McDonnell Douglas MD-80 Take Off

[kaomoodang]

F_ck !!!!!!! Greenpeace

[superfestiva]

rocket!!!!

[haitiano1982]

DIESEL !



[marcelodelagoXD]

Yeah looks like a rocket, Powerclimb!

[megagumball123]

Nice gear action

[pdowty68]

The engine smoke is almost my favorite thing about the md-80, the smoke is mot any worse for the environment, just visible pollution, not like the new jets with invisible pollution

[bamaslamma1003]

@XXXGhostGrenadeXXX They both use the same family of engines, the Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofan. The MD80 series planes used the JT8D-200 series of engines. They sound similar to the earlier version of the JT8D found on DC-9's, Boeing 727's, and 737-100 and 200 series planes.

[BPch1]

@bamaslamma1003 dead on summary about the engines, which def has alot to due with the exhaust pollution. one additional aspect i think is the low bypass factor in all of these engines, which contributes to the greater noise levels. MD-80 variants are probably the most likely today of disappearing commercial aircraft to be spotted. delta and american still regularly operate them in their fleets.

[marat85]

oh my god, look at that smoke coming out of the engines .....geeeee

[iAirsoft69]

i like how they are louder them some modern aircraft like 20 times the size

[gAbOdAzEr]

Ah no bueno, seguramente este avión aquí en la Ciudad de México no pasa la verificación ! jajaja XD

[Rexang1]

Spanair MD-80 in STAR ALLIANCE livery

[jegerproletar]

Star Alliance! :D

[madzane94]

Whoa.. that runway has a slope xD

I love how it seems like the md-80 takes off steep vertically xD

[madzane94]

Look at the fumes xD

Awesome

[MD80live]

¿Habeis visto algo más bonito que esto?

[aliceisapianist]

@MD80live Noooo, para mi, no hay avión mas bonito que el MD... Saludos

[cocomelastico]

@MD80live el DC-10 ;)

[lusinchi]

@MD80live mmmmmmm si.....las piernas de una mujer, el trasero de una mujer, etc etc....tu preguntaste y yo respondi xD jajajajaja

[allwedoissell]

Is this live or memorex? yeah I can't spell!

[USAF300]

DIRTY

[bbaker904]

A dream day would be spending an afternoon watching these great birds fly. Nice video

[Iris421989]

what a fail of a runway! look at the mountain in the middle of it!!!!!

[jwhyte67]

Seems pretty quiet for an MD-80

[moshrunners]

I wonder if this was Sunbreeze, that was in the Star Alliance livery :/

[hondacl0n3]

@moshrunners so fucken gay man calm the fuck down its just a plane i hate when gay ass people say shit like that what its jesus?! no boy, its just an MD-80

[moshrunners]

@hondacl0n3 Sorry what?

[hockeyman1119]

md 80 is the best aircraft

[kingneptune117]

sorry if im wrong but this pilot seems like he is a wannabe fighter pilot! He must have tanked back on the yoke full force there it looked like. Maybe thats how they do it in spain but not here in chicago.

[Butterz771]

wow.. I thought this was a game to start with! wierd illusion at the start lol

[RK831]

What's the safety record of this plane?

[AdamJLemon]

Gotta love the black exhaust...take that Al Gore!

[MD804LIFE]

@AdamJLemon HAHA Dude, that was the funniest thing I have read in a long time.. But even though I study environmental sciences, I support you on this one.. LOL

[rockinconcorde2]

@AdamJLemon if you like that look up concorde takeoff

[747johan]

rely nice!

[francescorossetto]

fantastic....really good

[AmericanAirlinesRule]

Was this the bird that crashed in Madrid last yr? RIP to a beautiful bird.

[leonelp51]

THAT WAS A NORMAL MD80 TAKE OFF !!! the MD80 haves a lot and i say A LOT of power ... is a beast climbing !

[frecciarossa91]

FANTASTIC!

[KYLEAIRWAYS]

I like all the smoke from the engines

[ojb1989]

This is a normal takoff for an md-80 as they are able to climb out with the nose high also the aircraft is obviously tail heavy (cos engines are there) so having a high nose dosnt seem very strange to me

[SueVlackey]

Sorry, ojb1989, it is not "obviously tail-heavy". Engine position has nothing to do with it being nose OR tail heavy. In fact being nose heavy causes an increase in the angle of attack as a result of the additional download on the tailplane.

The CofG is calculated well in advance of the take-off, and is dependent upon many parameters. SOP on the MD-80 series is to rotate to an angle of eight degrees to clear the tail, and then pull up to just under twenty degrees for the climbout.

