I always enjoy landing and taking off in winter storms like this. Especially when I am on the older aircraft such as the MD-88s and 90s. It's a nice cozy feeling onboard.
Thanks for putting that up. This video has everything!! You got minimums that probably weren't totally legal. you've got the deep bass sound of that "Diesel". For me, the pucker factor would have been up there and I have an Air Medal from the U.S. Army. thanks again.
Looks like the pilot really had to work on this one! Power up, power down, etc....looks like extreme weather too! Runways look covered in snow. Great video! Thanks!
The DC-9 was always a reliable and iconic plane to fly on. I still do miss seeing all the Northwest DC-9s at DTW and MSP. They could handle almost any weather and yet bring passengers to their destination safe and sound. They really were workhorses
Great video! My last ride in a DC-9 was January 2007, on a Northwest flight home from DTW to MBS. At some point after getting to altitude, the flight attendant went around and said we could sit anywhere we wanted. I chose to sit over by the right side looking over the wing. It was great, listening to those beastly engines and watching those old wings flex.
I remember sitting in the second to last seat on one and the engine noise was really up front. You could also smell the fuel too. It really felt like flying.
Sam S Is hard to tell, both were good, with proven airframes, Douglas seems to have more history in aicraft industry and DC-10 previous models like DC-8 and DC-3 were rock solid, The known thei bussines. Shame on the neglected cargo door and the poor range figures on MD-11, brought down Douglas
@@ChrisCokeRobinson those “American airplanes” existed half a century before any Airbus equivalent was even created… so what are you trying to say here?🤣🤣
Awesome! As someone who has actually flown an aircraft, landings in these sorts of conditions are the only time I tense up a bit as a passenger, and really hope the folks up front are flying 100% by the book and 100% observing both CRM and sterile cockpit rules. Landing an airplane, in and of itself, is not a difficult feat. Landing in these conditions, on the other hand, is insanely difficult, and demands total situational awareness. One split-second of inattention can kill - and has done, on many an occasion. Bravo, Crew!
Technically is was probably full allowable reverse thrust not full reverse. Using reverse thrust beyond the the recommendations will cause a non steerable issue. Too much reverse will have a negative impact on the rudder. The pilot can not steer the aircraft. Especially on a slick runway
Man o man God is the Greatest. I love the sound of the spooling engines on the Boeing 707, 717, 727, 737-100-200-and dash 300, including the DC-9, MD-80, and MD-90. It feels really good......
I concur. I will venture to guess that they were NW / NWA pilots with the former Northwest Airlines. They knew how to fly in such stuff on their routes in the MidWest and beyond.
@@NJ-Tech It had its moments w/ checkered past, as did the DC-10 too. Nonetheless, the DC-9 was rugged and well built, all in all, IMHO. Can't say the same for rattly, rattling Airbus planes and some Boeing aircraft too. Flight fatigue may be culprit in increased rattling etc. in today's jet aircraft. Not an aeronautic engineer to attest to this. RIP, old DC-9s and big "cattle-car" DC-10 jumbo jets, legacy jets in NWA's jet fleet.
Good ol' DC-9. Can't even count how many times I've flown on them. This bird flew this route through this weather many times while operating for North Central.
Absolutely loved this video! What a crazy approach and that hard landing, though it sucked for the passengers was perfect considering how contaminated that runway was...Good pilots don't put it down nice and smooth when braking action is that poor...Just an all around awesome video. Thanks for sharing!!! PS can you post the rest of the taxi into the gate????
The real question is how the pilot was able to do a landing with such adverse conditions, normally these planes dont have much tech to rely on other than the basic instrumentation, awesome landing.
the dangerous part is not that but driving from the airport to your house in that kind of weather. been in this kind of situation and what sucks is that after collecting my luggage, I have to catch a ride to rental carpark and have to wait forever because the weather just that bad by the time I get the car out from the carpark, the fist thing that happen is I slide into embankment and have to walk back to the rental office and wait there forever.
Yup, the tough ol' versatility of the DC-9 was one of its plusses vs. negative on fuel consumption jet fuel guzzler engines. RIP, DC-9s and NW/ NWA (Northwest Airlines), a former major air carrier flying the DC-9s which I flew on.
Interesting landing. Pretty hard landing, spoliers went up a little late, didn't go to idle at 100 50 feet, and the flight attendant got on the PA right when it hit the ground.
At 3:55 you can hear the *clunk!* of the thrust reversers locking in the closed position. On the real airplane, you also feel a slight bump at that moment if you're sitting by the engines.
Did that shit in Philly onetime literally 20 ft off the deck before I could see anything,4 days later took off in the same to ATL where it was blue skies and 70 degrees.
I work at MSP airport and have seen it in person up close. Its sitting at the Delta Cargo ramp behind the Delta Ops hangers near the MOA. They stripped the Delta working and logo off but the Registration remains. Last time i saw is was June-July 2017.
Great and superb video. Bad to moderately severe winter weather. It could've been even worse or more dangerous to fly if more severe. RIP, old DC-9s and legacy air carrier, NW / NWA (Northwest Airlines), a good airline with checkered past of its previous management, IMHO.
Props to the pilot. Full on cat III landing with no glass instruments, all dials. Super hard. Unless the Dc-9 had auto landing. But I'm pretty sure it didn't.
I flew in and out from Orlando and to Amsterdam also this day. We were sheduled to depart 6 PM to AMS but eventually we were stuck in the plane for over six hours because of the weather -__-
amazing landing! welcome to Mi, I would just stay at the hotel at the airport, I wouldn't have tried to drive home! I lived about an hr and a half away....it would take me at least double that!
I think it becomes second nature after a while. I remember a particular turbulent landing at CVG (also on Delta)... it seemed like we were all over the place, wings still rocking crossing the Ohio River which was full of huge whitecaps... and then BANG!... we landed "firmly" on one of the 18's (couldn't see). While the plane is still bouncing and racing down the runway, an older flight attendant with classic smoker's voice comes on the PA: "Welcome to Cincinnati... local time is..."
Amazing how this airplane with very little automation (ours had not autothrottles, or FMS, but plenty of analog instruments) , cable driven flight controls, could fly this approach and a lot of modern (Boeing and Airbus) don't land on this kind of weather, whether by how the airplanes are operated or by chicken shit lawyer up rules. Long live the DC9!
I concur, a rugged and sturdy plane, better than most jets flying in this day and age. Not sure if these old birds are refurbish-able with better, more fuel efficient engines. Same also for MD-80 and MD-90 series jets. RIP, old DC-9s.
Despite all of the hoopla here, that looked to me to be a fine approach and landing. I'm a retired Delta captain and I'm proud of the cockpits they run. BTW...NW has been around the block a few times and they're part of the family.
I know alot about planes of ypur wondering how itis flying that engine may look off but it is decreasd engine. Speed so its ok i flew a mcdonnel douglas 88 that did that
Outch that was a hard landing I miss the old 727 and the 737 200 for a time I did not like the dc9 but now I do miss it the jt8d was a great sounding engine if I win the lottery and let it build for a time I would have a private plane and it would be an old 737 200 part of the belly would be turned into extra fuel tanks then the rest would be water and suage tanks then with the extra fuel tank it would give it a range of 20,000 miles it would be a one of a kind 737 200
I guess the degree of severeness is in the eye of the beholder, but this is simply bad weather, not severe. Severe weather to me is the plane bouncing around making it difficult to maintain pitch and longitudinal alignment with the runway. Nothing here but low ceilings with light snow showers.

