AWESOME!!! Love the sound of your camera! Capturing the music of two JT8D-200's in all their glory. Long live the Mad Dog. Hopefully the MD80 will be around for a long time to come.
qwik question when taking off . why does the engines sound like they power down ? i was just wondering when i play fsx im full throttle till i take off then push the throttles to 80 percent .
Great video! I have been fortunate to fly on them with Continental, TWA, AA, and Delta. 2 weeks ago I was seated in 10A and it was extremely quiet. I usually sit near the rear of an MD-80 series A/C though to experience the sound of the P&W JT8D's!
damn! that's the longest and fastest takeoff I've ever witnessed! one thing I will never do again is sit in the back of a crj 700 or any t-tailed regional jet. the noise is excruciating!
@Iluvbadgers during the summer... almost all planes need greater takeoff distance due to the hot summer air. hot air is less dense than cold air. as a result pilots need to go to full thrust so they can get off the ground. in additon md's are known to eat up a lot of runway before takeoff..since they are required to use up 7500ft before lift off... full thrust is needed to get off the ground.
@frtguy80 My guess is the autothrottle was inoperative and the pilot monitoring was working the engines manually. Usually the A/T is engaged right at the beginning of the takeoff roll and the throttles "clamp" at the specified thrust setting after reaching 50 or 60 knots.
@jm45d It isn't just the home of the corporate office, it is the base of operations for what was, until a few weeks ago, the largest airline in the world. It is also why Hartsfield is consistently the busiest airport in the world.
At any rate, I'm flying from Atlanta to New Orleans next month on an MD 88. I've flown in rickety ancient CH-46 helicopters in Iraq, but I'm nervous about this flight. Go figure. Thanks @shoupmill for posting this video.
Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, American, wait!! Did I see an American!! holt shit! danm delta, lay off a bit..
I get nervous when flying, so i figure that i'll watch videos like this everyday until the flight, so perhaps it won't be so scary. It's good to hear the noise of the engines, for it's the unexpected noises that get me scared, like when the wheels come up, or with turbulance. And of course how high the plane gets up to, that's not fun either. Wish me luck!
No they should not replace the md-80 is one of the best sounding planes and a flight on those is way more fun than the 737-700,and 800s. But sadly its happining........
Actually, what you heard was the autothrottles taking control of the takeoff thrust setting. MD-80's are known for engine flameout if the N1 and EPR reading get too high (over-temp). MD-80's never take off at full power; if they were to, especially on a long runway (such as the 11889 ft Rwy 27R as shown in the video), they would burn out the engines.
As a former firefight working air fields, if a plane had engine flame out issues the FFA would not certify the enigine for use. Auto throttle is for fuel saving only. It allows minimal fuel use for take off. Throttle settings are ajustable for weight or wind conditions. All pilots can overide to full at any time for any duration.
I am really worried that i have to go on the MD 88 on monday. It might be a A300 A320 or A300 which i am hoping it is. however it it might be an MD88 can anyone tell me if this aircraft is good cus i really dont like MD's.
The MD88 has an excellent safety record. My brother flew them for more than a decade during a long airline career and he considered the MD88 his favorite. The video was taken right next to the aft engines. Otherwise, they are remarkably quiet. They are every bit as safe as the Airbus aircraft you mentioned.
Im not botherd about the noise at all i love the noise! lol espaecially take off!!
Anyway, i have actually just found out that i am going on the A321 so i feel better. But if i did go on the MD88 then i would feel better after that comment.
The one reason i wanted to go with Airbus is that i could record the take off and see the engnes. But the MD88 is rear mounted.
Thankyou anyway. I shall have the video on here in a few weeks =]
@ATCOTractor yeah, man, they are pretty safe these birds!!! I can only think of a couple of major accidents involving the MD-88 off the top of my head (The Madrid one in 2008 and the Alaska Airlines off the USA west coast) while I can remember about 10 at least involving most of the other usual aircraft types, 737, A320, 747, MD-11 aka DC-10 etc. And this plane has been on air for a long time!!!!
@ATCOTractor uncrashable???? ummmm, there are more accidents involving fly-by-wire systems recently than hidrolic systems (such as boeing's)... that's why some ppl say 'if it's not boeing i'm not going' :-D
