- I would have never expected this visit and I definitely would have never expected their takeoffs to go down the way they did. It's been awhile since Ive seen an MD80 locally.
The last time I got to enjoy them was in November 2019 when Delta sent theirs for the last time. A private MD came a few months later but that doesn't really count in my eyes as it happened at night while I was home; although that is the last time that I can recall that an MD came to Nassau. Fast forward to these past few days. We got two unexpected visits from an "airline" that seems quite far from home with a crew that was very antsy to show off what an empty Maddog can do.
If this is the last time I see an MD80 locally, I definitely cant complain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note* They came back a third time (on the 8th) after this video was posted.
*During the 3 times they came, they took off the same way every time, and the climb rate at one point for all 3 takeoffs exceeded at least 7500fpm.

I'm going to try to answer as much FAQs in this pinned comment as possible here because a good portion of viewers are not reading the description, watching the video in full to get all the details before commenting or checking to see if their question isn't already answered in the comments.
1) The plane was empty.
2) The reverser did deploy, just dirty from APU Exhaust.
3) She visited 3 times and took off like this every time.
4) The shots in the video are from her first 2 visits.
5) To the sceptics, Flight Trackers prove that this happened.
6) Climb rates exceeded 8000fpm.

@@flightforensics4523 Actually, I just remembered. Go and look at my recent community post of the playback from that takeoff.
What was the reason for such a steep high angle of attack takeoff. Asking for a friend
@@flightforensics4523 how is it a lie? You can exceed that in a steep climb like that and then level off after a few seconds. There’s a dc-9 at my lock airport that does this as well all the time
@@flightforensics4523 Haven't answered the other guy question, why is it a lie?
I flew the DC-3 at the start of the video. It's "Snoopy". It used to belong to Four Star air cargo in San Juan, PR. Glad to see it still flying.
I saw a video of a DC-3 that was stripped down to all but 2 rivets and completely rebuilt with new skin, updated framework and equipment, and a couple of turboprop engines (on longer mounts to make up for the lack of weight/balance from the old heavy piston engines). Turned out to be a fine back-woods cargo plane for rough airfields. Solid design really.

Very interesting and a very sturdy plane, at what speed does the tail come up?
Thank you for this video! I have proof the MD can do this now! One Monday morning I was on the first Delta flight of the day from Knoxville to Atlanta. A bunch of guys on the plane were talking to each other like they knew one another but took different seats as they boarded down the isle. One set next to me, I was in a right side window seat between the engine and wing. So I asked how they all knew each other. He replied, "We're all Delta pilots that live in the area. I have a place on Watts Bar, we are riding into Atlanta to fly for the week. Take of is going to be fun." He wasn't joking, instead of the normal leasurely stroll out if McGhee Tyson, the pilot licked the brakes, ran the engines and left with a vengeance. No one believes me that an MD series max angle of attack leaves the floorboard four rows in front of you level with your head. It was awesome. Congratulations, you proved my story!! Thank you!
So, my buddy and I were both Delta MD88 first officers at SLT on thru flights. He was a F106 jockey and watched a F15 depart on a Viking departure. Tower said that departure was a vertical climb to 10,000’ with a push over and out to the test area. My buddy requested a Viking departure for his Delta flight. Tower paused…..and he asked for an immediate Viking descent after the departure. Tower cracked up and denied the request!
I used to watch the Allegiant MD-80s taking off out of St. Pete/Clearwater and many times they'd climb out just like this. When you're looking at it, it's kind of shocking because it almost looks like it shouldn't be possible.
I was on a Delta MD from Daytona Beach to Atlanta that had been delayed by weather for about three or four hours one night. By the time we started boarding, it was late in the evening, and most of the other passengers had apparently found other flights or deferred to the next day, as there were only a couple other pax on the plane with me. The cabin crew seated us the front of the plane, and the pilots must have been in a hurry to make it to Atlanta, because as soon as we were boarded we got pushed back.They taxied to the runway like it was a sportscar going around the DIS infield roadcourse, with the landing gear jouncing and skipping over the concrete expansion joints in the turns. Never even slowed down after the turn onto the runway, just firewalled the throttles and seconds later we were airborne and climbing like a rocketship. Boarding delay aside, fastest trip ever to Atlanta!
