Absolutely fantastic.

I also like the intro to this piece, onboard and all. I got to see my first “action” shot of a 747 wing. They don’t half bounce! 😮

Skillfully intercut with a Virgin corporate video. :p

Yeah the CV had no chance. Apparently though the director wanted to use all four engines, copying a similar stunt in the USA when they blew a whole truck down a runway and off a cliff into the sea ! 😮

was a great show tonight as a whole! Of course the 747 was what i watch it for, but the review on the new Ford GT40 was great! 😀

Yeah was great, made me laugh how the covered up the Virgin on the tail and the Virgin Atlantic titles on some shots, yet on some you could see them clear as day!

I wondered how much it cost them to use the 747 for that feature? Bet it wasn’t cheap!

I noticed they only used 2 engines. That 2CV made me laugh! 😀

LOL – great experiment. I certainly won’t be driving my car into a 58,000 lb crosswind 😀
