There is nothing better than going on a long flight on the 747-400. Its a feeling of such freedom , like you are leaving the world behind . The wing seat is the best because there is NOTHING better than the sound of those jet engines! Love em!
-
Yeah, but the plane has to get up to 180 mph at least before rotation, a much higher speed than other planes. Not to mention, the flight was likely full and heavy with fuel, and the pilot probably requested the full length of the runway. This is often done to save fuel and to extend the life of the plane.

@surferyo and more...Qantas does a DFW-Brisbane, Australia flight. about 15.5 hours in winter.

thats one big airport

That was not a very long takeoff roll - pretty average for a 747-400 doing a 12 hr flight. Judging from where they passed the connecting taxiway between the north and south runways, they easily had 4000 feet of runway remaining when they got off. If they were so heavy their climb rate would have been more shallow as well.
-
They are setting climb power - which can be as little as 10 or as much as 20% power reduction. After the flaps and landing gear are retracted, there is less drag and far less power is needed to accelerate. It is done as quickly as practical to preserve engine life as takeoff power settings for long periods of time
increase engine wear and maintenance costs. There is absolutely nothing to be afraid of - the aircraft is still climbing and accelerating even as the power comes down.
-
that must have been a heavy airplane, seems like the takeoff roll was exceptionally wrong
-
There is nothing wrong with using any cmaera of any sort during flight. You just cannot have any wirless activity like the internet or cell phone service. So if you are taking pictures and videos with your phone, put it on airplace mode.

@6oONyZeOo6 Die Triebwerke übertönen die restlichen Geräusche. :)

I was always able to use my camera during take-off/landing.
I don't see a reason why they would forbid it anyways.
