I had the privilege to work in both Kai Tak and CLK as a controller from 1997-2000. It was the same controller working both Air and Ground frequencies due to low workload during the early morning. The codes Red and Blue for pushbacks are for the tow truck operator indicating the direction of the airplane after pushback
Beautiful views! This aircraft is a series -200 - formerly Lufthansa or Air France. Aircraft registered in Italy. (I love those old analogue dials in the 747 Classics!)
The best ATC syntax and articulation I have ever heard, period. So often, too often it is just the opposite and I hold leads to complications, potential hazards.
I used to fly in to and from Kai Tak airport (as a passenger). That was a real blast. You could almost see into peoples windows as you were coming in to land.
+SuperFrasman it was great to be a passenger inside the plane and as a passerby on the land (except for the deafening noise of course). nothing ever comes close to the ones i saw around kai tak when i was a kid.
I got a scanner years ago and would just have it on in the house. I programmed in my local airport and ORD etc. Pretty soon it all sounds pretty normal. You could pick up cops and ambulances too but the planes, AIR FORCE I included, fascinated me and any flight shop has materials to teach you the abbreviations and they'll just give you flight charts that are discontinued. I learned to recognize pilots and controllers with a sense of humor and the the crabby ones too.
I used to work at Dulles Airport. At least once a week I would open the company book store in the D concourse around 0500. Despite the (extremely) limited amount of sleep I'd get the night before, it was my favorite place and time to open, not just because it's a bookstore, but also because I could see the day begin through the gate window opposite, and watch the terminal come to life.
Sono italiani! Sono quelli della Ocean Cargo che volava da Brescia Montichiari e che poi è fallita, peccato! Un video bellissimo. Thanks for posting this video, they are Italian pilots probably flying the route Brescia Montichiari to HK. One of the best aviation videos ever seen.
Ocean cargo was only in business for 4 years before going under. They operated four Boeing 747-200 aircraft mostly between Italy and Asia. Wow only 4 years in business, business must of really sucked. I guess the big cargo airlines like Cargolux and Lufthansa cargo got majority of the European cargo market.
This is a Ocean Ailine 747 cargo. Ocean Airline based in Brescia Montichiari airport - north Italy. Unfortunately Ocean Airline (founded in 2004) went to banckruptcy in 2007/2008. Only 3 planes in the fleet, Ocean Airlines was flying from Italy to Asia. IATA code:VC - ICAO code:VCX. My frend's brother was one of the (with mustache) pilot.
Just Excellent!! Although, flying a Cessna 172 will be disappointing now. LOL I have a friend who is a captain on a 777 and really envy his exciting career. You guys are so cool!!.
It looks they were at approx 100ft radio altitude over the threshold. All the landing performance computations are based on the aircraft overflying the threshold at 50 feet. Excessive height over the treshold means that the landing distance required will be increased. For an accurate calculation you should check the 747 AFM, anyway according to FAA the correction is 200ft( about 60 m) every 10 ft above the normal over- threshold height( which is 50 feet).
Yes, there are strict and high physical requirements. Check Bing and Google for FAA requirements. To become an airline pilot the course is extremely difficult for most and you must be always be willing and able to study very, very, very hard and long 24/7 and have an extreme passion and true love for aviation/flying airplanes to have any chance at all of succeeding. One must be truly 100% dedicated 24/7 to doing everything required, if not then do some other job but still become a pvt. pilot.
My grandpa flew this route for pan am back in the day from kmsp too bad I am to old to start being a pilot in my mid 40s it would take to long to climb the senority list I wish I would have done this when I was younger
i always play airplane games on my cell. so i came across your videos and am shocked at the complexity of landing and lifting off in a aircraft. you guys are something else very awesome i like how professional you are to and that landing was spot on i have a accurate flight sim on my phone for the space shuttle with the same kind of landing and man is it difficult to land that perfect i blow tires allot you guys are true pioneers that is just awesome
To Rhiannon Love: I think you've found your twin soul. I'm fascinated by big planes, canno't get tired of watching take offs/landings. I am also extremely afraid from flying. All bad fantasies that you can imagine go round on my head, and an awfull feeling of claustrophoby. My long distant flights have been a torture, minutes been turned to years, tranquilizers not making effect (even in quantities). Even though I enjoy seeing and learning about planes. Up and down, up and down, like angels. It's a mystical feeling. I would like to be a pilot someday...(??) Once I also dreamt being a stewardness. But pilot is better, you have the control. I think that having control of the plane it would heal me from the fear. As a passenger no one has the control (thats the problem...trust, let ourselves go..) All the time I am trying to learn technically how to use the instrumentation, it's another way of control: knoweledge is power. Sincerelly, I have to confess sometimes my obsession about big planes and flights goes beyond the limits. I like to see (compulsively) Air Crash Investigation. It's not (God save) about enjoying another's suffering and death, but I enjoy when they land successfully and people get out alive. It gives me hope. Besides, it's for me like a therapy, seeing that terrible crash (may be it evoques crashes from my previous lives) and seeing myself sitting comfortably in my house with my cat's love, eating a nice cake, and having the possibility of opening the door and getting out breathing the fresh open air of the evening, I say, thanks God I am here. Air Crash Investigations gives also the posibility to learn much from pilots errors and human error in general. Also about human mysery in terms of saving or accumulating money, no matter if people are in danger. Hope one day we meet in some distant airport, me as captain of El Al 777, and you, as captain of American Airlines 747. Good night. God Bless You.
excellent, just don't play music, a lot of us are student pilots and when I fly the 172 Cessna, I don't have any music on so I can hear traffic. Thanks. HD is the best of course you know that. My favorite is seeing the guages and the changes made. I never get bored of that.
Cheers! My dad was a CX 747 captain, sat in the jumpseat as a kid a few times into Kai Tak and CLK in 747s and A330s/40s. Great video.

