#FullFlight #DeltaAirLines #McDonnellDouglasMD80
This video is the best to sleep to. The engine hum of an MD is nostalgic and priceless. I promise you will sleep like a baby. #sleepsounds #sleep #aviation # McDonnellDouglas #deltaairlines #delta #fullflight #algorythm
I just love the entire MD-80 series (including the 717). It's also always fun to leave a place where the weather is overcast, damp and dreary only to break through the cloud deck to discover the sun and lots of blue sky. For this video, the fortunate final touch is landing on runway 8-26. it's kind of rare, so it's always a welcome change on the approach. Thanks for posting. Stay safe and healthy. Cheers.
A runway, that if I'm not mistaken, is now occupied by a good portion of American's wide body fleet.
@@sla31You are spot-on correct. I suppose it's a sign of the times. That's why I'm so glad you caught the approach. Who knows how long it will be before 8-26 will be able to be re-opened?
This is a special video. This was my last flight before being grounded by the current Coronavirus pandemic. At the time, I knew things were getting crazy, but I still didn't see the whole industry changing like it has... WWith Delta now set to retire the MD-80's by the end of June, this may have been my last ever MD-80 flight, and I didn't even know. Now, it's worth mentioning that I flew on two other MD-80's on this trip, so there are two more, brand new, Delta MD-80 full flight episodes coming up, but this one is special to me now, since it's likely the last time I will have ever flown on the old mad dog. 😔
Well good cause one of these is now stored so I'm glad you probably took one last step on the MD88 and flew on it before Delta parked it flightaware.com/live/flight/N999DN/history/20200404/1510Z/KATL/KBYH
Skylite Productions your cool
I am mad that the md88s are ded :(
:(
Loved the video such fond memories of the MD-80s out of Tulsa
That TUL terminal seems frozen in time too😉
For all but the first few months of my Delta career I was based in ATL. I commuted from CHS. Never flew the maddog but spent countless hours on her. Many in the cockpit on the jumpseat. It's a great, reliable and sturdy airplane. You may not believe it if you sat near the engines but it has one of the quietest cockpits in the business. I'll miss it.
It’s sad to see their service being cut short. I’m glad I flew on three of them in March. That included my last flight before this pandemic grounded me. They will be missed.
Great video! I was on 999 last fall BUF-ATL, seat 32E (one in front of where you were sitting). Sadly, this old bird was retired in the beginning of April if my memory serves correct. I'll be sure to remember this video for my own memories. Thanks a lot, man
I love everything about this video. The mad dog, the rain, flying in general. Thank you for uploading these so I can get my fix.
My pleasure. Plenty more on the way! Including more MD-80 flights!
At least we have wonderful videos like this to remember the MD-80 series aircraft.
Wow. It went form a cloudy rainy day to a bright clear sky. So beautiful!😍😍
A true workhorse of an airplane that will be missed.
Yes it will. 😩
@@sla31 Thank you very much for these wonderful videos.
I loved the mad dog Deltas! Sorry they are gone!🥲✈️✈️
I sure miss flying on these things. Love that takeoff roar and the "G" sounding note when the P/A goes on!!!!!
I have looked for so long trying to find a clip of just that pa ding but I can’t find it!!!
What pa
What, tell me ,explain ,show
@@AA-tz2bm Passenger announcement system or something. Whenever a crew member speaks, you can hear the G note he's talking about. You hear it for a while during pushback.
@@thecaynuck4694 thx
Great vid man! I am really gonna miss flying on these birds. They always seem so stable and solid. My last MD 80 flight was back in August with American. I sure did enjoy it. Sadly, that will turn out to be my last ride on one. Happy flying!
Love the mad dog 80
I was scheduled to fly on the mad dog in April.... Now I'm sad t
That I won't have a chance to fly in one of these beauties. Thanks so much for the experience! It almost feels like I'm there!
If Delta was keeping these for another 10 years, I would definitely apply for them.
They’re keeping 717s through 2025.
Fantastic !