Some years ago, I was on a Delta MD88 from Monroe, LA to Dallas, back when Delta still flew mainline to Monroe and they still had the Dallas hub. It was only 12 passengers on board. I said to the 1st officer "it's gonna be a steep takeoff, isn't it?" He smiled and said "oh yeah!"
That was the most fun I've ever had on a jet!
As an ex MD80 pilot in the Caribbean. All I can say is. Thank you so much!! Nothing beats the sexy lines of an MD. From the slats, to the horizontal stabilizer. From the shape of the wing, to the free-floating elevators. Super super nice.....
As a Delta Pilot I flew the MD88 in and out of Nassau many times. I love the plane and Nassau. Thanks for a great video. Keep them coming !
Amen to all that. I flew them for Continental until my 60th b'day in 2001 (mandatory age 60 retirement for pilots at that time). They soon after changed the age to 65; but no grandfather clause to the rule, once effective. I loved that plane. Last trip was Houston to San Francisco for a double overnight (one free day there), then back to HOU. Was able to take wife, daughter and son-in-law, my sister all along in 1st class. The company really treated us super. I'm coming up on age 80 in December, and I still now and then get the itch to get out the AFM and run through the checklists for a couple of "arm chair" flights like we used to do when boning up for a check ride.
They are truly beautiful planes, it's awesome you got to fly them, are they that powerful?
@@philipdubois7669 Wow!...cool little story! I loved Continental! I flew on them frequently back in the day, was sorry to see them taken over by UAL.
I've got a birthday coming in December myself.....so early Happy Birthday Philip!
@@philipdubois7669 I completely understand. I was an A&P and Inspector at CAL for 35 years. I truly loved the DC-9/MD-80. Best looking thing since the Connies. Sleek, fast and ultra high performance. On test hops out of HOU they would often stand them on their tails and just GO! When they retired all of the 9s & 80's the fun went out of working there. Then they compounded the misery by hooking up with UAL. Like adding alcohol to a wound.
I cannot describe how much joy I got from watching that takeoff
I can.
Same
In '64 I was privileged to go to the Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, with my parents and my maternal aunt and her fiancé (later my uncle). My aunt had an 'in' with ABC broadcasting in those days and secured the travel for us. At one point as I'm getting settled in my seat (window!) my father leans-in and tells me that the captain had told him that we would be "going upstairs in a hurry" to get above the weather. I'm not yet eight years-old and it's my second flight but somehow I figured out that something cool was going to happen after we took-off. Up we went through the clouds into the sunlight and I'm pressed back in my seat and it feels glorious.
One other standout moment was dinner on that flight which consisted of small, multicolored roasted potatoes, roast beef and multicolored confetti coleslaw. The roast beef, in memory, was so good that it set the standard for what I grew to expect when having roast beef for the rest of my life. There's a restaurant near where we live that serves prime rib au jus that comes very close because it makes me think of that thrilling take-off over fifty-seven years ago. That is remarkable to me.
The MD-80 airspeed then pitch up was off the charts, especially from two angles! Great work!
In college, my roommates father was an MD80 pilot for American and he said he loved the plane as it handled like a sports car. I know understand what he meant. Great video!!!!
That's a former fighter jet pilot flying for sure! 🤣
what i was thinking
I'm thinking more likely a C-130 or C-17 pilot. That's what a tactical departure from one of those looks like . . .
@@ziggystardust4627 I was thinking C-130 for sure. Those planes are so capable of doing that, the LM civilian version actually demonstrated it during its first public flight test.
@@ziggystardust4627 Come on now Ziggy, the way he levels it off for a few seconds before going up the elevator shaft says fighter pilot all over it. Or I suppose it might say I shoulda been a fighter pilot, but either way it's more F than C.
