@@RedLP5000S Yessir you are correct! The 727, 737-200, and DC-9 are WAY LOUDER then the MD-80 since they use the older JT8D variant engines which have a lower bypass ratio then the ones on the MD-80. despite the older JT8D varaints on the 72, 732, and -9 havong to be hush kitted since they arent Stage III noie compliant, they are still alot louder then the MD-80s. Trust me, MD-80s arent that loud, they are only a little bit louder then for example a CFM-56 powered 737.

Now there are basically two options left to hitch a ride on an MD80 1.) jumpseat on an MD80 freighter 2.) end up on a World Atlantic Airlines repatriation flight
My favorite airplane. A few years ago on deplaning I told the captain this and he sadly said "Mine too". I miss the comfort and the confident feeling of perfection. Sad to see them being retired.
Sometimes the most dull and routine things are the most beautiful. I don't know about you, but anytime I see a large metal object defy gravity and leave the rugged terrain, I find it incredible and amazing. Doesn't matter what size.
This takeoff reminded me of a near ground collision we had while I was jumpseating on a DC9 around 1996 in DFW. We were cleared to cross an active runway and an AA MD80 was given clearance to takeoff on the runway we were about to cross, and when I looked to the right and said "hey guys, why are the runway lights moving? (it was a dark night). The moving "runway lights" were the landing lights of the MD80 coming at us. Just as we had crossed the hold line, the FO yelled, "STOP!" , and the wingtips of the MD80 went by about 50 feet from our cockpit. No one said anything, controller, us for a while, and I doubt the MD80 crew even saw us. Every time I look down a runaway at night, that airplane comes to mind. Unfortunately once all the MD80s and B717 are gone, so will those "runway moving lights" forever. Long live Mad Dogs.
Awesome! I love the MD-80/DC-9. Nothing quite like the sound of a jt8d at full boogie. Plus they just look great too. Compared to today's ho-hum, twins on the wing jets. I would always try to sit in the back as close to the engines as possible. Love that spool-up sound at takeoff. Shame to see them getting put out to pasture. Air travel used to be much more exciting. Happy trails jt8d's.
Chris Nizer My flight to Miami and back in September on Delta N956/981DL was fantastic. Seat 34E, right next to the No. 2 engine! Videos on my Channel :P
@@michaelo1929 Absolutely! Remember when going to an airport was exciting? All the different types of aircraft, liverys, classic jetliners made the time spent at the airport an enjoyable part of the vacation. Now it's a grueling task with all the fun of oral surgery.
For me every MD-80 series airplane take off is awesome, but you are right, this is by far one of the best!! Absolutely perfect!! The beauty of this aircraft and of this take off are so almighty that the word "incredible" is absolutely appropriate. Because this is an incredibly beautiful aircraft, and you did an incredible good job!
I really miss those classic birds. Before covid came along, they came and went from Columbus every day, and I never got a video of one. At least I got the 717's before they stopped flying in.
I came from a video of Delta and Spirit Airlines fighting over the radio. This plane is so cool... I really like the design of the engine location and tail fin.
living about 20mins southeast from LGA engraved in my young memory is hearing the roar first and then seeing exhaust pour out against the horizon and those 2 iconic stabilizers above the vertical fin. the back of those engines would face my neighborhood directly during climb out from LGA and you could absolutely hear the windows shake on a quiet enough day
Truly stunning. It was a gorgeous takeoff, yes. But you deserve a ton of credit for some stellar camera work. Incredibly smooth... and the video is so crisp. Excellent job.