Ah the DC-9. A legend indeed. The JT8D's are/were music to the ears.
Yup, they were music to the ears of those liking the ol' DC-9 and successors. RIP, DC-9s, in North American airline service.
THAT WAS AWESOME! If I ever landed in crappy weather, I would chose a DC-9-51. It's fun, It's loud, it's a classic! Great video
I always enjoy landing and taking off in winter storms like this. Especially when I am on the older aircraft such as the MD-88s and 90s. It's a nice cozy feeling onboard.
I really agree. Much better than Embraer 135 and the likes.
Agreed! I think the NW interior on these birds just naturally had a cozy feeling to them.
cozy is right. I dont even feel comfortable on newer planes.
Been on many flights in snowstorms out of SYR for ATL, on MD-88’s and 90’s before they were retired
Thanks for putting that up. This video has everything!! You got minimums that probably weren't totally legal. you've got the deep bass sound of that "Diesel". For me, the pucker factor would have been up there and I have an Air Medal from the U.S. Army. thanks again.
I grew up with the JT8D. The Boeing 737-200, 727-200, and all those wonderful DC-9s. Great sound, weather, memories!
Love Douglas Jets.......Beautiful sound. Thank you so much for sharing with us
Looks like the pilot really had to work on this one! Power up, power down, etc....looks like extreme weather too! Runways look covered in snow. Great video! Thanks!
I agree. Pilot earned his or her pay, that's for sure, in flying into adverse snowy weather & difficult runway conditions.
Hence the title of the video
Good grief, I don't think people realize how dangerous that landing could have been. That pilot is amazing
These are true aviation professionals!!!!! Nice video! Love and miss the DC-9s.
The DC-9 was always a reliable and iconic plane to fly on. I still do miss seeing all the Northwest DC-9s at DTW and MSP. They could handle almost any weather and yet bring passengers to their destination safe and sound. They really were workhorses

