Guess what? I’m clean out of footage this week, so I dug deep through my archives to find some clips from a Delta MD88 flight from 2018 that I never did anything with.
Anyway, with the retirement of the Delta MD88 less than a year away, this ended up being a perfect opportunity to say goodbye to the old gal. It was just a short hop from West Palm Beach (PBI) to Atlanta (ATL), but it was fun nonetheless and I’m glad that I was able to do something with this footage.
I had seat 31E for this one hour and twenty minute flight, and the aircraft registration was N950DL.

I vote for more San Spotter cat videos.
💯💯💯💯
Give me those cat vids.
Yes me to
Wow, 51 likes! Thinking maybe I should change my name to CATspotter. 😄
stop
0:40 Yes. So. As a cat person, that is a hard choice. Can't we have both? Who takes care of the kitty when you are gone?
1:48 Not bored at all, I was a bit worried about you not making any new videos for a second though. Fill up zhe barrel!
5:14 Return to cabin?
Scott's parents, are you reading this?
Hi from the Netherlands!
Haha, another vote for more cat videos. 😁 thankfully she stays home with family when I’m traveling, so it’s not that bad for her.
Ok
Of course we’re watching, Scott! Nice job... 😉
Wow! You really are watching! Just checking. 👋🏻😁
These domestic flight reports aren’t bad. Heck, there are those of us who like them.
Who knew??
Domestic flight report videos are definitely much easier. Maybe I should do more? 🤔
@@sanspotter How about going to smaller US airports? We keep on seeing the Chicagos….JFK....LAX....How about some of those that are off the dusty trail?
737: *Nothing*
MD-80s and 90S "*Chuckles* I'm in danger"
Pretty much 😂
I’d take MD-80/99/90/717 over a 737 any day. Those 737’s are the most uncomfortable planes on the planet
@@jimmygee3219 who wouldn't?

Simple Aviation, Noel and Paul Lucas are good too
Awesome video like always. I need to fly the MD-80's one last time before their farewell.
I never liked MD- 80s. However the MD-90 looked good with it's RR engines
It is going to be unfortunate to see the Delta MD-88s and MD-90s go!
I wish they would do a *farewell tour* of them like the 747-400!
Anyways nice video man!
Thanks man!
Hey Scott I would love you to make a video on air India its going out of business soon !!!!!
I tried once, but they canceled the flight and I had to take a different one. I’ll definitely try again soon!
1) Yes, I'm still watching.
2) Delta = Biscoff ..... Always ... with coffee. Always.
3) ATL economy class? Cafe Intermezzo. Sitdown full service with flight line views. Concourse B near the TGI fridays. Can cost less than McDonnalds good food, good beer. Did I mention the flight line view? Give yourself an extra hour on your economy layovers.
4) I'm eating a salmon salad sandwich.
Thanks Andrew! I liked all three points except for the last one. Why aren’t you eating a Healthwhich instead? 😁
Gonna miss those JT8Ds. And that buzzing sound you can hear when the PA comes on.
Me too
Same
This was the first plane, I ever went on!
But alot if those md88 will be replaced with the 717 soooooo same but different lol
Two less bins
Mad Dog!!!
Sorry cannot help myself
Two of my favorite things the MD 80 and DELTA
Can you do a review on an American 787 or 777 long haul
I’ve been meaning to. Hopefully soon!
I WILL MISS THE MAD DOGS :( D:
D: D: D: D: D: D: D:
Man I wish I can fly a Delta MD-88 or MD-90 but well, school just has to break the fun apart. Oh well glad to see some of your old footage Scott.
Choice between pretzels and Biscoff cookies? No choice. Always Biscoff.
Many years ago, I was able to fly on the DC-9s of Northwest Airlines before Delta bought them out. Wish I could get on a MD-88 just once before they're gone.
I will flying to Atlanta from DC on an MD-88. I wasn’t too excited flying on a 30-40 yr old aircraft but for historical purposes I guess it’s ok...
I know you mentioned us probably being bored many times in the video, but I felt the complete opposite. Very interesting to watch and nice lil bits of humour every now and then makes your videos very engaging. Thanks SanSpotter, we all love your videos 😁✈️
DL did have the oldest DC-9 flying when they took over Northwest. Still a shit airplane just like the Boeing variant of the 717.
Delta will by flying the MD88 to Providence from Atlanta until October 31, so som routes still give you time. :)
The final flight for the MD-88 is June 2nd from IAH-ATL and the final MD-90 flight is from IAD-ATL on June 2nd
Nice 👍
I work at airport and get to see and hear these bad boys every morning. They are super loud. U can feel the power even when I'm inside.
They're terribly noisy planes. I work near an airport where they are regularly taking off, and they are by far the noisiest planes out there
I've been on a MD-88 from ATL to BUF, and I loved the service shame they are retiring
Awesome review! Safe travels
Thanks so much!
Delta should dump the crj’s. Those planes are ridiculously small.
You: Why are you still watching?
