747-200 landing at Longreach
I've been looking everywhere for the video of when she landed (to try to win a bet about how many engines were running when she landed). I swear that I saw this somewhere a couple of years ago but can't find it now? Can anyone help?
Thanks, Ben |

That's the only Youtube video I can find. However to answer the question at hand, the 2 outboard engines were shut down for the landing to reduce the chance of FOD ingestion. Mick |
I thought that the 2 outboard engines were on idle and didn't use reverse thrust only the 2 inboard ones had the T/R's deployed.

Even thou its just a hunk of metal its hard not to get a little teary eyed watching that.VH-EBQ is dead. long live the 747-800.Still the elegant lady of the skies.Something airbus could never match,building an aircraft that looks good.

B737 Vs. A320 = A320 much nice looking, to me nose and tail seem nicer, 737 to me look a bit outdated, mind you I like the 737's Winglets.... |

She'll never leave Longreach. Never.
Only way it can possibly leave Longreach is if they were to extend the runway to enable it. Mick |
I can see myself in that video.
All engine were on, that I can assure you. I can't find my photo album, but from what I remember all engines were under reverse thrust. |
There was talk of extending and widening the runway for 707 ops and possibly 747 ops from LRE. (that was the council)

Thanks for the link. I was always under the impression that she landed with 1&4 on idle as well, but my friend insists they were all turning at the same speed? The video doesn't really prove either of us wrong so I guess we'll continue to argue about it for now! lol
Cheers, Ben |
