No se te mueren los ojos si ves eso en la vida real y con la luz solar?

Muy buen avión para volar, pero había que volarlo...con viento cruzado se alineaba con el viento inmediatamente al sacar los "zapatos" del suelo y no unos graditos...el mastodonte guiñaba. Con falla de motor y viento cruzado en tierra había que ser preciso, y una vez en el aire el control había que dejarlo bien trimeado para conectar el AP, sino había grandes probabilidades de hacer crash cerca del suelo.
O sea, volabas una bestia de 870,000 lbs de peso máximo de despegue y 635,000 lbs de máximo de aterriza el de pax y 666,000 lbs el máximo landing del carguero.
El flare por otro lado muy corto, venías como todo Boeing con un pitch de entre 0 y 2° dependiendo el flap, cortabas motor a alrededor de 50 ft y le tenías que subir el Pitch muy poco...sino flotaba como globo.

Mecánicos despidiendo el vuelo en Narita...ver la vestimenta, los guantes blancos...TORA TORA TORA.


Así se ven las porongxas adelante del B747, el cockpit civil más alto, el del A380 esta por debajo...



Crucereando sobre Japón, monte Fuji...y Mazinger donde esta!!!!


Quieren hablar de frio...cold weather ops...Anchorage Alaska...todos los cargueros en rutas Asia-USA pasan por Anchorage por fuel.
 
Mes por medio ceno con un ex Cdte de 747 de Aerolíneas ya jubilado, y siempre remarca dos frases:

-Boeing diseña y construye aeronaves de transporte, Airbus copia.

-El 747 seguirá siendo "la reina" porque dificilmente exista otra aeronave tan perfecta, fiel y confiable.

Eso lo resume todo.

God save the Queen
