The 747. For many, she represents aviation in a nutshell. Between her pure beauty and mere perfection, the 747 sits at the forefront of many aviation enthusiasts hearts. It is as though this bird isn't just a precisely put together piece of metal, wire and comfort, however the connection most of us enthusiasts have with the Queen of the Skies is somewhat human like... it is a connection that is simply indescribable!

Whilst the bond us enthusiasts have with the 747 is something in itself, we can not turn a blind eye to the unbreakable link between the crew and the Queen of the Skies. It would be fantastic to just sit and listen to a pilot/crew member that works on the 747, tell countless stories and also tell of what the 747 means to them!!

As the 747400 series is slowly being phased out by the leading operators, including Qantas, special moments like this are becoming more and more scarce and so to catch them on film will certainly be one for the ages.

It was only yesterday when here in Australia and at Qantas, we all had to say goodbye to another Qantas 747, VHOJI as she departed Sydney for the final time bound for Mojave the 'desert'. Indeed it was a sad occasion but for those of you who have seen photos of her final takeoff, you will be pleased to see the conditions and style she left us in!

This video, showcases the indescribable beauty of the 747, the gorgeous sounds of the CF6 engines and most of all, it showcases an icon, a friend, a loved one; the 747!

Enjoy this gorgeous dusk spool up and takeoff by this very much treasured, Qantas 747 at Melbourne Airport.
