Nice video, it almost brought tears to my eyes. But fail you skipped the rotation.

I wish i could be on a similar last flight fx Delta's DC-9-50s but that will be hard since i live in Denmark!

@ATITANIC1992 - Yeah was trying to take photos and video at the same time, so I edited out that mess.

@ford9572, Watch your language pal!!! You LOVE the BUZZSAW sound of the RR RB-211s on the L-1011s Don't you!, British engines and instruments are MUCH better than you think!! Delta NEVER repowered any of their L-1011s with Pratt & Whitney engines, Not only does the RB-211 SOUND great, It's also quite reliable!!! So, Watch what you say about British machinery Dumb Jackass!!!

[ford9572]

@jonnybee48 No it wouldn't have!!!! British engines & instrumentation are nothing but COMPLETE, WORTHLESS, FUCKING JUNK!!? You Dumb-Ass Limey Faggot!!!! There's NEVER been a British engine or instrument that I've ever loved!!!! Only foreign engine I like is German!!!! But AMERICAN ENGINES AND INSTRUMENTS FUCKING KICKASS!!! YEE-HAA!!!

It's a bloody shame that such a versatile bird should be pensioned off because of progress in other areas, namely engine technology and avionics. The basic configuration of the '27 was sound in many ways; however with some re-engineering it could have been a lot better and cornered the short-haul market AND the transatlantic routes that the Airbus 319/320 has been so successful in doing. British engines and instrumentation would have made SO much difference!
