Actually, the only aircraft known to be haunted was Eastern Airlines N318EA - MSN 1018...which was never a part of the Delta fleet.

Moron.

[Bigone4]

Who are you calling a Moron?

The 727 was a legend, it will always outrank the stupid A380...

I remember the Delta 747 in early 70's and the big frist class cabin upstairs, awesome, I think it was after the Oct. 1973 oil embargo Delta sold them. I remember the baby DC-9 15 series, convair 880, the L1011 was also one of my favorites, great flim, brings back memories.

I was a brand new stew and only flew the L1011/15's for two years before they were taken to the desert, sold, ect...I LOVED that plane! Sure, the carts were heavy, but the large crews were fun to work with, the pilots were the BEST (shoutout to Capt. Hnk Panky!) and the design was one of a kind. There were elevators, a downstairs kitchen, spy trappings in case of danger...Yes, we would sigh and call it the "Tri-tanic" or L911 when we saw mechanics coming, but we all cried when she was gone :(

I didn't know that DC-8 was still in Delta's fleet when B757 and B767 appeared. Wow.. Nice thnx

U should say that the l-1011 is better than the 777!

[CeilingFans4UrLife]

(Do you have the Northeast airlines jingle? -- "Yellowbird"?

[comgeek24]

I thought it was the Eastern Airlines L-1011's that were haunted, supposedly after the crash of Flight 401?

Excellent video. Love the nostalgia. Perhaps it is just old age talking, but it seems like there was a wider variety back then -- now, most airliners look alike.  I miss the 727 -- so sleek and graceful. And the L-1011 -- distinct and huge but still graceful at the same time. Those were the days! Great work.
