747 Pilot Refuses To Land 

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 😊

747 will forever be the Queen of the sky.

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

Bye bye 747! You were the best!

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.

Small Fokker and the Tatra Mountains. Beautiful!

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

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

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!

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

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)

The 380 was never a threat To the 747.

The Qantas landing felt like I'm watching F-16

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

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. 🛩

I hope the AeroSucre pilots are ok. Haven't seen them in a while 😟

Was the first one the 'pilot refused to land'? I'm confused, but VERY satisfied, this is one of your FINEST videos, I absolutely loved every second, the last 747 tribute was emotional and more so if the pilot made it happen, the threshold suddenly appearing at minimums was astonishing, I only saw and flew in a Fokker 100 once (from Truk Lagoon, amazing diving!) so it was a buzz to see another one, such pretty little things, and the speed that 737-800 had on board without flaps was crazy. Another channel could have gotten half an hour out of this :)

Really enjoyed this video ❤ love the queen of the skies !

Gotta love the sound of those mighty Rolls-Royce Tay engines on the F100!

Back in the seventies worked in an aircraft machine shop,, machining 747 internal Wing parts on 5 axis, the parts had extensive machining however they were still a heavy part...

That Jumbo is not "dumping fuel" its venting not dumping

lol Surprisingly, that Qantas landed like a butterfly with sore feet.

If we are perfectly accurate, when the "minimum" rings, there is no visual on the runway nor the lighting system

747, best looking bird in the sky, only my opinion 👍🏻😎

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.

I love the sound of an F100 during takeoff, such a unique sound

Can't wait for that Air Canada hard, bouncy landing at YYZ yesterday, to show up here.

Qantas landing was incredible , nice vids this round :) as always

Great video!😸

2:02 Nothing better than some JET-A in your morning coffee!

👍 thanks again!! :)

Thank you for Featuring my video!

The takeoff and landing of every plane is beautiful. Airplanes are the best invention 👍👍👍

I have been a passenger on a 747 only once. But it was an odd experience. A colleague and I had taken a small private plane to LAX to catch a plane to Chicago, but we got there too late. We had to take one late at night. There had been some issue where the airline needed to move a 747 from Los Angeles to Chicago for a Hawaii flight the next day. The plane was deadheading with no passengers, except for the two of us. (I'm sure that wasn't a situation the airline wanted to get itself into wasting all the fuel and crew time. Perhaps they had a mechanical issue with a plane in Chicago.) We told the crew they didn't have to do anything for us, and we mainly slept. And spent some time walking around the empty plane. It was a bit surreal.

The 747, a true lady in the sky and forever the Queen. Heartbreaking production has ended.

I flew many times to Hawaii on the 747 when they had the lounge upstairs with the piano. It was fantastic the 747 is a beautiful aircraft.

Nice

Super sad about the last 747 cracking plane, cracking times!!

I grew up in a small town. My dad used to take us to the airport once in a while to wait and watch the turboprop land at night which was once a week. He took us to Dairy Queen to get Dillys. Sometimes went for rides for no reason at all. Had a Donald Duck hose sprayer fountain in the front yard one summer.

2:00 That isn't a fuel dump, the fuel dump is out near the tips of the wing on a 747 (outboard of the slow speed ailerons), whatever it is it's coming from the #1 engine/strut and could either be a hydraulic or a fuel leak. The 747 has 4 independent hydraulic systems which are housed in the rear of the engine struts.

Stunning 747. Love those babies ❤

1:00 nice butter!

The Qantas 737 had no flaps but still buttered it😮

In the first 737 video there is no touchdown and the touchdown zone finished .. that would be a mandatory go around or a red flag on the fdm..

Getting a little click baity.... I lose trust fast when that happens 😕

Where did that guy film the 747 at cruising height from? Did he have a massive lens or something?

This music is fun :D

Which video was it where the pilot refused to land?