Looked like the pilot touched down a good 2 feet after the runway started, great catch!
I remember sitting in the second to last seat on one and the engine noise was really up front. You could also smell the fuel too. It really felt like flying.
Shame on Douglas haters .... what a plane !!!
I think McDonnell Douglas is better than Boeing! (If I dare say)

All these American airplaanes cant compare to AIRBUS
@@ChrisCokeRobinson those “American airplanes” existed half a century before any Airbus equivalent was even created… so what are you trying to say here?🤣🤣
Great landing, gotta stick 'em hard in that snow.

Poor, innocent dude: “Do it again! Do it again!”
Pilots: “Are you out of your frickin’ mind?”
Great engine sounds, brings back fond memories!
Great filming Ryan! Seemed like a little bit rough of a landing. Also, great you got full reverse, probably my favorite part of the -9!
Great video and recording of this rather rough landing in the snow. Nice audio of full reverse thrust of those engines.
Technically is was probably full allowable reverse thrust not full reverse. Using reverse thrust beyond the the recommendations will cause a non steerable issue. Too much reverse will have a negative impact on the rudder. The pilot can not steer the aircraft. Especially on a slick runway
Thanks for sharing! What a memorable and thrilling last DC-9 flight for you.
This is possibly the worst weather I have ever flown in! Enjoy the video! : D
+NWA1503 wow must have been frightening!
You must not fly much....
I would love to fly in the snow. Never done so (yet). Beautiful view from the window.
Damn that is some landing dude! Definitely severe with that visibility. Big like!
Man o man God is the Greatest. I love the sound of the spooling engines on the Boeing 707, 717, 727, 737-100-200-and dash 300, including the DC-9, MD-80, and MD-90. It feels really good......
It looks like the turbulence was wreaking havoc. Nicely done! Great pilots!!
I concur. I will venture to guess that they were NW / NWA pilots with the former Northwest Airlines. They knew how
to fly in such stuff on their routes in the MidWest and beyond.
They just don't build 'em like they used to, loved the video!
+incheon For good reason. whilst i'd love to agree with you, i would on anything but the DC-9. What a horrific safety record that plane had!

I had the luck to land like this with a Swissair DC9. I think was an 32 model in the glorios 70*s
I hand it to the pilot- an extremely tough landing and the DC-9 (JT8d's) sounds are so iconic and relaxing ... pure sleep music.
Good ol' DC-9. Can't even count how many times I've flown on them. This bird flew this route through this weather many times while operating for North Central.
Springbok295 many third world countries still use them
This is an amazing video, I had to watch it again! Great work, love the DC-9!
I agree, an amazing video and great audio of the engines. Loved the classic ol' DC-9 when it was flying. RIP, DC-9s. RIP, NW or NWA also.

