I am quite surprised by the noise from the engine heard in the cockpit I thought it is quieter in the cockpit and the level of noise is very low.

Never feel unsafe flying to and inside Iran. People are very relaxed.

I would feel more tense around Somalia perhaps.

I was invited on a trip to Pakistan from the MD of PIA so all my flights I received special treatment

Great stuff, Sam. Looks like it was a fun and memorable experience to fly both a unique aircraft and not often flown airline at the same time. Thank you.

Great report! Brought back many happy memories of flying the upper deck of these birds between LHR and SFO on United all those years ago.....

How does one get into the cockpit like this? Amazing thanks for posting! If I had $$ to burn Id buy a 747SP for nostalgic flying reasons. Flew Korean Air on one of these once.

Great video! Interesting that they let you in the cockpit on landing! It would be a great experience although I feel that they shouldn't have non-staff up front during the flight.

Sadly for me I'm too young to have flown in a 742 with the closest I've been to one is the old Qantas 747 in Longreach.

Never been on Iran Air. My last time aboard a 747SP was way back in 1992.