@ATCOTractor the fly-by-wire system has a problem... the computer will try to do what it wants, and in extreme situations, if you don't know how to interact with the computer system in an out of the ordinary case, you are fucked!!!! not the same with boeing... oh no!!!! I hate the joystick planes, as I call them!!! :-)
@ATCOTractor sorry mate, but i don't see why you got all aggressive there... I was giving my opinion, that's all, and very gracefully if I may say so... No, I am not a pilot, but I am the team leader of an air traffic control center in a major european airport and I know a bit about planes... so... shut up??? thanks
@ATCOTractor by the way, if I got all excited and stuff it is not coz I was angry or anything... I just like the subject and think ppl here are good sports... I guess I was wrong. :-)
@ATCOTractor MD80 is one of the finest airliners of all time, and the descendant of the mighty Douglas DC-9 series, an aircraft that helped shape aviation as we know it today. Whatever aircraft you ended up on I trust it was a pleasant journey. PS...heck with EADS products, if it isn't Boeing I'm not going :)
Yo I am flying a Delta 1854 from ATL-BOS on July 1st, are we on the same plane?, I am also flying MCO-ATL before that and on the 7th im flying a 737-800 BOS-MCO
Just flew one home tonight from ATL to BOS. A little choppy due to all the foul weather but I love the "Mad Dog"! Wondering when Delta will be retiring them. The one I was on is over 20 years old...
Man, there were alot of delta's (and an American) waiting for takeoff on that runway. Was that runway being just used for takeoffs or both takeoffs and landings. Also i think i saw a 732 waiting in that long line
True - the MD-80s (nicknamed "Mad Dogs") are getting a bit old, but don't worry, though: Delta and AA (who fly a lot of them) are gradually but progressively retiring them in favor of 737-700/800s.
764-400s are new (being introduced as recently as 2000/01), and are mainstay on most of Delta's trans-Antlantic and highest-density transcon routes; they'll most likely be around for maybe 20 or so years.
What's there to worry about ? Delta's MD88's were delivered between '87 and '93 and the aircraft has a great safety record...better in fact than the 737.
Do have have concerns about the 757 also? Most of them are around 20 years old as well.
Another aircraft with a very safe flying history. As a matter of fact most of the incidents involving her had to do with pilot error and not with the aircraft.
ehm yes u can if u are in the very last seat. may differ per version and/or airline but hell yeah u can sit next to and engine ! just to clear it up :)
yeah i love delta, it's nice to fly them to DAB (Daytona Beach) to visit my bro. they usually have md-88's, with the occasional CRJ-200 and B 737. the real treat though is landing in atlanta. there's another plane landing parallel to you! and that "fly delta jets" certainly gives a nostalgic feel to the airport, doesn't it?
I, myself, am more of a fan of the JT8D Basic series... Sure I like the sound of the JT8D-200, but to me, it seems like they took a good, smoky, noisy, greasy engine and tweaked it to make it more environmentally friendly, and that, my friends, is not what the JT8D is about.
I simply favor the CFM56 over the JT8D. When Boeing came out with the 737 Classic (-300/400/500), the aircraft was re-engined. McDonnell-Douglas should've re-engined the DC-9 with the CFM56 beginning with the DC-9-80 series .
No, Fleet Commonality was the selling point for the 737. NOT the engine. Southwest didn't order the 737-300 because of its quieter engine. The main reason was because it would cost very little to train pilots. They all knew how to fly the 737 already. Nobody buys an airplane because of it's engine. I have never heard of an operator who chose one aircraft over another because "it has a quieter engine."
But the JT8D-200 Are WAYYYYY more fun and jet engine sounding than the CFM56 will ever dream of being. And i fly the M88's and they are not "fuel hogs" and most call them.
I've been through atlanta countless times. It is indeed a huge airport and very busy. Look on wikipedia, apparently the sign was not lit until recently.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You compare the climb of an MD-88 to a 757. The MD-88 is an aircraft that I won't be sad about when Delta FINALLY gets rid of it. Think of a noisy sardine can.
dude.....that comment was totally stupid. Why even compare an MD-88 with a 757? First of all. a JT8D-212 from an Md88 only spits out around 21,000 to 23,000 pounds of thrust while a 757s PW 40 Sometimes and or the RB211s spit around 45,000 pounds of thrust. Two different aircraft developed for two different size markets. thats like comparing a 15 passenger Ford Club Wagon van with a 45 foot, 55 passenger MCI Luxury coach...it jus dont make any fuckin sense....
Do you notice the long line of planes waiting to take off?!?! Thats the busiest airport rite there....

