Time lapse painting a 747

N665US build year: 9/1989, absorbed into Delta Air in 2008, Stored since 12/2016 (not active) The lady was already 19 years old when she got the new painting.

Painting this 747 is like doing my homework Looks easy but very hard :D

Friend: What kind of videos do you watch? Me: yes

Am I the only one who thinks that this was the most beautiful plane ever made?

If only Delta made the right decision to keep these things. Along with the 757

Sucks that Northwest had just finished repainting their whole fleet when they got bought out. It was such a cool livery.

This was a great video to explain to my 5 year old brother the difference between airlines and airplanes. The jet changing from one airline to the other. Thanks a lot.

I watched this video 9 years ago, I had a dream where this music was playing, and immediately remembered it. I’m back to watch it again

R.I.P. Northwest

I have almost 10,000 hours in the B747, much of it as captain. Finest machine ever built by human hands. I miss it a lot!!

0:57 The the “generic” livery from Infinite Flight.

Dude.... I’m crying rn... I’m thinking it took so many workers to make this just to go to a junkyard... That’s one of the most beautiful pieces of histórical Aviation in the world... DELTA IF U ARE GOING TO TROW THE PLANES AWAY JUST GIVE THEM TO US

Every time I come back to this video, I start to tear up. Not only does this video give me nostalgia because of the fact that I've watched this since I was maybe 11 or so, but seeing it makes me realize that this meant the end of an era for Northwest Airlines and then that N665US was the last of the 747s to fly passengers under an American airlines and that the 747 is unfortunately being retired and going off to the scrapyards. It's just sad. I sure hope I get to fly on a 747 at some point.

When you skip through a time lapse cos it's too slow

Thanks sharing the incredible painting especially the 747, one airline to another. I cannot imagine how many gallons of different paint & time for these artistic painters not machine, but hand sprayed. Very impressive painting. Enjoyed it.

My salute to these guys. When we admire the beauty of an aircraft, we focus of size and shape, or engineering marvel and piloting skills, but rarely think of the hardwork involved in painting. Without their magical hands, the aircraft would be a corroding zombie!

I miss working working for Delta. I was so thrilled to put my uniform on and go play with airplanes for 8 hours. That 11 dollar an hour part time job changed my life. Got my house from smart stock buying. I met my best friend there. I met my wife abusing jet fuel. I flew 500 plus flights that’s round trips every weekend I was blasting off somewhere. Unfortunately working a professional full time job and Airport at night my health started to deteriorating from burning the candle at both ends. I wouldn’t change a thing I have no regrets. But there isn’t a day where I see a jet and think about my time there. I just loved my job and loved Jets. One day I’ll return to an airline. I have to secure this pension and provide for my family.

strepitoso..eccezionale..gran lavoro !! love from Italy 🇮🇹😘

I pay $80 a month for high speed internet, to watch 240p videos....