[SueVlackey]

Further - the camera angle looking down the runway, and then looking up the flight path appears to give it a deck angle of some forty degrees. Only in the center portion of the video , is it pretty much correct.

That being said - your estimation of the MD-80 aircraft is correct: a lightly-loaded 83 fitted with the JT8D-219 engines will climb like a scalded cat.l It is quite a powerful aircraft, carries a competitive load, and is still in use by many airlines world-wide.

[SouthWestAirFan]

OMG what a horrible take off he took off in the grass good heavens i feel bad for those passengers that were on board they must have been shitting bricks.

[sbb924]

took off in the grass lol

[tangelloboy]

horrible takeoff

[headz51230]

Yeah dude that was terrible.. wtf was that guy thinking?

[SWATutorials]

U R A MORON they are supposed to takeoff like that. Go fly to Palm Springs and look at them takeoff!!!

U Should know better!!!

[SWATutorials]

U R Still A DickWad..... ASSWIPE!!!

[SWATutorials]

umm dude sorry for calling u a dickwad and asswipe. ha ha thanks :)

[SWATutorials]

Yea. Probably get a nice juicy cheeseburger there :)

[jokerscommander]

wtf the plane looks like its from flightsim when its on the beginning of the runway

[lordzboi]

i totally agree with you i was like WTF

[crowdcor225]

The runway looked very uneven... maybe it was just from the camera...

[64Aggressor]

alot of runways are like that and its easier to see if you look at it from this angle

[headz51230]

yeah if you sit down at the end of I think Concourse C, possibly D? in ATL there's a hill in in the middle of 26L that planes look like they launch off of, looks cool.

[leonelp51]

its and md-83 .... 1980 ...

[cgyfan34]

nice shot

[gilly2416]

Damn put some clean oil in the engine or its flying with diesel hahahaha Just a joke

[landau96]

that maybe was the plane that crashed at madrid in the summer cus is was spanair star alliance operated by lufthansa

[piloto88ed]

yes men ... maybe this is a sunbriezee

[Z06ified]

Gotta love that soot trail from the old JT-8D's! Al Gore would not approve.  These new engines are boring, all environmentally friendly and quiet. I like noise, smoke and POWER!

[foxtrot789]

LOL... I like this guy. Power is beautiful, hence why you probably have a Z06 and why I have a GTO ;)

[headz51230]

Just like AG rides around in a GII

[channingtatums]

cool

[Lakerplayer8]

star alliance livery...very cool

[Cuberiuxas]

That black thing is very hot, squeezed air.

[redsunset6]

that looks like the one that crashed in madrid on 20th august 2008

[alaqmar1992]

whats that black thing comming out from the engines? please reply

[Aaron1701NX]

it's a soot-laden exhaust trail. aircraft equipped with JT8D engines can usually be seen taking off with dark vapor trailing behind them.

[bigblocke]

is that the case when the engines havent reached the right temperature?

[Aaron1701NX]

i'm not so sure if temperature has anything to do with it, i have yet to see an md-80 take off without a ton of smoke trailing behind it. i thought i did once, but it turned out to be a Boeing 717 :)

[bigblocke]

ok, guess its normal then.

[AdamJLemon]

That sure has hell isn't vapor...that's tree-killing, Al Gore-protesting, eye-burning black as night jet exhaust :-).

[BoeingMD11]

Yeah! Go Maddog! Love the way they smoke!

[HouseroDeIbiza]

yeah...fuck when u take off in this airplane ur just shooted into the air u feel ur gettin int the seat its just an amazing scary airplane !!

[fixedwingtofly01]

is this the one that crashed in madrid?

[lilnigga87]

hey fixed when i saw the video i was thinkn the same thing i think it is, cuz the spanair that crashed had star alliance livery. r.i.p to those who died sad...

[mckeithn09]

THIS IS A MD-82 MY FRIEND

[TvWijlre]

woow what a smoke

[DjosueD]

whoa! What positive rate of climb was that?? Like 20 degrees? Is that normal for the Super80?

Anyways!! I really like the clip!!

[AdamJLemon]

Quite normal. Light, powerful planes such as the MD-80 series can support such a steep climbout rate while maintaining good airspeed. You won't see a 737 rear up like that, that's for sure.

[DjosueD]

Yeah thanks for the info. Is just really amazing you know. It amazes me every  time :)

[pilotboy5]

it is really smokey but the first part of that runway looks like it's downhill.

[MikeGinny]

Wow! Smoky for an MD-80!
