[ENGINE ROAR] Lufthansa Boeing 747-430 Engine Start & Takeoff Frankfurt

Okay, a somewhat muffled engine roar... but hey, business class was like $4000, this was the furthest forward seat I could get without tanking my savings. Second row of premium economy... honestly wasn't that bad. It was just like domestic first class recliners here in the US. I was able to fall asleep pretty good thanks to relatively generous recline. Oh yeah and... a freaking 747-400 in 2026, what a dream. 0:00 Pushback 0:45 100 Year Livery 747-8 1:59 Engine 1 & 2 simultaneous start 3:54 Slats down 5:10 Taxi begins 6:45 Lufthansa Technik Hangar 6:56 Condor A321 (Green Stripes) 10:23 Rolling takeoff 07C 12:05 Thrust CLB 12:48 Left bank 16:14 Passing first cloud layer 23:09 Passing second cloud layer 23:30 Passing company quadjet in cruise Aircraft type: Boeing 747-430 Aircraft registration: D-ABVU (2018 Livery) Aircraft age: 27.8 Years (08DEC98) Line number: 1191 Engine type: 4x General Electric CF6-80C2B1F Airline: Lufthansa Airlines Airline Alliance: Star Alliance Flight number: LH/DLH440 Callsign: Lufthansa 440 Heavy Date: 15AUG26 Origin: Houston George Bush International (IAH/KIAH) Destination: Frankfurt Am Main International (FRA/EDDF) Departure time: 10:00 CEST (10:28 CEST Actual) Arrival time: 13:35 CDT (13:29 CDT Actual) Departure runway: 07C Arrival runway: 26L Departure gate: Z23 (Terminal 1) Arrival gate: D11 (Terminal E) Cruising altitude: FL340, FL360, FL380 Cruising speed: 470 KTS Flight time: 10H01M Seat config: C67 W32 Y272 Seat: 25A (Premium Economy) Boarding group: 3 Fare: Premium Economy Light Full trip: ALA-FRA-IAH-SAN Camera: Sony ZV-1 II
