Delta Air Lines MD-88 Takeoff & Climb, CLE

[fenerli342]

Nice dude ;)

[stevolli66]

I LOVE THE VIDEO I LIVE IN CLEVLAND OHIO

[yokepuay]

is a bad weater

[genysys20]

I love how quiet the Mad Dogs are upp front, but I also love a good JT8D, the humming of a low bypass sounds really nice on takeoff.

[technoguy97]

It's so noisy because it has Low-Bypass Engines

[duk309]

@Cook1993 Pressurization is not automatic in the MD-80 Family, or DC-9 family. Or MD-90 Family.

[planar11]

can never go wrong with a md =] nice video!

[kaymoney89]

kool plane but i wish they had radio or TVs, ive flown it 10000 times nd it sux going 3+ hrs without any entertainment...well besides cute flight attendants lol

[Boeing757luvr]

the only got them on the MD90s

and theres only a few of them

[krlos116]

@kaymoney89

i get you point, but its really entertainent to hear those engines roar, and watching trought the window :D to see the flaps and the wing ;D

[maplemanz]

yes they are very quiet up front noisy in back.

[meteors6]

i like the dc9 -30s,40s, and 50s better because the engines sound cooler!!!!!!!!!!

[nwaairlinkazo]

Delta will soon have all of those painted with the merger with northwest airlines!

[meteors6]

yeah i know in detroit metro i see a lot od dc9-30's painted and -50's an i think -40's

[tubefube]

the new meger design looks alot better, will they paint over all of there planes with it, the meger paint job made the airline look more profesional, i just like it alot

[lordvader3215]

Sit at the front of them. Quiet as shit.

[ChiGuy187]

at least you know the engines are working lol

[sam1190]

Sounds a bit like a weedeater. Very nice plane to fly on though.

[tjisnumbaone]

yeah its noisy at the back but i've been in the first class and there is like no noise up there

[FlyinFreek]

when i flew in one, it was the most quietest plane i ever flew in

[Kopihucky]

actually the cabin pressure is set manually about 200 feet above the takeoff altitude. So it does vary. But also everyones body is different like you said.

[gfinn08]

yes

[pkbarbiedoll]

Are the md-88's this loud around seat 21?

[FlyinFreek]

whoops!! sorry i markered your comment bad, ill try to fix that.

and no its not loud, i sat in seat 21

[DVA6293]

Hey this is DVA6293 wow those engines of the md88 are great contact me later

[sldauby]

I wouldn't know that since I only fly non-pressurized aircraft. I am not versed in such aircraft systems.

Not sure your comment " . . and are not very good when it comes to flying" is particularly friendly to the viewers.

[joshualolengland]

love the engine sounds ! =)

[coobert15]

my ears popped like fuck so many times on that plane whats up with that??? many times my ears were popped so bad i could barely hear anyone talk to me...

[sldauby]

That depends...could be the way the pilots varied pressurization during flight, especially during descent.

My ears used to pop quite often in the past, but now I'm either used to it or the pressurization changes are so gradual that it doesn't affect me. Not sure in your case.

[lordvader3215]

Hint drink lots of fluids and swallow very often. It clears up your ears.

[coobert15]

i flew on one of these with delta from pittsburgh to atlanta and hopped on another to go from atlanta to west palm beach florida. the engines are loud from inside the plane as you can tell their in the back. or at least mine were in the back

[sldauby]

Yes, my seat here was just 3 or 4 from the back. I deliberately chose it for the noise! -)

[Kobeydurham]

nice i subbed

[kingair81r]

Man those engines are out of sync

[Drewairlines]

Man the sound is really good!!!

[Kopihucky]

The md-88 is a great aircraft and I love the sound of the engines.

[mrevandude69]

i dont like the md-88's...too old for me

[crapper1]

dont fly northwest there dc-9s are pushing over 40 years

[markee9989]

shut up NWA ROCKS!!

[ElBandGeek]

The age of an aircraft is irrelavant when its well maintained. That said, the MD-88 isn't that old....the oldest were built in the late 80s and the last ones were built in 2000

[lordvader3215]

IF you think you think Md88s are too old then you probably aren;t gonna fly the following aircraft:

737-300,-400,-500

Older 747-400s

Most 757s

most 767s

Older A319,A320andA321s

Most A300s and A310s

Basically if you're gonna avoid a 20 year old planes you're pretty screwed

Again, as ElBandGeek said, age is nothing when you have very good maintenence. Whether it's a DC-9, 737NG, or MD88, it's gonna be a flying coffin when your maintenence is crap.

[retroguy1976]

wow they are still in service huh?? I flew on one back in 92 from newark to orlando

[lion9955]

dislike the md 88 so much... Its noisy as hell and the inventure is realy badly made out typically in a md 88. you can see it a quite old plane..

[sldauby]

Though some may be kinda old, there are lots MD-80s from the mid-90s (and some of Delta's MD-90s are from the late 90s). The noise is because it's rear-mounted rather than wing mounted.

Personal taste, but I don't mind the "noise."

[lion9955]

yeah i know. Md 90 and the newest md 95 also renamed boeing 727 after the buy out of mcdogless. But never like the dc 9 series. But i know its a matter of taste:) But md 88 is typically betwen 17 to 20 years old. Sas have a lot of them and i hate working on them:) theres a lot of teknical problems with these planes.

[cbcatcher007]

renamed the 717, flew on one with Airtran, awesome plane, very quiet from row 20 and the flight deck was unreal.

[jay4398]

sas do not have one single MD-88 they have MD81-82-83-87 the only european airlines that use MD-88 are Iberia and Onur Air as far as i know.

[gmailcarter]

cool!!!!!!!!!! i been on a delta md-88!

[TailsGuy]

I think I saw Jacobs Field at 2:00!

[sldauby]

It would be nice, but is not the case. We took off towards the west (RWY 24R) and never flew over the city. If we had taken one of the 06 runways, that would have been quite the sight!

[illinoisboyinchi]

hey what is the highest angle of pitch that an md-88 can fly before it stalls? sorry i'm really nervous b/c a.)it looks really steep 2.)i'm gonna be flying on one in march.

[sldauby]

Yes, the MD-80 series aircraft do seem to have steep angles, but it is always within aircraft limits. Have fun on your flight!

[hobosbrownsause]

i never seen that plane that is md-88

[crapper1]

a bit buzzy aint they?

[sldauby]

Ah yes...but it's music! :-)

[BearBearGuate]

the sound of these engines are much softer than other planes i've flown on in its class.

[blakman7]

Too bad they don't sound like that from outside of the plane. From the outside, they sound like a roar of garbage.

[strela1]

thanx for posting!!! I love the sound of the engines!

[brownbrownson]

dont we all ;)