Nicely done 👍. Great capture. This brings back my trip to Saint Paul. I flew from San Francisco to Minneapolis in 2012 February on a Delta Airlines MD80. It was my connection flight from Singapore to MSP. Plus it was my first winter flight. On the return journey we were bit delayed due weather. Thanks for the video.
2 years ago if this was in my recommended I'd just see a normal plane taking off. Thanks to the many flight channels, like Allec or Xpilot I've taken to xplane and learned quite a deal about this plane. Now I see a remarkable economical workhorse. Would it be an exaggeration to say a legend of sorts?
Seen this old DC-9 Sport from Scandinavian Airlines yet? It was ordered for the short runways in the northern of Scandinavia. th-cam.com/video/Pj51bfKPckg/w-d-xo.html
I still remember the last MD-80 I that I saw. Was just taking off from the Phillip Goldson International Airport in Belize. Passed above at 100mts or so. Quite a view. Beautiful machine.
Definitely starting to love the MD-80, gorgeous plane, sounds absolutely amazing. Cockpit is bad for todays standards in the likes of Airbus but pilots really seem to love this thing.
why do airplanes even have a windshield in the cockpit anymore?? The pilots can hardly see anything from them anyway. They should be replaced with TV screens that can easily be removed if they should ever fall. Take a look at the back of your smart phone. Do you see that 3 mm dot? That’s the camera lens. Manufacturers could put these in the nose for a better view of the runway when landing. In fact, OEM’s could put cameras all over the plane to give pilots a view of every inch of the aircraft in cases of malfunctions. Currently, if you don’t get 3 green lights for landing gear, the cockpit conversation goes like this: “Is the landing gear down?” “I dunno.” “I guess we’ll have to buzz the tower so they can take a look.” And if these cameras are recorded on a third black box, these cameras would help NTSB immensely with accident investigation. Am I the first person to think about this??
@@sambrusco672 I dont know how you came to this conclusion from my comment but Im pretty fucked right now, reply to this comment please explaining the question, then Ill reply and we can take it from there my friend :)
The 3rd (stabilizer) engine that they added with the MD-88 was much needed. Still a smaller plane than my preference to fly on though. Diggin' your vids's. Thanks!
I don’t know if I could call this plane particularly beautiful but something about it is just crazy appealing! Especially I like the American shiny polished look!
Oh, the MD-80. I love them. Too bad that the last flight of one of those in Colombia was about 2010. We don't get to see them anymore in my country. :'( They were phased out for A320 and E190.
well, good to see there are still people that enjoy "some" of the older ones...watch a couple heavy B727 takeoffs, now those are impressive...I should know, I flew them long enough !!!
I few the MD8X series extensively with Delta and others. She is a cool air plane. Before Delta went slow take off roll and reduced power to make the tree hugging EV drivers happy (ugh) we would pull away from the terminal in Mobile, Al where I live and taxi briskly to the west end of the runway. When the flight got TOC the guys would hit about 90% throttle and blast down the runway JT8D's screaming like a banshee and before you knew it V2 ROTATE and away we go. This was when you could FLY a great airplane like you stole it. Made Mobile to Atl in 40 minutes a number of times (now at least 50-55 minutes, you now go slow....). Ah those were the days flying a airliner that sounded like a FIGHTER JET. Boy she was sweet. Miss her and her siblings. Love live the MD8X/9X family particularly with the JT8D best sounding turbojet around.
You might want to rename that one "Incredibly LOUD Delta MD-88 Takeoff". The engines on that bird made my system's subwoofer rumble like you wouldn't believe!
Major compliments to the cameraman. This is some of the best footage ever recorded of an MD-80 takeoff. Please don’t ever take it down.
The last airliner with the sounds of a fighter jet
Boeing 727 is much louder. Check out Amerijet 727-200F.

