This Boeing 747 of SF Airlines departed at Liege Airport with destination Ezhou in China. The aircraft was heavy loaded and that` s why the takeoff run was quite long. I was a bit surprised because normally the SF B747-400 Freighters rotate quite early. I was quite satisfied with the result because the Jumbo Jet rotated right in front of my lense. Shun Feng is an airline from China which mainly operates fot Alibaba which is the chinese version of amazon.
SF currrently operates around 10 flights / week to Liege, including 4 weekly flights with the B747-400 Freighter and about 6 weekly flights with a Boeing 767-300 Freighter. The B767 has to do a fuel stop in Karaganda. On it` s way home to china the B767-300 flies nonstop for 13 hours which is quite remarkable. I assume it` s empty on its way back home and that`s why the fuel consumption is much lower.
I also filmed some other planes that day at Liege, including a few B747` s of ASL Airlines and Challenge Cargo. Both airlines are based at the belgian airport and they each operate a fleet which consists of 5 B747`s.
Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday.
