not really that hard to find out. I mean surely someone recognises the airports youd just go thru the records of how many of that type landed at that airport over that period of time and day and theyd find out.
You missed the bit where you freeze to death at cruising altitude, then fall out when the gear is lowered for landing, and hit the ground in some un-suspecting London residents back yard.
Yours is a fair comment, stu skivens. This footage makes hitching an illegal ride on a plane look easy. I wonder if any of those that try it really have any idea at all what they are going to put themselves through before they most likely die. It scares the hell out of me being 40,000 ft in the air - and that`s when I`m on the inside of a plane....

On some aircraft if you don't apply the brakes before retracting the undercarriage you get some serious vibration to make you don't forget the next time!
Most times pilots 'tap the brakes' after take off and before raising the gear to stop the spin and prevent any internal damage. You can see this at 1:34 ish...
Ryan Veyr Just watching this video makes me reflect on all the good men who served as a gunner in a ball turret during the Second World War. Must have been scary as shit hanging down from the airplane like that with German Bf 109s cannons shooting at you. But then again, I managed to kill many gunners as well so never mind.
Erich Hartmann I feel bad for the one ball turret gunner who died because the retractable system malfunctioned and he was trapped in because the door was jammed. He was sadly crushed when the plane landed
I use to work on landing gear at Pan Am's Jet Center at JFK 1986-91. Every 5 or so years they would remove the gear, disassemble, clean and inspect all parts. Bore out all corrosion in all pin holes (which i mostly did on an horizontal boring machine or HBM.) New bushings were custom machined out of aluminum nickel bronze to fit in the over sized bores from the HBM. We did it all. I can't believe it's been 30 years since PanAm's closing on Dec.4 1991. Time really flies.
Major props to the camera man for his ability to maintain stability and control through all of the wind, vibration, and distraction. "Capability in the face of difficulty" should be his first skill listed on his resume!
I don't know why, but suddenly my respect for this whole aviation industry has just begun to increase, after seeing the fact that how inch by inch, they're so precise and accurate with their craft and that there ain't any chance of error , else the catastrophic consequences... DAMN , I LOVE YOU GUYS ! ❤❤❤
This may be the best plane video I've ever seen. Holy shit, how perfectly lined up with the centre line was that landing! How much does the pilot move the plane around to line up with the runway on final, especially when the tape is sped up! Awesome vid all round!
Thermal wear, oxygen mask, body harness and a couple of carabiners. Probably need some decent hearing protection too. Probably cheaper just to buy a ticket.
Not on the gear. In the compartment 1:46. Still need decent thermal wear and oxygen mask. Probably a good idea to have ropes to tie-in with. And hearing protection.
Impressive view, well handled fast taxiing times, real-time detailed take off and landing and the real engine and mechanisms sound complete the masterpiece.
Interesting perspective in this video, and a good watch for that alone. But, although that does appear to be a 747..... based on takeoff profile, and destination facilities, I do wonder wtf was the cargo (if any?) and where this was recorded. Previous comments claim it's Nairobi?
@@thefurbeastunderyourbed5012 yea, I thought the same thing! After positive - rate, gear up, right? V speeds where a tad late...I believe. Overall, it was a nice vid. 💯
Nice but not a 747. Just load the video without lying about the description....we're adults and this video is cool no matter what type of aircraft it is..........
@@paulstewart2ndchannel the main bulge in the wing spar tanks looks like an Airbus. Nose wheel strut is not long enough for a 757, maybe someone knows the type and can tell us.
This is some great video. You can see that the nose doesn't come down until the engine reversers are engaged. It takes alot of thrust to stop a plane...especially a 747.
If they could pre-spin the wheels up to landing speed I bet they could considerably extend the life of the tyres as I'll bet 99% of the wear comes from the impact wheel spin, An electric motor could achieve that; it would also provide the ability to taxi on battery power saving the not inconsiderable amount of fuel included for extended taxiing and waiting in the queue. The additional weight of the fuel saved would be offset by the additional batteries and the electric motors on the main gear but this is all existing technology?
It was a US Bomber the Lockheed Constitution that had "rotorvane" wheels that spun the wheel up to landing speed. They only built 2 prototypes. Don't think any Boeings had this feature.
Reverse thrust on before the front landing gear touched the asphalt, a common mistake happening more often today. Also traveling long distance with landing gear down, an aerodynamic enemy.
I don`t know whether you have ever been close to a Boeing 747, but they are quite large machines. That front landing gear is going to be about 30 meters away from the camera. Consider the wing-flaps /winglets that stand at 90 degrees upright to the rest of the wing on a Boeing 747 :400. When I was sat at London Heathrow Airport on one of these planes I would have guessed that the winglet was about 2 to 3 ft high. They are 7 foot high.
Every single time I see an airplane take off and land I’m amazed. Flight is truly one of mankind’s most remarkable feats.
With enough thrust, even you can fly! Check out Jetman, that's cool!
And also one of the most polluting.
Jere Joy I wouldn't be too amazed with the 737 max
I spend an hour or two flying without the aid of a plane when I’m blazing most evenings 🔥 🚬
Look up the fly board
I have a camera, I have zip ties, I have high speed tape, but i am missing a 747.

