Farewell to the Boeing 747 Tribute SpeedbirdHD 2023-01-31 | I wanted to make a short tribute video of my favorite airplane, the Boeing 747. Over 50 years in production and over 1,500 airframes built, Boeing will celebrate the last delivery with Atlas Air with the 1,574th build in Paine Field tomorrow. I am so happy to have flown and worked next to the Queen of the Skies.I know I haven't posted here in a long time. Video editing does a long time and I have been busy with work and family. I do apologize for the lack of posting on YouTube. However, if you like my content, please check out my Instagram page for daily content, @speedbirdhd . I want to thank everyone for their support in my page and for our same mutual love in aviation. I wish EVERYONE a healthy and prosperous 2023.

Western Global McDonnell Douglas MD-11(F) [N581JN] Landing in LAX SpeedbirdHD 2021-05-26 | In life, kids often follow their parent's career paths. In aviation, there are no exceptions to that. I thought I would only hear on the news how father/son, mother/daughter got to fly together in the same aircraft and perform a flight together! Well, working in aviation, I actually was fortunate and got to meet and know a father/son duo, both captains flying for Western Global Airlines MD-11F. This past Monday, I was able to capture this moment when they flew into LAX. Talk about life goals! I am glad to be able to capture this special moment for them. So check out this video, father and son, both captains for the MD-11Fs landing in Los Angeles. Go follow my friend on Instagram, @brioos .
National Air Cargo Boeing 747-412(BCF) [N702CA] at LAX SpeedbirdHD 2021-05-23 | For all you B747 lovers! National Air Cargo Boeing 747-412(BCF) [N702CA]. This airframe was the 1023rd Boeing 747 off the production line. Originally delivered to Singapore Airlines in 1994 as [9V-SMY] in passenger configuration. In 2008, it was configured to freighter and delivered to DragonAir/Cathay Pacific as [B-KAI]. In 08/2020, it joined @gonationalair as [N702CA]. Nice meeting you @pilot.aymane , hope you enjoyed your 3 hour layover in Los Angeles. See you next time! 🤙🤙🤙. To all my subscribers, what video would you like to see next?
UPS Boeing 747-8F [N615UP] High Speed Taxi and B1 Flight SpeedbirdHD 2021-05-03 | Ever wonder what Boeing 747-8F looks like without paint and wonder what Boeing does before their plane is delivered to its customers? Well, let's take a look at UPS Boeing 747-8F [N615UP]. On this day, they performed a B1 flight where they perform a high speed taxi test then come back and takeoff to do some testing. After about an hour, they land back at Paine Field. When they are ready for paint, they are ferried to Portland for 7-10 days to paint, then they are flown back to Paine field. After another series of tests, they would do a C1 flight, from there, after UPS checks everything and money is given to Boeing, UPS takes delivery of aircraft. If you haven't been to Paine Field, I highly suggest you check it out. There are only a handful of B747-8F to be built before the B747 production line closes. Sad. Wished B747 lives on forever!

2020 - Year in Review by SpeedbirdHD SpeedbirdHD 2021-01-07 | Happy New Year to all my YouTube subscribers and all my followers from around the world. We made it thru 2020! Hoping for a better 2021 for everyone especially in the aviation industry!2020 started out ok... then Kobe Bryant died and it went downhill from there! The pandemic hit in March and we saw a complete transformation in the aviation industry. It went from flying humans around the world to flying PPE. We saw the retirements of many Queen of the Skies as well as the A380s. Airlines started flying the more fuel efficient B787 Dreamliners and A350s. Airlines started carrying cargo in cabin. Cargo carriers increased their frequencies and we saw the revival of many jets from the aircraft graveyard. Tons of airplanes got parked and people in the aviation world lost their jobs.As we start vaccinating everyone, I am hopeful for a brighter 2021, I'm hopefully people get called back to work and we get back to traveling and flying. Check out a 25-minute re-cap of what I saw in 2020. I wish all of you health and happiness this year. May everyone be blessed with health, happiness, and prosperity.
