BOEING 747 LOSING FUEL during DEPARTURE - B747 Classic

- This Boeing 747 of Air Atlanta operated a flight between Düsseldorf and Jakarta (Indonesia / 6100 miles). The captain of this flight saw my video and responded: "It's actually fuel coming from vent line via the wing tip vent. I was the capt on the flight and had to fill 600kg of paperwork afterwards". Another engineer told me that there's a wing fuel tank vent box in the tip of all planes. When the fuel gets too full in the tanks it overflows into the vent box and (obviously) out the vent. The wings flexing probably caused the fuel to shift around!
The Boeing 747-200 shown in this video (TF-ARJ) is currently stored in the Mojave desert. It was built in 1986.
I am a hugh fan of the Boeing 747 Classic but sadly it is slowly becoming extinct. There are just a few companies from Armenia, Berlarus. Geogria and Iran which still operate a few Boeing 747-200 airframes as cargo planes. It` s very sad to see them go but most airlines have to renew their fleet to make sure to operate in a profitable economic way.
I filmed this video in 2012 and as you can see I wasn` t able to handle my camera very well. It was one of my first attempts to make videos of planes and I am sorry for the shaky footage.
Thanks for watching.
In today` s "Flashback Friday" video I would like to show you my most favorite aircraft, the Boeing 747-200 Classic. The fuel tanks very slightly overfilled and the 747 lost some fuel while departing from runway 23L. I am sorry for my shaky camera work, it was one of my first attempts to film airplanes in 2012. The fuel loss is visible from 00:15 to 00:22 and between 00:46 and 00:58
1:12 is it my new glasses or does that tail fin look like it's been hammered in by Gandalf?
It could also be a wingtip vortice caused by the humid conditions at the time.
SiliconBong That looks crazy!!😮
It is one of the most magnificent aircraft ever built!
If I may ask, why was the aircraft flying from Düssendorf to Jakarta? That is a very odd route.
It is still outrages that there are no Germany-Indonesia PAX routes. I hope GIA will return to Munich sooner or later.
I worked for Connie Kalitta for a long time. I flew every classic in the fleet. I retired in 2014. Thanks for the video.
I love the sound of the 747 engines spinning up before take off
Derek West *Who cares, no one gives a fuck u stooge*
Crazy Clown, or should I say crazy drunk? why are you here, just do let your frustration out on people? Go back to your booze you boozer!
Crazy Clown With people like you on the planet, who the hell needs enemies...go crawl back under your rock ya pile of crap!
It IS thrilling, isn't it!
Me too:)
Best airplane ever ,I got to see the first two being put together, my dad worked on them and got permission to take us into the Boeing factory as the planes were being assembled, number One never actually flew, it was tortured to death in their stress jigs and I saw the very first one fly its maiden flight from Edmonds Beach when I was a kid, in fact I think I still have Super 8 video of it. And venting fuel when full, so what. Can't believe it was a big deal. Looked like it could've been water vapor from the wet runway...;)
Thank you Cargospotter. I love hearing the roar of 747 engines! It saddens me too for these airworthy planes going to scrap. If it's able to fly itself to the Mojave; it still should be profitable awhile longer!
Thanks for posting, can watch these all day. Remember as a kid my dad taking us to Kennedy Airport to watch planes landing.
Much appreciation for this upload. I 💙 ANYTHING 747!!
I enjoyed watching the 747 planes.
We forgive you. So, captain, if I understand you correctly you had to fill in 3 kg of paperwork for every liter of Kerosine lost.
that's crap
Constanze Steegmiller grow up. He was joking. Idiot.
Thank you! Love the old 747's and you have some very good video of them. I'm glad they are using them for cargo, still a big strong aircraft.
Thanks Martin.... Very cool to see Connie Kalitta's 747. 1:21 6:25
I love the Boeing 747 classic, the Boeing 747-200, and the Boeing 747-100 so much. The B747-100 is my favorite.
I love the old engines on the kallita!! Nice video!!
Interesting catch. I filmed the same thing with a Norwegian 737 at Manchester Airport a few years ago. One thing the video cant catch is the smell if the fuel! Very nice selection of 747s in your video.
Nice to see a plane that's not covered in a company logo, awesome plane the 747 200
Agreed! I hate seeing these aircraft with all the web-sites or logo all over the body of the aircraft -- it's so ugly!
