When you are sitting by a window on a plane, being able to look out at a sea of clouds is just so relaxing.
I couldn't agree more my friend! Thanks for watching!
Great video! 👍 Nicely done showing all the details ✈️
Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome Video!
Thanks my friend!
Wow, those clouds are beautiful! Great video!
Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is a rare bird now! Loved the stunning shots you got at around 46:00... Keep it up!
Thanks my friend!
That is quite an old aircraft! Nice video! 👍✈️
It sure is. You won't be able to fly on them for much longer. Thanks for watching!
It's probably one from the final batch of 24 that were delivered to TWA around 1999-2000.
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing! =D
Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@sla31 I always do! =D
I'm subscribed!!! So far love your vids great job
Thanks my friend! I'm always glad to hear when people enjoy the videos! New videos are posted everyday at 4:00pm central time. Thanks for watching, and welcome to the channel!
@@sla31 his the American airlines have what the 80 82 an83 model n delta has 88 only hey those engine's power like a b 1 bomber I think there stuck together and the md 90s are side way mounted but layi g underneath the wing of the a319 and 320
@@sla31 i used to fly northwest but it was just dc 9 i think but they had short and long plane but that was in 91 to 93. But delta bought them out in 2008 I think they got a hub there in Minneapolis airport was Northwest
Yes, American currently operates the MD-82 and MD-83. There isn't a MD-80 variant. The MD-80 is the family of aircraft, and in that family there are MD-81's, MD-82's, MD-83's, MD-87's, and MD-88's. American has, in the past, operated the MD-81, and MD-87 as well, but only a handful of examples, and both were brought in from mergers with other companies. The MD-81's came from TWA, and the MD-87's came from Reno Air. As you mentioned, Delta only operates the MD-88. As for the engines, I believe you're referring to the B-52 not the B-1. The B-1 uses GE engines, whereas the B-52 uses 8 total Pratt & Whitney engines that are very similar to the same Pratt & Whitney engines used on the MD-80's.
@@sla31 thanks for the info
Enjoy them while you can. 😊
Yes indeed! Sadly the clock is ticking for these old birds. Thanks for watching!
Skylite Productions you welcome 😊
classic sound
Thanks for watching my friend!
Are all those 80 series have the snack bar thing in the back I never seen that b4 that cool and cozey I just fly Delta there md88 aren't configured like that I like American airlines set up love this planes there reliable work horses I fly one of this any day over a 737 especially the 800 maxx
All of American's MD-80's are set up that way. Like you mentioned, Delta doesn't have the same seating configuration in the back of their MD-88's. Also, I'm with you. I'd fly on an MD-80 over something new any day. That being said, I won't turn down any flight though! Thanks for watching my friend!
Oh wow!! I actually took my very last S80 flight on 9615W! It was a very sad day for me indeed. I think that you sat in the same row as me or maybe I was in 27F haha. I left my camera lens cover on 9615w too damn it ! I made a lovely tribute on my channel on the MD-80s so I would recommend you check it out, its pretty beautiful! As always thanks for the quality and detailed content form you !
I’ll have to watch your tribute. Thanks for watching my friend!
Remember when they had almost 400? Great sadness, they will be gone by 2020 (from American)
They served well over their lifespan! Thanks for watching my friend!
Actually will be retired this September.
can someone explain to me why the ailerons stay up until take off? Is it because the hydraulics only control the control tabs and the wind evens the ailerons out during the takeoff roll? that would be my guess
Well I don't know that any of these reasons are the actual reason, but here are some possibilities. Pilots are taught from the very beginning of their training to "disturb" the air over the wings/control surfaces whenever they are on the ground. In other words, whenever they aren't planning on generating lift it's best to disrupt the air over the wings as much as possible. Obviously this is more important in small planes that generate enough lift to take off at much slower speeds, but it's a practice a lot of pilots get in the habit of, and it just continues throughout their careers. So, it's possible the pilots had the control surfaces up like that to minimize the amount of lift prior to takeoff. For example. When I was getting my private pilots license, I trained in Salina, Kansas. It was not uncommon to have days where the wind would be constant at 30-40-50 knots. The Cessna 172's we used generate enough lift to takeoff at 60 knots. So if you were to point the aircraft into the wind at 50 knots of headwind you'd be generating almost enough lift to takeoff, and remember, you're sitting still. So, to minimize the lift you can use the control surfaces to disrupt the air. It's also possible the pilots just had the yoke turned one direction and the aileron was up because of that, and they didn't intend for any of the stuff I just listed above. I don't think this is a design feature of the MD-80 though. I just check a couple other MD-80 videos I've made and they didn't have the aileron up like that prior to takeoff. Hopefully that helps. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31this is true but it is not true in this instance.
The reason for it is because the flight controls on the MD-80 aren't actually hydraulic whatsoever. Like, at all. It's 100% cables and pulleys from the yoke to the control surface servo tabs. It's basically a big 172 with one key difference. The yoke actually doesn't move the control surface itself it moves tiny "servo tabs" that deflect the aileron and elevators with airflow. The ailerons and elevator are completely free standing so it's extremely common to see the ailerons deflected one up one down as well as the elevator fully deflected, usually fully up when there isn't any airflow over them. When the Super80s were new it wasn't terribly uncommon for an aircraft taxiing behind an MD-80 to say something on the ATC ground frequency about how "something looks wrong" with the MD-80s elevator. 😂
Old and goofy but proven and reliable flight controls just like the maddog herself. The Super80 is the true last of the handflown jets out there.
@@camerong819 Awesome thanks a lot! But can you explain the elevators, why are they split in half? and point in different directions sometimes.
They don’t make them like this anymore
They sure don't. I will miss them very much when they are finally all gone! Thanks for watching my friend!
Hallo im ny see you soon thank. You bye bye
rip american airlines md 80s
Fly on them while you still can! Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 with the md 80s gone no more old logos of the legacy carriers
