  • Correction: The name of the airport is Seattle-Tacoma International. Also known as Seatac Airport. Great video though...

  • its just like how the ICAO code for San Francisco International Airport is KSFO

  • MD80'S are quiet thats what i like about them compared to the 737 with engines right in your face! and whats with the vroom vroom vroom!! during taxi

  • lol imagine sitting on the very back seat of the MD-80

    that would be even louder!

  • were you flying in on runway 34R(L) or 16L(R)?

  • 16L(R)

  •  your lucky the tailfin didnt break

  • the MD-80's are a great aircraft...too bad they're not gonna be around much longer...but i have had some great rides on them...from 20-30 min. segments to about 3hrs.

  • @WiiVideoFan2007 It depends on whether it is an older or newer 737. The 737-100 and 200 series planes had JT8D low-bypass turbofan engines just like the MD80. The newer 737-300 and all currently manufactured 737's use the GE CFM56 high-bypass turbofan. Very different sound.

  • alaska airlines got rid of them. now it is american's turn

  • uhmm.. Did you record this on your phone?

  • This is one of the best MD80 videos on Youtube. Great approach, and the sound is great too. Nice to hear those engines spooling up on auto throttle during the base turn to adjust the speed according to ATC instructions.

  • gosh... i really missed those MadDogs!!!!!

    thank you for the video!

  • I do not agree on the fact that MD's are difficult to land. Hard landings can be the result of weather or pilot skills or a combination of them. Some pilots who are quite good, prefer to land harder and others have the soft touch...it is most of the times the man not the machine

  • nice video!

  • It depeneds where you sit on the 737, but I reckon it would be whinier and with a louder reverse thrust. Why do you ask?