That’s a former airline pilot too if his chief pilot saw this video.
As someone who has sat in some light Mad Dogs, I have felt similar experiences. She can do it with no effort. Kudos! And two Douglas immortals in one video, no less - the Grand Old Lady makes a cameo. Hi Snoopy!
What an incredible capture! That filming deserved all the time we spend next to runways! Impressive low pass take off man! I miss a lot the sound of the MD80’s around too. Thanks for sharing Cameron💪🏻!!
Wow, I was half expecting him to do a roll as he pulled up, NICE CATCH!! Love the ‘80’s!
He probably rolled out after inversion.
That MD-80 takeoff is airshow worthy!👍😄
Wow!!!!!! What a take off! I was literally whooping and hollering with applause! Salute the videographer and salute to that amazing flight crew.
Nice take off. Was flying out of El Paso in a new 737 with 12 other passengers the pilot came over the intercom and told us to open the magazine to a certain page it had a headshot of some guy and he said to hold it up in the other windows to make it look like we had more people on board we all laughed then he said he got permission to do a maximum takeoff and we went up so fast and high it was the first time I'd seen an aircraft takeoff and the airport was still under us. Quickest flight to Houston ever. I like these MD-80 have always had a good experience flying in them. And the bonus of the DC-3 is just icing on the cake. Thanks for posting.
Best flight I ever had was in the front of an MD-80. Worst flight I ever had was in the back of an MD-80. Lol
Thank you for the post; I spent 10 years working for MD as an airframe mechanic...miss those days.
It’s like if they knew it was a special occasion and did the badass takeoff for it
Rob Evert was on board lol.
Woo-Hoo!! I love the Mad Dog, especially that sound of 2 big 'ol JT8-D's going full blast. Thanks for another great video my friend.
Glad you enjoyed it
SWEET!! THANKS SOOO MUCH!!!! I worked for ALLEGHENY AIRLINES in 1971 and the Second plane I learned to park, was a brand new DC9-30..The first one?...CV580!..in 1971...LOVED 34 years with them!!!
Saw that video on thedrive's website, jumped here to give it a like and a comment. Gotta help the algorithm to put that video on top, plus the quality of the shots are amazing
Thanks for that!
Hey @@cameronmd80 , Same here; read about your post & channel in thedrive's website. Great shot! Right place, right time; lucky you! I was wondering if the plane had any cargo & the climb seemed as though they could have stalled. Would've been fun to hear the conversation between the captain & co-pilot Stay safe. v
YES! What an awesome catch Cameron! As a pilot friend of mine says, “he climbed like a homesick Angel”! Truly awesome Cameron! Have an awesome weekend also! Mark in Iowa USA.
Homesick Angel! That’s so awesome! 👼🏻
Ha. your friend saw the movie "The McConnell Story" too huh? J/K That's where I first heard that. That was an impressive takeoff. Beautiful !!
@@BevoHoward They all made Viking departures in the day.
MD83, a fine aircraft. Great bird to fly.
Loved building those MD-80’s in my youth in Long Beach. There is a special place in my heart for all the Mad dogs. Alas time moves on.
you did a fine job on my favorite aircraft in the world I flew on Delta MD 88s for years before they retired
Great example of trading airspeed for altitude. Had fun doing this in a Cessna, can only imagine in a jet.... Amazing footage, thank you.
I call it the Mad Dog erection.
I always loved watching mad dogs lift off and climb out. With gear up, the just look so sleek and fast. But the noise! Those puppies are loud! I used to watch the yellow bananas take off when I was a kid.
Gawd I love watching those "Calm shell" thrust reversers deploy!
We operate an MD83, N83GF. Super video!!! The angles, quality, all AWESOME!!! Keep the MD alive!
Thanks a lot. And would sure be nice seeing Judah around here sometime 😬
@@cameronmd80 Hopefully we will be bringing it down doing some medical missions soon. Keep up the great video work!! You are a great videographer!!
