New Boeing 747-8 British Airways World Cargo 7478F G-GSSF First revenue Departure London Stansted

G-GSSF was the third Boeing 747-8F on order by Atlas Air, delivered to Global Supply Systems and operated on behalf of British Airways World Cargo. The aircraft left Seattle en-route to Hong Kong, prior to a flight to Delhi. The first scheduled arrival into Stansted was at 6:10am on Friday 30th December 2011. Despite a VERY early start for me, I arrived at the airport in the dark only to receive a message saying the flight was delayed by 3 hours! With other engagements I wasn't able to capture the arrival (see my other video for G-GSSD landing), however I did return in the afternoon and literally as we pulled up, GSSF had been pushed back so it was a very mad panic to get all the equipment setup in time for the takeoff. I was surprised that the aircraft was so much quieter, sure when it goes past it's loud, but there didn't seem so much of the ongoing roar after departure. Additionally, I thought on throttle up that the engines sounded a little like a 777. Anyway I hope you enjoy the video and please remember to view my other Youtube First of the arrival of G-GSSD here    • Boeing 747-8 British Airways World Cargo G...   ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ Please watch: "Wizzair London Luton Plane Spotting Airbus A320 Sharklets Wizz Air Wizz.com Hungary Airplanes"    • Wizzair London Luton Plane Spotting Airbus...   ~-~~-~~~-~~-~
