Omg love the MD 80. Great shot with the shadow of the plane. First one I have seen

[@TheHDAviation]

What a sound! Nice engine and wing view.

I flew on this plane from Tampa to Indianapolis back in the late 80's with USair. This plane will always be magical. Back in 2010 I got lucky to ride from Lexington to Clearwater... this plane just makes me happy...

I´ll always remember my last time in a MD88. Y was sitting in this same seat, traveling on my own as a teen, I pressed my ear as hard as I could against the plane wall, to hear the engine roar on take off ( I just LOVE how when it accelerates, that high pitch sound, suddenly turns into an incredible roar... ). I´ll miss the MD80´s....so much aluminium, so many rivets...that sound...

Dude I wish they never retired these. These engines just sound so good and powerful

[@HighVoltageMadness]

The JT8D definitely has a very distinctive hum. Sounds very cool.

Love the MadDog

[@flyinghow]

Love that nice LONG takeoff roll

[@TUKUMZ]

i like the sound of these engines from taxi to climb...whenever i think of these planes I can't get past the ATC audio of the alaska airlines flight from MX to SFO

[@LupeCoded]

Boy that shadow at initial takeoff just gives a perspective of how much that thing is hauling ass

[@johnsonof9]

I wish the X Plane team can Add the MD-80 sounds for 3rd Person and the Cabin view :(

[@Jannik_Stein]

What do you mean by that?
