American Airlines MD-82 / San Antonio to Dallas Ft Worth / 4K Video

[@gabesuper80]

Great video, and it's the last-remaining originally delivered American MD-80 and last-remaining MD-82 at American Airlines! You're very lucky you got to fly on it!

[@lucascalma605]

What a speedy takeoff! Great video man. As the MD-80's are retired the Classic livery will soon be phased out.

[@nickfenton2334]

Awesome video! Yes, this is American's last MD-82! I've flown on that plane once and seen it many times. I was in the same row, but opposite side of the plane. Great video.

Still don't know why the MD-80's of American Airlines are still the old liveries, when the rest are the newer ones.

[@gabesuper80]

It's because they're getting retired in September with not much time to paint them all over.

beautiful jt8d sound

[@adamk7634]

N501AA is the last MD-82 in AA's fleet

[@RedLP5000S]

How did you find an American jet with the old livery in 2019?

[@gabesuper80]

Well, American still has 28 MD-80s in service, all of which are in the old livery and will get retired in September, unfortunately. However, after these Super-80s are retired, they are leaving one 737-800 in the old livery as a special heritage livery, which is N921NN. Enjoy the Super-80s while you can!

Always nice to see MD-80s at DFW Airport

[@BFFAvgeek15]

I've seen this plane at Tulsa before! And hopefully this will be my plane to Omaha from Dallas on May 4 when I fly out.
