Modern jets sound like commercial vacuum cleaners while taxiing... Never got to see either on a runway but based on TH-cam, the 707 & DC-8s sounded different taxiing and on takeoff?
I always liked the DC-8 on long haul flights - the air vents were right on the seat back of the seat in front and could be directed right at the face. The DC-8 was the best plane to fall asleep on.
I remember when the DC8 was the queen of the sky and the sound of a Viscount climbing out of Toronto. Love this airplane. If I could fly anything, I would want to take a Convair 580 out for a rip. But a DC8 would be a close 2nd.
the last survivor , i believe with those engines , i hope it remains active even if its is no longer operational as a freighter , 707 TRUE veteran in every sense of the word , supreme beauty !
I flew on Braniff DC-8 super 62s from Miami to Santiago Chile as a kid in the 1970s. As we took off out of Santiago at night, we were heavy it was pitch black outside...we rolled what seemed using up almost all of the runway then lift off. There are hills and mountains around the airport so we climbed steeply then suddenly made a sharp bank going left. I was sitting over the starboard wing ( right side) over the flaps. It was still pitch black outside and our cabin lights were dim but as we banked my side of the wing went up considerably. I this position, I felt the wing flexing up and down and that movement caused the wall of the fuselage at my window to move back and forth. Yes the wall was moving along with the motion of the wing during a steep bank and climb. I was not worried but I was delighted because I thought there are powerful air currents and my DC-8 super 62 is designed to move and flex with the wind. The Braniff pilots knew exactly what they were doing and even though I couldn't see a thing outside, the pilots had advanced instruments that helped them understand where the mountains were so that they could avoid them. It was understood that Braniff pilots were the best in the business. When we landed at the Lima Peru airport for a 45 minute stop, I asked the captain why he made such a sharp and steep climb out of Santiago airport and why the wall next to me was moving just at that moment? He said, they do that maneuver often when they take off in that direction in order to point the nose in the way of Peru immediately and they fly away from the mountains. the be reason why the wing was flexing so much is because there are constant air currents that rush off the sides of the mountains and cause turbulence. I felt the wall move because that is where the wing is connected to the fuselage ( body of the airplane) He said at no time we're we in trouble. Douglas knew what they were doing when they built the DC-8. He took the time to walk outside with me to show me the exterior of the DC-8 ,I could look up and see the window where I was sitting. He showed me that the wing is about 68 feet long and at the part where it connects with the fuselage, it is very re enforced it will absorb high stress caused by turbulence but it will never break. Some passengers may become afraid to feel the sides of the airplane moving. I was 13 but I felt like and adult by saying, of course, I was not afraid. As I looked at the DC-8 super 62 now lit up by the Peruvian airport's night lights, I noticed that it was painted in the medium blue and light blue two tone color scheme!!
