Boeing 747 100 First Flight 1/2

Thank You all for making this one of my most seen videos!

747: A glorious chapter in aviation history

The last 747 rolled out on December 6th (747-8F N863GT for Atlas Air), ending 54 years of production of one of the most successful aircraft in the world

I was a year old in 1968 when this aircraft was rolled out, now I have a diecast model of this from Inflight200 which arrived this past Thursday. I love the model & I'm glad I finally decided to buy one.

A380 is good modern plane, but 747 is the "King of Planes" for me!

Even after 50 years the Queen stands out from the rest..Timeless beauty..

To think this basically started with a handshake and a promise between two friends on a fishing trip is the true testament to the integrity of people from that era.

This aircraft is in the Museum of flight in Seattle, it's an awesome museum!

50 years of the first flight of the Boeing 747!!! February 9, 1969 made the first flight of the Boeing 747-100 (initial model of the series "747") - the world's first long-haul double-deck wide-body passenger aircraft.

I was there with Louie Weathers, sitting in his new GTO on the freeway to watch this Monster Jet take it's first flight. I had just got out of the Army a month before and Louie helped me get a temporary Long Shoreman job on pier 47, we were having a ball for three months. We were listening to the radio driving around and heard the live report and got to the view area from the road looking down on the runway. I looked like it was flying about 80 MPH because it was so Big, and so Loud!

Tje 747 has been the best and the greatest of all times despite any other A380 or the latest 787. It was the first heavy built in the late 60's and will be forever.

I saw this plane in 1969 Palm Springs........they were doing the warm weather testing there because Acapulco was too cold. What a sight to see when that whale came around the pattern......it was impressive then and still is now..........

A milestone in Aviation history

I went to a museum in Seattle Washington and saw this exact 747

A golden era comes to an end

Love the snowy engine part - so cosmic!

747 all the way, the original Queen of the Skies

2023: This beast is now being retired from the production line.

Never Saw somthing that old as good as this, NICE!!!

i have travelled in 747 from mumbai to dubai. very nice flight. Thank God the purest merciful

Boeing in 70s: We officially created the biggest plane ever Airbus : Hold my Rolls Royce Reactor

we know A380 was the biggest and the best, but one thing, B747 was a "King" of Passenger Plane from 1976 to 2006

you can bet, the A 380 wont last as much as the Queen of sky 747.

The Boeing 747 is a large, long-range wide-body airliner designed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in the United States between 1968 and 2023. After introducing the 707 in October 1958, Pan Am wanted a jet 2+1⁄2 times its size, to reduce its seat cost by 30%. In 1965, Joe Sutter left the 737 development program to design the 747. In April 1966, Pan Am ordered 25 Boeing 747-100 aircraft, and in late 1966, Pratt & Whitney agreed to develop the JT9D engine, a high-bypass turbofan. On September 30, 1968, the first 747 was rolled out of the custom-built Everett Plant, the world's largest building by volume. The 747's first flight took place on February 9, 1969, and the 747 was certified in December of that year. It entered service with Pan Am on January 22, 1970. The 747 was the first airplane called a "Jumbo Jet" as the first wide-body airliner.

This plane is just beautiful

Thanks for everything queen of the sky

Can't believe some company's are getting rid of these.

Thanks for sharing this!

Long live the 747

YES!!-American guitars, cars, & airliners. 747 is the queen of the skies, A-380 will never take away the 747's #1 spot.

when footage from 1960's is more clear than a security camera footage

747 is ' THE MAJESTIC QUEEN'

Sorry to correct u it was first delivered to pan am in 1970 so 36 years it held several records.

@64MojoMan Thank You! : )

Long live the king of the skies!

maravilhoso

If the 747 is never made, we will not see other widebodies in the skies. Thanks the Queen

Happy 50th Birthday !

“Wow looks incredible! This is definitely gonna last forever.” -1968

@Hencer16 the 747 rollout took place in 1968

@IndraEMC It's still ''The Queen Of The Skies'' by the way. The A-380 is just modern that's all. There is also the new 747-8 Intercontinental which now the largest commercial plane.

I’m glad she’s being kept safe in a museum.

3:25 That flap part sounded like a scream for a moment..😅😅😅

I always liked the paintjob on that one

Was thinking if I could use this for a video... ...it's a bit of a fictional trailer for something called SimplePlanes.

Szép és megbizható gép.

Although by the end it was clear the queen’s time had come to an end, that did not make it easier to say goodbye to the 53 year old Jumbo Jet. RIP 747 “Queen of the Skies”

I LOVE THE 747

What’s the introductory song in the beginning? It sounds catchy.

@Hencer16 Its actually November 30th 1968

cool when was the 200 made

@Hencer16 First flight was in 1969.

"Boeing decided to build the factory to build the plane while building the plane inside the factory they were building to build the plane they were building inside the factory they were building to build the plane."

I LIKE THE 747

50 YEARS!!!!!

The sad part is, Tape #2 is region locked in the UK by Channel 5

747 a plane titan

Rip queen

I think he's referring to the music.

made in the united states of america!

Sure wish today's Americans were this ambitious. Seems we stopped making meaningful progress.

What was the biggest civil aircraft before the 747?

The 777-300ER is cool. But the 767 is the BEST! After that, the 747 and A340

@Mr97NouNou Thanks for watching : )

It looked more like a Antonov-124 which I like

Here after they made the last one

The 747-100 is the god of planes

747 beats the A380 hands down even though they aren't competing.

I flew on many 747s. It is what gave me the love of flying. All these airlines now junking the queen of the sky's for these modern planes should be out out of business

RA001?

If you see the picture with all the flight attendants, From left to right, my grandma is the first green one.

little they do know..

Boeing changed aviation , from the 707 , to the B-52 , Boeing is the best , Airbus is just a manufacturer , It didn't changed aviation , well except the a380 , saves more fuel the 747 and more passengers , but 747 still remains the queen of the skies

This was made 13 years ago

actually the 777 and the 747 s the best...

They should show this to Boeing workers & the board in 2024. They forgot

4K

No wonder why its slats are loud.

The a380 is bigger, sure, but this was the biggest bus you could ride for 36 years

Because speed. the first try take off...
