Boeing 747-400 (N263SG)
Sunset departure for Giant 8387 headed for FLL with the Miami Dolphins on board. Normally the largest aircraft BED would get is a 757 or 767, so seeing a full sized 747 really brought out a crowd!
Comments
I suppose 7000ft is enough runway for a 747 on a flight of that duration. I am not sure how much cargo NFL teams bring with them, but I am sure they are well under MTOW regardless.
Seldom do such aircraft use full power on their take-off runs, so, to extend engine life and conserve fuel, usually if their load factors are less than maximum.
Such is obvious to me from my regular flights on SWA especially, etc., with the partially advanced throttles, because, all of the center seats being open per COVID19 guidelines.
I've been on fully loaded jumbos that spool-up to 100% power before brake release, so, to get off the ground in high density altitude/load factor conditions.
I been on a TIA DC-8-63 circa 08/08/1975 that spooled up to maximum before brake release, and, we barely survived the take-off out of CPH (Copenhagen, DN), barely avoiding striking the opposite-end approach landing lights.
I do also remember that flight the step-climbing all the way to cruise altitude for 62 minutes to 32,000'.
Great photograph of the most popular jumbo lineage forever, the 747.