The 747-200F TF-ARJ now operates for Geo-Sky (Georgia) under the registration 4L-GEN.
It got scrapped 😓
@@1000BT No that isn’t true, 4L-GEN still operates for Geo-Sky along with another 747-200 registered as 4L-GEO.
This is why fuel planning considering temperature and thus volume is important...
Loved working these 747Fs back then
Awsome. From 2012 till now, you improved a lot. Your videos are amazing! Keep on filming these increadible airplanes! Your recordings are really perfect and the footage always wonderful 747s are my favorite too. Our greetings from São Paulo, Brazil!
40 years of my life it was more then great i mis her so much😭😭😭
Derek West. Its even more fun to distinguish the different engines by their sound - RR , PW and GE
Ahh the classics :)
That white 747 at 2:34 sounds like one of the old USAF C5's with the old TF39 engines... VERY cool sound thats hardly ever heard anymore....
Great video of a classic Martin!
Always be the queen of the sky
Don't know how old the video is but according to acft records (4X ICO) this acft was ferried JED-LCA-TLV 01. Jul 2010 for maintenance, and stored in 2014 at KMHV
... has always been part of Boeing and especially the dreamliner ...
i flew on one of these old Air Atlanta 747 from greece in 2001 on a charter flight . Have to say the old girl had seen better days and I was very uneasy getting on especially the patched up areas on her fuselage . She was clearly an old japanese or chinese airliner as all wording inside was in that type of language .
Now That's What I Called "Dumping Fuel"
A Great film to watch, I Loved it. THANKS
Excellent! See the birds in minute 7:01how the turbulence catch them
Birds following the plane like, "It is our God! The chosen one! We must follow it!" *enters jet wash* "AHHH THIS IS NOT OUR GOD> THIS IS JUST A GIANT, MEAN BIRD"
Boeing 747 is great, Boeing should make new 747's again.
US Airforce is still flying 3 747-200's, 2 are Air Force One, the third IIRC: is used by NASA and NOAA for atmospheric research, replacement aircraft for Air Force One under contract by Boeing, not due for delivery for over a year & half.
very nice video
Awesome! Boeing is AWESOME.
Wonderful vedeo ! Thank you for your sharing😙😙
The scream of those old engines...
very nice video.one airport is DUS but what is the second airport?
excess fuel in the fuel vent system - a routine måttet.
747 is my love 😍😍😍💞💞💞 the only aircraft i like
Awesome video :-)
You did a great job!!!
All you need to make this a better video is a fluid head tripod and a really thick Windsock for the microphone. Not bad otherwise.
Ex Malaysia Airlines B747-236F (TF-ARJ) the ARN was stored at Kuala Lumpur (KUL/WMKK).
I got pretty much scared the other day when I suddenly watched a 747-200 flying very low over my house with its gears down. What really caught my attention was that it looked like a "ghost" plane with no windows and no airline or cargo insignia or identification... It looked pretty much rusty and in poor conditions, like the one shown at the very beginning of this video, where the leeking is quite noticeable!!
Love your videos, especially the early 747's. One of our fondest memories was flying the Atlantic from New York in Spring of 1971. Lulfthansa. In a an early 747.
Muito massa essa aeronave top boeng 747 !!
love this video.......excellent....
How did the captain find your video?
The slightest spark or static electricity can cause a blast with so much fuel gushing out. Is this factored in ?
Wow ! That was lots of paper work to do for captain
Happens to me like twice a year, usually in winter. I fuel up at the local station and leave the dang fuel cap laying on the pump. There is a little "cap hanger" built in the fuel door of the Suburban. Guess they must not have the option on the 747.
Just wondering, but how did you know the comment was from the actual pilot and not a troll?
Captain B...can we interest you in one of the hybrid-electric B747s? (;
Maybe the poster is a "huge fan", if I am allowed to notice.
actually the crew hit the toilet dump button by mistake... they were supposed to do it over iran.
How come the first plane that took off had no marking on it at all? Who's plane was it?
Amazing giant
Super cool vidz
I last flew on a 747 in 2006 from DC to Johannesburg
In 2008 I flew on a Airbus A340...sucked !
I’ll never fly abord another queen of the skies...sad
Saw that on a Delta 744 once only way worse. Once it passed where we were sitting you could taste the fuel
I could see a lot of Water on the Runway from Rain. Was hard to tell the difference from lots of water spraying from the Aircraft. If there was Fuel Leaking (?)