thank you very much for taking your time and writing this awesome experience and sharing it on my channel , this made my day , kindest regards from Ostend , Belgium
On another occasion in the mid 1970s, I was a kid but I remember very well. My dad and I were going to fly non stop from Miami to Santiago Chile on a Braniff DC-8 super 62. It was a late night departure. Braniff shared concourse d on one side and Eastern airlines on the other. the building was only 2 stories high and the jetliners would pull up with their noses very close to the observation window. We had to arrive at least 3 hours early for an international flight so once we were checked in we had nothing to do but wait until they announced that the flight was ready for boarding. Most of the adults were reading or talking but I was board hanging around them There was too much going on outside the observation window. It seems that late night after 10pm was when Braniff jetliners were scheduled to come and go so our concourse was busy. Suddenly some white lights were moving in our direction and they were getting brighter and brighter then I saw Braniff ramp workers using bright red light sticks as they directed the by now very bright white lights with rotating red lights and wing tip red and green lights...then as the large came closer into view, the fixed flood lights on the top of our concourse building illuminated the large jetliner. It was indeed our airplane painted in the beautiful mid 1970's Braniff international two tone ( orange and ochre) color scheme. You could hear the jet engines as it was now moving ever so slowly under it's own power and carefully maneuvering it's way towards the boarding gate and gracefully following a painted line on the ground. The ramp agent was waving the two bright red light batons over his head and slowly brought them together and at the moment they touched, the huge airliner stopped in perfect precision to the command of the ramp agent. At that precise moment, the engines were shut down as you could clearly hear them whining down and the bright white lights were immediately turned off. Another ramp agent opened up a panel near the front landing gear connected the ground power cable for the cabin lights and other components. Another ramp agent connected an air hose underneath the nose for the ground air-conditioning. It was starting to get very interesting because the DC,-8 at night was something very special to see. It's very large windows let you see people moving around inside as the mechanical walk way was connected to the jetliner's front door. The nose was so close to the window that I moved to look at a front view of the DC-8. What an amazing looking airplane. I was at the height of the pilots in the cockpit. The cockpit was dark and had thousands of little lights on it's walls and ceiling. Then I studied the front and especially the nose of the DC-8. I thought to myself, the Douglas designers must have been inspired by a dolphin. I was so nice to look at, it gave the impression of being a giant living thing with large air intakes under the nose to breathe. The Braniff international airlines two tone colors scheme divided the body of the aircraft ( fuselage) by painting a darker color on the top half and a lighter color on the bottom half divided by a thin white pin stripe. Looking at the front view of the DC-8 with that particular color scheme ( orange and ochre) immediately uploaded my spirits. I was convinced that this was one of the most interesting color schemes for the DC-8 hands down and I was going to get to fly on this majestic ship for 9 hours....wow!!! Everything was of great interest to me from the way the ramp agents loaded the luggage to the fuel trucks filling up the ship underneath the wings. As all of this was going on, I noticed lightning far away on the horizon. I overheard the pilot tell the Braniff passenger agent to make an announcement to start boarding immediately because they wanted to take off before a thunderstorm reaches the airport. They didn't waste a second getting everyone seated including me and my dad. I had the window seat on the port side ( right side) overlooking the engines. I looked around, every seat was taken what must have been around 189 seats. The stewardess prepared the cabin for take off while the pilots get the engines started I was looking out of the window and it was obvious that the thunder storm had grown bigger and was headed our way. It seemed like the pilots were trying to get us airborne before the thunder storm arrived. In no time, we were on the taxiway moving very fast as the blue taxiway rushed passed us. Suddenly, drops of water were hitting our window. Then we turned onto the runway was about to give it full power when the drops of water turned into a torrential downpour. The pilots were trying to outrun mother nature but mother nature won. The heavy thunder storm and heavy rain changed the entire dynamics of our flight. We were assigned the Miami airport diagonal runway that would take us over an industrial area full of warehouses and then over the everglades so our pilots would not have to abide bye noise abatement. Our takeoff instead, was aborted and now we were taxing back to our boarding gate. The caption come onto the loud speaker and told us that we have a full cabin of passengers and the fuel were filled to maximum capacity. Under normal conditions, we could easily take off however, because of the heavy rain, we must now reduce our weight. We made it back to the gate and offloaded fuel, it took about 45 minutes. I was told that Braniff fuels up as much as possible before going to South America because fuel is much more expensive in South America. The DC-8 super 62 has more than enough fuel for the nonstop 9 hour flight so offloading fuel was going to make us lighter but we still would have enough fuel for the long range flight. The 45 minute wait at the gate was too short of f a time period for anyone to deplane instead we were asked to wait in our seats. Then the wait was over, the engines were started, we were pushed back and soon we were taxing but to the runway over wet ground and puddles of water. Then without hesitation, the huge jetliner turned from the taxiway on to the active runway and the breakers were applied as the pilots gave full power. The entire airplane vibrated as the four engines spooled up. Suddenly, the breakers were released and a jolt was felt by the rapid acceleration. We were still considered to be very heavy as we rolled faster and faster. It seemed that the pilots were purposely trying to take advantage of as much runway as possible in order to not waste precious fuel. Then, the nose pointed up to the sky and we climbed at a conservative rate. The DC-8 has an exterior light above the window when I was sitting which sent a beam of light right over the engines and another high powered flood light under the wing between the engines so I could see the engines very well. There were still rain clouds over the everglades and by now we were at about 3 thousand feet high. As we penetrated rain clouds, the powerful flood lights above the exterior side of my window and the flood light under the wing reflected on the rain clouds that we were penetrating and for that moment the surrounding area around our engines and wing became illuminated making it seemed like daylight. Soon we broke through the rain clouds and the night sky above the everglades was full of stars. We soon climbed to 40 thousand feet and were well on our way to our destination. The cabin lights were dimmed as the stresses handed out blankets and pillows . Off into the night we went........ Then

Just like today's motorcycles don't sound nearly as cool as the vintage 2-strokes, today's jets don't sound as cool as the vintage DC-8's, Boeing 707's, etc.!
