We at TPG get a little nostalgic when airlines retire 747s — it's one of our favorite aircraft of all time. So, in this installment of interesting aviation videos, we're paying tribute to Cathay's 747s with a fantastic, high-definition video of the aircraft landing and taking off again at New Chitose Airport (CTS) serving the Sapporo Metropolitan Area in Japan. This high-def video allows us to admire Cathay Pacific's beautiful livery as the aircraft completes a perfectly smooth landing. Then, the emotional part. As the 747 soars into the Japanese sky we're reminded that after next week, the carrier will no longer fly one of its most storied aircraft of all time.
Did you ever have the chance to fly on Cathay Pacific's 747?
