Captain George...what an amazing soul !
yes he is so friendly and professional :)
I spent most of my flying career in DC-9's and MD-80's. This is a very professional crew.
yes they are doing a great job. Must have been a awesome feeling flying DC-9's and MD-80's.
They don't make 'em like that anymore! What an exciting feature. Long live the DC-9!
True that Jaime, these flights were something very special! Hope you enjoy!
Beautiful, thank you! DC-9, the plane of my childhood. Such memories.
Yeah! its in business since a long time and still does it job pretty well!
The black captain does a great job
Thank you he is really good
Thank you for making and sharing this superb video. The production value is fantastic. Great camera angles and cinematography. I enjoyed your dialogue with the flight crew. They were a joy to listen to. This is one of the best cockpit videos I've ever watched. I love the DC-9. I think it was the very first jet I ever flew on -- back in 1969 or so. Great plane. Cheers.
Just amazing to see the DC-9 still in the Air, Remembers me my Dad that use to work on them. Thank you very much for all this perfect videos
Glad you enjoyed it what type of work did he do ?
A fabulous aircraft and kindly crew! I love all these old birds. I just downloaded the relevant scenery for X-Plane and am going to recreate the route in the 727, 737-200, 747-200, and MD-80.
Have fun its a awesome fligth I would love to be able of flying it in real live with a DC-9
One of the best cockpit videos I've seen, and I've seen plenty.
Wow, thanks! always nice to hear that my work is special to you! :)))
Great video and what a nice crew. Glad to see a DC9 in action.
Thank you very much!
What a relic! I remember those a/c's from back in the day. Nice to see this still flying!
Yes indeed! really nice that this old lady still does the job the same way she did for years
It`s a very awesom feature. thank you very much for sharing with us its almost an historical airplane
that's my destiny :), love posting those old beauty's!
What a great video, beautifully photographed and edited! The DC-9-30 was my second ever flight, the first being on the B-707. The captain mentioned the performance of the DC-9-10, the baby pocket rocket. I flew many times on this series on Midway Airlines from Chicago and it really did leap off the runway!
Oh not bad that are some really good planes to take a flight.
What was your favourite flight and why ?
Greetings from Patrick☺️

Enjoyed watching the vintage DC9 jet !! 👍 Best regards from north-west of EDDF ;-) PS: Nice sticker on the upper-left cockpit door !!
Glad you enjoyed it, I need the same sticker at my office door haha
That inboard right main tire was ready
😂 you are right about that
Great video!!!
Thanks for the visit, hope you enjoy the next flight :)
I'm interested in how they support these aircraft, particularly engines.
What about that last crate? Great great video, such a classic bird.
Thanks for watching loved filming this video, the plane is a beauty
-greetings patrick
Manifique image
Great classic. Thanks for the video. Isn't it uneconomical to fly to FL 280 on the Daresalaam to Beira sector?
Captain flys all the legs????
F/O was just checked out from training and they learned of the filming project just 10 hours before the flight. They both agreed mutually that Captain works in front of the cams and F/O does all flights next day. Very helpful, real pros!
Didn't look one of that tires really worn out??
