For all you Classic 747 fans out there:
« on: March 18, 2009, 04:42:18 PM »
I found this vid. Pretty cool. Lots of classic 747 action. Pan Am, TWA, American, and so on. There is even a Corsair 747SP! The music is kinda hokey...but the footage is great!

Thank you for that!

The music comes straight out of the 70's when I was just 8 years old and was allowed onto the flight deck of my first L-1011.  The cockpit was lit up like a Christmas Tree and I'll never forget that the "left seat" was the only seat unoccupied when I arrived.  This really brought back memories and reminded me about why I love aviation so much.

As far as I am concerned, there has never been a more beautiful, timeless and reliable aircraft ever built, than the 747.

Your Welcome! I am a huge fan of the Classic 747, as you can tell by my name and profile pic!  8-)

The L-1011 is a classic in her own right as well. I too have seen flight decks of many Delta L-1011s in my day. I was fortunate enough to be working for Delta when we retired the L-1011. I even got the tee shirt to prove it!  :-D

I love all the classics. The footage of Pan Am and TWA 747s in there original liveries. Just Awsome!

It is a shorty 727 of TransBrasil. The titles on the forward section are blurred, making it hard to identify. I knew the rainbow tail, and found you a pic of one. Here is a clear view of B727-77 PT-TCD in Rio De Janeiro in 1980:

No Worries!!  8-)

I love looking at old footage like this and picking things out of the background. You never know what you are going to see!

Here is some pretty good footage of Kalitta 747-122SF N716CK at Manchester.
Nothing unusual or rare in this footage...but a good watch!
