Guys, I’m a local and I have visited this plane multiple times over the years. It has recently become more popular across social media and more people have been visiting it. I just ask anyone who does visit to please be respectful and don’t vandalize or take anything. This place is like a time capsule, just look at how clean the hangars are, and how everything seems to just be stuck in time, free of trash or any graffiti. Please, let’s keep it this way 🙏

That aircraft was one of TWA's old aircraft from AA's purchase in 2000. I worked for AA 21 years and all of the A/C in the AA Fleet did not have the galley in front of the rear 4 seats on the left side. The galley was behind all of the two seats on the left side. I hired on in 1984 and the original configuration was 12 FC seats and 133 seats in coach. then expanded to 16FC seats 125 in coach order to give coach passengers more legroom.

That’s not an old twa. It’s N428 AA. Came into service 10/28/86 for AA. Probably worked on that 1 hundreds of times. Hired on as AMT in 85.Retired last year

So, Those facilities are the Old Puerto Rico Aviation Maintenance institute. They moved the school to Fajardo now (around 2020-2021).The plane is a MD82 and it was manufactured in November 1986. AA donated it to the school in March 2009 to help train new aircraft mechanics. The plane actually flew in from Tulsa Oklahoma. It was just retired due to age and it being old technology. I am lucky to have trained on that plane when it was fully together, the only thing missing from it were the engines. I can say I have some good memories working on the plane and inside the hangars and classrooms. thanks to that plane and that school I am one of the thousands of puerto rican aircraft mechanics that earned our certificate there.

Been a flight attendant for American for 25 years and I can’t say I’ve ever gotten to walk on a wing! 👏🏼 I’m sure I worked this very plane many times. American called these MD-80s “Super 80s” which is what the “S80” stood for on the safety card you found. Somebody blew off the tail cone which is lying under the fuselage. It was used as an emergency exit but during normal operations, we used the stairs for boarding/deplaning and the cleaners would come up thru those stairs as well. At one time, we had about 400 of these MD-80s in our fleet. Major piece of AA’s history. Thanks for sharing. She flew millions of miles and may she rest in peace 🫶🏼

@@michaelc3977Good job showcasing to the world just how ignorant and wrong you are. There is no such variant of the DC-9 Super series, designated "80" (second era of the DC-9 similar to how the B737 has entered it's fourth series since the B737-100) called the "MD-80". There is the MD-81, MD-82, MD-83, MD-87, MD88 and MD-90. After Boeing's acquisition of the dying manufacturer Mcdonald Douglas, they made a shorter version, akin to the original DC-9 called the Boeing 717.

Pretty cool find! The reason they quit using them is because the airframe lost it's airworthiness from metal fatigue but they can still rebuild and reuse the engines and avionics for other planes and that's the reason they are missing now. The plane is just scrap metal now.

The production for the Boeing 727 began in 1964 until 1984. Many of them were used for flights from Florida to Puerto Rico. The last time I flew in one was in the early 90s and no they did not have TVes. However the Boeing 707 is the oldest jet which I flew in back in the 1960's when I was a young boy. Those flights were 3 and 1/2 hours long from N.Y. to P.R. The airlines would place all the children flying alone together in one section of the Boeing 707. That Boeing 727 was the worst because there was space for walking. Those steps that you saw in the back of the plane was how passengers boarded the plane back in the 1960s because there were no moving ramps to the airplanes back in the day. I love your videos you are doing wonderful work! I miss my beautiful Puerto Rico but your vlogs help a great deal, God Bless.

I just stumbled across this channel. She's interesting, intelligent, dorky funny (which is the best kind of humor) and she's gorgeous. I'm subscribing. 😃😃🤪

I did train there when I was in the military. Was a very active Naval Station, when you actually see F15 Flying over

That stair in the tail of the plane was a standard feature on the DC-9 and MD-80 series airplanes. Back when this was built, there were still a lot of airports around that didn't have jetways -- just a door where you walked out across the tarmac to the plane. So some airlines boarded the plane through the tail stair instead of bringing an airstair to the main door. It also served as an additional emergency exit. And as far as the television screens that dropped out of the ceiling: They did have them then. But most MD-80s were not equipped with them, because they were used mostly on flights that weren't long enough to watch a whole movie during the flight.

Wow, Frank In Upstate N.Y. HERE. I think that's A 727 or A Vickers " VC10" from the 70's ! Very Cool! the Jet engines were on the Tail. and they were Stripped off. and the rear Stabilizers. Nice Find! Love this stuff also! Be safe !

You gotta be carefull that doors dont close behind you and dont open to let you out. It would suck roasting to death in an abondoned jetliner in the middle of nowhere.
