I flew from st Louis to Dallas then to Lubbock. I'm 2 hours from St. Louis so there is that. Then you have to be at the airport 2 hours in advance. Then comes a 2 hour delay, we finally get to Dallas about a 1 1/2 hour flight. Then 3 hour layover, then 2 hour delay, finally take off heading to Lubbock a 45 minute flight. Then a 2 hour drive to my destination from there. Took me approximately 15 hours of travel flying, I could have drove to Muleshoe in 16. F- flying!
My first DC9 flight was on PSA from LAS-SAN-SMF in December of 1987. My first 717 was on Hawaiian HNL-OGG, & bsck later that day in the Fall of 2011. Always love watching videos like this from time to time when I can't fly for whatever reason.
What a beautiful video. Great arial view of O'Hare and the sunset. But am I weird? The dramatic hum of those fans at take off are oddly reassuring for me. Thanks for sharing the video.
Pause and reflect at 7:40.... As filmer zooms in, notice the remaining portion of runway 32R Again at 8:17 or thereabouts. Shortly after this point, north of 32R, East Touhy Ave becomes visible from under the wing. You might be able to just make out a trailer park on the right hand side of the Avenue, across from the O'Hare property. Say a prayer for those who perished in that location, aboard departing American Airlines flight 191 in 1979, and for their relatives and friends.
My dad and I drove out to Rockford the very next morning. There was no more smoke but I could see the cluster of trees that shielded the crash site. It was an eerie feeling I still remember---and it's going on 45 years now. If you delve into what caused the engine to detach in the first place, you'll really get angry. Entirely preventable crash.
What the hell is going on at Boeing and with aircraft maintenance that so many mishaps are occurring since the two Maxes were lost ? Ralph Nader's niece died aboard one of them. It's damaging the brand with an image of inattention to quality control and will eventually affect passenger confidence.
@Zickcermacity-I remember that Friday Avenue about 3:00pm and saw the smoke from our living room. I thought it was the tank farm that fueled the airport at first. I then remember all surrounding communities and resources heading there. For the longest time, I couldn’t drive Touhy past that field.
A Boeing 717??? Never heard of it. Must be an old aircraft. I know of Boeing 727s with three engines mounted at the rear of the aircraft, but those are old. The only more modern ones I'm aware of from Boeing are the 737, 757, 767, 777 and 787s. I think the 737, 777 and 787 are the most common ones currently in service. I'm not sure if the four engine 747s are still manufactured or even in service.
@@michaelchan8915 McDonnel Douglas produced the DC-9 / MD80 aircraft. Eventually they built the MD95 and after their merger with Boeing that model became the 717. It's a twin engined aircraft that can carry upto 134 passengers depending on the seating configuration. It's designed for medium haul routes and has a range of roughly 2000 miles.
@@localbod thank you for the informative education!!! That answers my question about what happened to McDonnell Douglas. I had noticed their absence but never knew they merged with Boeing. At a seating capacity of 134 and a range of 2000 miles, I guess that makes it a relatively small air in comparison to the other models of aircraft from Boeing previously mentioned above.
Back in the day when you could board a Boeing and not worry about a tire coming off, a door opening in flight, pieces fallaing off the plane, and a flight crew that were onboard based on their skills and not DEI. Today, "We don't gaurantee your flight will meet it's destination but we do have a minoity pilet, a trans flight crew member, and the most diverser maintenance team in the industry. Preparing for take off. Let us all pray."
You must be one of those fragile white male losers who have never accomplished anything in life and are looking for someone to blame for your own abysmal existence. Let’s see 99.9% of all fatal crashes that have happened in these United States were piloted by white men. I guess you somehow think just because someone has white skin that makes them competent. It doesn’t. Get used to seeing more highly skilled black, brown and Asian folks in the cockpits. We ain’t going nowhere. But you’re welcome to get off. Nobody will miss you.
The runways were reconfigured for reasons involving better ground efficiency, optimal wind direction and/or more options to redistribute air traffic so one or two residential areas aren't constantly besieged by overhead jet noise. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but these seem logical and what I vaguely recall from local news reports. It's been a while since the runway redo.
A 717 is a re-badged DC-9 ... a real hot rod. I loved flying those until they started dropping like flies because of the bad connecting rod design of the tail controls. Denzel Washington's movie Flight is all about why you don't want to fly a DC-9/717.
Haha not hardly! That movie is based on the Alaska MD-80 that went down because the jack screw broke because of faulty maintenance. The 717 is very safe to fly.
It certainly would have needed much more runway than usual to get the required amount of lift,that's why flaps 15 are normally set because in that configuration it allows most lift and minimum drag and the plane needs less runway to reach take off speed.
Back in the day, much of the current O'Hare Airport land was full of orchards (no airport) and wasn't in the city limits. When the airport was first built, the city of Chicago eventually snatched up the land and the airport. In time Orchard Field (ORD) became O'Hare Airport.
@vvvxt car crashes are usually survivable because of all the safety features that deploy during a crash. There are no such features in a plane. So even if you miraculously survive a plane crash you won't survive all the non supporting blunt force trauma to your entire body, and then there's the fire! Cars are much more survivable
Welcome to O'Hare, where we drive you halfway to your destination...
Welcome to Ohare! Where a bus tour of Chicago is included before your flight! 🌆
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is so true you can take a nap just getting to the terminal
No kidding! Alo g with Atlanta, JFK and some others I been to. Tel Aviv and Cairo wasn't bad at all!

