The air to air footage of the DC-6. There are no words strong enough to convey how impressive that was. The weather, the scenery, and the classic airplane all came together so perfectly. What I wouldn't give to get shots like that! 😍
@@brianrigsby7900 What they are doing is using reverse thrust. They throttle down upon landing, then they deploy air spoilers on the wings. When the aircraft has settled they engage reverse thrust and run the engines up for the most power to slow the aircraft. If you watch the engines, you will see the reversers deploy as the engines ramp up. The trusters force air forward acting as brakes. If you watch at 6:00, you'll see one reverse thruster design, but these are not as powerful as the kind used on most other jet aircraft. I was surprised to see such an early deployment here.
@@joeyjamison5772 I was deadheading on a DC8 inbound to Atlanta and the pilot wanted to stay high for awhile longer so when we did start to go down he just went to idle on all 4 and opened the reversers on 2 of them. It was a fun ride🤗
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how steady the camera panning was on that Azerbaijan Gov aircraft during taxiing? Fantastic video from start to finish!
Some of the most beautiful, stunning, and steady aircraft videography I've seen on RU-vid over the last 10-15 years! It was such a joy NOT to feel sea-sick thanks to camera vibration or poor tracking. And the detail covering each aircraft was both succinct yet detailed enough for me to go do some searching. I had no idea so many on 707 airframes had either the original engines or, on the flip side, been kitted out with some nice modern-looking engines. Just goes to show how a soundly-designed and built airframe can play the "axe head/axe handle" game for many decades, ha ha.
Thank you so much for your kind and positive feedback and comment! We really appreciate that! Very nice to see so many active 707 with old engines, the sound nails it every single time!
Those were fun, especially looking at the engines of the KC135. Definitely upgraded from those first mounted in 1962. And a 60 year old airplane that looks nearly new. Kudos to the maintenance boys. Wow.
Definitely a nice and good-looking aircraft! The USAF did a really good job! Thanks a lot for your support and the kind comment! We really appreciate it!
the 747-SP is the infrared airborne observatory SOFIA, probably the most expensive and heavily modified non-military aircraft in the world. It has a 2.5 m telescope at the back that can track on a star in the sky with pixel accuracy during bumpy flight. It started service at Pan Am as the Clipper Lindbergh. Sadly now the mission is shutdown and the plane is awaiting conversion to a museum at Pima. I flew on it 24 times and will treasure those memories for my life.
Hi, Yes correct it is in Austria, during the Airpower 2022. The airfield is called Zeltweg Hinterstoisser Air Base and is located in Styria. We hope that helps you with the question :)
Incredible footage, iconic aircraft. Angles, lighting, focus, detail, all just amazing. Some of the best planespotting I've ever seen, and I watch a LOT of it.
The Red Bull DC-6 is the second to last one ever produced and has quite an interesting history. It was officially owned by JAT (Yugoslav Airlines) and served as Yugoslav presidential plane, Yugoslav AF-1, of president Tito. It was donated to Zambia together with her sister ship to serve as presidential plane of president Kenneth Kaunda. After that it served as an airliner for some time. After a few years of service it was stored on the ground untill Red Bull discovered it, bought and painstakingly restored.
Thanks a lot for this history part! Always interesting to learn the hidden life of an "historic" plane! So on this video, the plane is just "amazing of beauty"!!!
Looks factory fresh, FR. It’s just such a shame that Douglass Aircraft doesn’t exist anymore, for practical purposes. Vertical integration of industry has been terrible, especially for taxpayers. It limits innovation, competition and allows for ridiculous cost overruns.
Flew on the A340 with Virgin Atlantic from LHR to Delhi back in 2009 and I also flew on the A380 with SIA to Sydney the same year, two amazing aircraft.
I can never get over the A340s. I've flown on them several times in my life and love seeing the wings flex with wheels hanging down. Azerbaijan has the best livery for the A346 in my opinion.
What was the Illlushin pilot thinking, deploying the thrust reversers @ 06:06 ,whilst still airborne? That shouldn't be possible without deliberately locking out various sensors. Ask Lauda Air about that one.
