Thanks. I've been trying to start my DC-8 all morning. 😂
Kidding aside, thanks for this video. I'm not going to be a pilot but learning never stops.

[@dankuettel5063]

I sure miss that sound

[@JetFlix]

Gosh me too! There is something special about several JT3 engines being spooled up. It is a sound from a long passed era. The engines spool at different crescendos and new airliners just sound so different. I am glad I filmed these DC-8-62 engine sounds from many different perspectives during my time with ATI.

Now can you demonstrate a Cessna 150? That one is a little closer to my level.

[@JetFlix]

Sorry that type is out of my interest area.

[@rexcotter3558]

Gear tins are still in.

[@JetFlix]

Exactly .. as this was a live taxi and engine max power check so gear pins are kept in for maximum safety. They are only removed for flight not ground runs.

Thank you...

Nice n Noisy 😅

[@JetFlix]

The first generation jetliners like the DC-8 as well the 707, Comet, Convair 880 and 990 and Vickers VC-10 all had the noisy and high fuel burning jet engines of the day, similar to the JT3 engines which power the DC-8-62, and most Boeing 707s. The smoke and noise was legendary for these airliner classics🤟🤟😀😀

Why the DC-8 was a pilots aircraft.

[@JetFlix]

It is very cool! The engineer did a lot of stuff so the pilot could concentrate on flying.
