With most of the worlds major civil (PAX) operators now beginning to part-out their fleets of B747 aircraft the following 2 videos are probably "appropriate".
The following videos represent both the classic B747-200B .... and the B747-400 .... essentially 2 entirely different technological developments of the same aircraft type.
B747-200B CLASSIC - VIRGIN ATLANTIC AIRWAYS - LONDON/LGW TO MIAMI & RETURN

The above is by far "the best" flight in the cockpit series documentary I've ever seen .... having first seen it during the late 1990's and around the time we/AIR NZ sold each of our 5 B747-200B's to VIRGIN.
B747-400 - LUFTHANSA GERMAN AIRLINES - FRANKFURT TO HONG KONG

The above video's not as good, but, still "very informative" all the same.
"NOT" my favorate aircraft by any stretch of the imagination .... BUT .... "A tribute" to the B747's 50 (more-or-less) years of service to civil airlines around the world.
