EAA AirVenture 2025 - Pratt & Whitney Boeing 747SP Departure

Описание: One of the highlights of ‪@EAA‬ AirVenture 2025 was the appearance of a rare ‪@Boeing‬ 747SP operated by engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney. The 747SP sat in Boeing Plaza for the first three days of AirVenture 2025 and was an instant hit with everyone who attended, as no less than two 747SP aircraft remain airworthy today - both with P&W - out of 45 that were built. For those asking why this aircraft is much shorter in length than a regular 747, Boeing built this aircraft as a request from two airlines for a 747 that could fly routes from New York City to the Middle East. At the time, to do so, meant a 747 with a smaller passenger capacity and higher fuel capacity to achieve the intended routes.

Thursday morning featured the aircraft's departure from AirVenture 2025, seen here, which meant that Boeing Plaza would look radically different for Thursday-Sunday. Listen to the sound of those JT-9D engines, representing the first generation of high bypass turbofan engines!

The 2025 edition of the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual Convention, better known as EAA AirVenture 2025, took place between July 21 and July 27, 2025 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The video showcased here was shot on Thursday July 24, 2025. Note that from Thursday to Sunday video quality tends to drop off as it becomes harder and more painful to film an entire day's airshow.

MUSIC DISCLAIMER: Any music in the video was played through a public address system and ZINGER AVIATION MEDIA does not have any control over what music is being played during an air show or the volume of said music. Over the years, the music industry has increased its concern to ensure they are paid when ANY copyrighted music is played. Therefore, according to the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS), any U.S. air show, whether civilian or military, must secure the necessary music licenses for broadcast of pre-recorded copyrighted music over public address systems. For the 2025 airshow season, ICAS has negotiated a deal that will allow issuance of music licenses for ICAS member air shows for all three US music licensing organizations: ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. Each ICAS member air show is eligible for a single package of the three music licenses for one air show at the cost of $700 for a one (1) day air show; $1,000 for a two (2) day air show; $1,250 for a three (3) day air show; $1,500 for a four (4) day air show; $1,750 for a five (5) day air show, $2,000 for a six (6) day air show; and $2,250 for a seven (7) day air show. The rate applies only to music broadcast over the public address system during the public air show portion of the program (not practice/rehearsal/closed to the public days) and does not provide the air show with the right to use pre-recorded music at concerts or other non-air show special events held in conjunction with the air show.
