Last landing of the KLM Boeing 747 at Sint Maarten (SXM) 🛬😍 

Gary Allen So the 747 as whole is being grounded??

@@swaggerific005 no they still use them for cargo

They aren't fuel efficient anymore compared to the dreamliner.

So sad Hugh, I miss seeing them flying around Heathrow

I thought it was the 727

They're not being retired for freight service - just passenger service.

And the 757 are dying....

You have got to be kidding. I work ground crew and i could tell you first hand you could seriously get hurt when these engines at]re at maximum thrust.

Nothing compares to the iconic Aircraft

Well described

@@hendrikhardung1083 I agree with you 100%

Get lost

@@RobertSmith-iu3kc nah don't think so mate

Notwithstanding the jet propelled aircrafts traffic it's still a beautiful site. Not so healthy possibly :-)

Theresa Myers too

Guess you never were on an aircraft carrier

Theresa Myersfrench speaking

Chris S yeah, the same can be said of just about everyone.

Snapper Organs so then you go, “well I guess you’ve never landed at Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Nepal, huh?” Yeah. That’ll do it. And not to mention the plane is nearly as long as some older carrier decks, so THAT would be a great stunt for a finale. Land one on an aircraft carrier. Even if it’s (the deck) is modified lightly. That would be a sight to behold. If they could go out and find a really stable and strong headwind to sail into, the plane would have that much more air speed over the wings but less actual landspeed so it won’t require as much runway. Awesome.

Thank you

And a lot of wind!

For airplane/airline enthusiasts as myself it is not boredom but excitement and expectation!

Luke Bartlett very true, I have flown in a 747 and they are great planes :)

It's just becoming better with the 747-8

Air Force one will be around for a long time, the batch that obama ordered have yet to be delivered.

@@maevaroquebert6691 UPS Airlines still use 747s

Maëva Roquebert it's simply dangerous because you increase the chance of having greater sink rate at that low of an altitude with airspeed bleeding off. Landing on the chevrons and piano keys is completely unnecessary for a runway that is 7,100+ ft long.

flyer737sw no

Allow me to give you my two cents. I witnessed an incident myself back in the 90s, when Air France was still operating the 747s in Saint Maarten. I was at the airport watching the 747 that was coming from Paris and that we would use later to go back to France, and the pilot missed the landing big time. The plane was flying so low that the tail hit the fence, we saw the flames and everything. Thankfully there was no further damage and the plane was able to land safely, but it got grounded for 3 days for repairs on the tail after the episode. I can tell you I was downright scared getting on that same plane after they fixed it, especially when some weird alarms went on mid-flight and the crew seemed to panic...Shortly after the incident, AF stopped using 747s in Juliana Airport.

Gary Wrong. Aerobus is selling fewer and fewer A380s,while Boeing's 747 sales have remained steady. The 747 is far more versatile simply due to the large number of variants available. Smaller versions,longer versions,passenger only versions,cargo only versions, combo versions,wide variety of engine choices. The 747s will still be flying after all the 380s are retired. The plane that is really selling right now is the 787. A gulf coast airline just bought 40 of them.

Darryl Bernard lol the 747 is also dying

Me encanta Chile

@@maevaroquebert6691 Why do you thank him? You're not the one responsible for those factors. You should agree, not thank him.

why brother?

It's obvious guys. The point of the video is last video of 747 in Saint Martin and Radiation Nuke is upset that he will never see a 747 in Saint Martin

@@aaronarshad3687 Most of these will be converted to cargo and will still see them in the sky's for decades to come.

@@ohwell2790 unfortunately not true, a couple of weeks ago the pax fleet and px combi fleet of the klm 747 got retired, they will be sent into the desert to be scrapped

The 747 still flying to other airports though =) I did see it live and it was amazing hopefully you did too Also from Australia 🐨

Pedro Mejias You right 👍👍👍🤗

Even QANTAS still operates those aircrafts, right? For the record, “The Flying Kangaroo” is my third favorite airline, after Air Tahiti Nui and Air New Zealand. (I am Tahitian, now residing in Europe).

Thank you.

Seriously! That's right

Thank you 🙏😄

No, that's also cool to see. Just skip?

fwd!!!!!!!!!! Stop complaining 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

That is not she. That in case you missed it is an airplane and airplanes do not have gender.

Oh well The plane is referred to as the “Queen Of the Skies” smart ass.