I hope these 717's keep flying for many years to come. I've flown in many Dc9's and Md80's, Love to see these still flying. What a workhorse.
It had all day to warmup
Tyler Mac me too
True, keep em flying !
The 717 is one of my favorite aircraft of all time! The engine sound is amazing!
That is an enourmas airport. Excellent vid of the airport.

Wow, classic Delta 717 take off out of O'Hare, great views in video clip

Tyler Mac and you said we are going too Chicago too live
I think any jet engine sound while on a plane is “reassuring” it’s when you don’t hear that sound is when it’s time to worry lol

I lived in Arlington Heights at the time of the crash and we saw the smoke plume beginning to rise. Extremely unsettling.

@@msr1116 I now consider the 737(Max and other variants) to be more dangerous to the flying public than any DC-10!

Perfect takeoff, text-book perfection.
I tip my hat to this Captain, ❤
Omg, the taxiway to the run way, reminds me of Den or Dallas, seems like ur going 3/4 miles b4 ur number ONE for takeoff!!!
Tyler Mac yeah
I don’t think I knew about this kind of lovely jet until now💞☮️✈️
Tyler Mac how About this one
those engines are blaring bro. Nice video! Subscribed!
Thanks for watching!!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
What the f*ck. That thing ripped off without a care in the world. What an amazing departure. I swear those 717s were always over powered. Great video!
I HATE YOU
Tyler Mac I see that man
I really hope to have the chance to fly the 717 one more time. Last flight is already 10 years ago.
Delta pilots are amazing !
Tyler Mac yes I like them too
The old, tangled O'Hare runway setup still boggles my mind to this day.
Tyler Mac it was in 1978
RR engines always have a wonderful growl. BR715 iirc.
Tyler Mac it’s the engine
Buzz saw! love the sound
Me too!!
I didn’t realize until I listened on headphones, but engine 2 isn’t started until 0:58 when you can hear the low bass at startup.
Same here! With my headphones you could hear the bass when it starts.
You can usually expect to do a lot of taxiing at O'Hare. Just like in this video.
Yes you can!
The airport is 11.25 sq miles or 4.8 million sq ft. That is one huge piece of real estate.
What year is this?! Delta's still flyin' a 717 in 2024?! Awesome, and ancient! Great post!! 😁✈️🛩️
Yes they are! This was just last week!

It's the md 95
Very nice... I wish I could still travel like in the 90 s....Now everything is so expensive!! 😮
it was expensive back then too, lmfao only the richer traveled.
The whistle fan blades and the vibration pointer while on full throttle engines almost sounded like the 737!
Why does it sound similar to the 737? Engine type?
He forgot to lower the flaps for takeoff..
Yes,I noticed that flaps weren't set for take off normally for take off flaps 15 are set.
He did not because the aircraft is not going the same velocity. Plus my Delta 717 had no flaps deployed.
Worked didn't it.
They probably didn’t deploy flaps because they had more than enough runway, and wanted to climb out faster.
Tyler Mac what about higher
Beautiful overview of O’Hare. Better than my video
Glad you liked it!

