I have flown the 747-400 a couple of times with KLM and maybe even the Combi variant. But I remember the 747-400 from KLM just being great. I used to play tetris with my father every time we got in an KLM 747-400 with those old remote controlers.

@toda2638 2 года назад

I also love the visual of the little regionals in front of the big United plane on the taxiway. I would suspect that the front regional is a CRJ due to the engines being aft (maybe a 700-900?), but I could be wrong. The even smaller one behind it might be a smaller regional (it appears smaller than even a CRJ-200) or private/contract commuter? It's not clear enough to count the number of windows on the big United plane at the back of the line, but B737/A320 would be my guess.

@v1spotter 2 года назад

Yeah it’s always cool to see the line up of planes awaiting departure. The first is a CRJ-700 (as you mentioned), the second is a challenger 605/605 (I think), and the third is a 777-200

@toda2638 2 года назад

@@v1spotter wow, I was way off on the size of the last plane! I can usually spot CRJ's by the aft engines (which makes them nice and quiet unless you're in the way back). Apparently my plane identification game could use some work for the big birds!

Why don't the engines have those little spinner things in them?

@v1spotter 2 года назад

I was initially curious about this as well. Some GEnx engine spinner cones don’t have the spiral on them for whatever reason, maybe weight savings? I saw the same thing with a few of the Dreamliners as well - however I believe most GEnx equipped aircraft have the spiral painted on the engine spinner now a days. The ones in this video are also tan as opposed to black, I assume due to the fact that the paint has worn off a bit.

@toda2638 2 года назад

This seems like a difference in vernacular. In the US, generally anything after 5 PM is "evening." "Afternoon" is noon to 5 PM. It's not about the daylight but the clock time. If dark was the difference between evening and afternoon, evening would start before 5 PM in December and at almost 9 PM in June, where this was filmed (I don't live far away).
