Every single time I see an airplane take off and land I’m amazed. Flight is truly one of mankind’s most remarkable feats.

I have a camera, I have zip ties, I have high speed tape, but i am missing a 747.

You missed the bit where you freeze to death at cruising altitude, then fall out when the gear is lowered for landing, and hit the ground in some un-suspecting London residents back yard.

That's the view from the new economy class

Co-pilot: Positive rate, should I pull up the landing gear?
Pilot: Fuck off jerry, I'm trying to make a viral video

[JoshWomble]

That whole flight they were probably like "I wonder if the camera will still be there when we land" haha

Supersaver economy class on Ryanair. Bring your own thermal blanket and oxygen cylinder.

For some reason I never imagined the wheels to continue spinning after takeoff. Makes perfect sense though! Interesting.

[CyberDroneII]

Awesome! Finally there is really fotage taken from outside the plane without annoying/horrible music.

Perfect use of editing and fast forward. Didn’t waste time on the mundane and showed the interesting parts perfectly.

1:36 I thought the plane was about to do a sicko mode barrel roll

[danz]

weird to see a plane going so far with its landing gear out 

[Alex.ecreip]

this got put in everyone’s recommended after 8 years

[AgentJayZ]

Really cool.
Did you get the pilot to delay retraction just for your cam?

[maggiem]

The story of two South African stowaways on a BA flight brought me here

[jordanwalks]

Who else thought the plane was turning right?

I use to work on landing gear at Pan Am's Jet Center at JFK 1986-91. Every 5 or so years they would remove the gear, disassemble, clean and inspect all parts. Bore out all corrosion in all pin holes (which i mostly did on an horizontal boring machine or HBM.) New bushings were custom machined out of aluminum nickel bronze to fit in the over sized bores from the HBM. We did it all. I can't believe it's been 30 years since PanAm's closing on Dec.4 1991. Time really flies.

Glad this was in my recommended!

Now I know how it feels to be a _landing gear_

[legendaryraccoon]

I never knew 747's are so fast they take 5mins from airport to another