0:21 Bless you
Nice! I didn’t even catch that!!
Nice capture
Awesome video! What did you use to film the take off? It's very smooth and clear 👏
Just my iPhone 13!
La potencia de esos motores impresionantes como suenan
Nice sound
This is a much older plane..I noticed the wing tips are flat..not like the newer ones bent upward
Ya gotta wonder what year this was taken
March 5th 2024!
I’m no pilot but couldn’t help but notice no flaps down on takeoff?
Ohare airport should be its own City
Sounds like a321 iae
Set climb power at 7:21
Id have freaked out thinking those flaps arent down enough
Hey I saw my old workplace on Touhy
How exciting. A plane taking off. WOW !
Well, apparently 52k other viewers think so too!
The best most acelerating part of flight 🙂
Set climb power 7:22
For a quiet flight sit in the front.
Ya but for an av geek, that takes the fun out of it!
I gotta hear the engines and the landing gear come up in that one lol
@@cojoausaviation9862right!!
When the landing gear retracts it sounds like their gonna come right up through the floorboards haha
Taxiing on one engine?
I don’t know!
You only lower flaps to 3% on take off.
Yikes, did you choose that seat or piss off the gate agent?😂
Hahaha yes, I chose this seat for this very reason!!
Weird. Looks like a no flaps take off. And then the left aileron deflected downward for a left hand turn.
Which runway use by american airline before its crash.
32R. Decommed and refigured field. The 14/32’s are no more. They were angled to fly over the NW suburbs.
The runways were reconfigured for reasons involving better ground efficiency, optimal wind direction and/or more options to redistribute air traffic so one or two residential areas aren't constantly besieged by overhead jet noise. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but these seem logical and what I vaguely recall from local news reports. It's been a while since the runway redo.

No flaps?
What you can't see is the slats in front of the wing
How did this plane get in the air with no flaps?
It certainly would have needed much more runway than usual to get the required amount of lift,that's why flaps 15 are normally set because in that configuration it allows most lift and minimum drag and the plane needs less runway to reach take off speed.
With roar of an engine can’t you hear the perfect sound I always seat by the window close to the engine live it when it roars or by the wings
That thing was hauling on the concrete, couldve taken off 5 second before it did
5000 rpm
Never understood why O'Hare is "ORD". There is no d!
Who knows…I’ve wondered too. Like LAX… so many really.
O’Hare was originally named Orchard Field in the 1940’s.
It was originally ORCHARD PLACE FIELD in the 1940s. Somehow it was abbreviated to ORD.
@@tonyde52 perhaps maybe because there is an ORD in OrchaRD!! 🤔
Back in the day, much of the current O'Hare Airport land was full of orchards (no airport) and wasn't in the city limits. When the airport was first built, the city of Chicago eventually snatched up the land and the airport. In time Orchard Field (ORD) became O'Hare Airport.
Twice different than the Fokker 70
I avoid flying on 717.
But yet ya watch videos of it….lol!! 😂😂
Me too
I trust the 717 WAY more than than the new MAX line of planes
How can ANYONE enjoy their flight with that horrible BUZZ SAW noise?
Only a true aviation geek!!
Music to my ears
A flight is flight
I was just about to type the same thing! @@motorcopjoe
It used to bother me then I lived in a fraternity and then OCS so I can sleep through anything, anywhere.
What's that bucket outside the window?
That's one of the engines. The engines provide the thrust that make the aircraft fly. It's a Boeing 717.
(edit:typo)
@@localbod Rivets and all, looks all pretty primitive
Yikes! Do you really trust your life in those things?
Yes you are statistically more likely to crash in a car on the way to the airport
@vvvxt car crashes are usually survivable because of all the safety features that deploy during a crash. There are no such features in a plane. So even if you miraculously survive a plane crash you won't survive all the non supporting blunt force trauma to your entire body, and then there's the fire! Cars are much more survivable
its statistically safer than driving thanks to more stringent recurrent training procedures