I wonder if and how far removed these 400's are compared to the first off the line 30+ years ago. I wonder if there's stuff 'under the hood ' thats borrowed from the neo series for example

at 00.58 I dont know UK CAA rules, BUT most authorities like EASA a CAT2 app has to be done with AP engaged and AUTO LAND ON to a certain point, in this case it was CAT2 manual, perhaps an issue like low fuel or a FAA airplane and pilots that CAT2 may be done manually w FDs ON

Salute to the Captain of the 747!

Does anyone know at which airport the QANTAS plane landed? That was one fast landing.

So, where is the vid of the plane which refused to land? It’s not on this clip I guess…. Is the plane still in the air?

That my friend is what they call a low approach. Not bad for a 747.

Originally the 747 was just going to be mainly a cargo carrier once the SSTs arrived on mainstream use. Doubt Boeing thought in 1966 that the 747 would have such a long run (or perhaps the 737 too).

Corrected title: "Pilot of the Last 747 Ever Built Flies a Low Pass"

This may or may not be a stupid question! When planes dump fuel doe's it evaporate or come down as rain?

1:36 Wow. He is flying!

Showing off it's Krueger flaps. Most early jet airliners, such as the Boeing 707 and Boeing 747, used Krueger flaps only.

Can I ask, have all Jumbo jet production now ceased, by jumbo jet I mean the very large planes like the 747 and the 380?

Imagine Ryanair 737 pilot with flaps issue…

The 737 cockpit view landing at Stansted; what is this captain doing?! Taking your hands off the throttles (and thus the TO/GA buttons) when disconnecting the autopilot? At such low altitude?! And subsequently flaring too high, whilst adding thrust and therefore floating down the touchdown zone. A perfect example of a (too long) power ON landing. 😂

😪 RIP 747!

I live by an airport. Do they sometimes dump fuel on my house and me?

Co-pilot: lets land this heavy plane Pilot: *NO*

Leaving the desert in iraq in 91 late at night pitch black no lights we arrived somewhere and waited then all of a sudden they turned on their lights we were 50 yards from a big beautiful 747 waiting to take us back to germany the sight of that gigantic plane sitting there was awsome the pilots and flight attendants waving at us from the cockpit hatch was way cool my squad loaded all the baggage in the cargo hold and we got to ride 1st class all the way home double steak dinner o ya 😊

The 747 cargo was not dumping fuel. If it was that you would have it on each wing. In that case it’s a jettison valve who is leaking.

That 747 flyby is not from KPAE. I fly out of there multiple times a week and do not recognize any of that scenery.

So this means a high speed taxi test would be a refusal to takeoff? 😂

Never let the real title of your first clip get in the way of the fake title of your whole video.

700hrs flying time I think I loved every second just so lovely gimme giimme give me one of my own

When the pilot realized he left that pot roast in the stove 2000 miles away lol

Dumping fuel?......what a load of rubbish. The dump vent is out near the wingtip.

737 👍

👍

This is simple fly over , he never refused to do anything, misleading title .

Farewell, Queen of the Skies.

So whats going to replace the 747F? There are no other civilian front loading freighter aircraft.

lights not visible at minimums, should’ve gone around?

One think i like your channel your tumb nails are original what you display is always 100 original on videos

That 737 should have been on autopilot until landing assured. Fly manual approaches in good visibility or in the sim.

Farewell giants of the sky

That second clip: "737 pilot refuses go around!:

Absolute greaser by the Q pilot, given the tech issues👍

Won't the new presidential planes be the final 747s produced?

Why refues???❤ no sop

The 747 is still flying. It’s called Air Force one for the President of the United States. I’m sure at 7:47 will always be the presidents choice. Thank you for allowing me to post a comment Leonard Vinci

Read up on leading-edge flaps, droop flaps, and Krueger flaps : )

That video was only 2:58 long I want my other 2 seconds of aviation.

Why dump fuel?

“Minimums” …. Procedes to fly another 4 seconds until runway is in sight .

Kelsey @74gear "not this time"

NGL the end of 747 production makes me very sad. I wish it wasn't so ... 😢

I always confuse Slovakia with Slobovia.