I love that vid keep up. 👍🏾
Wow you made an awesome video, those engine sounds is the best part of a plane.
So sad I'll never get to fly on an MD80 aircraft in my life. That was something I wanted to do before I die. Such amazing airplanes.
Never say never. Although Delta is retiring their MD-80s, and they are by far the largest operator, there are still other MD-80 operators in the world. The MD-90 is a different story though. Sadly, June 2 will most likely be the final MD-90 flight of all time.
@@sla31 Nice, thanks for the info. Great video
Man, I just found out today on flight aware news about the MD-80/90s, I am so sad as I will no longer see these beautiful aircraft flying for legacy airlines. Hopefully, other companies can save some of them from being scrapped.
Wait the md 80 and 90 are gone from delta? I fly on a md 80 or 90 to mt grandma's and grandad's house
😞😣😭
Nice job bro! I hope to see more :D
Nice video man.
Rare landing on 8, right before the pandemic happened. I’ve only landed on 8 once, took off on 8 once, and took off 26 once with probably the better side out of 100 flights at Tulsa
Only remember one flight that landed on 8 in years of flying into/out of Tulsa
In 10 years these people will be like, what? And now we have it on video. Kind of like I am when I hear a 727 on youtube.
great video, liked
What a workhorse the whole DC-9 series was, all the way up to the MD-90 series. I remember flying on many of Delta’s DC-9-30s as a kid.
Beautiful video of the MD-88. Enjoy them while you still can =D
Which isn't much longer now. Just a couple of months.
@@sla31 It's a sad time indeed
1:46 The rain looks nice on the windows! And cool!
RIP Delta Mad Dogs.
I've flown on lots of em on both Delta and American Airlines.
It looks like you had a nice long trip
Last flight before the Virus thing went full bore. Loved the breakout thru the clouds and a nice landing at Tulsa.
Yeah, and I'm itching to get back in the air. It's sad to see how this pandemic is gutting the airline industry right now. Really sad.
It’s crazy that in US still fly this kind of airplane but In Italy MD-80 doesn’t fly anymore since 2012
Ps. Great Video !
At least when I took this flight. The MD-80's and 90's have been retired now. Sadly, you can't even fly them here anymore. Thanks for watching my friend!
My last flight on one was on N905DL, the oldest in the fleet. I had the left (3-seat side) of Row 30 all to myself. I knew then it was likely my last flight ever on one, being that I wouldn't be flying again for a while (and still hadn't) but also thinking DL would be retiring their Mad Dogs even sooner due to this damn pandemic. Rest in peace old friends. You had good long lives.
I like this plane, flew many times...
I've flown that line before... That's probably the same plane I flew in 2019 actually lol. They need some TLC on their paint jobs.
wow that icing
NUM 1 I LUVVV UR VIDS THXX NUM 2 MD88 IN 2020???????
Does it take 40 seconds for the plane to take off?
Last row- Oh yeah! bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
As a resident and flyer to/from Tulsa, it was difficult for me to figure out which runway you landed on in this video since typically commercial jets use 18L/36R. But it appears here you landed on 8/26? For gate access speed? Or was the crosswind that day pretty strong? They don't make 8/26 the active very often unless the xwind component is strong enough to warrant.
You would be correct, this was a RARE time when we landed on 8/26. This was before Covid and that runway being shut down to store aircraft. Living in Joplin, MO I fly out of TUL a lot, and I believe this is the only time I've ever landed on it. I believe there was just really strong crosswinds that day. Thanks for watching my friend!
Very strange use of the reverse thrust…
The MD 80 series aircraft really are fantastic. The engines on them sound amazing. And at 11:44 you can see the rain droplets indicating how much acceleration is happening
I miss going places!
Me too my friend. We’ll be able to travel again. Don’t worry.
Same
Can no longer think of any major airlines or even any commercial passenger airlines at all that still operate this now. Except maybe World Atlantic Airlines.
There are a few small airline that will still operate the MD-80 like World Atlantic, but not the MD-90. Delta is the final operator of the MD-90 in the world.
