My first jet! Six very different jets later, I retired on the Airbus A320, hands down, my favorite.... and yes, I agree with redsalute3, the cockpit looks well maintained. As an airline pilot, I completely disagree with Rocky’s comments.
My first ever Flight was on a DC9. 1987 Dublin to Ibiza with a Spanish Airline called Aviaco. I was scared stiff because it looked like a Dart! Like in this video we were bussed out to it. What made it worse was it was a night flight and we were taking off into a black sky. Once we were up and cruising I calmed down and have been hooked on Air Travel ever since. The scariest part was the powering up of those rear engines. I was sitting in the back near to them. This video brought back that memory. An amazing sound. Good times.
Please not! Sorry for breaking up the party but these 7 minutes are full of mistakes / pilot error. Can you tell me who's pilot flying? The CPT who's also answering radio calls while handflying and the FO searches for landing performance charts shortly after takeoff in low altitude with thunderstorm clouds around the aircraft? Later on (hard to see if the Autopilot was engaged already) he's also flicking switches on the overhead, not his area of responsibility. Also doing the takeoff performance while the CPT is taxing is simply wrong and can cause ground collision or even fatal takeoff accidents. There's no workload management, task delegation or compliance with procedures visible. Also he shouldn't have the Garmin aera GPS blocking his sight on the Autopilot Mode Annunciation Panel, only the FO is doing it correctly. The thrust lever angle split is more than the size of the handle, so it should have been brought to the attention of a mechanic earlier. Bush operation from the 70ies. I'm sorry to say, he might have been a good military pilot, but what he demonstrates in this short clip, it seems he's not the man for a multi pilot ops airliner cockpit, at least not in most parts of the world.
@@jordanfreshbaker6800 agree with you mostly except for the bush operation comment! Taxi checklist when half way approaching runway for take off....maybe they were behind schedule which shouldn't excuse such tardiness. CRM should be brought in.
Cockpit looks in good condition but in terms of fuel consumption they cannot be too economically feasible. The crew's cockpit procedures were impressive. Very professional.
What a great combination of analog with modern electronic technology in a classic beauty like the DC-9. Last time I flew with a DC-9 was back in 1995 (Madrid to La Palma, LEMD-GCLA) with the extinct AVIACO. Thanks for sharing this awesome video. Greetings from Gran Canaria, (Confined)-Spain.
Good CRM. Maj (Rtd) Kavingo a well seasoned pilot and instructor Pilot. He was my instructor on Fiexed wing as a civilian great person. For those who understad swahili the crew reminded me of the PANAM and KLM accident in Teriffe cross checking and confirming the clearance has been issued. I wish you all blue skies.
I dont agree with Good CRM Autopilot off ,hands on yoke,and PM will do your requests,I didn’t see that on this movie at least on takeoff. Captain hands was on yoke and then jumping to overhead panel and to flight guidance panel
Just what i'been looking foor a nice HD Md83-Dc9 cockpit HD video! Not so much videos like this around! And that nice looking cockpit makes this video sweet like lemonade.. bring back the old time days! real flying!
I have about 12000 hrs in the B-737, but always wanted to fly the DC-9..... it was my favorite aircraft since about 12 years old. Sadly I don't think that will happen now, so I do enjoy watching these videos
Analog cockpit and good condition. This is a cockpit that keeps pilots on their toes real hands on in these older planes. Thanks guys. Regards from South Africa
@@dantramgb8953 : I didn't find the noise in the back of a DC-9 to be too objectionable, really. The aerodynamic noise overtakes the engine noise for the most part in cruise.
This vid is so great. . .i flew on several -15s and -32s as operated by Ozark Airlines (remember them?). Glad to see old but good and well-loved equipment being used again in other countries!
To me personally, the gauges makes a cockpit look beautiful...i honestly hate the glass cockpit..idk why but it looks less of a cockpit especially for an IFR maniac like me....nice pilots... With love from tanzania...safi sana hiyo..
Now THAT'S a cockpit. I love the gauges . The modern glass screens are boring. Lol. I know they are convient for the pilot....but as just a fan of airplanes, I prefer the old planes. Reminds me of what I would see as a kid peeking into the cockpit as I was boarding in the 80's.
@@killianjohn4794 Everyone should and yes it does (alive too not to mention)... this airfoil is twice my age and I love oldschool classics! (looks in disgust at "new-age Boeing" and "the MAX programs")
I wonder what the designers would say if we could go back to 1965 when the DC-9 first flew and tell them that there would still be a few airlines flying this plane in the year 2020.
I saw the FO do his after takeoff flow once the flaps were up and he set climb power. I kept wondering wtf happened to the slats, then I remembered, the 14 never had any!
Wow! My DC9-15 didn’t have that kit level and our Wx radar was a monochrome thing that was worse than useless. Glad they still have the mirrors on the centre combing, for those who haven’t had the pleasure of flying the 9 they are so that you can see the E2B compass which is buried in the roof behind the copilot, it’s reflection is seen in those mirrors via a light and another mirror so that it appears the right way round. Nice walk down memory lane.

