N784NC Taking off from MSP en route to STL - St. Louis International Airport. The noise from the engine "muffled" my camera, so at full throttle, all you can really hear is the fan above mach 1 speed making the buzzsaw.

  • Ancient? I'll fly on a DC-9 before an A320 any day. Especially NW (Delta).

  • Is that a C130 from 1:09 to 1:13??? Awsome!

  • Yup... Sure is.. I didn't even notice that, lol

  • I took the DC-9s and 727s for granted and per a recent AAL documentary, their MD-80s...their workhorse...are now considered "Fuel Hogs" and ripe for replacement...have taken those for granted too. Experienced a unique Reverse Thrust Pushback on an NWA DC-9 back around 1986, the only time. But always enjoyed the sound upon startup of any plane with fuselage-mounted engs, though I sure wish I had a 707 ride with their JT3D 18k

    thrust engs. Does the JT3D sound on the OUTSIDE like these or similar?

  • I would say that I had taken the DC-9 for granted as well, that is until I had the opportunity to take this flight. I was able to video record everything so that I may look back. I suppose the only opportunity you may get to fly on a 707 with JT3D is to go on Saha Air.

  • I'm 12 my first flight was on Aserca Airlines (Venezuela) It was a Dc9 that day changed my life I started to love flying and... now I want to be a pilot, I know that some day i will be flying a BOEING that's my dream since that day of the dc-9.t the limit is the sky!!!

  • @JMG717 A bit more specifically, it's a C-130E :-)

  • N890E said “The longer take-off roll and shallower climb has to do with payload & the density altitude which is related to atmospheric humidity.” There are no performance computations with humidity penalties, its aircraft weight, pressure altitude and air temperature, runway contaminents and inoperative equipment.
