[DJSI3434]

What seat



[redreaper2020]

717. God I miss these. Good planes.

[ac83052]

what seat? on the 25th i will be in 24F.

[tehnoobzpwnerrofl]

What seat is this iam flying on airtran in January

[boeingdude1]

Boeing, not boing.

[clof2001]

@DranQNitrouS yeah it was a joke

[the747videoer]

17177 717 :D

[addi138]

guys. look at the title. he has misspelt boeing. thats an offence

[reidras]

In a way yes, the DC-9 was the original aircraft with JT8D engines, the MD-80 (80, 81, 82, 83, 87) are larger with a different name but still DC-9-8Xs the MD-88 is the only "MD-80" that is not a DC-9-8X as well as the MD-90 which is larger than some MD-80s and powered by newer engines. The Boeing 717 is an MD-95 but renamed by Boeing, this aircraft is closer in size to the original DC-9 but with a newer glass cockpit and more modern engines.

[MD11LR]

Boeing 717 = McDonnell Douglas MD-95

They renamed the plane after the takeover of MDC.

[clof2001]

They move the same direction at all times. It's the camera that does that, it has a limited amount of frames per second it can capture, the human eye is much better usually

[chappyhardcore]

@planedude1 - i can't believe you asked that question.

[killabb24]

@planedude1 Its because they are moving so fast

[arby321]

@planedude1 Its just how fast they are going distorts the way you look

[QupidsWorld]

@planedude1 It's the shutter speed of the camera that makes it look that way. If the shutter speed is just right it can make it look like they are not even moving. Just look up A Floating Helicopter here on youtube.

[rilowig]

AirTran took over Valujet and did you Dc-9-32's and 737-200's when the first started out.

j4cko56 the MD-90 has very little to do with the 717, it started life as the MD-95, when Boeing took over MD they changed the name to 717-200. They used 200 because there was a military only aircraft that they made and inside the company it was called the 717-100. If i remember right it was a military 720. Anyway Valujet sucked AirTran rocks, I love the 717's

[usafisasome]

they used to have dc9

[gregrittichier]

A B717 is the same as a DC-9, MD80,MD88. Boeing holds the typer certificate and the plane was improved and updated with All Glass Avionics and efficient high bypass turbo fans. A great plane

[j4cko56]

The "717" is simply an MD-90, which is an updated vertion of the MD-80 series, then it changed to 717 when Boeing bought McDonell Douglas, so TACHNICALY a 717 doesn't exist...

[gregrittichier]

The 717 technically does exist. Boeing holds the type certificate and it is to manufacture a B717 not any other series of the plane. MD or DC before the number designation stood for Douglas Corporation or McDonnel-Douglas. They no longer exist as they as Boeing purchased them. When a pilot files a flight plan the type of plane must be properly identified as it provides not just routing etc. but also accurate data about the plane type (FAA files) and procedures in the event of an emegency.

[BigDaddyLicious]

Boeing 717 Is actually MD-95... The suppose replacement of the older DC-9-30's. When Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas, the aircraft was almost ready to fly & during integration it's name was changed to Boeing 717

[usafisasome]

defferent linghts avaionics and engines

[rb21122b]

Great plane. Bad airline.

[patsmithj]

Why is the airline bad?

[transdrole]

Boing boing boing

[iflydelta1101]

it's boeing :)-

[TheAirplaneMaster]

Oh, that's a very good location. 27F was excellent as well. (as shown in my videos)

[TheAirplaneMaster]

I'm going to guess that was 25 or 26F. I was in 27F very recently and it was closer to the engine than this.

[AirChina981]

I'll be on the 717 in several days?I have seat 26F. is that a good location for viewing the wing and scenery?

[Elvin1202]

that was the last seat right? That boeing is comfortable? I never been on and I would like to know if they are comfortable

[pjm5678]

Ive flown on one of these when i went on hawaiian airlines from honolulu to maui kuluihui.

[jasonyeozhishen]

how i wish i can sit in the plane. BESIDE the engine.

[unclecoolie]

Enjoy these planes since these are officially the last of the McDonnell Douglas

[fptfootball07]

they aren't making anymore?

[unclecoolie]

No. The last one rolled out of assembly line in Long Beach, CA in 2006.

[fptfootball07]

are they going to make a new model to replace them?

[unclecoolie]

It's very doubtful Boeing will have anything smaller than the 737-600. Also, it wouldn't be Mcdonnell Douglas either since Boeing bought them out in '97.

[stfergus608]

those 717 have got bloody large engines

[codeman9793]

i flew Hawaiian air from Honolulu to kaui and this looks exactly alike so this is and 717

[windanthonystream]

This is definately a 717.... I once flew them for Airtran Airways. I know this engine and the amazing sound.

[lordvader3215]

Okay-it's definately a 717 because of 3 reasons.

1. MD80 and DC-9's JT8D engines sound way different

2. The wing is too small to be an MD80/90 wing and looks different

3. JT8Ds have inlet vanes and the "fan" on the JT8D does not appear to spin.

[JMG717]

Ok, the only people who should be replying here are those who KNOW that this is a Boeing 717 (MD-95, DC9-95..blah blah). I know this engine by heart, and that is definetely a BR715-58 engine which is found ONLY on the 717. The BR710-48 is found on the Gulfstream jets, and the BR725 is on the G650 jets... Do some research people

[airbuscrazy]

It is a Boeing 717. for all you people saying its a DC-9 series, or MD-80 series, rember, they're ALL DC-9's. Trust me though, that isn't a V2500, and the spinner cone is too pointed to be a JT8D.

[velocityflier16]

You are 110% Correct. Plus, there is no stator vanes and its not nearly as loud.

[eclipse245]

MD-90 10000%

[JMG717]

The Engine is a BR715 as evidenced by the spinner cone.. I have worked around BR715s before, and know the engines by heart.

[buckshotkiller]

Thats a V2500 engine only available on the MD-90!

[bigbird88]

It's a Boeing 717. You can tell by the engine.

[alaqmar1992]

how can u say this plane is boeing 717 bit not the MD 80 ? by it engines? how? what is the difference between boeing 717 and MD80? please reply friend

[bigbird88]

Because Boeing 717's are powered by Rolls Royce BR700, and Boeing MD-80's are powered by Pratt & Whitney JT8D's.

[darrenhenderson3]

@bigbird88 no durrh

[aznpinoy13]

yo thats not an md-80!!

[Boeing757200PF]

Nice video...this is not an MD-80 :)

[B787YV]

whats that little thing on the engine? is that what tells the engine vibration?

[truckinjeff]

I think that sensor monitors the intake air pressure and possibly the air temperature.

[854k]

Hey, I don't think that this is MD-80. On MD-80, you can't look at the fan directly because there is a static vane at the front.

[leonelp51]

yep thats true, but this one is an dc9 ( why ??? the wing .. ) without the static vane.

[crizmotek]

Yep, its not a JT8 which is on an md-80. you can tell because there are no inlet guide veins. looks like a v2500 which is on a md-90 or RR br715's which are on a md-95(aka 717). btw, that thing in the inlet that you see in the vid is called a PT2 sensor. measures air pressure which is then used to meter fuel.

[alexofhoth]

Beautiful shot!

[Kakashi67468]

Great view of the turbine!

[correiajunior007]

Thank's
