@@SNATRAVELS Still a part of the Dog family regardless if Boeing bought out McDonnell Douglas. This was a McDonnell Douglas MD95, first cousin the the MD80/DC9 family before Boeing bought them out. Therefore, I consider the 717 the Mini Mad Dog.
Another superb video and work! As always, never give up, keep innovating for more great possibilities, and striving with your passions, and I look forward to more outstanding content from you! I sincerely wish you and your family all the best for a fortunate, rewarding and prosperous 2024! ✈️🍀👍
0:10 On the whole, why were U.S. manufactured commercial airliners, and particularly Boeings, built relatively low to the ground? Douglas and Lockheed's 3-hole widebodies bucked this trend by the early 1970s, but Airbus and I guess Ilyushin(Il-86) were always thinking of the future with fuselages positioned from 2-4m higher above the tarmac than most American models. It wasn't until 1980, when Boeing introduced its 'glass cockpit' trio - the 75, 76, and 77, that we saw a trend of higher riding platforms, with room sufficient for new engine upgrades.
Good question. I think it is for ease of service so you don’t have to get as high to service or even fuel the aircraft. Idk if that’s the real answer or not but that’s my guess
Love the America West Retro Livery in the background
My lovely city of Charlotte
Great night flight video
Everybody loves the Mad Dogs!!!
this is not a Mad Dog, its a Boeing

Thank you! Cheers!
Wow surprised they still have those around, they are mostly gone
they are mainly regional jets, most people get them mixed up with the MD's
The first time I flew on a Delta 717 was on this exact same ship. 😁
Whoa

@@avtrav2855 Height doesn't seem to be a problem on 777s, or most Airbus planes.
