The Plane That United A Nation
Today we’re taking a look at the SAA Museum’s “Lebombo” aircraft.
This is the Boeing 747 that flew over Ellis Park during the Rugby World Cup in 1995, cementing the moment in history.

I love this Joseph and TrueTalkMedia. Brilliant content, very interesting! ❤
An excellent video. Thanks.
Time to have that aircraft cleaned and polished. It’s no longer in an attraction for me.
Thank you ! Will visit the museum soon. Military museum is lekker also by Linden I think 🤔
In 1971 you could buy a Ford Fairlane V8 for R3000. My dad had one. With the vinyl roof.
Brilliant video
I flew on Lebombo to UK in 1981, in Economy and I still have the small Ceramic salt and pepper set plus small Ceramic toothpick holder.. We had Real cutlery as well plus a menu.. Those were the days..
Been there❤
Too bad she is not dressed in 🟧⬜️🟦 any more.
❤
I remember very well memorable times indeed, before some people decided to destroy everything. Hope she's enjoying her pension 😁

Insane video Joseph!✈
I traveled on some of SAA’s Jumbos many times when I was younger.
I ever remember sitting inside the cockpit of the -400.
Everyone watching one movie was just how flying was then.
It wasn’t add boring as you might think, because times were so different.
Cellphones didn’t exist, and TV at home had two or three channels.
We weren’t used the constant input, limited entertainment options were normal.
You could also listen to multiple audio options. You would select your audio channel. One of the channels was for the movie that was playing.
It was on a flight on a SAA 747 that I first listened to the comedian Bill Hicks.
Lebombo was the first B747 that SAA took delivery of. This was in November 1971. I still recall clearly riding out to Salisbury Airport to watch its first landing and take-off there. Unforgettable!
kwaai Joseph🙌🏻
description is "Boeing 474" 😭
A nice thing to add would be that most of these buttons are circuit breakers and stuff, they are very rarely used…
No way in 55 years 3000 became 258000
I arrived in SA from the UK in 1983 onboard SAA Tafelberg, fast forward to 2007 at my brothers Bachelors party at Hi-Flyers pub in Boksburg and found the cockpit in the pub as a decoration…took me and my brother back to our flight over in 83, we got a tour of the cockpit by the crew.
Great memories.