I've never been disappointed with an MD-80 takeoff. Those things haul ass down the runway!! lol
Amen! Brand new 80 and the pilot punched it almost vertical. Fellow passengers were freaking but I shouted, "Whee!" Loved that cigar takeoff.
I remember flying those to Denver
The fact this is a 10 year old video lows my mind. It’s absolutely incredible, amazing camera work
This video never gets old.
Gotta forward this onto Captain Jeff. He's a DL MD-88 captain who passed through MHT for the first time on June 25. He loved the place.
The quality of this video is excellent
The landing gears retract faster than that of a 737. Just another example of an amazing piece of engineering Douglas built.
A prime example of Douglas craftsmanship, before the McDonell merger came along and screwed the company's desing philosophy over.
this is the best takeoff video i have ever seen. i like the cinematic mode.
This old beauty is still flying for Delta today in 2019.
Thats the md88 i think you're thinking about
Heres hoping 1 more decade! Goodbye american sadly enough tho..
Retired in June 2020. Beautiful era.
not anymore, sadly.

I used to take the PSA MD-80 from LA to Phoenix quite often. It was always a great ride... took off like a rocket!
I never got to ride in a MD but I sure wish I had. Love the sound and looks like a monster on the runway and in the air.
MD-80 is simply the best!
Tina Turner approves of this message
@@gutaplayer ?
@@j3r3mykangethe64 there’s a song by her called the Best, and simply the best is the chorus line.

Perfect video, straight to the point. No BS, nothing. Just a Mad Dog doing what it does best!
Loved flying on the MD-80/DC-9 because of the quick launch and high maneuverability. Great video and great sound!
Hear this sound. it's like listening to a symphony!! And enjoying the beauty of this plane is indescribable! Beautiful images. Thanks for sharing.
Sometimes the most dull and routine things are the most beautiful.
I don't know about you, but anytime I see a large metal object defy gravity and leave the rugged terrain, I find it incredible and amazing. Doesn't matter what size.
You sit near the engines on those things and get serenaded in a fabulous chorus of engine noise. Probably one of the best sounds you can hear!
These old birds are robust, and have character. They're awesome
Absolutely gorgeous. I'm gonna miss those classics!! =(
Found a comment of mine from 7 years ago. Just letting you know i'm here again enjoying the sound of the MD80!!

My late Dad worked at MD during the time most "Mad Dogs" were built so they certainly helped feed and clothe us .... Love them and DC Tri-Jet ..!
This is the only MD-80 takeoff video you will ever need.
I've always thought of the MD-80 series of jets as looking so graceful on take-offs. Nice.
I came from a video of Delta and Spirit Airlines fighting over the radio.
This plane is so cool... I really like the design of the engine location and tail fin.
I could watch MD-80's all day.
There is no better word to describe that than beautiful! 😍
The video is brilliantly shot! So "routine" becomes like gold...
Really nice .. love the crisp detail, rock solid pan and tilt. And no zoom out. Lovely work.
Miraculous footage. May very well go down in the history books
Captain was definitely in a hurry, started powering up while turning from the hold short line. Great video!

Captain Jeff here! Really nice video, BostonAirborne! I fly the MD-88/90, and it's always cool to see it from a different perspective!
Great quality and well captured!
I love the rumble of a DC-9 / MD-80 taking off. The JT8D Pratt & Whitney engines are the loudest I've ever heard.
The MD80 never disappoints
Very beautiful, huge like! Watching it for the fourth time right now
Picture and audio best ive seen in a long time. Great quality video.

What an amazing roaring! Impresiive! Thank you for sharing!
That bass as soon as it passes the camera is incredible! Great video! :)
exactly
Great video. It's so cinematic
This video is so crisp, truly baffled it's nearly 8 yrs old. Always loved the clean and proportionally long-looking wings of the MD-8X.
Just added this to my MD-80 playlist. Great sound!
So badass! It always amazes me how such a heavy machine can go airborne.

I few the MD8X series extensively with Delta and others. She is a cool air plane. Before Delta went slow take off roll and reduced power to make the tree hugging EV drivers happy (ugh) we would pull away from the terminal in Mobile, Al where I live and taxi briskly to the west end of the runway. When the flight got TOC the guys would hit about 90% throttle and blast down the runway JT8D's screaming like a banshee and before you knew it V2 ROTATE and away we go. This was when you could FLY a great airplane like you stole it. Made Mobile to Atl in 40 minutes a number of times (now at least 50-55 minutes, you now go slow....).