I subscribed because of your channel name- I love the DC9/MD80/MD90/B717 series of aircraft. I flew from Little Rock, AR to Baltimore, MD in the early 90s on a Northwest Airlines DC-9-14 that was manufactured in the late 1960s. The round air conditioner vents above the seats were made from metal instead of plastic and the cockpit had the original gauge layout. I've also gotten to fly on TWA's DC-9s and their service was excellent. In coach, I had drink service, a real meal service, and the flight attendant handed out magazines, hot towels and coffee afterwards. I've also flown on L1011 (Delta first class to Hawaii), B717, B727, B737, B757 and B767 and ATR-72 but my favorite will always be the DC-9/MD-80 series. Thank you for the great videos and keep up the good work! ❤️✌️🙏
Doing that to avoid the RPG's
That's how we did our takeoffs in Afghanistan. I wouldn't be surprised if the pilot flying flew C-130 missions in Afghanistan.
I’m sorry what?
That's an MD80 wanting to be an F-18 on departure, then the DC-3 as well , you can't beat that !
I watched MD 80 - 88's take off to the north at DCA (gravely point) back in the day and those planes used almost all the runway. They needed a lot of speed due to the hard banking turn after departure. I always made sure I booked an md 88 coming and going out of DCA. Landing down the river was just as fun. They made fighter pilot approaches as they turned over the river to avoid restricted air space. I believe they called those carrier landings.
Damn I miss these MD-80's :( they were so nice to fly on and looked great. But wow, that thing took of like a rocket!
All of them were like that.
That take off? At least a 20 on a 1-10 ‘Coolness’ Scale! Breathtaking! Oh, to have been on the flight deck for that! 🙌🏻
The back row was sick.
Awesome!! Love the sound of the MD engine. Watched it several times!! Thank you for posting the video.
I did not know the 80 could climb that steep! I remember the 1st time I flew on an 80. It was in the mid 1980s. My family was going on vacation. It was the most exciting & awesome sounding thing I ever heard or felt as a 15 yo. I loved it.
Didn’t know that those planes had that in them, I’m impressed. Nice catch
If you want to take Boeing down, build a replica of the Mad Dawg. They'll sell them faster than you can buy them in just a few more years.
Wow, I was a flight attendant for 39+ years, the MD88 being a favorite. I've never seen such extreme take-off. Looks like fun.😊
Seen this video over and over, still impressed.❤
Ah truly a jewl of the sky! Miss flying to Atlanta on these and seeing them! Amazing video!
That was an awesome capture of footage. That must be a true “bush pilot “ in the cockpit!
What I wouldn’t do to be on that aircraft- looks like an awesome thrill ride!
Got lucky a few years back when they had a mass retirement of MD80's to my airport (KROW)... one of the pilots decided he "needed" to a go-around... punched it full throttle and banked it hard left right above where I was fueling another plane. Was awesome! Loud and smoky, old school classic bird. Now the AA MD80's all sit here. Waiting to be scrapped.
Many moons ago, I worked for the mighty Eastern Airlines in Miami. I was fortunate enough to go on test flight of a DC 9-30. The crew did max performance EVERYTHING! (Even a few stalls) I'll never forget it! Great captures. Sub'd.
The power of the MD80
Yes,the MD80s are known for their quick n steep climbs. Its a pity those aircraft models were discontinued. Great flying skills of the flight crew,but its a great airplane. Great photo shoot,rare sight. Keep it up.💯👍👍
Nailed it on exactly the 1:00 mark! Wowwww! We most certainly need more MD cargo planes! These workhorses have no business being parked up at all! The spooling at exactly 4:00 onward just blows me away! 4:44 - yes sir! I’m done for! What a take off at 5:15 to 5:27! OMGGGGGGG. And that rocket climb!!!!
I really think they did this for you!
Love, love, LOVE!!!
That’s aerial show-boating at its best! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yet all of them who could get away with it, took them straight into the atmosphere.
