Now what we need more of in Europe is the tristar how ever it pains me to say there aint many left any more. 🙁

Those were the days oh to be around when BOAC flew VC-10s Boeing 707s and classic 747s

Aint it amazing what a 747 can do.

Long live the 747 queen of the skys!!

This little SP had been sitting in storage for 3 years at JO’BURG international airport and was due for scrapping but SA made the very wise choice to donate it to a museam at RAND. So the engines were started up and remarkably required little or no work done to them. The plane was stripped of all uneeded parts for the landing. A Rand is no where near 747 capable. The aircraft then took of for RAND with its gear down all the way made 2 pratice approaches then landing on the third. Awesome job by the pilot.

That is at an airfeild called RAND in JOBURG south africa there is a SA 747-200 already there that did a similar landing a few years ago.
