1) Is this the James Bond B747 classic?

2) Are those United Air Lines Business Class seats?

3) I wonder how much VS was paid / paid to have a few seconds of brand recognition in the video.

Anyone can fly, only the best Soar.

1), Yes unless there are any other 747's out there with 2 engines on the inboard pylons and fuel tanks on the outboard pylons.

2) Don't know

3) I doubt most normal people would even notice they are supposed to be VS cabin crew, so I would imagine very little.

In the outside part of the video it is the 747 from the New James bond movie, because of the double engines and extra fuel tanks. but the cockpit has only 3 throttles so the cockpit is not a 747 and not a DC-10 or L-1011 because there is not F/E panel, also why is there a 727 in the beginning then a 747

If it is the Uniform's you mean they are most likely second hand just like the plane left over from the James Bond film

Calm down there sweetheart. This is a forum not a cage fight.

It isn't the old American C class seat. I'm wondering what other airline uses the LED lights with a similar seat to UA. Any guesses?
