BOEING 747 DEPARTURE with ENGINE CLOSE UP - THREE B747` s departing at Liege Airport (4K)

Last saturday I filmed a few Boeing 747` s at Liege and I was trying to film a few engine close ups during departure. The first B747 in this video is operated by ASL Airlines, formerly known as TNT. They mainly shuttle between China and Belgium and right now there are some roumours about a possible base switch. The ASL/Fedex base could be moved to Paris CDG and the Liege hub could be a secondary hub in the future.
The second B747 is operated by Cargo Airlines. "Challenge Accepted" is their claim which is painted on both of their B747`s. This one had a beautiful taxi sound while the eninges were running on idel. I always enjoy listening to the sound of the Jumbo Jet, especially when its taxiing slowly to the runway.
The third and last B747 in this video is a former Cathay Pacific B747-400 Freighter. The aircraft now operates for Longtail Aviation from Bermuda. They operate 2 B747 Freighters and one of them is currently based at Liege, operating flights for ELY Cargo. The second B747, a former Ruby Star aircraft operates cargo charter flights between China and Maastricht.
All of the shown B747`s are Boeing 747-400`s. The Boeing 747-400 is a wide-body airliner produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, an advanced variant of the initial Boeing 747. The "Advanced Series 300" was announced at the September 1984 Farnborough Airshow, targeting a 10% cost reduction with more efficient engines and 1,000 nmi (1,850 km) more range. Northwest Airlines (NWA) became the first customer with an order for 10 aircraft on October 22, 1985. The first 747-400 was rolled out on January 26, 1988, and made its maiden flight on April 29, 1988. Type certification was received on January 9, 1989, and it entered service with NWA on February 9, 1989.

It retains the 747 airframe, including the 747-300 stretched upper deck, with 6 ft (1.8 m) winglets. The 747-400 offers a choice of improved turbofans: the Pratt & Whitney PW4000, General Electric CF6-80C2 or Rolls-Royce RB211-524G/H. Its two-crew glass cockpit dispenses with the need for a flight engineer. It typically accommodates 416 passengers in a three-class layout over a 7,285 nmi (13,490) km range with its 875,000 lb (397 t) MTOW.

The first -400M combi was rolled out in June 1989. The -400D Domestic for the Japanese market, without winglets, entered service on October 22, 1991. The -400F cargo variant, without the stretched upper deck, was first delivered in May 1993. With an increased MTOW of 910,000 lb (410 t), the extended range version entered service in October 2002 as the -400ERF freighter and the -400ER passenger version the following month. The Dreamlifter is an outsize cargo conversion designed to move Dreamliner components. Some have been adapted as transports of heads of state or for specific uses like the YAL-1 laser testbed or the Cosmic Girl air launcher.
