American Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-83 [N9617R] push back, start up, and takeoff from DFW

[@willvandeusen7130]

The roar of those engines is tremendous

[@planesguy]

I miss it dearly

[@Thanatos9029]

That start up sounds like something straight out of a star wars movie

[@jayryia]

My most favored thing about riding the MDs, were actually listening to the Pratts at taxi. As you apply power to get it rolling, they'll give this lil whine, along with a deep bass tone... then as they roll and reduce back to idle thrust, it just winds down. I dunno why, but I absolutely loved it as a lil kid and to this day.

Love Mad Dogs...spent lots of time on them. Love sound of P&W JT8's

[@planesguy]

Same here! Really miss flying on them.

[@heroknaderi]

That was a classic and amazing takeoff and climb. I enjoyed the video. I will Miss these old planes. I wish American managed to keep them longer. If i ever had enough money to start my own airline i would buy old md80s and renovate them and return them to the skies.

That was so cool to see a 737 landing parallel while on the take-off roll...👍

Wow nice video! I love the MD-80/90 family.

[@planesguy]

Me too! Thanks! :)

[@manhoot]

Love the mad dog 80

[@Zickcermacity]

A lovely dance begins at 21:00 as a lander joins in!

[@planesguy]

Was some great timing.

[@nickfenton2334]

Awesome video! I've flown on that plane in that seat before! Wonderful!

[@planesguy]

Thanks! :)

Miss these planes I used to load them up and working with them on a daily basis at delta airlines. The only thing holding the nose gear wheel to the hydraulic gear is a cotter pin I used to have to remove before flight pin before takeoff on that gear it’s a double wheel on the nose of this plane the nose of the plane is so low to the ground like crazy low lol

[@JelmersAviation]

Stunning video man!

[@planesguy]

[@607aviation]

[@planesguy]

[@organosuonarino]

20'40" take off roll 21'45" rotate

[@aviationlovers0127]

Nice video! Also at 0:18 the flight captain's name sounds very familiar to me for some reason.

[@mikeburkitt5293]

What a growler

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

Did the video really have to cutoff while that steward was talking?

[@planesguy]

Camera automatically stops a video at 29:00 no matter what sadly.