LOL at 2:12, is that a group of Bad Robots in the grass?
I have experienced this myself.
Due to operate a 747sp SYD/LAX, SP went unserviceable, changed to a 747-200. Weight limited, pax restricted Max fuel, high ambient temperature, on taxi fuel streaming from wingtip vents, apparently it's quite normal, it's also the fuel dump point and does not represent a fire danger on that airplane
That first 747 is an odd one. A bunch of passenger windows, but not for the entire aircraft. Forward lower fuselage has a bunch. The rest of the passenger windows have solid plugs in them. Does not seem to be a combination model. My first guess is a rendition aircraft run by some obscure government agency of or for some secretive nations that are doing who knows what.
Lots of very ignorant comments below. It was fuel venting. Not that uncommon.
Nice
IF THAT SHIT WAS "COMMON" TO HAPPEN WHY I NEVER HEARD OR SAW ANOTHER VIDEO OR COMMENTS ABOUT, THAT IS NOT RIGHT OR NORMAL, FUEL IS FUEL AND DANGEROUS.
Topping off those tanks
Cargospotter if you hit 130K subs you should do a face reveal
What (if anything) is in the 'upper deck' of the cargo 747s where the little windows are? I've often wondered that about the cargo birds?
Usually courier seating, crew rest, or nothing. Depends on the airline.
Great
NOT ONLY THAT I LIKE 747, IF I CAN I LIKE TO BUY ONE.
I hate it when the gas attendant forgets to close my fuel cap
Holy Fuck
LOOOOOONG Takeoff roll
Where these equipped with the RB-211's?
At 1:45 you follow a totally unmarked 47 that has no windows or doors except the cockpit and a crew door. No reg #, no national flag, nuttin. CIA or KGB?
cool.
Dude AF1 SAM 28000 is a B747-200
There is no loss of fuel, dude, it's only water, nothing else...... Didn't you see there was a rain shower before ? :-))
Michael Achenbach ha ha yes people like telling stories.....its a little bit stupid to think it is fuel.....
If it was water from the rain it would be coming off both wing tips,watch the video and you will see it is only coming off one wing,muppet
Michael Achenbach dude, learn the 747 fuel system before you comment ok, it is fuel from the vent which is also used to jettison fuel. When full it is not uncommon on acceleration and even wing bounce on taxi to leak from the vent. This is consistent from the classic to the 400.
the jettison system is completely separate to the vent tank system . yes it was common on 747 classic series when fuelled with full wing tanks due to thermal expansion , see my old comment below .
Sorry-it was fuel venting.
Q tanto llevan d carga como q cosas. Bonito y espectacular. Bye
Wing flex can't shift fuel around....
All at Mojave chopped up by now.
routine matter, of course
WHERE is the white plane's Number?
So many 300 series
I ❤️big 🛩‼️👏👍🏼❗️
Several of the 747 in this video were "totally in the nude". Didn't you forget the adult content warning ?
Unsinn - die gesättigte Luft hat sich lediglich in einer Wirbelschleppe gesammelt und ist auskondensiert.
Du hast aber schon die Beschreibung gelesen, oder?
If there is one thing I love more than the curves of a woman, its the curves of a 747.
Why windows are on this aircraft if it is cargo ?
Infinite Flight Aviation Greg ... some are converted to a cargo setting after withdrawal from passenger carrying duties. DHL have done so with a few 757's recently.
hi lus 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
But it's too risky. Any small spark can light up the fuel bursting the whole plane.
RACER MUKHERJEE not really. I know people have seen it in die hard 2 but it doesn’t work that way. The fuel vent pipe is also the fuel dump pipe, far away from heat sources. Also the hot exhaust is surrounded by a pressurised column of ambient air generated by the fan on the engine so the atomised fuel cannot get near a heat source.
Some of these land's wouldn't be allowed in US Airspace. What, with NO Registration numbers on the Aircraft!
It is there. Remember it only has to be the minimum size required by the FAA and international agreements. I think that is one or two feet in height. About the height of the passenger window. Look just ahead of the stabilator. Small lettering.
not liquid fuel
Oh so greasy @ 7:20
???????
747-200s
No... its not fuel....actual it is vortex at wing tip....
Lol you can’t over fill a 747 , you fill it from underneath . Nice try lol