@@sla31 Yeah, just searched that up. MD-90 wasn't used that much by airlines. Limited number built compared to earlier versions and the 717. At least we have the 717 to fly on for some more years.
Could you please record engine full shutdown next time?🥺🙏
I always try to do that. Unfortunately, sometimes that becomes a problem, as a lot of airlines, play copyright protected music once you get to the gate. I can’t record anything with music or YT will take the video down. So engine shutdown is often missed because of this.
I saw "full flight" on the title and saw this was posted 4 days ago and so, I thought maybe, after all those EMPTY flights we're seeing, I thought perhaps on this flight, every seat was FULL....lol! But I guess we wont be seeing that for quite a long time.
Sadly I think you’re right. This was filmed on March 10th. Which was the last day I flew before grounding myself because of this pandemic. I had been flying pretty much every week up until that, and this was the first week where I flew that there was a noticeable decrease in number of passengers. Of course, it’s only gotten worse since then. And yeah, the “full flight” in my video titles refers to the entire flight being shown from start to finish haha. I see how that could be misleading in today’s world haha.
Sad to see this model being phased out. Too bad you had a very scratched up window to film through....sign of age and wear/tear on the ol' mad dog..and sitting right next to the engine I guess...but nonetheless, great job on the video )). Look forward to return to flight videos when environmentally safe again to fly regularly. I am fixated on watching them now since the shutdown...lol. Feels just like you are right there...especially when listening though speakers with deep base in them). Something soothing or relaxing just being up there looking down at puffy clouds or the land passing by.
Luckily, the other two MD-80 flights I took on this trip did not have scratched up windows. And those flights are still coming.
39:00 that engine blade isn’t spinning if you look closely
So, your eyes do not deceive you. However, what you’re seeing is not the actual fan blades. The old Pratt and Whitney engines that MD-80’s use have what are called inlet guide
vanes, or fan grates. All MD-80’s are equipped with these grates, and they are in front of the actual fan blades, which are turning. They’re designed to help guide air into the engine. Normally, it’s difficult to see them because light doesn’t usually get far enough into the engine to make them visible. This is not my video, but they are really visible in this video. czcams.com/video/iG7meD5VmV8/video.html
@Skylite Productions thanks for telling me! That is super interesting and hopefully there will be another MD80 video before they are all retired. Stay safe!
I currently have two more Delta MD-80, never before published, full flight videos. They are both coming up in the next couple of months.
Skylite Productions that’s awesome can’t wait 😊
Thats my route coming home from work in Kuwait.
was surprised Delta still flying these planes years later.
Did anyone see at 39:57 that other plane that was cool??
I've been lucky enough to see that a few times while flying. It makes it look so fast.
@@AmyAnnLand I have never seen that while flying!!
Looks like a Delta Boeing 717.
YES! Lmao i just happened to look down and zoom goes that other plane! So cool to see that! Also note; It appears to be another aircraft flying above this one probably @ 37,000ft maybe.
MCAS
:( poor plane doesn’t even fly anymore. I live in ATL so I used to fly this plane all the time.
I can see why deltas rapid retiring these jets now, but American Airlines did such a special last flight, and I wonder if Delta would do a special one too, or if they will just kind of quietly retire them.
Unfortunately, because of the current situation, coupled with the fact that they need to save as much money as possible, I bet there is no pomp and circumstance for their retirement. 😩
@@sla31 Yeah that's such a bummer. Hopefully the pilots of the last MD-80 flight will at least mention the fact that it's the last flight. I feel they should give it some love before they get sent off to be scrapped.
Why do the engines spool up and down seemingly randomly sometimes?
Auto throttles
@@kevinfarrell9884 Thanks Kevin...
I've never been on an MD-80, or any other McDonnell Douglas aircraft. And now, I guess I never will.
It’s sad to see them going so much sooner than planned. You’ll always be able to fly on them here with me.
