You can tell that that is a very early production model because the tailcone is pointed later models had the beaver tail cone I worked on those aircraft as a mechanic for McDonald Douglas so that brings back memories for me anyways
Also what kind of engine does that thing have lunch again I worked on those at McDonald Douglas and that does not look like a Pratt & Whitney JT8D-217 The engine cowlings are completely different almost like the one she would see on an MD 90 and that is an MD90 Anyways just asking I still remember a few things from these old aircraft
Hi attben. There are several days in a year when they have "open doors" on that airport, so you can get on the plane and have it explained to you if you are interested.
This is an older video of this aircraft, I was positively surprised a couple of months ago, where I found this plane totally cleaned up from the outside!
I loved working on those planes. Very mechanical, very simple.
i love to have an dc10 in my back yard i do have a big heart for the md80

@@craftforceXL awesome thank you :)
Saddened view to see one of legendary aircraft sits on remote field, looking weary and abandoned, have no wings to fly freely again.

The boy explaining looks competent and for sure Charming...is he a pilot now?
#S5-ACC MD-82 AURORA AIRLINES
Is that MD-80 no longer flying?
NO, it no longer flies. The plane is parked in MBX for years, engines removed...
At least, Delta still operates this plane.
@WPLU572 Trunked Radio there are still 28 left for American
The MD-90 is the king of md80 families. Its the mad Pit Bull
MD80 :)
Are they speaking in Russian language??
Nope, Slovenian language.
“World’s Quietest MD-80?” What kind of Super-80 is this? Quiet and MD-80 aren’t supposed to be in the same sentence 😂
Actually, this MD-80 was a testbed for a newer hushkit system designed for the aircraft to be more compatible with Chapter 4 noise restrictions.
