I flew on that plane to Amsterdam in Spring of 2015 and it was one of my favorite airplane rides (not just because I am an avgeek. My seat was 77K. Before we left the gate in Atlanta, I was taking a look at the cockpit and the captain invited me to sit in his seat and take pictures! It was my first and only ride (so far) on an active 747. In 2017, I got to visit the plane at the museum and I was able to return to my seat. It is absolutely my favorite part of the museum and I love looking at it every time I am flying in and out of ATL. Truly an awesome plane! Thanks Jeb for the memories!

My dad recalled watching the first revenue 744 (NW) landing and taking off in PHX from MSP. He was a young teen and remembers a lot of people in the terminal three car park watching with him. So this would mean that 744 at the Delta museum is that same plane then? Cool to think about. By the way my dad watches your videos a lot. Keep up the good work

Man that 747 makes me think, what could old airplanes be used for, because they certainly look impressive. I already know there's an old 747 turned into a hostel in Stockholm hmmm. Maybe one could be used as a lounge at an airport. An Airport lounge onboard an Airplane. It would certainly be unique to say the least. Anyone else with suggestions?

You need to visit the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Associations Museum in Oshkosh Wisconsin. Packed with history. Be sure to check out their website for the schedule, because the hangers that are outside have a bit of a weird schedule. You can fly into Appleton Wisconsin and its only a 20 minute drive. Otherwise its about 90 minutes from Milwaukee.

If you go to the Walt Disney Family Museum in SF, you can see his United luggage tag, his 100, 000 mile one, and a United Pen (as well as his backyard train, a model of Disneyland, and all of his Oscars and Golden Globes. Super cool and highly recommended! The talking parrot at the end is awesome too!

I went there in 2017, but it was a short day trip. We flew DCA-ATL in the morning and back in the evening. Due to my friend wanting me to try the simulator, and us wanting to spot at ATL before our 5: 30 flight back, we didnt have much time to explore the museum. It was still a fun day.

I had the opportunity as a 13 year old to do a Walkaround of a 747-200 sitting out on the tarmac (No jet bridges then) in Riyadh Saudi Arabia at sunrise. This flight started in Seoul South Korea, then Manila, Bahrain, Riyadh and ending in Zurich. It seemed to be the longest flight ever.

I worked for both Panam and TWA in their corporate headquarters in manhattan (strategic route planning)during the 80s/early 90s and remember when delta purchased Panams European routes and then Panam went belly up. showed up for work in the Panam building and doors were padlocked

I remember that POS. We called her a hanger queen. That ship had more problems than the tritantic. If memory serves right the jack screw was cracked on the stabs. But Im old now and its been years since Ive thought about that nightmare

You should plan a trip to Dallas Love Field, review the airport (which is way different than what it was when I saw it last) or the flight. and then have a look at the Frontiers of Flight museum that's on the airport property.

I skipped the opportunity for a return flight on a Delta 747 from LAX to DTW. I regret not going on that flight. Good to see they have one on display, I'll have to go visit next time I'm in Atlanta.
reply

Doesn't this museum have a DC-9, N675MC, on display? I sure hope they didn't scrap it like the Carolinas Aviation Museum did with N779NC. I want to see a DC-9 on display so bad. Miss them terribly.

5: 17= Jeb: You know you fly Delta too much when your face is in the museum.
rotates camera to show a sleeping Jeb on a Delta A350
Me: Congrats. ur on TV! .not national TV, but on a TV! lol!

reply

All of these aircraft are still flyable. The B747-400 would have to have the parts put back into it. Delta has maintained current airworthiness certificates and registrations with the FAA.

I rode on one of the first Delta 707's and the last of the Delta DC6B's going from Cincinnati to
and from Chicago in 1964. I was in college at UC back then. Thanks for the Museum tour.

You're jumping around too fast in this video, before i can finish seeing everything in a frame, especially words, you flip to another shot. Please slow down, especially on future videos.

I get a fun of delta 747s on the interstate the scrapyard with about 4 of them is just off the interstate and you can tour it (in marana Arizona or just outside of Tucson Arizona
reply

Awesome! I will definitely have to check that out.
Have you ever been to the Pima Air and space museum in Tucson Arizona? It's massive. I want to go someday as well.

reply

I'm amazed Delta hasn't kept examples of the 2 major aircraft in their emergence as, perhaps, the world's most successful airline- the Douglas DC8 & Lockheed L1011.
reply

I think the DC-3 is in a lot of airline museums because the American Airlines C. R. Smith museum in Dallas has one too. I think you should check out that museum too.
reply

My first 747 flight was Frankfurt W. Germany to Sea-Tac in 1973. Do you have any pics of the frist clas and the upstairs bar. Flew both ways over the wing.
reply

Wow Im really happy to see that 747 at the Museum. My Grandfather was the Northwest Captain who picked the plane up from the Boeing Factory.
reply

Will be in Atlanta in November and I will definitely drop in. Excellent report thanks. Didn't even know that there was such a museum.
reply

i loved this museum myself I loved the respect the show the planes they chose to fly and a connection and they strive to place with it
reply

Jeb I have only recently discovered you! I stay at the Renaissance about 3 times per year, as it is only 3 miles from my house.
reply

Surely Theres A Deltian(A Nickname Of Delta That Is Only Used By One Person)Boeing 757-232
N661US Is A 747-451(ignore this one)

reply

You make it fun, for someone like me who's chicken to fly! Sometimes I'm holding my breath watching you take off! Not bad at all!
reply

I live just north of Atlanta and had no idea this museum existed. Looking forward to visiting! Thanks for the great video!
reply

Im going to Atlanta for 1 day staying at the renaissance with the aviator package I will go here.
Another great video!
