Wow! The Qantas 737 pilot did a very smooth landing, great job!👍👍

[Troubleshooter]

The Boeing 747 was the grand old lady of the skies. Rode in 'em many times and always a GREAT ride. Will miss them a LOT.

Soooo, i simple fly over is now called a refusal to land???

[fluchterschoen]

The Boeing 747 has such a serious, business-like expression on its face, which I really like. Some modern planes are all like, "look at me, I'm a plane, I'm having fun!". But the 747 had focus, poise and a statesmanlike quality. I would trust it with my life, and indeed have done on two occasions. Needless to say it didn't let me down and here I am, alive and in one-piece, to offer my fascinating insight into the facial expressions of different aircraft. You're all very welcome.

2:02 Oh look, a real chemtrail.. But seriously it shows that when spraying or dumping you can see the substance immediately after it leaves the aircraft, whereas contrails form some distance behind the aircraft as the hot vapor filled exhaust cools and condenses around soot particles.

Damn, even when the qantas 737 pilot had a flaps issue, he still managed to butter it.

That 747 low pass might have been done by my friend Greg in the left-hand seat. He is a pilot for Atlas Air, and he has proudly flown that very last 747.

Goose bumps watching the Atlas 747, admiration for the Qantas 737 pilot landing with no flaps and finally, lovely buzz saw engine noise from the Fokker 100-I’m very happy 😊

[desmond-hawkins]

Pretty cool to see the difference between the slow and smooth landing at Stansted vs the crazy fast Qantas landing flaps up. The first one showed just under 140 knots (1:19), can anyone estimate how fast the other one was going? 200-ish maybe? (1:40)

747 will forever be the Queen of the sky.

[TheUnforgiven]

As a pilot 25 years retired I have to say I am impressed the Qantas 737 landing despite no flaps.
I have never experienced that particular scenario except in a sim, but well done!

[TheGlobalTravelr]

The pinnacle of my aviation career was flying the whale or B747-400. What an incredible airplane.

Technically, one cannot refuse to land a plane. Sooner or later, it's got to come down.

[wulfboi]

Thank you, Orville & Wilbur Wright for your astounding invention ... 1 of the greatest ever & will always be. The remarkable intellect it took these 2 brothers to come up with such a world changing object is beyond what at least a million average folks have combined. Every time I witness anything to do with flight {videos/TV/real life}, be it any kind of plane or, better yet ... space craft, I am left in awe to the extent that I usually begin to cry. The marvel of it all is beyond words. 🛩

Small Fokker and the Tatra Mountains.
Beautiful!

[MrValjester]

Refusing to land or not is irrelevant. Aviation has a perfect record. We have never left an aircraft up there.

747 will forever be remembered ❤ A.K.A N863GT last 747

[waynesilva]

The 380 was never a threat
To the 747.

[daheaven]

Queen of the Skies, sorry to see her production end.

Love how the Qantas pilot had the auto-spoilers set for when the main gear touched but kept the nose up at the same time to wash off speed & prevent the nose gear from collapsing. Qantas' customer service might be in the toilet at the moment but it's flight crew are worlds-best.
