747-SP Startup - Checks - Departure from Orly

A remarkable amateur film of time in the cockpit of a 747 'classic' aircraft during "Start up, checks and take-off" from Orly, Paris. Note the third position of Flight Engineer - something we will never see in these days of 'two man' cockpit control on modern aircraft. This is a 747-SP (short body-special performance) - only a handful are still flying and airworthy in 2015. Qantas Australia was fortunate to have two in it's 747 fleet until retired to the Arizona desert in the early 1990's. I found this clip on the internet years ago and saved it. Now that these planes are history, it is only fair that I upload it for others to enjoy. I beg the indulgence of the original up loader (who ever you were), but thank you for this insight into something we probably will never see again.
