The Boeing 747 has been disappearing from the skies in recent years, and British Airways and Virgin Atlantic both accelerated the retirement of their 747-400 fleets because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This video showcases a number of different Virgin Atlantic 747s at Manchester Airport in recent years, with takeoffs and landings on both runways (23L / 05R and 23R/05L).
Using my Panasonic 4K video camera and tripod, I filmed all of the clips in this video at Manchester Airport. I used iMovie to edit all of the raw video clips I filmed to create this video here, which only uses content I myself filmed and fully own.
The 747s showcasing in this video include:
G-VROM (first flight in 2001)
G-VBIG (first flight in 1996)
G-VXLG (first flight in 1998)
G-VROS (first flight in 2001)
G-VGAL (first flight in 2001)
