    Everyone knows 777 engines are big, but when you actually get on the plane next to them, the scale is mind blowing.
  • Worked on the 777 program at Boeing, until I retired in 2017. It’s a great aircraft!

    Kick ass video! As a pilot I’ve never seen this perspective

    I used to do this at LHR in the 90's, but with the older style push back tugs. Great job. Even managed to push back and tow Concorde when BA were on strike (again).

    It's so surreal, that you are in your truck pushing this beast with everyone sitting up there on their phones or recording out the window. 😃

    I enjoy seeing this from the ground crew's perspective

    For a second there, I thought you were going to push the plane to its destination! 🤣 Awesome video, it’s a shame there isnt anything for scale next to those massive GE90-115’s, a single engine generates more than TWICE the entire output of the Titanic. Nearly 11’ fan diameter. 😳

    Watching the turbines spool up will always bring out the big kid in me

    4:10 That deep sound vibrates the entire 777 cabin and can be heard in the terminal
  • Although camera shutter speed can be confusing how fast the fan engine is running, the central spiral is the one that can catch the speed.

    What a beautiful plane, very long pushback .. Great job 👏 and thank you for sharing …
  • Doesn't get any closer than that.What a beautiful bird....I love my job!

    I don’t think we realize enough just how iconic the 777 has seriously been over the last couple decades! You cannot without a doubt realize how important this aircraft is in modern aviation history
  • What a pleasant sight! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing view with us! Lúcio, from Brazil...

    Such a beautiful plane. KLM chose the right colours for their livery.

    Beautiful plane. My favorite, actually. One of my favorite airports too. :O) Cool to see how the fan speed almost perfectly matched the shutter speed/frame rate of the camera.
  • This is so f**kin cool! Thank you so much for posting it. It’s so great to see what the tug driver sees!!
