That is a beautiful sight! It’s amazing when you’re able to visualize the wake turbulence, landing gear drag and massive vortices created by a 747 in the landing configuration! When tower tells you “caution wake turbulence heavy 747” you’d better pay attention!

I thought it was smoke from the fires of hell since the orange demon was on board 🤣🤣

The Art of Flight is a homage to 80s/90s arcade action shmups with a fresh twist on the genre. Pilot multiple ships at the same time to take on oncoming waves of enemies in this fast paced space shooter. Wishlist on Steam today!

Some years ago I lived in Chicagoland under the O’Hare approach from the west. I would ride my bike around the deserted (Sundays) industrial parks close to the runways and watch the beasts float in. Shortly after a plane would fly by, you could hear the ghostly whoosh of the wake turbulence in the quiet. Very cool!

Recuerdo una escala en Detroit, allá por el 2016, United aún operaba el 747. Cuando despegaban la terminal temblaba.

The Queen has arrived! How I miss the 747, she was a joy to travel on.

Cool video. I’m surprised by how much of a downward component the wake seemed to have. I expected more general “messiness” extending backward and less of a downdraft appearance.

There was a lovely Cargolux 747 parked for a few days at AMS. Unfortunately too far away for a decent photo..

Why the 737 landing gear lever has an “OFF” position ✈️ It’s a question I get asked quite often and understandably so! “OFF” isn’t a logical position for the landing gear! The landing gear is retracted into the belly of the aircraft using hydraulic pressure. Once the gear is fully up, mechanical uplocks hold the gear safely in position. However, with the lever in the UP position, hydraulic pressure is still being applied to the system. This is unnecessary now that the gear is being held up with mechanical latches and places extra demand in the hydraulic pumps. So, once the gear has been retracted, the pilots will move the gear lever from UP to OFF as part of the after takeoff checklist. This simply removes hydraulic pressure from the retract lines. When the pilots configure the aircraft for landing, we move the landing gear lever from OFF to DOWN. This action releases the mechanical up locks and the gear is lowered using a combination of hydraulic pressure, gravity and air loads. Once the gear is fully down and locked, a green light - one for each set of wheels, will illuminate. Should the primary gear down sensors fail, we have a second set of green, gear down indicators on the overhead panel. As long as the gear is indicating down and locked on either the primary or standby indicator, the gear is down and locked and safe to land on 👍 In the very unlikely event that the gear won’t lower normally using the landing gear lever, we have a standby gear lowering system which allows the crew to manually release the gear uplocks and allow gravity to lower the gear - see my reel showing that system in operation .
