It's always great to see old footage like this. The quality makes it all the more classic. I have footage of my only documented DC-9-31 takeoff and landing as of Aug 23, so I got a ride just in time. Tail # was N8928E. Great Vid.
This plane was manufactured in 1968 at the McDonnell Douglas plant in Long Beach, California. Northwest took this plane out of service and scrapped it in 2008.
I was two when you recorded this! Thanks so much for sharing. I grew up in Detroit with a father who worked for NW and I eventually worked there myself. Brings back some AWESOME childhood memories
I remember this airport. We would go practically every day to pick my dad up. I probably barely wasnt old enough to remember going towards the gates pre-9/11 days, maybe once or twice, but this still brings back memories. It also had the best view from the food court. You could see so many classic planes from there!
The safety demo heard over the loudspeaker didn’t mention any instructions on usage of flotation devices, but maybe it wasn’t mentioned if the flight was only 30 min and the flight was over land and not water. In 2008 or 2010, Delta did take some Northwest Airlines DC9s and put them in service with Delta until 2014
My father worked for Wisconsin Central, then North Central, then Republic and retired from Northwest; still love the DC-9; a great plane; Boeing really missed their opportunity with the 717!
I remember flying Northwest Orient from KPHX to KGEG a few times as a kid. Made the trip on Delta DC-9's and those awesome Alaska 727's. Now its all 737 and A320
@@crjetpilot That’s not the point. Airlines were still competing on price AND in-flight service in coach at that time. (Today they don’t even bother.) It was SOP to offer your customers some refreshment even on a short flight.
That TWA 727 you captured is PRICELESS !
Cool video. I sure do miss Northwest, I''m glad I got to fly on their DC-9s before they were retired.
Sir Time I miss them both very much also
Don't apologize, this is history you videotaped here. Thank you for that !!!
I love the sound of JT8Ds on startup and shutdown! And the TWA 727! This video is heaven!
yeah flew the Twa 727 a few times , Loved the sound they had they sounded way stronger than Delta, NW , NC , or Eastern back in the 80s at Metro ,,,

Great memories for me. I worked on many, many DC-9s and remember the sounds of those engines fondly.

I think this is a splendid video, nicely shot, and very good quality for equipment of the day. Thanks for sharing!

Great memories!!!
When flying was fun
DC 9 was spacious and cozy inside!

Great music coming from the back of the airplane.
DC-9 and 727's are awesome. I hate A320 and 737NG
Alexander Wedø
I do too! Today’s planes have absolutely no character. Zero.
I Miss TWA and NWA
I miss the DC9 and DC10. Kudos to the Boeing 727 as well!!
Saw a TWA L-1011 in the distance!

Great Video!!
7:25 free ticket every 20,000 miles. Those days are gone too.
i'm still lucky, last dc9 trip was last year on a -51
1:34 3:25 4:37 5:53 Music to the ears of anyone who loves Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines
Northwest Airlines, N9333, was formed Air West.
They managed a complete beverage service from IND to DTW back then? They can barely get you a bottled water now.
What do you really need on a 30 minute flight anyway?
