Скачать или смотреть Cargo 747 take-off from Leipzig/Halle airport (Germany)

Undoubtedly, the Boeing 747 is an important milestone in aviation history and I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't like the Jumbo Jet with its characteristic hump. So, no wonder my channel has lots of videos featuring the "Queen of the Skies", as it's sometimes called.
And while the Jumbo Jet-era seems to near its end in passenger aviation, the 747 is as popular as ever when it comes to transporting cargo, which is why those huge four engine jets are not a particularly rare sight at my local airport Leipzig/Halle (LEJ/EDDP), where DHL runs its European hub and the majority of operations are cargo flights. And so is Kalitta Air (K4/CKS), a US American cargo airline with a fleet that consists mainly of 747s.

The plane featured in the video is N710CK, a Boeing 747-400F SCD. SCD stands for "side cargo door" and means our plane started out life as an airliner and was later converted to a freighter and equipped with a large cargo door. It first flew in 1997, entering service with Korean Air (KE/KAL) registered as HL7462 and after being converted it became part of Kalitta's fleet in 2018.
The plane can be seen here, taxiing from its parking position towards LEJ's runway 08L and departing from there on flight K4235 to Bahrain (BAH/OBBI).
