I didn’t want this video to end! What amazing memories. Beautiful liveries with cheat lines, eye browed 737s, no winglets, and a cameo from a Northwest 727 (Pistons charter?). Many airlines now defunct. The Continental livery was actually beautiful until they slapped the UNITED titles on it. The industry (and world) would change in just a couple years after this was all filmed. Thanks for memories-miss these days. I was actually working for Alaska Airlines ramp at SEA during this time.
20:52 N717TW now flying for Delta, ship 6812, as a mechanic for DAL it's kinda cool to see where that aircraft was originally destined to go to. RIP TWA
757 has got a long life ahead of it. DL and UA have been keeping theirs for a while, and have no imminent retirement day. There are also many other European and Asian operators.
im just shocked that how so much big airliners (exept of the small propeller and 737 planes) can land in such a short runway. very great performance boeing! .0
Now that I'm a spotter in the Seattle area it's awesome to see what used to go down at our airports. Loved all the 747's parked where the 787 is now parked at PAE.
Yessir! The original 737 NGs didn’t have winglets. The first one to use winglets was a Hapag Lloyd 737-800 in 2001 but airlines started retrofitting them with winglets in the mid to late 2000s. Eventually they came standard with winglets.
@@josiahslate7374 No this is a 767-400. One Single 767-400 received the Interim livery and even flew like this for a few years. Never knew that before seeing it here.
I looked it up and according to Google British Airways had a leased freight fleet. That one being operated by Atlas Air from the late 90s till 2014. I’ve never heard of it before either.
@@cutliss Boeing Field handles all kind of traffic, from GA, corporate, cargo, Boeing test flights. I'm not sure how much scheduled passenger service they have at the moment.
@@jefftempleton5832 I think the only passenger service is maybe kenmore air, one or two private charter airlines and that's about it. Also BFI is used for a fuel stop for the military.
1998-1999 Context. 1. 777-300 flight test (non-ER) but the next successful launch (777-LR study) of the 777-300ER and -200LR will take place a few months later in February 2000. 2. Mc Donnel Douglass early merged (1997) . 3. First parts cut in 1998 for the 767-400ER, flight test in 1999 before delivery (2000). 4. 757-300 first deliveries. 5. New re egined 737 NextGen 737-800NG model delivered first (before -900, -600 years -700. 5.747-400, Queen of the Sky delivery about to slow down due to announced market transformation ... 6. 20 years before the Covid19 pandemic, 7. 11 years before delivery of the first 787-8 Dreamliner and 747-8Intercontinental and 10 before delivery of the 747-8 Freighter. 8. Launch of the 737MAX (4th generation engine). Civil aviation is a relatively slow cycle. What will it be for 2040? ...
so we are not gonna mention that most of the planes in the video wich were brand new back then are now retired or ending their service life? cool and sad video at the same time!!
You should correct the title to refer to Boeing Field. I didn't see any Renton footage in the video, only Boeing Field and a few segments at Paine Field in Everett where the widebodies are built.
think about it, seeing a 737NG at this time is equivalent to seeing a MAX today. seeing the 747-400 then is equivalent to seeing the 747-8 and the 777-300ER is equal to seeing a 777x. how things have changed. also the glimmer on that chrome american 738 is astonishingly beautiful. nothing like you see today
Those PW4000 engines on the non-ER 777-300s at BFI. Those were terrible, noisy, inefficient and underpowered for that generation compared to the competition. IIRC most non-ER 777-300s used Trent 800 power. This is when P&W was entering the dark ages which they have only recently begun to re-emerge from with their fantastic GTF technology than nobody could seem to master for decades. Great footage.
The B747 landing ACCIDENT --at Renton -- is on RU-vid : "Boeing 747-121 - Crash Landing Renton - 1969" . See the comments there. See NTSB AAR 70-19 Boeing Company ferry-to-factory [flight-test -to- refurb-mx at Renton] flight of B747 RA003, N732PA, 13Dec69. During landing approach at Renton airport Runway 15, aircraft struck embankment short of threshold -- thirty inches lower than runway level. The right wing landing gear and #3 and #4 engine cowls . . .
Here we are in 2024. Excuse my language but what the hell happened to this once magnificent company ? The people in charge, are destroying it !!! 😮😢😒😵Time stamp 12:56, the sports car of the airways taking off like a rocket !!! Love you 757 !!! ❤❤🥰🥰
WAIT WHAT?! I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE 777-300 WAS IN DEVELOPMENT IN THE LATE 90S! But only a few airlines ordered it until the 777-300ER came out it was the most successful. The 777-300ER was the most successful. The 777-300 (standard version) not that much.
Yep. Actually, the 777-300 is built for short to medium haul routes. JAL and ANA uses more dense ones for high capacity, domestic routes. The 777-300(ER) comes next, becoming the most popular 777 variant.
