That 767 at 4:48 looked like a giant. It is amazing to note that, among the wide-bodied jets, the 767 is one of the smallest aircraft at airports nowadays :))))))
The older airliners had class you could tell what ,who they were .What DC-8,DC-9 and 707,727,737,and who Douglas,Boeing aircraft and few form Lockheed . These engines had a sound that was music for a lot of the old the old school. What a great time it was then never to be seen again except here on you tube.
The engines are PW JT3D and aren't straight, are turbofan with low bypass, but are noisy, I really love the sound of this old birds, it's music for me!
I love the sound of four straight Pratt Whitney JT8D jet engines on a DC-8, taxying out for take-off. Especially on a airliner belonging to a flag carrier. That sound is no more! Enjoy....
@nemlou. I'm a Boeing pilot - ha. This is a DC-8-50 series. I was referring to a completely different airplane - the 767-200 with JT9D engines that JAL flies. It's a beautiful bird (as was the DC-8)!
in late 70s my parents flew from Jakarta - Spore using this airline, this aircraft. Great posting

これぞジェット旅客機ですね。幼いころは飛行機と言えばDC8かB707と言ったところでした。(すでにB747やDC10は飛んでいましたがこちらの方がすきでした。)スポットアウトする時のエンジン始動音や、離陸するときのエンジン音がたまりませんでした。