He was probably counteracting crosswind rather than trying to initiate some sort of turn, so he's moving the yoke but the wings remain relatively level
Hunter Fagan if you look at a lot of takeoff and landing videos on older aircraft you will notice they are usually flown just about the same way as today even with better computer technology. The Autopilot has always needed a lot of pilot input and still does. Many pilots hand fly more than they are being credited and even when the plane is on autopilot pilots are always in control of the plane. It is simply a tool
Game Tiger mainly, I just prefer flying airplanes with basic steam gauges. I don’t mind if the plane has auto pilot. I find that helpful when flying single pilot ifr. But it doesn’t seem fun to just program an fmc and have the plane do all flying
@@flymajj omg, wow. So happy to hear about that. You were one of the three guys? If yes then I must have seen you in Sam's video. I have recently started posting videos of my flying however I havent flown quite a number of times but i am hoping soon i will be flying more and more. My next planned flights are NBO-ADD-DXB(Here is to fly the A350, my favourite aircraft, Ethiopian), NBO-Lilongwe(I want to fly the Malawian), DXB-NBO- Kq Dreamliner , DAR-MORONI(Comoros by Air Tanzania)

This airline takes pride in their equipment. That's a 50 year old plane and the cockpit looks pristine and well updated.

Just perfect nice to see real aviators still in the air !
Professional crew. Always amazed how quiet it gets after the gear comes up.
That's the DC-9 for you. Of course with those JT8Ds on the back just about everyone else is gonna hate how loud it is. :P

Wonderful aircraft.. I am type rated on MD-80 and There is not many changes on Scan flow... lovely Engines..
A most excellent piece of filming . Love the DC-9 .
Really enjoyed watching the pilots working together.
Nice to see my home airport featured too. Thank you!

Wonderful video! Love the DC-9.
Really wonderfull flashback to the days i used to work with the dc-9
Very good job, professional
I would feel confident with those pilots.

I like in Mombasa ...a lot Kenya pilot very experience with old air plane . They are good maintenance of Air plane
It looks very well maintained and clean!
Good crew. Good communication.
Flown this often enough, cool to see it from the flight deck, good stuff!
Wow I have never seen portable Garmin GPS units mounted to the panel of an airliner before
This is absolutely a spotless aircraft. Indeed an absolute beautiful plane and a real “pilots plane”. Wish these were still popular. Hate new jets

África país de gente linda que Dios los Bendiga.......
Great aircraft, awesome professional crew!!
Great video!
How good the cabin looks, good in general the plane!
They should bring these old school planes back into production ,with some updated software
The MD-90 was the shit. Then Boeing brought MD.
The Chinese Comac ARJ-21 sort of tried (tries?) to achieve that...
There was also a 717 but it never caught on well.
Say hi to Captain Kavengo....family right there
You can see why pilots love this plane.
What a treat it must be to fly that plane.
Yes Sir, hand fly that baby! Love it.👍
the actual take off is @ 3:48. so he first half is boarding and taxi time. change the name of the video to FLY SAX DC9 FROM BOARDING, TAXI TO TAKE OFF
God this Cockpit looks stunning .. 👍🤘🏼😉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I used this airline for years flying from Nairobi into Mogadishu. All the rest are pretty awful but never had any issues with sax
5:44 i love that buzzer sound xD
amazing,fantastic
Loved old airplane 💗💗💗
Dang they even modernized it with a bit new gear too
Pristine Professionalism. Well done.
Awesome, thanks for sharing! I wonder if this plane has autopilot?
It does it's on the center console between the pilots. I only saw it briefly engaged toward the end of the video. LUV the DC-9's!!!!
I love it seems to me all African pilots like to do steep turns!!! great flying....
Nice job guys
OMG that thing is amazing
Beautiful 😍
No flight director on the ADI?
