4:00 What is this?? (white)

[PhilG380]

@127raf Vortexes forming as the faster moving air above the wing converges on the slower moving below the wing. It happens several times in the video.

fuel dump? 3:48 

[PhilG380]

@bradbrad10001 No, condensation forming around vortexes caused by the pressure differences created when the ailerons move positions relative to the wing.

The hardest part of having such a good view of the ground is not being able to enjoy seeing a landing out the window by being stuck over the wing. As far as a 747 is concerned, best seat on the whole plane is right up the back, only two seats wide and room behind you to get up and move about.

@brickpaverr I do not like the back, you get a lot of buffeting from the tail. The 777 seems to be worse at this for some reason. I prefer over the wing so you can see the flaps and ailerons at work. Plus, it's a good looking wing!

@B0eing1992 Nope wing condensation

@bradbrad10001 fuel dump over the city?

[brickpaverr]

I was referring to being seated in the back row, row 74 in a 747 s being my preference.
