100 Years Lufthansa - from the cockpit! This is me landing the most beautiful Boeing 747 in the world ✈️

What an honour and pleasure to be able to pilot D-ABYN in Lufthansa special anniversary colours on its longest flight to Tokyo Haneda Intl. Airport in Japan 🇯🇵

After more than 12 hours in the air, this is the moment everyone has been waiting for and that the passengers and cabin crew will judge me on. But luckily it was a perfect, smooth landing right at the touchdown point, even though we had a slightly variable tailwind.

If you want to see more videos from the flight deck you can follow my account and I also have a great AIRLINER AVIATION CALENDAR 2027 on offer - link in my bio 👨🏻‍✈️👍🏻

You usually see the landing OR the pilots. Here, you get both. ✈️

I filmed this Frankfurt arrival in Boeing 747-400 D-ABTK with my DJI Osmo 360 2, so you can watch the runway getting closer while seeing what happens in the cockpit.

For me, the crew view tells just as much of the story as the view outside.

Does the split view work for you? Which part would you like to see closer?

Follow for more perspectives from the 747 flight deck.

POV of a 747 pilot! Look at how calm and professional everyone is!

Landings are always the most challenging part of any flight, but if you are setup correctly and know what you are doing, it becomes a routine event. You wouldn’t think it by the looks of these pilots, but they are actually enjoying themselves landing the Queen of the Skies at its homebase 😁

I am so excited!! ✈️🇯🇵 D-ABYN and I are flying to Tokyo Haneda today and it will be so much fun flying the world’s best looking 747 to Japan. I am so glad to have combined this aircraft with the Tokyo skyline for one of my stickers that comes free with every AIRLINER calendar 2027 purchase 😁

The last time the both of us were in HND was in April during grey weather. But the enthusiastic ground crew and planespotters at the airport made up for it! Will there be anyone catching our landing tomorrow morning?

I am also planning to visit the Iruma Airshow in Tokyo on 03 November, so maybe I will be able to meet other photographers there as well?

If you are in Japan and want a calendar then this is your chance to get one with reduced shipping rates - just write me a message!
If you are in Europe, you can simply order it via my website (link in bio) 👨🏻‍✈️👍🏻

Could you do this? Looks pretty easy…

According to a number of studies, many men believe they could land a jet aircraft in an emergency situation, e.g. with both pilots incapacitated. I thought so as well! But when I was in the simulator or a real aircraft for the first time, trying to do just a few basic things, I quickly realised that it’s basically impossible!

What looks like a walk in the park with pilots just quickly sitting there doing nothing is the result of years of training of highly qualified experts!

Still think you can do it? Check out my other videos for more insights into the cockpit of a Boeing 747!

You have NEVER seen this view before!

Cockpit view during landing of one of the last Boeing 747-400s in passenger configuration at Frankfurt Intl. Airport! This is German precision work in one of the greatest aircraft ever built!

Tribute to the LH A340-600! Turns out I don’t have that many photos of it 😳😳😳

It’s an opportunity wasted (many opportunities wasted in that case), but I am grateful for what I have. The „Galeere“ (galley in German in reference to the long ships) has been a steady workhorse in the Lufthansa long-haul fleet and has been service much longer than anticipated! Many times there were talks about this aircraft being retired, but now it is finally happening.

The A340-600 is a special aircraft and was at one stage the world‘s longest commercial jet (the title is currently held by the B747-8 and will transfer to the new 777 once it arrives). It has been used all across the Lufthansa network and will surely missed by enthusiasts and aviation fans around the world!

Farewell!

Unique footage from the cockpit of one of the last passengers 747-400s in the sky!

I am flying her to Frankfurt‘s southern runway 07R in this video on an usually beautiful and calm day - the only thing that disturbed my landing was the wake turbulence of an A340-600 that hit us in 10 feet above the ground, but it still worked out nicely in the end with a smooth touchdown 😅 puuuhhh…

What is your favourite “Queen of the Skies” moment? Take-off or landing?