去过一次，都係好亲切感！
Italian crew. Ocean Cargo airline, it was based in Brescia, northern Italy.
Nothing beats this experience....
The best ATC syntax and articulation I have ever heard, period. So often, too often it is just the opposite and I hold leads to complications, potential hazards.
I can't imagine being at the controls of an airplane as large as the 747. It just blows my mind.
Landing at the old Kai Tak was much more of an adventure. Flying in between mountains and apartment buildings!
Arthur Shatz so u used to land there?
I used to fly in to and from Kai Tak airport (as a passenger). That was a real blast. You could almost see into peoples windows as you were coming in to land.
I love flying
+SuperFrasman it was great to be a passenger inside the plane and as a passerby on the land (except for the deafening noise of course). nothing ever comes close to the ones i saw around kai tak when i was a kid.
Great video 😀 Love how ATC controllers communicate with pilots with "good energy" in voice not everyone but many of them 😊

What type of scanner do u have?
Regular John radio shack
The light on the left illuminates when the doors are open, the bottom when the gear is in transit, and the right when down and locked

All in a days work. Thanks for all the nice videos.
Excellent filming like always... thanks for the hours of entertainment! Been watching for many years.
Jay's O'HareAviation Plane Spotting HD Thank you very much! :)
O'Hare Aviation - Jay's HD Plane Spotting a
Just wonderful views and management.
Good job pilots. Very beautiful landing, and what a nice view from the cockpit.
I detected that they were Italian from their English accents. I could tell how my people speak English from a thousand miles :D
Great video, thanks :)
Video spettacolare! Pagherei oro (che non ho) per star seduto in cabina... Ma no! Oggi non si puo piu! Grazie Osama!
Cargo 747-200, video was shot a few years back as there was a Northwest 747 cargo plane on ramp. Can't remember when they merged out of business.
This is a clear example of what makes aviation so great!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Seems an old 747, no glass displays, but a lovely smooth landing by pilots. Brilliant video collection.
A B747 Classic. Beautiful
nice, i like the 747-400 alot. fly it all the time
You would never get to see this stuff without the Internet. Amazing !
Good camera work and editing, thanks.
Ocean cargo was only in business for 4 years before going under. They operated four Boeing 747-200 aircraft mostly between Italy and Asia. Wow only 4 years in business, business must of really sucked. I guess the big cargo airlines like Cargolux and Lufthansa cargo got majority of the European cargo market.
watching dese videos kills me arrrrrrgh cnt wait to start my pilot training nxt yr by Gods graceeee
and this is why I subscribed to just planes :DD
great life experience, thanks.
Great video 747 is my fav plane

