Lufthansa Boeing 747-400 - EXTREME low pass over Coast Mountain Range on approach to Vancouver

That jet burns approximately 1 gallon of fuel per second - but holds more than enough to easily keep it aloft for 10 hours. 800,000 pounds, lifts off the ground effortlessly, blows through the atmosphere at nearly 600mph and on this flight, lands as gently as a falling feather. 747s may be outdated and inefficient compared to 777/787 versions but they still never fail to impress.

"EXTREME" low pass? Seems to be a pretty standard approach to me...

When you look at this planet from above you realize how beautiful it is

Wow, some of the prettiest scenery from an aircraft, that I have seen. Excellent work.

From the stunning scenery to the awesome aircraft shadow on approach and final......this was simply spectacular. :)

The queen of the skies admiring herself, watching her shadow in the clouds! beautiful video. Thank you.

Born and raised in Vancouver. Lived here all my life. What a great video from beginning to end.

That plane kissed the earth. What a nice touchdown. And Canada really has some amazing landscapes.

The shadow of the plane is so cool.

If I had to pick between a business class ticket with no window and a coach seat with a view like this, I would pick the latter in a heartbeat.

One of the best flight videos on YouTube. An amazing, beautiful, view of mountainous British Columbia.

I hope people who live in British Columbia know how lucky they are because it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. I've been there many times and I'm in love.

I love watching videos of these beautiful jets taking off, landing and flying. I rarely see comments on the pilots and their talents and ability's. My twenty year old nephew earned his pilots license about eight months ago. Three months ago he earned his certification to fly single prop aircraft with retractable landing gear. His goal is to become a commercial airline pilot. I went up with him once so far and it was awesome. I have a lot of respect for pilots. I never knew how much work,dedication, and love of flying it takes to become a pilot. Of course you also need the funds to achieve that goal. My brother makes a good living and my nephew worked his ass off to pay for it so the financial part was the least of his worries to achieve what he has and for what it will take to reach his goal. Whenever you fly just remember the dedication and the love of flying that the pilots have to make sure you and your family get to your destination safely. They deserve the upmost respect.

That landing was smooth as silk.

Who needs 'seat-back' entertainment when you have that to look at out the window; absolutely spectacular! Fantastic video, thank you for sharing.

In 1997, long time ago, I have visited Canada, British Columbia and Alberta provinces. Our journey started from Frankfort airport and lead us to Vancouver. Upon " Transat Airlines", a Canadian Airline. Via Scotland, Faroer, Iceland, Greenland....--> Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Saskatchewan---> Alberta to our destination Vancouver. Magnificent. We have crossed Greenland while midnight sun was still shining at 1 a.m. (!). Eleven hours of flight, a break of 45 minutes in Calcary.... 9 hours time zone difference to Germany... 3 days jetleg, but the what a phantastic scenery it was there. UNFORGETTABLE !!! Thank you so much for the upload. With very best regards from old Germany, Rainer

Wonderful but bittersweet for me. I am Canadian born but living in Geneva, Switzerland since 1996. I would often travel home and 2015 was the last time I came for a "normal" Xmas with my parents before my father developed severe dementia and passed away durng the holidays 2017-2018 (was there also fortunately). 2015 I came for a visit and also flew the same Lufthansa flight through Frankfurt and possibly the same 747-400! Same view at any rate.

Beautiful Vancouver and lovely smooth landing.

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for taking us along on this STUNNING flight!

Amazing views along the way, great to see the engines as well.
