Back in 1982 I flew with fellow Kubota Dealers from Tokyo to London on a DC8 refueling in Moscow. Anchorage was snowbound although we had refueled there a week earlier. It was a very long version of the DC8 with six projector screens for the in flight movie. The Cannon Ball Run. It was early March. All we saw out of the window was snow. High in the clouds it was very smooth.

Did she get a water salute?

This is so great to watch, especially without all the mostly unnecessary, obnoxious, and redundant narration you usually get with these kinds of things. These cheesy 90s synth music just makes it that much better 😊

Love this video! Thanks so much for sharing. The bowling shoe livery has got to be the best livery on an aircraft, especially the 747, 727 and DC-10. Probably best logo too - I've always loved the many images-in-one ("N", "W" and compass that points northwest 😍)

Wow!

was on that flight. 2008. awhile ago now

The visuals on them simulators were pretty amazing for that time, I'm guessing this was 80s or early 90s.. yet we had to wait till 1997 to get something similar or at least 96. Gone all weird now though because 20 years ago we had ATC and various other features that have vanished from the later flightsims or have not been as well done xD but killer graphics..

@37:00 WHERE ARE THE 2024 OSHA REPS

@31:10 the Japanese are so freaking sweet. We make fun of our domestic airlines but the Japanese show such an appreciation for how far we have come in creating and pioneering this industry. And @11:26 was awesome people watching of MSP in the 90s. Anyways God bless Japan and God bless the USA

The music brings back old 80s vibes with NWA.....

Thanks for this video !! I especially lpved the pilots doing their checklist in the cockpit. I sorely miss Northwest and all the airlines that have have gone out of business or merged. I miss the glory days of aviation. There must be some way, that we can get back the fun and excitement of air travel again.😔

9:38 what epic footage and sound!!

When did JAL retire the DC-8?

i CAN FLY THIS BLIMP NO LIMBS NO CO POILT SHIT IS SNAIL AVIATION

Too bad the flying public is a bunch of disgusting animals now.

Nice to watch all you guys in your jobs. May the Good Lord above watches over you all in the aircraft and on the Land. ❤ 🎉 Watching from New Zealand.

They just bring the oldest A380 qantas to service

I know Neptune Aviation uses 8 or 9 (depending on the source) for aerial firefighting out west

Great to see 757s without winglets !!!❤ And the Air Tahiti Nui A340 had one of the most beautiful liveries. ❤❤❤ The American Airlines " aluminum can" livery was so stunning !!! I hated that the company changed it to those red and blue " piano keys".😮 Did you work at LAX ? Because I noticed that this footage was on the tarmac. What was your job ?

My favorite plane! And favorite airliner

B777の登場はB747-400に代わる最新鋭機で、その登場を心待ちしワクワクした記憶があります... そのB777も退役が進み、もう少しで姿を消そうとしています...

The double bed suites were actually on Singapore A380s rather than Qantas

I never knew Elyse Keaton from Family Ties was an architect and a Northwest flight attendant too ? There she is 11:56 , blond hair and everything going to work .

Memories. Always too that Northwest DC-10 with that red painted number 2 tail engine always got your attention.

Goodyear bye😔😔

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopooooooooooo

Why do Americans insist on calling Tom Bradly International Terminal.....(Airport ) 🤔

Fascinating video.

Great Video I am a 747 GEEK I live 3 miles from ORD between 2 runways and on arrival they are 1800 feet up and you know that sound and I always look up.

I would give my right tit to even see one in person. I’m from the Scottish highlands and have never flown in anything but work and coastguard helicopters and poxy wee a319/20s. To fly on a 747 of any variant would be amazing, but the SP is something very special.

Unexpected surprise. Thank you.

I didn’t want this video to end. Such amazing footage. I’d just started my airline career (Sept 2001) on the ramp. Did it for 2 years and then became an FA. Ramp views were the absolute best. I miss the Silver AA livery so much. And Northwest - like seeing an old friend. The industry is so drab compared to how it used to be. This era was the beginning of the end for many airlines. Thanks for sharing.

5:32 cool how much the wings drop as they stop producing lift

Sad.

Too many babbling selfies about themselves and not enough blimp.

Name of the instrumentals at 12:53, 29:30 and 47:06?

What a beautiful ship!! I miss those gorgeous machines!

This captain is not one that I would like to fly with. He is going on a long haul and he seems already tense at the gate taxiing

I understand wanting to progress and move on with modern technology. But I really feel they should’ve kept one GZ20 airship for historical purposes

I worked for them for five years and the FA's were a lot of disgusting pigs. What AHoles!

Farewell, you brought joy to all.

north west was about the only air line that could take care of the Dc10 and have no problems with it

Flying with an A380, is like a Wish to become true, for some of us! Some day... maybe...🙂

Id say 1994,95 video

We used to chase it on our bikes at nite to see every light design that would be displayed on it as it flew over San Leandro 😂. Great story,great memories 👍

6:11 Boeing 757 Aeroméxico

They really were absolutely beautiful aircraft, comparible only to 747 and Concorde in their uniqueness and ability to awe. I rewatched those pilots so many times just so impressed with seeing how well they knew their aircraft, it was like they were all a part of it, they were really flying it.

Soyons admiratifs er reconnaissants pour toujours. à chacun chacune qui ont fait vivre le seul avion supersonique commercial franco britannique 🛩️❤️. 2023. merci pour cette incroyable vidéo

I have never noticed how America these were
