Northwest DC-9 Takeoff from Boston @ sunrise

[flyinghow]

Love it! I have have flown the DC-9 many times, but need to make it a point to get on another before Delta takes them all away!

[MosJada]

I'd buy that for a dollar.

You can see the landing light come on and fold forward at 1:01.

Nice view of Boston Harbor. 

[54spiritedwill54]

Wow, what a great sound indeed! Lovely views as well, well done :)

[coolsan]

Great video!

[Cyberium]

Sorry dylanhelmer, but (duk309) is right about the advanced instrumentation in the cockpit of the B717. The engines aren't Pratt & Whitney JT8D's, but Rolls Royce BR715 engines, thus giving a quieter ride. I love Boeing, but I don't like how they bought Mc Donnell Douglas, and phased them out. The B717 would have been a great seller, but Boeing execs said no. B737's sales are the bread and butter of Boeing, and despite the power of the 757, Boeing halted production to stop competition.

@Cyberium So what USairline do you fly on that has not had a crash?

[bestbets1]

At the start of the video is an Air-Tran aircraft! I wwill NEVER fly with them after what happened to its predecessor- ValuJet and flight 592

[Peronik123]

i love this sound!

[TheChicanoboi]

it looks scary if your next to the engine cuz i think i might sucked in or something

[runway34r]

you cant be serious

[meteors6]

yeah but the DC9 is A LOT better than the 717

[dylanhelmer]

guys theres hawaiian they fly the 717 but it is basicallyl the dc9. same concept, and same style. i think even same cockpit for the most part

[duk309]

HAHA. The cockpit configuration isn't even remotly similar. All 717s can operate with Advanced RNAV and RVSM capabilities, something the DC-9s cannot do. The DC-9s have 0 glass instrumatation, no FMS.  The 717 is the most similar to the MD-11 in cockpit configuration.

[dylanhelmer]

@duk309 are u an oregonian?

[stjasi71]

I'll miss the diesel 9's...

[acthetech]

I love those JT8d

[Jagermeister196]

Which airlines still operate the DC-9?

[KYLEAIRWAYS]

only Northwest

[maverick967]

@Jagermeister196 In the US Northwest Airlines and USA Jet Airline. otherwise theres quite a few flying in other countries

[bbaker904]

[planes100]

[Ryan198416]

Love those early morning takeoffs from Boston! I have a 6:30 am departure to Pheonix on Aug 6th =D

[peteboy1113]

man i love those engines. good vid. i will miss the -dc 9.

[hammondmando]

what a great sound! thanks for posting this

[atherrien95]

every time i have been on a plane, the pilots takeoff, and when they are about FIVE feet from the ground (or so it feels) they start turning. I always feel like the plane is going to tip-stall.

[gobuzzrobotics]

just the way i like my takeoffs-noisy and weel done!!

[gobuzzrobotics]

long live the diesle 9 (and the airtran 717!)

[zeeknc]

I love the JT8D...a sad day when there may be no more

[kenersej]

very nice!!!:)

[TUInordic]

Nice dude! Fantastic vid man

5*

[tjisnumbaone]

you were close to the engine...nice and fast takeoff

[acthetech]

man but the dc9 jd8t engines are noisy one day i was seated in the first seat and i heard the engines roar

[metroliner2]

Fabolous video, thank you! I really miss my DC-9 flying :-(

[merc340sr]

I thought I was the only one who enjoyed this distinct DC9 noise! I already miss it as few DC9s are flown to and from home, Montreal Trudeau Airport. (YUL)

[JMG717]

I love..and hate, how to date, nobody has ever captured the full sounds of the JT8D. The thing is so loud, that it muffles a lot of recording devices so that all you hear is the buzzing sound, but if you listen closely, you can hear the noise of the engine

[BibKnelg787]

That´s a great vid. Love this "noise" and I´ll miss them when theýll be scrapped!

[JMG717]

EXCELLENT Video.. Great Noise.. I miss these smoky JT8Ds.. I'll miss them even more when NW stops flying them..

[peteboy1113]

dude this old gas clunker, is still flyin.have mercy,love this old girl, great old plane.dc9-727, man i miss them.

[rubke1975]
