I love how some planes' engines (I wish I knew the manufacturer... JTD? GE?) sound like a conventional propeller when they are pushed above a certain thrust level.

Wow this was back in 1993. because I went to england in 2002 and british airways tail were different like red and blue strips.

thx for the video, always wanted to watch BA 747-200 VIDEO, WHICH BRINGS LOTS OF MEMORIES!

[no1sailor]

Early nineties T4...747 heaven!

[whatstheprob1932]

@OhMaiLanta isnt that an alitalia Md-80 or something?

[vargas37]

Love the -SP!

[sheldonholy]

@vargas37 BA has never had any -SPs...

[sheldonholy]

Oh yeah well sorry the United plane was an SP yeah.

[psrpippy]

We had 8 channel PTV's in our club world seats from a very early time. Still only had the main screen in World Traveller though/

@OhMaiLanta well spotted, It was hard for me to see it even one I read your post and toook it back.

[thekorksta]

I love thae old United livelry. Was that a 747-SP of Unite Airlines near the beginning of the clip? I love the sound of the engines, I used to live near the flight path for Heathrow and hearing that 747 whine s one of the best sounds to me.

[aerobat150]

@OhMaiLanta Yep, UA had a few 727s over there for onward European destinations, so did Delta at the time

Everything changed now..back then, in 1990, 747-400 is still a brand new plane for everyone and we could see a lot of 747 on the tarmac waiting for their next flight like we seen in this video. Today, many airlines begin retiring their 747 in favor of 777 and A380. I miss those days..the glory days of the 747..

[lonz1988]

That isnt a 747-200, that is a 747-136, they retired the last 136 in 1999 :-( miss these birds, great video!

[loaferguy73]

@lonz1988 You would be correct, as all of the 200's were RR powered. This bird is clearly a P/W powered bird based on the sounds alone!

[MegaADZZY]

@lonz1988 Exactly that is the classic 747 136. Great aeroplane i miss them. Have they all been scrapped now,or is there any in museums anywhere?

[vanhalo]

nice JT9D sounds. i had always been under the impression that all of BA's -200s were RR powered. guess i was proven wrong.
