- Join us for the ultimate tour of one of the most amazing aircrafts in history.
The Boeing 747 SP was the fastest and most luxurious way to travel after Concorde. It was a shorter, stumpier version of the mammoth 747-200's of the 1970's. NASA still uses one today called SOFIA: Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy.
It's a truly remarkable aircraft! Enjoy the tour! She is parked at the SAA Museum Society at Rand Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa.
A SPECIAL THANKS to Margaret Boshoff for giving such a fabulously enjoyable and detailed tour!

That aircraft was leased to Air Mauritius between 1984 and 1994 and carried the name "Chateau du Reduit". Flew it in 1985, 1987 and 1992.
Oh that's awesome, thanks for the information:)
Qantas 747SP Sydney to Wellington early '80's. I remember sitting at the bar and having a beer and a cigarette looking out at the clouds below.
How very glamorous!! #jealous
Margaret is AWESOME!! so is the rest of the SAAMS museum staff.... I love visiting Maluti when I'm in town from the States!
It's an incredible museum 😍
I love watching this video I truly miss flying on the 747 SP so many great memories in that plane ✈️
I remember as a child around the late 80's or early 90's flying to lisbon and the flight stewardess asking me if i'd like to come see the cockpit. A memory i still treasure. SAA in that era were truly the best of the best
No more cockpit access for anyone!
A beautiful time capsule. Nostalgic. Thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely fabulous. Brought back so many wonderful memories. of working for SAA in the 70s. I worked in that galley on many flights. So good. Thank you.
Aaah glad you enjoyed it! It's a magnificent aircraft isn't it. I never got to fly on ir though.
When I first started working for Pan Am in 1986 I flew on many 747 planes ✈️ and the 747SP
Wow that's incredible, so jealous :))
@@CoolCapeTravel It was a great career I miss flying
Thank you for uploading your video of Maluti 747SP. The Boeing 747SP is my most favourite airliner. I always think of it as a mini Boeing 747. It’s so great to show an entire walk through of a 747SP. There are a few videos of the Iran Air and Syrian Airlines SP but never with a compete walkthrough like this. Great video!
That's awesome. Glad you enjoyed it. Its a super cool aircraft!
I have flown on this SP & others from SA to UK as a kid. Loved it as a 7 year old. Very special aircraft.
Also, on more than one occasion, the pilots would have my sister & I sit with them on the flight deck!
Wow! Those were indeed different times ! Jealous!!!
@@CoolCapeTravel This is what made me interested in aviation! I would boast to my school friends about flying on the SP. I am 52 now & still love flying, but when I was reminded of how much leg room we had on the SP I was appalled at todays standards!
This was an awesome find! YT recommended and so happy it did! Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Awesome tour, thank you-so glad the aircraft is still with us :-)
Me too!
Always wanted to see the straight staircase. Thankyou
Travel will never have that classic feel ever again
Timeless
It is a fine machine:)
Maluti is my favorite, I loved this plane so much that I took my matric farewell photos in and round her. Even the GPU was connected for the event
O wow that's awesome. To see it all lit up!
It most definitely was a breathtaking experience.
THIS IS AMAZING THEN 747 IS ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME AIRCRAFT EVER MADE! IT GREAVES ME THAT THEY QUIT MAKING THEM!
Yes it is indeed 😒
1 minor correction SAA had six (not 5) Special Performance Jumbo's.
Sweet thanks!
Great video👍, love these aircraft from the past
That SP was like the Porsche of the 747 fleet 😁
I just did some math. She takes +-190 000 Liters, so about 7600 25L jerry cans. I'll go past Midas to get batteries...let's go take her for a spin :)
Sign me up! I wonder if it can do a handbrake turn 🤔
I'd rather fly on this.
Yup. Me too.
What were all the names of SAA's 747's?
Lebombo, Drakensberg, Tafelberg, Soutpansberg, Magaliesberg, Johannesburg, Durban, CapeTown.......
@@CoolCapeTravel Awesome! Thank you!
