Cool video, but does anyone know why they would land a 747 on a runway that it cant take off on? Why just leave it there out of use?

I may be wrong.

That's not a runway, that's a road. Pretty good flying. Don't see why you would retire a 747. Seems like throwing away money.

They retired the 747-SP's becuase the 747-800's and the new 787 Dreamliners are comming out now, the SP is just too old of a model.

Ah, the sweet sound of four Rolls-Royce RB.211 engines spooling up on the go-around. Nice clip. The 747SP has different, and slightly less effective, flaps than on 74 classics or 400s. Quite a challenge getting into that small strip.
It does seem like throwing money away but maybe South African Airways gets some kind of tax advantage for donating it to a museum. The SPs aren't popular anymore (thus not having much resale value) because of high maintenance and fuel costs. The 777-200LR can fly farther, carry more payload, and costs much less to operate.

^buddy did you notice the fucking "South Africa" label on the side of the plane? Maybe you should lay off the good people who took the time to film this and translate it so you know whats going on.