If only it had a hush-kit, then it probably wouldn’t have overwhelmed the camera. But that was still a much more pleasant sound to listen to than modern jet engines which are essentially mild earrape if you stand behind them. I’d rather listen to something that sounds like a rocket and not something that sounds like a cross between a hairdryer and the XF-84. Does anyone agree?
THANKS for this comment , Chris , nice to remember the Thunderscreech 😅 , i concur , no nausea and headaches , just the best symphonic sound , JT3D , boring sound of current jetliners , no charm nor character , not my kind of stuff 😊

Those early jet engines had that distinct sound.. When ever hear those engines ,, it reminds me of those old 1960s movies 😊
These DC-8's and B707 with the JT-3D engines are a big chunk of civil airliners history and what a musicality!
That sweet sound of the high pitched whine..... Beautiful!!!!!!
That is what jets should sound like. Todays stuff sounds weird. 707,DC-8, 880s & 990s are all cool airliners. Great video.
I love it I always wandered what made them sound like that
Loud and smokey.
Modern jets sound like commercial vacuum cleaners while taxiing...
Never got to see either on a runway but based on TH-cam, the 707 & DC-8s sounded different taxiing and on takeoff?
I agree!
Why exactly should a jet sound like this? Modern jet engines are drastically better in every single metric.
I always liked the DC-8 on long haul flights - the air vents were right on the seat back of the seat in front and could be directed right at the face. The DC-8 was the best plane to fall asleep on.
Amazing footage of the most amazing bird. DC 8-62s the prettiest of them all!👍
I remember when the DC8 was the queen of the sky and the sound of a Viscount climbing out of Toronto. Love this airplane. If I could fly anything, I would want to take a Convair 580 out for a rip. But a DC8 would be a close 2nd.
The JT-3D engines sound really cool! They sound more real.
DC-8, the airliner of my childhood ❤
初めて旅客機に乗ったのが千歳行きのDC−8でした、お土産に727のスナップキットを貰ったのが忘れられへん…
A very beautiful aircraft on sight
Omega Tanker has Boeing 707s with JT3D engines . They regularly fly out of nearby March ARB in Riverside, CA
the last survivor , i believe with those engines , i hope it remains active even if its is no longer operational as a freighter , 707 TRUE veteran in every sense of the word , supreme beauty !
The Omega Tanker DC-10-40 is an aerial tanker airplane. Omega has two ex Singapore Air Force KC 135s as well.
@@747heavyboeing3 , thanks , i knew of only one 707 , hope springs eternal ?
Great job capturing that landing...the sight and sound is incredible
Love these older planes. Very reliable
built to last , unlike today
I miss the howling sound from the engines of some of the DC-8's when starting up...
this guy knew what to record! Great job!
Music to my ears thank you!
Amazing footage! Love it! ✈❤