For some reason I never imagined the wheels to continue spinning after takeoff. Makes perfect sense though! Interesting.
Exactly what I thought
You'll often feel a vibration through the plane as they spin down
On some aircraft if you don't apply the brakes before retracting the undercarriage you get some serious vibration to make you don't forget the next time!
Most times pilots 'tap the brakes' after take off and before raising the gear to stop the spin and prevent any internal damage. You can see this at 1:34 ish...
arrrgee lol...how fucked up is that a vid that is 7 yrs old gets the same comment within a few minutes??? Crazy 😜
Awesome! Finally there is really fotage taken from outside the plane without annoying/horrible music.
What's more annoying is some people complaining about the background music. Just mute it
But thank GOD there's still someone willing to complain even when it's not an issue. True necessity there!

weird to see a plane going so far with its landing gear out
I'm sure it was for the video only.
danz409 Perhaps it was an airworthy test.

1; air brakes to lose altitude.
2; landing gets busy, best to get things ready early.
Majority of the time in Aircraft, gear down is accompanied by a certain flap setting per the checklists and standard operating procedures
usaswimmer1020 and so the plane doesn't scream at you
Excellent video! Tastefully done without any background music covering up the sounds. Thank you!

"Zip ties and high speed tape"
Now, do that with crosswind
And at Kai Tak if it was still around, with bad weather
Absolutely freakin' awesome video. Thanks so much and I would love to see more.
Absolutely LOVED this video... now that's a POV!
For a true Stowaway view you need to drop the camera to the ground when the landing gear comes down again.
I can't believe how short the journey was! LOL
Actually, world shortest flight is about 45 seconds. From takeoff till landing.
Very cool video. What a cool perspective, Thanks for sharing!
Wow ! AWESOME VIDEO ! Interesting view. Thanks for sharing it.
Is it just me or does it seem the gear went up a little late?
Pretty sure the reason was to give us as much recorded video time outside the wheel wells as possible.
Hans Krebs They drop the gear pretty early as well
Some MEL's require it to be extended as much as 7 minutes after departure.
Sometimes we leave the gear down on take off to cool the hot discs - from a lengthy taxi.
Positive climb gear up
1:50-This would be when your frozen corpse would drop out.
If Hypoxia kicks in at 28,900ft, it would take about 20 minutes before he/she would become brain-dead, and then a corpse...
Thermal wear, oxygen mask, body harness and a couple of carabiners. Probably need some decent hearing protection too.
Probably cheaper just to buy a ticket.
Stunning footage. Thank you.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing
Where the part my frozen lifeless body falls out. Couple years ago in Milton Massachusetts somebody fell out the landing gear. Dead of course.
Happened in the U.K. last week
Thermal wear, oxygen mask, body harness and a couple of carabiners. It's stowing away in a wheel-well not rocket science.
I was in Manchester when I heard the news about a Man that fell from Kenya Airline to a Garden in London few weeks ago .
Barry Michael, there was also a guy who fell and landed one meter from a sunbather.
So cool when the gear went in!
Waited a long time for a video like this.
Thankyou.
The video no expected, but still watched out of Curiosity
Not sure if stowaways sit on the main gear like that but it was an interesting view.
It's happened before and a very few survived the trip.
Not on the gear. In the compartment 1:46. Still need decent thermal wear and oxygen mask. Probably a good idea to have ropes to tie-in with. And hearing protection.
Meaning No one survived.
Lovely video. The wheels were going at mad pace!
I’ve watched thousands of aviation videos and this one is the coolest video ever. Love it when the gear retracts! Are those Goodyear radials?
smooth landing
Something that would be interesting is the temperature and oxygen level with the view.
That was so cooool - wow ! the best vid seen in along time - Thanks

Who in there right minds thinks it’s ok to leave landing gear out AT ATLEAST 15,000ft good vid tho

I reckon it was a test flight maybe following some maintenance or prior to a ferry flight to a new location.

This 747 was super light on takeoff...must've been a test or something.
Takeoff and landing are also on the same airport as far as i can see

That is an interesting view. I didn’t realize how long those wheel keep spring after take off
Problem happens upon landing when stowaway is sound asleep on the rear landing gear and the door comes open.
Most likely they were asleep permanently when it opened.
Dead asleep???
These are Mount Everest Death Zone conditions for 3 to 6 hours.
Reverse thrust on before the front landing gear touched the asphalt, a common mistake happening more often today.

i wonder how can a small landing gear that so small it looks like its about to break easily hold a fully loaded giant af 747...
I suggest you go stand next to it, to see how small it really is. Because it isn't.
Plus this doesnt look like a 747
I don`t know whether you have ever been close to a Boeing 747, but they are quite large machines. That front landing gear is going to be about 30 meters away from the camera.
