Boeing 747-400 Qantas Takeoff in Los Angeles

Takeoff in a Qantas 747-400 going to Sydney.

***When I made this video, I figured out that somebody took a picture of the plane just after lifting off and thought it was from another plane, but I have learned that it was actually taken from a hill near the airport.***

Be sure to check out my other videos!

WOW!!!! we were on the same aircraft... well not exactly, I had arrived from Sydney that morning on probably this same aircraft... and from our videos we sat in the same seat! that's funny, which means we probably were in the same terminal.  Did you depart out of the American airlines terminal because that's where we arrived?

Thats cool! I don't remember what terminal it was, it was too long ago and I've since made another trip to australia so I might be confusing the terminals with that trip.

The LAX-SYD route is about the limit of what a 744 can do. For the westbound route, because there is often a headwind, the A/C is often weight restricted.

Because of the range, the A/C is essentially carrying a full load of fuel, which makes it VERY heavy. A 744 will typically rotate at a ground speed of about 150-175 MPH (statute) on a transatlantic flight. However, on my last SFO-SYD flight, we were over 210 MPH (statute) when we rotated. And then the plane climbs like a lead brick.

did you have a gps or something? i one time used mine on a 737 takeoff and it was amazing how fast we were at 100 mph

[gorjesska]

you should of cut the whole flight out and then reappear landing at sydney

[codyl1992]

i didn't film the landing but i should have because we had to go-around and that would be cool to get on film.

[speedbird007]

Oh Deer, I like to see the RR when I'm in the air

[F6charlie]

he was not in that plane because you v1 when u pass the plane and the photo shows you that he is way infront of the plane so yep

[qantaspilot95]

it seems that was the LAX-SYD full day flight that qantas used to do

@MikeGinny Reminds me of the takeoff and climb out from Tiawan to Honolulu in a 747-1,2, or 300 in 1980. Squishy and a little nerve wracking.

Very cool video.

Thanks.

@MikeGinny I remember when Philippine airlines used to fly to london they use the B744, and the flight was 16 hours and 53 mins(straight flight) LAX to Sydney is about 14-15 hours.

[LibertadorXXL]

12000 km flight

[bridlingtonengland75]

wow, long take off roll. Nice job.

[Hunger4Power]

la to sydney thats far

[50RpJ]

@sideslide23 yea but computers makes errors as well. u have 2 recheck that the data and formulae are right. a single error can lead to a potential flaw

[BoucherryKid]

Its weird, but cool at the same time, the plane looks like a Volaris one, but I dont think that someone of that plane took it because it looks very far, and the plane was near.
