Lufthansa 747-8 Beautiful Taxi, Takeoff and Climb from Chicago O'Hare International Airport!

End your fear of flying: nonstopdan.com/fly-freely/ One of my favorite recordings ever! The lighting, the wing view, the views - everything is as good as it can be! Enjoy my friends :)
After a pushback in incredible lighting we enjoy an awesome taxi to runway 28 past the international terminal 5. After a short wait for takeoff, we finally line up and speed down the beautiful tarmac, lifting off with stunning elegance. This is followed by a colorful climb over Lake Michigan and onward toward Frankfurt. I LOVE IT!

I always think to my self. 2 minutes ago i was sitting there on the taxi way, and now I'm up here. That's the best take off video that I've ever seen. Excellent job!

    I think the reason that the aircraft has not been selling is because Boeing only offers GE engines. They would not allow Rolls Royce or Pratt & Whitney to offer their engines on this new 747. Everybody went for the Airbus A380 that offers the RR Trent 900 or the Engine Alliance (GE/PW) GP7200.

  • @Skullteen

    ***** I think it has more to do with the fact that airlines are shifting to widebody twin engine planes like the 777, 787 and A330 because they're more economical and can carry almost as many passengers. Airlines are shifting away from jumbos which is a shame. Even the A380, as famous as it is, isn;t selling as well as Airbus would like. The 747-8i will probably sell better in the future, but as industry trends are showing, it won't do as well as the far more popular 777X and 787

    Systematic the great thing that the 747 will always have over other aircraft is that it can be made a cargo plane, passenger carriers will forever go with economic designs, to me the only saving is on the number of engines as the -8 is super fuel efficient and lets face it you could barely hear those engines

And watching the wings at landing bouncing up and down was the most impressive on this flight, what an incredible machine this Jumbo 747 is, I love this plane!! Thanks to the American Nation, who first built the biggest plane in the world in the 1970´s! Greetings from Germany!

    For those of you who keep complaining about the wings, they are designated so as to encounter minimum aerodynamic drag especially during take-off and landing.. Otherwise, there would be turbulent flow over the wings that would cause vertices/Eddies' at the back:-) I'm currently doing my second year of engineering guys;-)

    what a beaut - long and low - just what's best when flying on a '47 of any type. For those that don't know their Queens, note the absence of the traditional triple slotted trailing edge flaps on the dash 8 series of Jumbo. The outer flap being a single device and the inboard flap being a double slotted section.What a nice way to see an 800 - not many airlines operate them in full passenger configuration, the majority having been built as cargo luggers.
