These ferry flights were operated by Nomadic Aviation, who got a special ferry license, so I don't think it is possible to fly on one, especially due to the risks involved.(Keep in mind the first one flew after 3 years under storage, the others have been stored for even longer) I tried to get airside access just to see it takeoff but even that didn't work...

If anyone here could just help me in getting to see one in person would be great

I completely understand that. Plus, my family won't be happy with me risking my life on an old aircraft that's been idle for years.

Let us know if/when you get to know the dates for the next 747 departure.

And do count me in for, if you manage to get a in-person visit and/or the airside access for the next departures.