it really was a cockpit view landing. loved it!..lots of 747s there in hong kong
hong kong is full of 747s
The greatest channel on CZcams!!!
Thank you - Love these cockpit videos. A frequent flyer and aviation amateur....
The 747 looks and feels much more like actually "flying the plane" than the AirBus. I hope we never get to the place where no pilot is necessary.
Yeah nope not for a while. Not for a long while
I prefer analogue aircraft instruments to the digital stuff you find in modern-day craft. Thanks for the clip.
wow great to see some 747-200 cockpit footage
It doesn't matter how smooth looking a runway is it's bump ditty bump bump...
That a/p disconnect sound is simply awesome..pity is not used anymore! I remember it from airport films series in the 70s!!
Great Video! Thanks for posting.
wow i have been to hongkong in 2012 , it was very exiting , i went there in a 777 , even got to see the cokcpit ^^
thanks for upload, i am from hong kong and dream to be a pilot ... Hong Kong dawn really awesome! everywhere lightin up, like great white halls.
Wonderful job. THANK YOU!
Fantastic indeed! Very stable and some excellent cloud skimming footage. Also thanks for not adding any cheesy music.
Arriving in Hong Kong - a fantastic city.
Thanks to CZcams you can see such amazing things & thank you for the upload.
Just Excellent!! Although, flying a Cessna 172 will be disappointing now. LOL
I have a friend who is a captain on a 777 and really envy his exciting career. You guys are so cool!!.
What a beautiful aeroplane, the747!
extraordinary and superb video is this. tks a lot.
Flew into Hong Kong 3 times....wished I could have landed at the old Kai Tak in the day.....
Oh this is Chek Lap Kok. I was thinking it would be Kai Tak. Really want to see a good cockpit view of the HK Checkerboard approach. Pure genius !
Amazing time of day and angle! First time I saw HK that way. Thanks for the upload.
THANKS FOR THE REPLY BACK AND THE FANTASTIC VIDEOS YOUR PUTTING OUT .JJM IN MONTGOMERY ALABAMA SENT
You're very welcome. We always try to answer 👍. Glad u enjoy the videos!
There is something magical about landing in a new city at dawn.
No, it's called a person from JustPlanes sitting with seatbelt fastened in the in-cockpit jumpseat, with permission from the airline.
Yes, I'm Italian and I hear Italian going on in that cockpit!
Cool nice video and view....Hello Dolly....Say Hello to Hong Kong!
Very cool - enjoyed watching.
By far one of my favorite channel

He lowers that landing gear like a man!!! Thanks for the upload!!!

Glide slope is perfect. Wow.
Lovely to see an old school 'iron dials' approach. Well OK the IVSI TCAS excepted. Many's the time with Aer Lingus. Cheers, Ian.
what a great thing to be a pilot.!!
Beautiful! Great work Just Planes!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing this.
Very welcome, glad you enjoyed it! :)
I salute pilots. You guys have a tough job!

Very kind, thank you!!

Absolutely enjoyable!
great video! This channel continues to get better and better every day. keep it up!!!
A working horse 747-230 cargo! This one has been flying for more that 35 years now!
what airline and registration is it?
Absolutely beautiful!
Very nice video! my compliments! this flight was italian the pilot.
With the analog Instruments, not to much Glass Cockpit, i like it.
Very welcome, glad you liked it! :)
Great video! Thanks for sharing it!
Beautiful.
The approach controller is Swedish now working in the middle east.
Tower is Canadian, leaving in a few months
Nice one, great video & camera work, thanks for sharing.
Videos like this are really cool. Thanks for sharing them with us.
excellent, just don't play music, a lot of us are student pilots and when I fly the 172 Cessna, I don't have any music on so I can hear traffic. Thanks. HD is the best of course you know that. My favorite is seeing the guages and the changes made. I never get bored of that.
Love that old panel!
