Watch me marshall a Cargolux Boeing 747-400 Freighter into its parking stand at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport ( KORD /ORD ).
I'm standing on top of a set of airstairs because the flight crew wouldn't be able to see me if I were standing on level ground between the aircraft and the warehouse behind me.
The aircraft in this video is LX-SCV, manufacturer's serial number ( MSN ) 29733 & line number ( ln ) 1281. This airframe is 21.5 years old at the time of this upload and has been in service with Cargolux since its delivery in a cargo freighter configuration in August of 2001. For a short period between July 2018 and July 2021, this aircraft was in service with Cargolux Italia - the reason for that being that Cargolux has many customers in Italy, but Italian law wouldn't allow them to operate in/out of the Mediterranean nation as a foreign company, so Cargolux Italia was created as a foreign venture of the Luxembourg-based parent airline.
Thank you all for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed the video!