True - the MD-80s (nicknamed "Mad Dogs") are getting a bit old, but don't worry, though: Delta and AA (who fly a lot of them) are gradually but progressively retiring them in favor of 737-700/800s.

I love the 767-400, how long is Delta going to keep that around?
jmkpns 3 years ago
764-400s are new (being introduced as recently as 2000/01), and are mainstay on most of Delta's trans-Antlantic and highest-density transcon routes; they'll most likely be around for maybe 20 or so years.

737-800s are boring compared to the MD80 IMO. 764s though are a bit interesting as they aren't too common.

What's there to worry about ? Delta's MD88's were delivered between '87 and '93 and the aircraft has a great safety record...better in fact than the 737.
Do have have concerns about the 757 also? Most of them are around 20 years old as well.

No worries. I just flew one last Thursday from Atlanta to Boston. Very smooth ride and like the other posters have said, a very safe aircraft!
Enjoy your flight!

Flew a Delta 757-200 from Boston to Atlanta.
Another aircraft with a very safe flying history. As a matter of fact most of the incidents involving her had to do with pilot error and not with the aircraft.

Next Generation 737s have a good safety record

nothin wrong w/ delta but i hate that plane because on my last flight all i saw was engine.

yeah i love delta, it's nice to fly them to DAB (Daytona Beach) to visit my bro. they usually have md-88's, with the occasional CRJ-200 and B 737. the real treat though is landing in atlanta. there's another plane landing parallel to you! and that "fly delta jets" certainly gives a nostalgic feel to the airport, doesn't it?

I, myself, am more of a fan of the JT8D Basic series... Sure I like the sound of the JT8D-200, but to me, it seems like they took a good, smoky, noisy, greasy engine and tweaked it to make it more environmentally friendly, and that, my friends, is not what the JT8D is about.

I simply favor the CFM56 over the JT8D. When Boeing came out with the 737 Classic (-300/400/500), the aircraft was re-engined. McDonnell-Douglas should've re-engined the DC-9 with the CFM56 beginning with the DC-9-80 series .
CFM56 engines are more efficient
cubsrule2040 2 years ago
Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda, pal.
JMG717 2 years ago
The CFM56s are quieter and more fuel efficient.
That's why mostly, even the 737 Classics outclassed the MD-80s, except the MD-83 and MD-87
cubsrule2040 2 years ago
No, Fleet Commonality was the selling point for the 737. NOT the engine. Southwest didn't order the 737-300 because of its quieter engine. The main reason was because it would cost very little to train pilots. They all knew how to fly the 737 already. Nobody buys an airplane because of it's engine. I have never heard of an operator who chose one aircraft over another because "it has a quieter engine."
JMG717 2 years ago
I know. It's just that McDonnell Douglas should've replaced the JT8Ds on the DC-9s with CFM56s beginning with the DC-9-80 series
cubsrule2040 2 years ago
why?!
nfs1012 2 years ago
CFM56s have better fuel economy than JT8Ds.
cubsrule2040 2 years ago
But the JT8D-200 Are WAYYYYY more fun and jet engine sounding than the CFM56 will ever dream of being. And i fly the M88's and they are not "fuel hogs" and most call them.

Actually Atlanta is Delta's main and largest hub. Delta is actually based in Atlanta.

I've been through atlanta countless times. It is indeed a huge airport and very busy. Look on wikipedia, apparently the sign was not lit until recently.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
You compare the climb of an MD-88 to a 757. The MD-88 is an aircraft that I won't be sad about when Delta FINALLY gets rid of it. Think of a noisy sardine can.
jmkpns 3 years ago
It ain't noisy if you sit in front of the wings! Plus they look cool and the 3-2 seating is a plus.
lordvader3215 3 years ago
dude.....that comment was totally stupid. Why even compare an MD-88 with a 757? First of all. a JT8D-212 from an Md88 only spits out around 21,000 to 23,000 pounds of thrust while a 757s PW 40 Sometimes and or the RB211s spit around 45,000 pounds of thrust. Two different aircraft developed for two different size markets. thats like comparing a 15 passenger Ford Club Wagon van with a 45 foot, 55 passenger MCI Luxury coach...it jus dont make any fuckin sense....
