Sweet catch of Delta’s B717-200 N949AT landing in MSP. The Eldest Angry Puppy in Delta’s fleet.

Those thrust reversers 😍

I can’t get enough of it! Although, I miss the JT8D’s reverse 10x more! I miss those loud & Smokey engines!

I'm looking forward to my flights on these airplanes later in June. I'm glad he used full reverse on landing I always expect it.

[@jonahair747]

I’m looking forward to flying one roundtrip at the end of this month! & when it comes to the reverse thrust, they always use full reverse. Too bad it’s not as loud as the DC-9, 727 or MD-80

@@jonahair747 Yeah, the JT8Ds were always a treat to hear on reverse.

​@jonahair747 True but they seem like the loudest planes left in passenger service now?