Me: *_It's a MadDog, bro!_*
And the MD-88 will be officially gone in June 2020😭
Mad dogs 4 life. #airlinepilotguy #apg #savethemaddogs
That’s so sad! I loved the Brutal J8TD sound. I hate that they might be gone soon
Emirates would probably use their A380 if they used this route lol
Am I the only person who realise that he is on his way to corona virus land I mean China
nice vid as always
Thanks Jordi!
Your lucky you went on this cause I only go in flying on holiday
At least 717s is not going anywhere anytime.
Boeing completely can't see the forest for the trees. What do I mean? Okay, so Airbus comes out with the A320neo/321neo, the planes with the much larger--and more fuel efficient--turbofan engines. So what does Boeing do? Hey, let's place these buggers under our outdated 737 MAX platform, change the centre of gravity, then augment to whole thing with MCAS, don't tell pilots about the latter, then watch 376 people die for nothing in the process. Hmmm... Because the MD-80/90 series won't work with those larger turbofan engines without their centre of gravity being effected significantly? Furthermore, because the MD-80/90 series is a lot more different than the A220 platform in terms of seat cross section (it's virtually identical)? And the development time and costs are going to be killer for this relatively simple iteration???
Step one: re-engine the MD-90 with LEAP engines. Step two: update interior. Step three: substitute wings and fuselage components with new composite counterpart over time. Result: low risk solution to Airbus A220/320neo/321neo with an added bonus, namely better eye candy for aircraft spotters. What's more, engine noise is relegated to the back of the plane, not under the wings!!
Won't tell you what I think of Boeing management at this point. The 737 needs to tossed in the dust bin of history ALREADY.
Sorry buddy but it's gonna be around for decades to come, the MAX will be a great aircraft! And the safest in the world, once re-certified. Just give it some time, they'll come out with a clean sheet design like a 75-767.
Dang Scott, if you hadn't said the video was from 2018, I would have said you are following me (or me you) around the country - first Hawaii (I was there last month) and now PBI. I just flew into PBI from LAX via ATL a few days ago, lol. I do like PBI also, it's a great airport. ETA: I'm also visiting a relative in West Palm Beach. Maybe she knows your parents? Lol.
Haha I’m not stalking you I promise! 👀😄 And maybe they *do* know each other... 😆
Wait one gosh darn minute you were flying to freaking ATL and you did not inform the mountainbiker who was just recently in Atlanta!!!!!
Scott I'm hurt !!! You could have made a cameo in the Vlog this weekend we took my dad to Topgolf in Atlanta for his birthday I made a whole episode about it check it out when you get some time as usual time to fly baby let me grab my healthwitches
And let's fly
Haha! In my defense, that was well over a year ago. I didn’t even know you existed back then! 😆
To emphasize...please hurry!
Looking forward to your new videos...although cat videos wouldn’t be bad.
Thanks Anita! I’m really surprised about how many people are requesting more cat videos. She may make another appearance soon!
I'm in England and 2 years ago I flew with Delta from London Heathrow to Santiago, Chile via Atlanta, and I have to say I couldn't fault them at all.
Same I’m from England
Singapore Airlines isn't starting SAN service right? Is that just a map of where you going not where you are flying through?
It’s kind of hard to see on the map, but that is SIN-LAX.
fly to omaha sometime please
No overpriced chicken bowls in this series? Surprised
Haha - best comment so far. 😂 I know - this video desperately needed more chicken bowl!! 😄👍🏻
Atl to PWM this August
BLECK---OATMEAL--YUCK!!!! Lol 😂😂😂. But in all honesty, great video man. It’s sad to see the MD-88’s go, but at least we still have the Boeing 717 which is somewhat similar.
I flew a MD-88 today CLE-ATL, first time on one and I will say it was a comfortable and smooth ride! Glad I got to ride one The seats were more comfy than on the 737-800 I took on my next leg
Delta is the best. Flying them OMA-PIH next month. Flew what was probably my last MD-88 flight last year OMA-ATL last year. Love the NOISE! Great video, btw.
I usually get lucky going from GSO to ATL. It’s a popular MD-80 route. Unfortunately I’m sure the 717s and A220s will take over that route soon...
Flew a MD-88 once, from ATL to CLT when I was flying from Charlotte to Spokane and back. Flew to ATL on the way to GEG on a DC-9.
Hoping to be doing a presentation in Miami in September or October and hoping to fly not only the MD-88 out of Des Moines but also the MD-90, 717, A321 and A220 for the first time.
I'm so sad!!!!! I've never gotten a chance to ever fly on an MD-80, and I probably never will because the MD-80 is being retired, and I'm only 14 as of 1/21/20! I will definitely miss the MD-80 when it's gone!😭😭😭
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, I was on a MD-90 when I was 11.
Delta still has 75 MD88/90s in service, you might still have time to catch one (:
@@Jack3md I sure hope so!
It sucked packing bags on this, though. 6 bins. Lol
I’ve definitely heard horror stories about these things in that regard!
Call it a banana if you want to. It will always be a DC-9 to me. Fun fact: TWA'S configuration was 2-3. That cute cat would enjoy a lovely flight with you. First cabin of course...😼
Haha! She would definitely enjoy first class... as long as they served salmon...
