OY-KGA and SE-DBX was the first DC-9-41 delivered to SAS. They where called "prototypes", and had some features not equipped on the rest of the -41 fleet, amongst other - separate ground spoiler panels (that was disabled, and not used). Fantastic to see it is still in use. Credit to the airplane and the care it has received during all these years!
Definitely an oldy, but GOODIE!!! This video REALLY brings back memories flying on an NWA DC-9. NWA used this A/C significantly out of Houston Hobby Airport, but later replaced it w/ the CRJs and A320s out of Bush Intercontinental or IAH. ironically, I also flew many times on this leg from Memphis to ORD. Nice video!!!
So ist es. Die heutige N751NW wurde als OY-KGA 1968 neu an SAS ausgeliefert. Soweit ich weiß sind alle noch verbleibenden -41 ex SAS Flieger die jetzt bei NWA (Delta) fliegen.
Ich bin 1995 mit einer DC-9-41 von SAS (Gardar Viking, SE-DAS) von LYR nach TOS geflogen. Solange wir über Spitzbergen waren, hat der Pilot eine Höhe von etwa 600 m eingehalten wegen der schönen Landschaft und ist nachher hochgezogen. Das war ein schöner Flug!
Well, they use the thrust reversers to help slow the a/c down so they can expedite the runway at the assigned taxiway. A/c do not necessarily use the entire runway.
Heard this flight attendant on your vid of takeoff from memphis - was he as cute as his accent?

This is a textbook landing, the way throttle goes to idle, together with the picture of the runway out the window, as the pilot flares. Perfect 10 !

I still think its sad how delta is getting rid of the dc9-30's and 40's but atleast their keeping the dc9-50's

Ist das eine Ex-SAS-DC-9? Meines Wissens wurde die Serie -41 nur von SAS und JAS als Neuflugzeug beschafft.