It's just amazing what trained professionals and these incredible machines are capable of this modern era miracles.
Awesome to see a DC-9-51 landing at my favorite and local airport and in my favorite type of weather! Nice video!

Putera Usman
I would not worry so much about the weather as I would about the runway. It looks covered in snow...slippery!
tht was pretty epic. Some of the worst weather I flew through was on a DC9 N762NC between SAV-ATL on a summer night with thunderstorms everywhere
THAT was a great landing.
A great landing indeed, in tricky runway conditions with the snow. Pilot earned his/her pay for sure.
Now this aircraft is the fire training plane for Mac at MSP airport. Look it up.
Just proves the versatility of the DC-9
Definitely. Love the diesel-9. Those have been around for years. Simple and reliable.
Yup, the tough ol' versatility of the DC-9 was one of its plusses vs. negative on fuel consumption jet fuel guzzler engines. RIP, DC-9s and NW/ NWA (Northwest Airlines), a former major air carrier flying the DC-9s which I flew on.
Perfect! He used full reverse!! Love it!!!
Same here, i concur. Loved the video and hearing those old engines on the now retired DC-9s, bringing back past memories of previous flights.
Aw some! Very nice bird there. North Central. Dang thing was rebranded what 3 times maybe 4 haha. Great video.
That is pretty heavy snow but the winds don't look to bad, good video
Interesting landing. Pretty hard landing, spoliers went up a little late, didn't go to idle at 100 50 feet, and the flight attendant got on the PA right when it hit the ground.

Amazing landing always loved flying on the DC 9

I just saw it today. Does it run and is it for sale? If so, AWESOME!
He stuck that like a champ.
TOUGH as nails. A GREAT aircraft!!!!! Kudos to the crew on landing in what looked like atrocious conditions.
You call that severe? A little overcast to be sure. Love the video!
This video is soooooooo awesome, thank you for the upload!!! This just made my day Lol
Superb video!!! bad winter weather but it's not "severe".......
Great and superb video. Bad to moderately severe winter weather. It could've been even worse or more dangerous to fly if more severe. RIP, old DC-9s and legacy air carrier, NW / NWA (Northwest Airlines), a good airline with checkered past of its previous management, IMHO.
Wow, fantastic! I'm surprised the airport was even open, you didn't get diverted.
Props to the pilot. Full on cat III landing with no glass instruments, all dials. Super hard. Unless the Dc-9 had auto landing. But I'm pretty sure it didn't.
Awesome video! How I miss DTW winter ops!
I flew in and out from Orlando and to Amsterdam also this day. We were sheduled to depart 6 PM to AMS but eventually we were stuck in the plane for over six hours because of the weather -__-
Well this video sucked the air out of my lungs in a hurry. Blame the sound of those engines, just spectacular.
amazing landing! welcome to Mi, I would just stay at the hotel at the airport, I wouldn't have tried to drive home! I lived about an hr and a half away....it would take me at least double that!
Nothing beats those Delta Cat. 3 landings. Butter.
Landing in this kinda weather with an engine out is damn right impressive. Good job on the pilots end.
both engines are working dude, the external blades you see in a jt8d powered airplane(732, 727, dc9, md80) dont move, only guide the air
Did you know that avionics are recalibrated once per year for five degrees for 🧲 pole shift?
Hey! I flew on the DC-9 for 2 times. One I actual flew DTW-JAX and second I flew from MSP-ORD. I will miss DC-9 very much.
I landed on 3R too about an hour before you did. You're landing was about the same as mine lol. Couldn't see the ground until like 100 feet haha
Wow landing was pretty firm ;) Didn't know the dc9 had autoland capabilities
Well that was amazing.
I loved my baby rocket! Only aircraft I would ever choose to sit in the back.
I always liked the sound of those DC9 engines.
Lovely! But landing announcement is not to start during engine reverse. She starts way to early.
How I miss winter ops! Great video!
Welcome to Winter Wonderland :-). Nice video
That was like some nice polite golf clapping!
What is it with these flight attendants that start the announcements right when the plane touches down before the pilot even slows the plane down?
I think it becomes second nature after a while. I remember a particular turbulent landing at CVG (also on Delta)... it seemed like we were all over the place, wings still rocking crossing the Ohio River which was full of huge whitecaps... and then BANG!... we landed "firmly" on one of the 18's (couldn't see).