@@sanspotter would have "organized" that for H E R !!!!!!! "My Company" had a delectable Salmon AND LOBSTER Service mostly out of LAX
I watch to the end :)
As a tip, Delta still flys these between SYR, AVP, and TYS on select days to ATL. Might be a last chance to catch a flight on one and they're being replaced with 717s and 737s
Cute Kitty!
I flew on a MD-90 from ATL to BWI..... one of the best and smoothest flights ever. Actually we arrived 30 mins ahead of schedule.
Stick with scraping the barrel as you called it as personally I love this aircraft . My wife would also like the aircraft but maybe go for the cat videos lol funny story as I have a day off today from work to take the cat for his 6 monthly check up . She has her own business and leaves this to me as I’m merely a worker for an employee 😊 great work as always my friend 👍🇬🇧
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻 As you can see here in the comment section, there’s been a lot of people asking for cat videos. I’m definitely going to have to do more of that. 😂
SANspotter I am a sucker for cat videos but don’t change the channel to CATspotter and that’s a polite request lol No honestly your channel brings a lot of Happiness to my London home 🏡 cheers sir
I flew on an md88 from Atlanta to Birmingham right before Thanksgiving 2019, 27min flight.
The way you were saying a bunch of nonsense 😂just to have commentary was funny
I always say nonsense. 😄😁
@@sanspotter 😂
Had my first flight on any DC9 related plane was August last year on s ATL - BWI flight with an MD,-88
Were you in seat 31E or 31F? I believe you said both...
Amin Teh there’s no F on the md80
Yeah it was E.
Thank you for another excellent even if delayed video on the MD-88! Cannot wait for the cross Pacific reviews. Stay safe Scott.
You should fly SAS from LAX-CPH
(Los Angles to Copenhagen)
Ps: They fly their a340’s on that route
These workhorses were fantastic but it was time to go.I have flown with Alitalia's MD90 and it was a real pleasure.Great video
Your kitty is so cute. Such big eyes. Where did you find it?
Thanks Zach! We got her from someone up in Sacramento. So hard to find a cat like this!
I was fortunate to fly a MD-88 from Atlanta to Chicago in September en route from Miami. A great flight back in time.
Dude, that lav is awesome. I flew on an Allegiant MD-80 a few years back that had a mirror on all walls of the lav. It was the most surreal thing I’d ever seen. Didn’t catch the registration so I’m not sure who the former owner was ☹️
Biscoff every time!!!!!!
Edit: I genuinely LOL’d very loudly at the seatbelt joke and laugh track around 8:00
Such a silly video - I love your sense of humor, Scott. Yes, I watched all 541 seconds of your video.
Delta is on record saying it's tough to beat the numbers on a paid for MD. Think the 220 maybe the go to replacement for many of them.
China Southern A380 LAX-CAN
Close! China Eastern LAX-PVG.
after seeing PBI’s renovations, i’m so excited to fly on march! i haven’t flown since july and i’m very excited to see what has changed. good trip report, i’d love to see more from you
Some of us/ many of us love airline reviews. Maybe airlines reviews and the way they handle pet travel?
I’m flying on 2 of them in a couple of weeks. I picked the flights purposely.
I watched to the end Scott!!!! humour level up to usual high standards...thanks
That is funny for me I always associate Biscoff’s with American Airlines
great post, go on, I'm just at the beginning
Going on one tomorrow!
Enjoy it! 👍🏻👍🏻
Seven daily flights from Toronto (YYZ) to ATL.
Flying one in April ATL-GRR
I’m surprised that they will still be flying
Love the md-80 probably going down as the best plane ever
Now American has Biscoff cookies by the way.
Reading the video title and i was like now what's wrong with delta.
Superb video SAN Spotter
Thanks!
I have that exact same DVR from scientific Atlanta
Got sick as a dog on an md88 out of dfw . This video made me nauseous.
Sorry to make you relive old memories! 🤢
American Airlines strawberries out of Guatemela...lessons learned
When this jets retire the Md80s and 90s legend will never die Memory Eternal.
Going to miss them, never had any complaints
You can still catch an MD heading out of Savannah to Atlanta! Hate to see them go.
"I'm whiter then white bread and have very delicate skin" - Closing the window shade was worth that quote in my opinion....also now subbing! and R,I,P MD 88/ DC9
At least the MD90/717 are still flying with them but not for long
the MD-90 will be gone soon, but delta stated that the 717 will be with them for at least 2030, so the Dc-9 legacy might live for a little bit more
I want the cat video too
Keep watching...she’s going to make more appearances... 😁
They’re retiring the MD-88s? Damn.
Of course I have to watch this SANSpotter video! What kind of subscriber would I be if I didn't?
You’re the best Tofu! 😄👍🏻👍🏻
I like quirky aircraft best ones to fly on
Kansas City to Atlanta still have MD-88 on Delta
This is actually an amazing review, the MD-88 is such a workhorse and a beauty to fly! I would have never thought of this as boring given our these will be phased out. Pretty rare review!
Thanks so much - glad you enjoyed it!
