The old Lufthansa livery was amazing!

this was freaking amazing Dan!you got a chance to sit in a tug while pushing back one of my favorites,an A340!i am so envious of you right now my friend!great job brother!!!

Respect. I can barely parallel park my Honda...

That plane is so beautiful. I think it's the best looking Airbus. Great content!

Wait a minute, did I see that right? The tow truck actually LIFTS the front of the plane? I had no idea!

Thankyou very much. I also did enjoy it very much. Its almost imposible to gain that much close view of any aircraft.

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this!! Such an awesome experience!! I love the A340

The biggest plane I've had to pushback is a King Air C90...this is nuts! Great POV, thanks for sharing!

Wow! This was captivating! You were granted some serious access! Nice!

That was amazing!

WOW, so awesome Dan. I love it. What a view from the Pushback Tractor. I love how the tractor grabs the nose wheel and raises it off the ground to move the plane. They don't need a tow bar anymore. Your videos are just awesome!!!!! :)

shame these birds aren't being made anymore

Superb video Dan. I have always wanted to see how an aircraft is being pushed back for a very long time. I could watch it through your video at close quarters. Just imagine just a single hand does the whole operations Once again superb video May God bless you

Best aircraft ever built I love it

A340-600 Lufthansa... The best flight in 12 hours >>> Guarulhos (Brazil) for Munich (Germany)

Really nice (I havn't seen a push back from this angle) - and that plane is so long, haha.

That 👌 was truly amazing 👏

Never seen that up close and detail! Thank you for all the hard work for such a beautiful video.

Tak for this! my favorite plane ever!

It's amazing how the pushback truck not only has the power to push back such a heavy aircraft, but also actually lift it up by the nose gear!

Sehr schön diese Video gefunden zu haben, denn ich habe drinn gesessen. War im übrigen ein sehr angenehmer Flug.

Love this plane so much

It's a good push but as we all know , those of us who have experience of manoeuvring aircraft using a TBL ( lifting ) type tug is very much easier than using a tug and tow bar which articulates at two points. It's much more technical and a skilled method of manoeuvring planes. At Heathrow we would also do this reversing planes onto the taxiway if we have to reposition to hangers or other areas of LHR.

I always look forward to seeing this bird land at CYVR Vancouver Int!

Great skill of the ground crew. Must appreciate!!!

Heading to Munich in October! Taking a 767 Delta, got a window seat aswell. Taking an airbus A330 back

Beautiful plane and impressive piece of machinery.

I regret that I may not get a chance to fly on this beauty as there are so few in service now.

Fascinating video. A totally different perspective of aviation. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Great to see real world pushback. A little description as to the procedure would have been even better.

Thanks for posting! I had no idea the truck picks up the front wheel and pushes the aircraft away from the gate. I thought that all aircraft were pushed back by a post that's attached to the aircraft's front wheel stem and all wheels are rotating backwards when being pushed. Cheers and greetings from SFO!

Wow, just wow!

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

Great pushback vid. Amazing.

Vielen Dank für dieses Video! 👍 Es ist einfach nicht zu fassen, daß so ein schweres Teil sich in die Lüfte erheben kann. Ich bin Flieger, ich kann alles gut erklären, aber so richtig glauben kann ich es nicht. 🙂 LG aus Berlin HaJo

Wow that is long ! Thanks, I'm amazed yr allowed to film it all with security etc !

Air travel is so exciting i love it

Amazing footage! Well done

Frickin Awesome!

Best video ever on your channel.

The Jetway Sound Is Making My Ears Hurt 😂

With all that pressure at the base of landing gear it's amazing it doesn't snap.

Wow this plane is HUGE. I work at a smaller airport in Ohio and the airline I work for get the biggest airbuses, but not nearly this big. I have fun pushing out our planes, couldn’t imagine how much fun this would be,

Best part of being a rampy. I enjoy pushing back planes more than aything.

this is the first time I watched a plane get moved with this truck (not from the plane), great video! Did I by chance see right, did this truck lift up the steering tires?

Awesome video mate!

Thank you very much It is very nice vedio

An excellent video, and first time recording this operation for you. I might want to suggest a different nomenclature for the description of the vehicle. In a manufacturing plant setting a service vehicle would be referred to as a mule, or a tractor. In the automotive roadside service industry, the vehicle would be referred to as Wrecker, or a Tow Truck. In the Maritime service assistant, the vehicle vessel would be referred to as a tug. In the airport service push back, or being used in a towing situation, the vehicle is known as a tug.

i wish someday i got a job like that pushbacking,, adventurous

Better than any amusement park ride. Very cool.

You pushed it out at such a sharp angle and put it right on the line. Well done. I usually try to go for a more smooth curve with such large planes so i don't get an over torque. This was awesome to watch. If I may ask, how heavy was the load on the lifter?

Awesome and rare view! How do you get such an jealous opportunity?

I STILL can't believe how that tug can push such a MASSIVE BEHEMOTH of an airplane like that !

That's a pretty unique video! Thanks for sharing.

Holy Hell - how much weight is on that wheel when its raised up by the tug?!! Amazing

The A340-600 in Lufthansa has a lower level, where the restrooms, galley, and crew rest-areas are, FYI.

amazing Vid!!

Gorgeous plane

Great video - but kept wishing the cameraman would keep focused on all the stages of pushback and not get distracted by the other things!!😅

I love it!

That was awesome. Great video👍👍

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

you make me envy!!!,..... how can you do that!!!,...bravo....bravo

The super tug!!

A really cool and different video. Nice job!

This is really Beautiful!

Strangely incredibly interesting. Love aviation but never even considered what this view would be like. Didn't realise they lifted the planes.

Great video

at the very beginning, that orange cable that was attached to the planes front landing gear, what was that for? 7:00 worried me for a second when I saw that liquid coming from the bottom of the plane and onto the tarmack....

those cable that was attached to the planes front landing gear, what was that for? That leak at 7:00, hope that was a normal leak for the plane......

Amazing Video Dantorp,Big Like!!!

That was insane!

the 747-800 outbeat the length of this plane by three feet

Dat plane is heavy I thought it broke the vehicle and the tires popped lol

Great insight. Thanks!

Great video!!

My Favorite Airplane

That was so neat!

THE BEAST

Buen viaje 🙋🏽‍♂️

Did Munich security really just let a stranger into an airport?

as a future mechanical engineer I would like to work as a technician at one of these great airlines

What kind of engine and transmission do those tugs use to push back big planes

Nice and cool Dan

Very nice 😊

How high above the ground are those front tires lifted by that pushback truck?

That was super cool! What credentials do you have that allow to make videos like this?

Nice

Great stuff! What is the purpose of the cable that the driver connected and disconnected from the plane? I only recently realised that the front wheel was lifted up during push-back. I guess this means the push-back vehicle does not have to be as heavy in order to get sufficient traction to push the plane.

wow your channel is amazing so i subscribed

That is an awesome video

thanks for the graeth video.

Did the driver left something behind? Actually I saw something like a pen and check list attached to the front gear and some ribbons!? What would happen if they forgot completely?

best plane ever

LOL, was hoping that I was going to get a reply back to those couple of questions I asked 1 or 1 year ago and over 2 years ago, but never did, oh well......

Wow. I wish I could experience this.

What a lucky man

Wow, I did not know all that happened when a plane gets pushed back.

I went on this to Greece 🇬🇷 for summer break

That's so cool man 😎
