Very impressive stability in rainy stormy weather. I’m surprised many airlines didn’t order it, like BA, QANTAS & Cathay Pacific as it had better space and flexibility for premium cabins than 777. Lufthansa’s lucky buy, their whole 747-8I fleet is in service whilst the 747-400, A340s (-300 & -600) & A380s are only filling in time awaiting replacements due to unexpected post-covid travel boom and production supply train issue plaguing Airbus & Boeing.
The first and only time I flew in a 747 was in 1971. I was 8 and thought there was no way something that big would make it off the ground. I was shocked when it did. I still have the Richie Rich American Airlines comic book I was given, and the plastic captains wings.
@@wygqsrt LOL daft comment. Only a handful of A380's sold in comparison to the B747 which has been hugely successful commercially since it's inception in 1969 and in operation with basically every major airline since. No wonder there have been no accidents with the A380. Hardly any airlines have flown them and they've only been around for five minutes in comparison. A380 has basically been a commercial failure.
Amazing to see the engines ingesting so much water and keep on delivering so much power
Indeed…
Most of the water runs down the inside of the cowling and out the back. Very little actually goes through the engine.
Airbus is good on 350 or 340 but in the really big the B 747 is the beautie of all the 🎉❤beasts
True. It looks great.
Your video really gave me a sense of the speed at which the airplane was traveling through the sky. Thanks!
747 is the best-looking plane along with Spitfire and Catalina.
for some reason I liked the sound of these engines lol

Epic airplane !
What a beautiful wing!

Last time we flew from Miami to Frankfurt, Lufthansa on this Jambo jet. Amazing ride
Hopefully that harmonic settled down at a different throttle setting
Nice video!! It would have been nice to keep it going until you popped out on top of the clouds! 😊
GEnx roar wow.
No surprised I guess, wet/contaminated runway lead to higher take off power + long ETOPS flight.
I didn't think the gnx engines could roar and growl like that
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sure seems heavy....
The A380 is a beautiful calm dream.
I do love the both of them though.
If I were in Florida, I would seek the quickest way out of that state, with the quickest means of escaping it. Bravo!
based florida sucks
The 747 is so so much prettier than the horrible A380 Box
and your point is?
@@kol_72errr, that it looks better.....
@@kol_72 My point is, I assume you can`t read the 747 is much prettier than the horrible Box A380
which plane had no crashes tho? Oh ok.