The dramaturgue of the skyes! Forever beloved!
Wow - my life in general these days. Heavy and fun!
Love how the reversers are still at full and the FA is doing her announcement 😂
Nice and still outside too.
Northwest Delta crew? Nice job
Did you guys bounce a lot on landing. That's normal for wet and slippery conditions, right?
yes
Excellent video, but why was the deranged FA giving announcements while reverse thrust was on and no one could hear what she was saying anyway? Crazy.
Btw what rwy was that? I'd didn't look like 21L or 22R
We landed on 3R. I couldn't tell which runway I landed on until I watched the video over again.
There's a couple of pros up in the flight deck doing their thing
Amazing how this airplane with very little automation (ours had not autothrottles, or FMS, but plenty of analog instruments) , cable driven flight controls, could fly this approach and a lot of modern (Boeing and Airbus) don't land on this kind of weather, whether by how the airplanes are operated or by chicken shit lawyer up rules. Long live the DC9!
Well, how was it?
God Bless America
The weather was crap, but not THAT bad.
DC-9s are tanks, btw. One of the strongest frames built with simple systems. I'd fly on one any day.
I concur, a rugged and sturdy plane, better than most jets flying in this day and age. Not sure if these old birds are
refurbish-able with better, more fuel efficient engines. Same also for MD-80 and MD-90 series jets. RIP, old DC-9s.
That pilot has balls of steel.
why is the outer fan not spining on the engine?
it's not a fan.... is a guard for FOD
o is see now thanks
They're inlet guide vanes. They direct the air to meet the fan stage at the optimum angle.
I live in that aera but don't rember that storm
Despite all of the hoopla here, that looked to me to be a fine approach and landing. I'm a retired Delta captain and I'm proud of the cockpits they run. BTW...NW has been around the block a few times and they're part of the family.
I just hate that DL busted our NW union. No longer "part of the family."
I know alot about planes of ypur wondering how itis flying that engine may look off but it is decreasd engine. Speed so its ok i flew a mcdonnel douglas 88 that did that
Outch that was a hard landing I miss the old 727 and the 737 200 for a time I did not like the dc9 but now I do miss it the jt8d was a great sounding engine if I win the lottery and let it build for a time I would have a private plane and it would be an old 737 200 part of the belly would be turned into extra fuel tanks then the rest would be water and suage tanks then with the extra fuel tank it would give it a range of 20,000 miles it would be a one of a kind 737 200
Great sound! Subscribed.
I'd be busy crapping my pants and the FA was just nonchalantly doing the landing announcement at the beginning of the reverse thrust.
amazing video,, enjoyed it
Wasn't expecting severe snow but ok.
I guess the degree of severeness is in the eye of the beholder, but this is simply bad weather, not severe. Severe weather to me is the plane bouncing around making it difficult to maintain pitch and longitudinal alignment with the runway. Nothing here but low ceilings with light snow showers.
amazing video!
I thought only Alaska Airlines was allowed to land in the snow.
Must have used Northwest / NW or NWA pilots to pilot these old birds, the DC-9s.
Any questions about Airline Pilot's salaries here?-------I didn't think so.
Nice video! So where's the severe part?
A CAT III landing in heavy snow is by all means severe weather.
@@darrenschannels it is, I made that comment 3 years ago when I was an idiot ignore it lmfao
That is what you call get her on the ground with no fanfare.
