop69]

if airbus was able to make an a380 cargo plane, it wouldnt even compare to the 747-8 freighter. its a remarkable aircraft. airbus has nothing on the 747-8 program

[stigmaweb]

Boeing put a chicano pilot to fly this plane.... why not a real American??? 

[ozgrunt]

@stigmaweb You mean a Native American? That is a very racist comment.. exactly what I have come to expect from one of the most racist countries in the world. The man is obviously very highly qualified (more than you will ever be).

[nighttrain334]

Who in the hell would honestly dislike this vid?!!

[OmerMaz757]

Godspeed Boeing

[GOLTURBO555]

GO BOEING!

[PInk77W1]

@IASPAG2MFAM VICTORVILLE OR edwards AFB or mojave. Something like that

[DoubleGauss]

Look at the wing flex at the point of getting airborne. You can tell the wings are loaded beyond recommended limit.

[gangster3591]

THE most beautiful airplane I've seen. breathtaking, majestic

[Gloinnlight]

@gangster3591 I can't help but think you are trolling. That name and comment.. just don't work.

[cowsrock94]

that is a looooong plane. so much sleeker than A380.

[futuresingaporepilot]

sure, airbus might have the biggest plane in the world but now, Boeing has the longest and quietest 4 engine plane in the world. Furthermore, this beauty can be a passenger airliner, freighter or a Combi (Both a passenger and a freighter combined) Let's see the Airbus become a Cobi, I dont even think that the airlines will even use it as a freighter. Go Boeing!!!

[Pvjinflight]

@futuresingaporepilot I think that A380 is quieter.

[xxkevinxx323]

@Pvjinflight have you been on the A380

[SteU4IA]

wow engines are huge!

[Thisizmyname]

That is truly remarkable.

[chap6595]

are they Qantas gets in the background at 1:52 ?

[qantas8888]

@chap6595 Retired 747s by the looks of it 747-300 to be exact



[leisulin]

Beautiful!

[Firelife3]

Antonov An-225: Max takeoff weight 1,323,000 pounds =)

[mw2dude2010]

@Firelife3 no its 5,000,000

[joesabido]

@Firelife3 And that was in 1998!

[chekyman123]

@Firelife3 try and compare that to b747-8 size and no. of engines

[OpticQ]

@Firelife3 That's mirya's record. This is boeing's record ;)

[9gent]

@Firelife3 antonov is ugly

[EJ25RUN]

@9gent 225 best looking plane in the world.

[arran601]

it didnt want to fly hahaha

[njdunstan]

3 QANTAS 747.400 in back ground @2.39

[kenpalmer1965]

This is totally awesome! I have always liked the Boeing 747, but seeing it operate as a freighter is even a bigger testament to its strength and ability. This airport it took off from in Victorville was formerly George AFB. I still drive by it quite frequently when I am in the area. Hats off and congrats to this aviaton giant in this feat! Cool and insightful video!

[tzup85]

i wonder if the tanks are full

[MoustachesAreEpic]

I'd like to see the Airbus380 try :D It's probably gonna take off then suddenly crash...

[sthill1993]

@MoustachesAreEpic Try 1 Million pounds? Sorted, 1,250,000 pounds! I can verify that, SIN-LHR flights are nearly always MTOW. Still takes off well before the end of the runway and still with a good climb rate.

[trent8002003]

With quite a few A380s now in service, words seem to be spreading that the Airlines ain't making money off it. Boeing's prediction that it's too big for the market seems to be coming true. HURRAY *dancing happy dance*!!! Hope this clears the way for more orders for the 747-8s. The A380s are simply too butt ugly. Can't even look at it without cringing.

[BOACMach2]

@cirrussr221994 That's scaremongering to say the least. There's an obvious reason why Airbus are now the premier company in terms of sales worldwide and that's down to their approach to innovation and technology. You'll find more and more of the world's airlines prefer Airbus to Boeing these days and the sheer comfort levels in the A380s surpasses anything Boeing can currently offer. Airbus's safety record is every bit as good as Boeing's with both manufacturers doing a great job.

[GenuineMW2]

@BOACMach2 No, Its the other way around. I see your Bias towards Airbus (comments on videos) Pilots

find it annoying to use the automated systems as they have to often manually override them, they don't

like computers flying them, especially bad ones.

[SpacelyXD]

@GenuineMW2 I totally agree with u on the Manual flying

[cd949604]

lol were did call of duty came from?

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@cd949604 lol

[jasleil]

Ah, the queen can rule both the passenager and the frieght sector. Let's see the A380 at attempting to become a frieghter.

[MrPaki1996]

@jasleil they actually did fed ex was going to have the a380 freighter but the delays caused fed ex to cancel and the a380 F didnt come to life

[PlaneSpotterGroup101]

@jasleil Fedex was going to buy one but they cancelled it and i think they bought 777s. not sure,

[PInk77W1]

@PlaneSpotterGroup101 one?

[costas1010]

go go Boeing..i need to see in the skies the most beautiful bird..

[irvin2cartel]

Magnificent.
