Taking delivery of a 787-9 and flying it out of Boeing in Everett 

can you do one on the next like BA or Virgin Atlantic A350 delivery?

Part 2 The Landing please!!!

Next time can you do 25% off a Boeing 787-9 👏🏻🤩

Awesome and glad you enjoyed the pilot and video, thanks!

Sure he did, he is now the deputy CEO of gulf air atm!

It's only for the camera 😂

Really enjoyed the pilot detailed explanation of the instrument panels. Thanks.

I loved the IPAD he has with the flight path on the globe. Being able to zoom in and out with like google earth. 🌎 Pretty cool technology for them...

Yes, that helps us Sim pilots in FS 2020. BTW, the sim is so real they lost my luggage.

That pilot is doing exactly what he wants to do in life. You can tell from the passion in his voice. You can also tell that this 787-9 is his favorite toy.

A definate yes! Fun fact: the captain is now serving as the CEO of gulf air, cool isn't it!

I would be thrilled to have these guys as my pilots!

@@seanfyodorovich5230 not only pilots,we have good engineers,medical staff,bankers,....All are made in Bahrain, just relax and take it easy, by the way I am an engineer.

It was pain to listen fo. Cpt keep corrected him with atc

I would feel the same way. Always do a walk around. However there was a video I saw where a member of the flight crew had to be accompanied by armed guard to do the walk around. Is this common???

@@redstone51 No it is not common.

@@redstone51 I would like to see that video

The 787 is longer than the first flight made by the Wright Brothers.

You mean Santos Dumont.... LOL......Sorry, couldn't help it. Can't spoil the web intrigues, can u.

Great video and the pilot is very good in talking about the aircraft great teacher thanks

Yes totally. Remember being in Larnaca and their L-1011 crew came to stay at the same hotel I was... those were the days for sure

Very welcome Edwin, glad you enjoyed it!

@@justplanes Thank you for the upload. Do you have a video of their arrival and welcome into Bahrain?

Loved the Tristar in the 80's, Toilets at the rear where you could exercise your legs

He definately did an awesome job, he is now the CEO of gulf air! Cool isn't?

@@faveola5932 obnoxious much?

@@brkitdwn uh

He couldn't be more proud since he is leading the airline as a CEO now! He is awesome

haha yes!!!

I just flew on a British Airways 777-300 from Heathrow to JFK. It literally had "New Plane Smell". I asked the crew and I was told it was less than 1 month old.

So fresh and so clean 🧼

That was my gas...

You're very welcome! thanks!

Oh wow! very lucky 👍

Couldn't agree more! Was a fantastic opportunity to film this delivery/flight! Thanks!

You are very welcome Layla. We enjoy visiting Bahrain every time... 3x so far to visit and film Gulf Air!

You guys have one of the best teams in drag racing too. I used to work on the Bahrain 1 racing team before covid and Sheikh Abdulla and crew were amazing to work for. Between him and Stevie,they're unstoppable and have a great team.

LIKE TAKING A DUMP!!!!!! NEVER FINISHED TILL THE PAPER WORK IS OVER🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍🤪

@@SWC44 I don't want to watch a video of that either! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just thought, "I guess I'm not the only one that needs a pen and paper with my computer." It does seem silly.

Actually that was quite interesting, officially handing over the QRH and other manuals. I thought Boeing would have just thrown them in the glovebox......

Towing Package!! You know..ball hitch, hitch support (welded to the airframe), and an oil cooler!!🤣😅

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

Couldn't agree more!

Chinese sure can make them! 👍

Wow, very impressive, thank you for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video

Because no pax no payload, so they can bring much fuel

Glad you enjoyed the video Gary, thanks!

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Ya I love it as well!

hahaha

Lmao. Dont forget gap insurance

🤣😂😅

lol and also per captain, preserving the wiper blade life was more important than "gear up"

@@pundit116 You don't think you need it until some idiots smashes into you and wrecks the car a month after buying/leasing it, and your insurance cuts you a check for only 80% of what you paid. If you financed it or leased it, the bank wants all their money back, so you'll have to pay 20% out of pocket, unless you have GAP insurance. LOL

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it Richard!

Nah, you need to understand about crew composition, because there are 3 capts and 1 fo, so there will be a double captain composition.

@@thrustasymcomp9145 I know, but it rather rare to see that mix.

yes indeed for a delivery flight there were 3 Captains and a F/O if I remember... long flight too so there was plenty of rest for all.

Glad you enjoyed it Alex. We also have the Egyptair 787 delivery on our channel if you want to see more...

Very nice to live around Renton, you're lucky!

Electronic flight bags (EFB) are new within the last 20 years. You no longer update your Jepp book and lug pounds of paper around.

Glad you enjoyed it Wendy, thanks very much!

Are you an Indian?

Great landings have a lot to do with wind conditions.

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it and thank you

Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed the video and pilot!

Glad you enjoyed the crew and video!

Thanks very much!

Given the brakes are Messier-Bugatti…where VAG owns both Bugatti and Lamborghini…likely true.

What is that "KL 14"?.....

@@praburammadhan2618 kl 14 one of the most notorious district of Kerala Kasaragod 😭😭

@@jojyjohn7496 oh I see.... thanks....

Glad you enjoyed it and the memories! Thanks

They used to do that but I hear one time when they did it the keys fell down into the gutter and they couldn't start the plane. Hence why they don't do that anymore! 😅

Well it wasn't a jet but I was at the acceptance meeting when our customer (JAL) purchased the first of 27 Baron's from Beechcraft, it was weird they go through all of this paperwork and we sit for about 15min for the money transfer and it's all done!

I’ve done acceptance flights for my airline, and yes they do give you keys. It’s symbolic, but sure is a nice souvenir.

That’s why they show them to the pilot. He knows how many pins there are, and if he sees that many, he knows they are all out.

Yes it does.

Yes, I flew on a new 737 several years ago. Was it’s first revenue flight. Definitely had that new plane smell!

Perhaps they would have that New Smell of the Seats and the Rest of the Body. When passengers start coming in, the smell will stick to their clothing and diminishes with time. The smell on the body disappears during the maintenance process.😄😄😂

I’ve taken delivery of a new aircraft and they also have a beautiful new smell!

Damn! You beat me to it!!!!

👍👍

I want to know this too!

With all those millions being pay I’m assuming a full tank and more amenities for them to fly back

I did a 787 delivery flight for my previous airline about 5 years ago. I’m not sure if the fuel was paid for by Boeing, our company flight dispatchers made the flight plan and determined the fuel load and it was on the plane before I was. I don’t recall the exact figure, but based on the length of the flight it was around 90-100,000 pounds, which is roughly 15,000 gallons. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of fuel is a big freebie… but then again the 787 sticker price is pretty big as well. They did make a very nice little gift package for the flight crew with a bunch of Boeing and 787 labeled items, and since we shuttled back a few of our maintenance guys on the flight home, I gave a lot of it to them. Boeing did cater the plane, and the food and snacks were amazing. Even some bottles of Boeing wine which I took home and still have to this day (obviously couldn’t have on the flight).

Thank you David, glad you enjoyed the Captain and video.

Yes indeed and he along with Gulf Air have been really great to us. So far we've produced 3 films with the airlines, more recently a new one on their A321NEO... we would have been able to do more if it hadn't been for covid.