This is an absolutely fabulous video! Thank you so much for posting it. There is just an amazing beauty to these big airplanes that can't be denied. Especially the 747. It's still is a gorgeous looking airplane even to this day. The quality of the photography in this is probably the best I've ever seen on RU-vid. Once again, great job. Loved this!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and comment! We really appreciate that! The 747 is truly an amazing aircraft! Absolutely beatiful! Thanks a lot again, we are glad you like it!
I flew many, many hours on board C-118 and C-54 aircraft throughout Central and S America jn the late 60’s and early 70’s. They were military versions of DC6 and DC4. Were very similar. C-118 had square windows and C-54 had round windows. That was easiest way to tell difference.
Spectacular cinematography. Incredible video collection of 4 engine aircraft in flight. I used to be a crew member onboard a US Air Force C-135B test aircraft and just eat this stuff up like popcorn. Nice work!
Ich weiß nicht, wie ich Ihnen dafür danken soll, dass Sie dieses faszinierende Video all dieser Flugzeuge gepostet haben. Sie haben es wieder geschafft, mein Interesse zu wecken und mich vollkommen zu entspannen, während ich es genoss, diesen Giganten der Lüfte zuzuhören und zu sitzen. (English: I do not know how to adequately thank-you for posting this mesmerizing video of all these aircraft. You have again managed to capture my interest and cause me to completely relax as I enjoyed sitting and listening to these giants of the air.) I am so sorry to be commenting so late. Life has been very distracting, and it has taken me a couple of days to view the entire post. However, I am so glad that I stuck with watching. Because of being late to comment, I’ll keep my comment short and just point out a small bit of trivia, in the event you do not know it. Apart from replacing the original engines on the modified Boeing 707’s, it is easy to detect which aircrafts have been modified with hush kits. If you compare the E-3C at @17:02 with the E-8C at @ 18:32, look at the front of the engine nacelles. The E-3C has the hush kit, because part of the modification was the removal of the auxiliary air intakes, which are present on the E-8C. From what I read, the hush kits hampered the aircraft significantly when dealing with crosswind landings and takeoffs. There were other undesirable results, but I guess that it kept someone happy with a quieter engine. Again, thank-you so much. I am anxiously awaiting your next post.
Thank you so much again for your kind comments and feedback! We absolutely appreciate that! No worries, we hope everything is fine and you are also fine? :) Your eye for detail is amazing, as always! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, really interesting facts about the engines and their modification! Thanks a lor for your awesome comments! We really appreciate them!
The first one from the Chinese AF looks like a c-130 fitted with jet engines. Amazing high resolution footage. The KC-135 approach toward the end was one of my favorites, gave a great viewpoint.
Would be in fact interesting to see the Y-20 with props! The 100th ARW just knows how to do it! :) Thanks a lot for your kind and positive feedback! We really appreciate it!
Thank you very much man! We really appreciate that! The DC-6 pilot was luckily very close to us and gave us that view! You have a very nice eye for details!
Je découvre vos vidéos et la première que je vois m'a "scotché" littéralement devant mon écran! Je ne me lasse pas de regarder tous ces gros bébés se mouvoir, et ai particulièrement apprécié la séquence avec le DC6 rutilant. Superbe qualité d'image, prises de vue comme si on était sur place, le son est bon, bref, j'en redemande! Bravo à vous, je vois que j'en ai encore quelques unes à découvrir! Et voilà, vous avez un abonné de plus! Je ne peux que vous dire merci et bonne continuation! Thumb up for the team!👍
A very nice compilation of birds. Thanks for filming the COMPLETE gear retraction sequence including door closing. Lovely closeups. Great editing and an awesome vid.
As ever FRA Productions have done another Fantastic Job at Capturing Brilliant Shots of Gorgeous Aircraft for Us Plane Loving People. The FRA Productions Crew can NEVER Be Faulted for there Fantastic effort. As always, Much Love From Birmingham UK. 🇬🇧🇩🇪❤️💪👍👍.
Very nice vids. 4 engine planes are so graceful especially the jets. The A340’s have an uncanny resemblance to the 707’s from the nose to the rake of the vertical tail section. The 707 and DC-8’s are remarkably stylish planes.
Absolutely beautifully captured.. stunning footage compilation and you doing an excellent great job.. gorgeous editing filming sharp and clear.. well done Sir.. TQSM from Mtl Cdn..
