Since i was a little kid, i had a strange affection towards these small diameter, smoky and noisy engine. Even today, I'd still took a time to watch these low bypass tubofans jets. I also missed these quad and trijets dearly.
Fantastic video! A stark contrast to the boring jets of today. It was great to see such a good variety of older airlines in action many of which are rarely seen at the airports of today. I still believe the best looking plane was the 727!
@@cindysue5474 Classic Jet-wise , I’m a 707 fan but the 727 is a close second. My favorite 747 is a 747-400 series. have flown them with British ,Qantas ,and United. I flew on classic 747’s with both TWA and Pan Am.
Yes, and the 727. I was hoping to see L-1011's. But I only for sure noticed one (near the end). Were there more? Enjoyed the 727's, there seemed to be many 707's --cool, the rare Vickers Viscount VC10, and the 747's, and Concorde.
It doesn't get much better than this. I used to look forward to seeing the weekly Spantax Convair 990 flying over my house on finals to Glasgow Airport, stunning looking and sounding aircraft. My favourite aircraft from that era was to be seen several times every week at Prestwick Airport, Air Canada's stretched DC8 62 flying in from Toronto. Thanks for posting 😊😊
Great footage of classic jets. Really miss the day's when flying meant getting aboard something other than today's cookie cutter, twins on the wings, every plane looks the same commercial jets. Thanks!
it's just like cellphones ... remember when they were colorful and had unique designs? ... nowadays every phone looks the same, just a big touch screen with a couple of cameras on the back.
@@AysarAburrub Not just that either. Cars aswell. They want everything looking the same with no personality at all. Nothing modern stands out anymore. People back then had great ideas and used them ideas.
The High School I graduated from ('84-'88) was less than a mile from the runway of our airport directly under the main runways fight path so when planes took off they were literally just putting their gear up when they flew over and they were loud! So loud that our teachers usually had to stop talking until they passed. Some just kept talking. You began to learn which planes where the loudest, esp just before they passed over. 727's & DC-9's were the loudest while MD-80'S were relatively quiet. When they switched to having planes land over us it was a nice break because they weren't as loud.
My friend Bob was an aeroplane designer back in the sixties. He designed a plane called the D- 44. It didn't have any wings. The idea never really took off though!! Great footage here! Just love it! Thanks for posting
I lived under the take off flight path at Heathrow and remember the Tridents operated by BEA and later BA.They were really noisy, and came over every couple of minutes. On the plus side you still had plenty of turbo props about. Vanguards, Viscounts, and even the odd Brittania freighter.
The Trident was a great looking airliner! They sure did dominate the skies in their time when faster air travel over the turbo props was in great demand. I heard they were particularly noisy and pilots were forced to throttled back after take-off to ruduce the noise levels for UK residents near airports. I renember some contravercy about the sound abatement rule where a Trident stalled and crashed near Stanes soon after take-off. Aircrash invessigators claimed the forward flaps (dropps) were inadvertently retracted during the climb that resulted in the stall. Strange how that could happen, it's like when pilots forget to set flaps before take-off. That always results in a catastrophic accident and hundreds if not thousands of lives were lost because of that one mistake in air-travel history. That's why when I fly, I always choose a window seat behind the wings where I can see the flaps deployed before take-off so I can relax and know the plane will be capable of flight! I tnink all CFIT (controlled flight into terrain) accidents could have all been avoided if just one more peice of technology was fitted as standard to all airline cockpits; infra-red display. Imagine that? No more IMC flights crashing into mountains so simple and would work well to confirm GPWS alerts!
I don't know if this is original sound or dubbed, but it's very well put together. Just look at all that variety at1:20 and 1:30; TWA 707 taking off, Pan Am 747, JAL 747, TMA 707, Lufthansa 707, LOT Il-62 ...
I always thought the Convair 990A otherwise known as CORONADO was the sexiest jet ever built, the 4 aft wing pods gives it a "super" look, seen here in SWISSAIR colors.
Interesting video. There was one CV-990 I caught, but no 880s. Too bad. That was a really nice plane, and the fastest airliner ever built, except of course for the Concord.
The sounds and smell of a B707 close up on start up is something embedded in my memory. When I say close up, I mean a few feet away from the air start unit !!
The sounds that are right are very good. And the vision is excellent. Thanks for putting the clips together. It is surprising how good one’s memories of sound are. VC10s and the early 747s are unforgettable!
@@imonymous (sorry for the delay!) It was removed because it was difficult to rapidly retract the deployed speedbrake in case of a go-around maneuver (rejected landing).
Man !!!!!! MAIQUETIA Aeropuerto Intl Simón Bolivar ,La Guaira Venezuela.. I flew in those VIASA DC-10 to New York,Madrid,London Paris,and Miami till I got dizzy. Again thank you for sharing. Braniff to Santiago Chile.
Anything from the 80s seems more real and lively to me. But Im an 80s baby so Im slightly biased. These sounds remind me of what planes USED to sound like.
Simply superb... thanks so much for sharing...!!! ( Today ...99 percent of aircraft look the same ....and sound the same...just colour schemes are different..!!! Boring as hell...those were the " exciting and observable days.. !!
Donaldkhan Sansuijapan you are very brave by writing about things you have no idea because Aeromexico had both DC10-30 and the Series 15. The one in the video clip is a Series 30, easily recognized by the ventral landing gear to support the larger weight of the aircraft.
I was born in the wrong era! It’s shame so many of these aren’t flying anymore due to the epa and noise complaint bs. I would love to own a convair 880, DC-8, 707, 747-200, TU-134, TU-154, Bac-111, Dc-10, trident, Tristar, Dc-9, Vc-10, Il-86, Caravelle, and of course the Concorde!
Merci d’avoir mis en ligne ce document ! Pour information, à découvrir sur la chaîne RU-vid : « PHIL DE RAIL » la vidéo : « La Caravelle figée ». Et si l’avion Caravelle m’était conté…
@@lyub4o69 Video cameras in the 70's were called cine cameras. They had no sound - only pictures. So what you see here are silent movies with some sound added after.
I know most of these clips are from movies because I recognized a bunch I've watched. The original movie soundtrack dubbing of the engine whines and wheels striking the runway just add to the effect you wouldn't be able to capture if you held the camera
I flew the plane for over six delightful years without a single problem. Unfortunately media, in its eagerness to make a quick buck, tell exaggerated half-truths that the uninformed public believe. As it is the DC10 remains my favorite aircraft.
Y'all would hate some of these UFO models... Fast as fuck like Chicago to Sydney in the matter of seconds but no noise except for a very faint humming. Definitely no smell of jetfuel either.
The aircraft sounds on this are so obviously edited in afterward. After the best part of 40 years in the industry do you really think mixing up the sound of high bypass ratio engines and turbo jets was going to go unnoticed... not to mention the out and out shameless use of the take off from crocodile Dundee
I never mentioned that I am the one who filmed all these scenes. I just combined clips from different movies, so the sound/sounds are from the same movies, not edited by me... :)
Lyubomir Ganchev fair enough. I actually posted the question then noticed you’d explained that to someone else in a response. I understand you’re not the original producer so all good, it’s annoying that the original film was subjected to that editing beforehand :-)
