Avalon Airshow 2007 - Part 10 - Atlas Air B747 Takeoff Roll

[serratealldemoncrats]

??? What kind of airshow isn't open to the public? Who is it held for then?

@serratealldemoncrats

The Avalon airshow is held over a few days, where there is one day open to trade visitors only (From industry & military), and the others open to the general public. I went to both.

nothing better than airplanes and interest in pyrotechnics :D

shit song for this clip!

[flyboy172r]

I agree - I didn't put the song on, they were playing it at the flight line as the 747 was throttling up. I gotta tell you though, that was bloody loud - we were only about 50 or so meters away! (With no hearing protection...)

@flyboy172r Was that a -400? I'm thinking GE-CF6 engines. The DC-10,MD,11 and 767 used a varrent based on the CF6.

But I still think the 747 is plenty big enough regardless of the what some might say of the A380 or any other future Super Jumbo.

The 747-8 is pretty awsome .

@mojame100

Interesting questions!

I did some reaserch on this one, I'm guessing this is probably one of 12 747-47UF, one of the Freighter offshots of the -400 series. You have a choice of 3 engines, RR RB211, PW4062 or as you mentioned a CF6-8.

wow! I love the 747! Thanks for uploading!

[flyboy172r]

Do you have a sub? I watched this one with a sub once, it bottomed it out! On the day, I was standing at the flight line, about 50 meters from the runway, and I gotta tell you that those engines are bloody loud!

[RedoutesChoice]

sorry - I don't know what you mean by Sub. I love hearing the roar of thos engines though, when I was in one going to LHR from SYD via SIN, I loved the Takeoffs, listening to the engines being put to full throttle! I could watch these big planes all day! :)

[ochocinco77]

subwoofer.. as in sub for speakers..

[RedoutesChoice]

Ahh gotcha - cheers!

[RedoutesChoice]

Are they having the Avalon airshow again? I would go just to be that close to a 747 :)

[flyboy172r]

Yeah, in 2009 at Avalon Airport, from 24th March until 29th March.

[Ziggyplayedaxe]

That will be why, I was only there on the public days.

[Ziggyplayedaxe]

So dont remember that 747, but I was probably distracted by the awacs. Nice video, avalon rocks

[flyboy172r]

What day did you go? This was on the Trade Day.

[flyboy172r]

Wow...tough critics on the video! Oh well, I guess you just had to be there. This was one of my favorite take-offs on the trade day, one of the loudest, try standing 20 meters away from one of those RR's at full power!

[RedoutesChoice]

Long live the 747, great video. :)

[YxJames]