Whoooooaaa!!! That’s spectacular., thundering engines and an unrestricted take off
LET’S GOOOOO!!!!
Man, never would have looked at that plane and thought it could do that.
Used work as a Mech on the MD80 20 years ago. A real mech's plane, over powered and built to take it. As an instructer of mine said years ago, they were fly by wire, some the wires were 1/16" thick, others were 1/2" thick. None of that power assisted steering stuff that modern jets have!
Also none of that thick visible smoke and loud engines old planes have! Cool to see this vid, but glad we are taking into consideration others and the environment!
I still have nightmares about changing and rigging the slats on its predecessor, the DC-9.
@@Part_121 Never did DC9 slat cables myself, MD80 was bad enough. But the guys who had done them used tell me about the 2 separate drums for the cables abd the tolerances between LH and RH. Gears were handy though.
INCREDIBLE Capture and viewing angles! I don’t know too much about the MD80 but that fighter jet like take off and absolutely ridiculous climbing angle was better than coffee!
Salute to the Pilot!
Looks like could have been a former fighter pilot - when they pushed the nose over after liftoff to get the gear up then accelerate. Loved it!
Almost level flight to the end of the runway before rocketing up. Definitely someone who misses a high thrust to weight ratio.
Noticed that she got Smokey at the push over , unload and extend, in fighter vernacular. Thank you for this video, my dad would have loved it he worked for Douglas at long beach airport many years got tears in my eyes just remembering.
That's effing bad ass! Hands the coolest things I've seen today, wicked!
Look at those old JT8D's just Rollin the coal!!
Wow! This was really an epic catch! Great job... With getting it from addition vantage point too.
Fabulous climb! I've only flown in an MD-80 once and it certainly did not do anything like this. Mostly I remember the awful noise in the back of the cabin. Crew allowed me to move up (there were free seats in the middle). That was a blessing.
Incredible video!! Loved the DC-3, what a sight to see in 2021!! Also, a very interesting take off of that MD! Really nice work mate!
Md 80s were the best when sitting in front especially when leaving las Vegas. The acceleration the turning was fantastic
An awesome catch! Would you be okay with me featuring the climb in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.
I respectfully decline for this video.
By dam sam...thats one hell of a climb!!! I love them and the erj 145 for this!!
That was insane! Amazing footage!!
MadDog🤩
Nicely captured 👌
wow! thats was cool. iv'e never seen that kind of takeoff before. Thanks for sharing.
Just love the black smoke. Great video, many thanks.
MD-80 got off the ground, cleaned up, stayed in ground effect, and used that to pull this off. At ERAU they called this a "shuttle launch". Take off, punch the WOT while staying in ground effect, till you had to had to push on the yoke to stay down. Then pull back on the yoke. You nearly went nose vertical in a 172 for like 1500'.
well....; pilot school...... (?)........ // stay within ground effect ? : = 1/2 of the wingspan above rwy...... / the crew leveled-off higher than that // So they did sacrify some of the max performance
@@danizweifler6061 Yeah ground effect is usually talked about for landing as it can spoil a greaser and/or complicate a runway limited landing if you float it too long cause of ground effect. There is zero sense to talk about it once airborne tough. The "ground effect" when accelerating way past V2 above the runway becomes a negligible effect compared to the normal lift provided at this moment.
@@12345fowler // facts please....... // "Dorsk84" was not accurate by describing what the pilot did....// And I did simply remind him of that.... // no more no less.....
@@danizweifler6061 Oh yeah I was just adding to what you said. Your comment came a bit as cryptic if you ask me. So it was not against you.
Just checked her departure on Flightradar and her initial climb rate was just over 5,000fpm but maxed out at a bit over 8,000fpm at 170kts although obviously only for a short time! What a performer!
That's a great app to have!!
Oh wow! Absolutely amazing footage🤩 the MD80 is one of those I miss the most…
Absolutely gorgeous
I think they always had the best rate of climb of any airliner, bar none...used to watch in amazement in MIA as they would somehow rise above the obvious linear projection, looking from the side.
