I love this aircraft! I fly on them at least once a year because I fly into Melbourne,Florida every June out of ATL. It seems like this is a shuttle aircraft between Melbourne,FL and ATL. They are very reliable and comfortable!
Albany Aviation Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed the vid. The sound of the 717 on the takeoff roll is pretty awesome. One of the few unique passenger airliners out there imo.
Albany Aviation Tis but a number 🙂 I like to be personable with those who take the time to watch my vids and strike up conversation. Rather than tell someone to go to Google to find their answer, I assume they just want to have a fun conversation so I’ll answer their question for the sake of fun conversation about airplanes.
Awesome flight on B717-200 N978AT I love B717-200s they’re beautiful Mini Angry Puppy Jets #AmgryPuppies I hope you had an awesome night flight onboard B717-200 N978AT.
FireAlarmTechGuy4444 Yeah it was pretty cool. I made sure to check in right at the 24 hour mark, and there was a descent selection of seats to choose from including 27A.
Lee Jackson Especially with the shape of the coastline. Not so lucky with the views if departing on a trans Pacific flight, but still get to see LA on the return leg 🙂
I didn’t know that Delta still used 717’s, Allegiant is replacing all of their MD-80’s and 757’s with A320’s, and Policia Federal in Mexico still operates 4 727’s, I don’t know how or why, but they’re just still operating old 727’s
DylBeen the Plotagonist and randomee 240 The 717 also has newer Rolls Royce BR700 series engines which are much more efficient than older JT8Ds. Glad to see 727s still flying today. There are a handful of them still flying as VIP aircraft as well.
@@cheeseman1772 The 717 actually started as a McDonnell Douglas design formerly known as the MD-95, a fuel efficient 100 seat replacement for older generation aircraft like the DC-9. A low cost startup company called ValuJet were to take delivery for 50 of the new airliners in October 1995, but the carrier had a poor safety record when one of their DC-9s had an engine explosion when departing from Atlanta and the 2nd one in the fleet crashed into the Everglades killing all 110 passengers and crew on board. When McDonnell Douglas was bought out by Boeing in August 1997, they changed the designation to 717 and made it's maiden flight on September 2, 1998. It entered service with AirTran Airways in October 1999. 156 of the aircraft were built, production ceased on May 2006.
I also went on a cruise to the Caribbean November 15 is my birthday and I asked for a Gemini Jets airport the next day I go to ny United Airlines in a 737
Amazing video! The wing landing light extension never gets old on these birds. Also, this 717 has the newer, longer strobes upgraded by Delta!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Didn't know about the strobe upgrades. How cool!
@@LoveJT8D No problem, you always learn something new in aviation! ;)

Damn, I cant get enough of that spool up sound... Beautiful. Gotta love those Douglas twinjets!
Will Eley Absolutely! The mainline T-tail designs are some of the coolest around. Not to mention the engine is right at ear level 👍
LoveJT8D yesssss!
Another beautiful footage. Love Vegas.
K Butler Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.
4:29=Heaven but amazing report man! Enjoyed a lot!

Yeah last summer I flew an MD-88 out of Atlanta and the engine noise was so much better in person!
Albany Aviation That’s awesome! Yeah the camera mic doesn’t do the sound justice. In person it resonates throughout the cabin and surrounds you.
LoveJT8D so true! And I am impressed that you have so much subscribers but you still respond and reply to people's comments!

I Love that seat location, Great On-Board footage Phillip :)
Ed Whisenant Thanks Ed! My formula for the best seat in a Douglas jet is third row from the very back.
BREATHTAKING views....GREAT JOB!
zerberus500 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. I absolutely love capturing city light reflections in the wings. It looks like liquid oozing across the wings.
Very nice man! Whatever camera you are using is GREAT in the dark, very little noise.
Daniel Rivera Thanks! Glad you liked the video.I was using the Nikon D750 with the 24-120mm F4 kit lens.
Never Get Tired of Hearing this Amazing sound!! Nice Job Phillip!!
American 101 Thanks! One of the few distinct sounding passenger aircraft flying these days.
Nothing feels better than sitting between two Rolls Royce engines that roar loudly xD
FlightFilms One of the few engines on today’s modern airliners that actually roar.
LoveJT8D Sadly, that is true. Planes like the 737 max, A320neo, CS100, 787, etc... don’t roar :(
Awesome flight on B717-200 N978AT I love B717-200s they’re beautiful Mini Angry Puppy Jets #AmgryPuppies I hope you had an awesome night flight onboard B717-200 N978AT.
A very good flight
Jerome Hill Definitely some good views at night 👍
LoveJT8D yeah
Lucky.. Basic Economy got you 27A! I always pick main cabin to get 27A/37A/34E Depending on which DC-9 I fly on
FireAlarmTechGuy4444 Yeah it was pretty cool. I made sure to check in right at the 24 hour mark, and there was a descent selection of seats to choose from including 27A.
Gess what this summer I went to Australia and from lax to syd I was on a 777-200 lr and from ATL to lax I was on a a321 both delta
Derek Ferrell Aviation Nice! It’s Delta your favorite airline?
Fun Fact the first Commercial flight I went on was a Delta 717
I am doing the delta sim on December 3
Wow nice video :)
gabriel heva Los Angeles is beautiful at night from the sky
Lee Jackson Especially with the shape of the coastline. Not so lucky with the views if departing on a trans Pacific flight, but still get to see LA on the return leg 🙂

717 are fairly new. Even though the name suggests they were made in the 60's they were actually made in the early 2000's

LoveJT8D the 727s that the Federal Police in Mexico operate are 727-200, and they also operate 2(1 on order) CASA CN-235-400 turboprops

717 with LED strobes

It's sad I never got to fly AirTran because if you fly with them you are pretty much always going to get 717.
Cheez Boi True. I only flew them once or twice. It’s nice Delta kept them flying.
Hey what row where you sitting in
JMS Models The seat was 27A
Cool thanks
JMS Models No problem. Are you doing a 717 flight soon?
LoveJT8D maybe on delta not sure yet
