    6:49 Breathtaking moment, Pan Am 747 and British Airways Concorde together!

    The fact that Concorde just strolled through like it was nobody's business...

    I remember back in 1973 as a 11 yo we flew to the US on a 707. Then on our return back home we were on a 747 ,and i was in awe of the size inside and out .We were seated right in front of the famous spiral staircase leading up to first class. Then the word got around that Johnny Carson was upstairs in first class and i begged the air hostess if she can get me his autograph,and she was so nice and came back with a yellow slip with his signature on it. That was something that stays with me.

    I’ve been the captain of Boeing 747 flights between Miami and JFK before. But my flights are usually a whole lot longer than that!

    Wow, thanks for uploading. PanAm MIA-JFK was my first flight ever on a 747, back in 1988. I remember a pretty bumpy takeoff, several overhead bins opened up and my mom got hit on the head with an item falling out...

    The 70’s weren’t that great but for the aviation industry it was the golden years
  • @speedbird7471
    What a great insight. Looks like the captain was in a rush. He started setting the takeoff power before they finished the checklist then backed it off.

    Dad flew the 747 for PanAm and what a shame that Airline is not around anymore!

    Beautiful PAA & the beautiful Queen of the Skies (: Not much flight deck automation in the eighties and second officer (flight engineer) still existed! Thanks for the doco xo.

    Two great airplanes. Concorde was only supersonic airliner with afterburner.

    Ah, my childhood, nice big 747 on a short haul flight, 1/2 full if lucky. Those were the days, what do we have now? Single aisle coast to coast and to Europe, ghad zooks.