@@sla31 I had thought the MAX grounding would lead them to keep them around longer, and maybe it did, but then this counterforce came out of nowhere.
If you can catch the Delta 717 (MD-95) you'll get darn close. I wanted to fly on a proper MD but will never as well, which is unfortunate since my grandfather worked for them.
The 717 is technically still a McDonnell Douglas product and they’ll fly for another 5 or so years
Sadly, this plane's flying days are probably done. It flew to Blytheville on April 4th.
Yeah. I saw that. It's really sad to see what this pandemic has done to the airline industry.
I love the Mad dog
I also loved what Kennedy Steve called them: The Angry Puppy.
1:40 how does the flight attendant sit?
There’s sort of an optical illusion here. You can’t see it, but there is no seats directly across from the flight attendant. The seat is spring loaded and folds down while they’re seated. When they stand up it folds back up. And like I mentioned, there is no seat directly across from them.
It seemed as if Delta was carrying on NWA's philosophy of flying the capital out of their older (owned) aircraft first... especially during hard times. For example, NWA flew the hell out of their 727s and DC-10s after 9/11. Later, Delta flew DC-9s all the way to 2014, Especially with fuel costs tanking right now, I really thought Delta would continue this trend and fly the hours out of the MD-88s and MD-90s going forward. I guess the plan has changed. Bummer!!
How many airplanes have you took last year
Well, this year, before I stopped flying in March, I have taken 38 flights. But I haven't flown since March 10th.
Wow I fly like 1time a year
@@sla31 i dont do that
I go on four flights a year one to atl then to bwi back to atl but im not telling u where the last one is ;)
Skylite Productions I fly two to three times a month I need to start posting on CZcams more.
And to think, the runway you landed on (8/26) is now a parking lot for AA.
Yeah, crazy to think about now. Thanks for watching!
What did you think about that window?It looks so scratched up.😂
It was very scratched, which was disappointing, but I did fly on two other Delta MD-80's on this trip and they had much better windows. Both flights have yet to post on the channel, so those are still coming.
Ok.
Will you be joining us on DL88 on June 2nd?
I will not. As much as I wanted to be. I desperately wanted to take the final Delta MD-90 flight, and I saw when they were announced, and could've gotten a seat. Given that Delta is the only operator of the type left, it's likely that this flight will be the final MD-90 flight of all time. Sadly, I had to pass it up. I do not dare travel right now with a newborn child at home who doesn't have the battle hardened immune system that I have. I would never be able to live with myself if I were to give my new daughter the virus, just because I wanted to fly, and something happened to her.
The engine seat yuck. I always got over the wing. P.S that snack will really fill you up while the head of DELTA is having a steak dinner counting his bundle of money he made.
Funny, all MD that i know in life have 2-3 seats, on Delta 3-2, i never see before
Yeah, Delta has their seat layout backwards haha.
I don’t think the MD88 will be gone before the end of summer
You don't or you do? Delta has announced they will all be retired by the end of June, and that includes the MD-80's and the MD-90's. Sadly.
Skylite Productions well, according to delta’s flight reservation system online the MD88 will continue flying to Providence through the summer. Not sure if they just haven’t removed it yet, but it does show up there...
Camera in airplane like flight simulator and should be in flight simulator 2002 in PS3
Sad to see these go so much sooner than originally planned :(
Yes, it really is. I am not ready for this!
Hey thats my airport (not really)
Alright, who was the person who didn't have their tray table up?
Also, I got a ticket on DL80. I have been on the MD90 and MD95 (717) so I made sure I was getting on that flight to get 3 of the 4 aircrafts in the same family. Just missing the Delta DC-9 which will probably never happen
I hope you have a good time. That's a flight I really wanted to take, but with a new daughter at home, I can't take the risk of traveling right now. At only 5 weeks old, she doesn't have the battle hardened immune system that I have. So, sadly, I had to pass on both of these flights.
Skylite Productions, it’s always understandable. Protecting our kids is more of a priority than anything.
Putz doch mal die Fenster, bevor ihr fliegt