Awesome clip, thanks for posting 👌👍
Great video and catch! Im glad to see MD-80s getting more life as freighters. I was wondering when that was going to happen. I remember when the DC-9s were converted to freighters it was only fitting that the MD-80s would follow. Nice to see that big door open...,
you can see the way he did that ‘ROCKET - CLIMB’ right there; he got off the ground first, pulled up his wheels (reducing drag) than leveled out to be able to accelerate easier; bring it up to about 250 knots and full throttle turning the nose upwards (AS FAR AS IT WILL GO)
Two generations of classic.
Amazing shots! Can’t beat landing videos, especially that MD80. A bit firm, no trouble, nothing to see here! It got there. Then the take off. Oh my word! It was like watching the Space Shuttle!
Looks like a movie!! Very lovely footage !
I only flew on an MD-80 once, but their rate of ascent was impressive! Definitely put you back in your seat!
Truly like being inside the space capsule.
Great capture!!!!
Miss the American Airlines "Mad Dogs" rocket out of DFW!
Absolutely badass videos! Thanks for sharing.
Low fly by and the climbing win win
Very good Job with out trípode. I always was impresssed with the way the MD tales off, but this video is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome seeing my local airline way out of its element lol I watch that exact aircraft take off and land every other day. They also operate C-46’s and DC-6’s. Awesome to see.
What a spectacular catch! really nice work.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like we are dealing with a retired fighter pilot here folks 😏
You think? Agreed. v
I flew in an MD-80, out of New Bern NC, to Charlotte. I swear our take off profile was the exact same! The only commercial flight Ive been on where you can actually physically feel the trust changes, during the flight!
I thought it was heavy and couldn't climb too much, but then it went Space Shuttle Status! Cool vid!
Would have liked to have been in the right seat for that climb out !! Great video 👍
I took off on an Allegiant airlines flight from St. Pete in an MD80 as a passenger a few years ago. The plane was avoiding thunderstorms near the airport, and although the plane was nearly full, I've never experienced the maneuvers that pilot made skirting those storms in any other airliner. I love the MD80/DC-9/717 aircraft and hate to see them retire.
That was extremely deliberate..just showing off for the cameras..lol. That was impressive though..didn't know MD-80s were fighter jets in their spare time :)
p.s. You have a multi-camera setup now? pretty sweet man. I saw 3 different camera angles
lol, Say Multi Camera. No, remember that she visited twice. The first time was when I caught the takeoff from the threshold. When she initially held short, I noticed that there was a plane on final that she was waiting on. And because a lot of container trucks were passing, I decided to change vantage points before she took off so the shot wouldnt be ruined. Day 2 was when I caught the landing and went on the side of the airport for the takeoff.

Great job there Cameron!Brilliant take off,and what a blast down the runway.Saw an RAF VC10 do a take off like this a few years ago at Cambridge airport UK.Love the old Mad Dogs.Hope they will be flying for a few more years yet❤😎👍!I'm
WHAT A BEAST! YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT TO PRACTICE CLEARING THAT 2,000 FOOT OBSTACLE AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY.
What a treat to see this. I used to fly inter-island in Hawaii years ago on Hawaiian Airlines. Their MDs really had a steep climb rate and always took my breath away. Doubt it was this steep but I always noticed the diff in it and any other craft like 737 on Aloha Airlines.
Beautiful videography!😍 That MD-80!😍 Thank you!
Great video.
Thanks for posting.
very nice , well flown , thanks for charing
*Nice video, glad it was not a click bait. I love these planes!*
I think he knew you were there. 😊 Great video
That DC 3 seems happiest when she's in the air.
Thanks for capturing this. Also thanks for a good description.
That plane was empty for sure. Maybe a ferry flight. Great video !
Uffffffff awesome climb of the McDonell Douglas!!! 🛩💪🏻🤩
Bloody hell, that's amazing flying and an awesome video. Thank you!
