Super video on the super 80! I love MD80's, they're so cool, I love everything from the design to the JT8D engines, a proper jet. I'll be very sad when they're gone, you were lucky to get one of the last flights of this one. Liked and subbed 👍

[@ORFAviation]

Great Video 👍

[@SuperSpotterATL]

Airplane Man Thanks!

[@Underappreciatedclassics]

1:56, who ever does not like the rawr of JT8D’s has no soul! So yea I live for it too ;3

[@kennygoetz2010]

Great video, heading home from hostile territory :) It's sad though that the Mad Dog is being retired , history will preserve these beautiful ladies .

[@dumitrulangham1721]

Never get looking at mad dog aircraft! 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰

[@jr13227]

There’s some conflicting info. I looked up this plane’s registration and some things say it’s an md-82 and some say md-83. Was it modified at some point and what would qualify it to gain status and an md-83?

[@SuperSpotterATL]

jr132 Yes this was a former MD82. It was modded with aux fuel tanks and a moderate cockpit upgrade. The engine guages are still analog. AA never did a full MD83 cockpit upgrade. I do believe that the engines were upgraded as well to the JT8D-219 as well.

[@billmeagher2297]

Awesome video. Thanks.

[@Nrv4480]

Hey neat vid. Did you hear there's a hurricane coming to Houston

[@MEGGAH1GRAND]

Someone correct me if im wrong, but i noticed the right engine wasnt started after push back. I saw this same thing on my flight from newark to jamaica. Its wasnt started until alittle before takeoff. I would presume this is to preserve fuel while taxing? Or am I not seeing right?

[@Austinvohra]

I like the video and I like the engine view, also what did you use to film this, it is very clear

[@71tarheelfan]

That engine tho!!! MAD DOG forever! Where did you get the hat?

[@faithsky734]

i like these MD 80s so much! I actually thought about disguising our 757-200 to look like a commercial AA aircraft! :) also I wanna ask what good names should I give for all of our aircraft? ;)

[@SuperSpotterATL]

Yeah of course! Can you send me your email or find another way for me to contact you?

[@SuperSpotterATL]

Ok got it thanks!

[@emanuelallen1192]

Captain Cooper you're very welcome! :)

[@gabesuper80]

Man, you know you're lucky when you get to fly on an LAA MD-80 twice! Another fantastic trip report! Do you have anymore plans for taking a few Super-80s this year before they retire in September?

[@habyss]

As much as I like these videos, as a passenger I wouldn't appreciate my face showing up in one.

[@torontopearsonairspotter]

Which aircraft and which airlines you usually fly as a pilot

[@SuperSpotterATL]

I'm actually still in training right now. I fly at the Centennial Aviation Academy at PDK here in ATL!

[@JustinLHopkins]

AA has now switched to a 737 to my city. Won't see the MD80 much more.

[@SuperSpotterATL]

Damn I'm sorry to hear. They're getting rare here in ATL unfortunately.

[@zona1953]

Great engines!

[@SuperSpotterATL]

zona1953 They're the best!

[@BFFAvgeek15]

Always good to see a Mad Dog! What's the date of this flight?

[@SuperSpotterATL]

It sure is! Especially an American! it was on 8/12/17 you reminded me to put it in the description above!

[@BFFAvgeek15]

Captain Cooper Sweet! I flew Southwest on July 11 & 18, 2017! I flew on one of Southwest's 737-300s! Their retiring all of there 733s by Sep 29!

[@max-_-6352]

2:42 says 30,000 feet but description says 20,000 was there a change?

[@SuperSpotterATL]

Max -_- There was yes. It was probably due to stronger winds above us as well as larger storms brewing over the Texas area. Dallas got hammered with severe weather after I left on my next flight.

[@max-_-6352]

Oh ok

[@sacresies]

Did anyone catch a Buzzz...

[@debralindsey5747]

Especially at 20:35 and foward Beautiful

[@willsaviation6369]

But I usually fly delta

[@accdude92]

you a pilot?

[@SuperSpotterATL]

I am yes!

[@dmbcjs44]

Is this plane flying on only 1 engine? If so that's impressive!

[@SuperSpotterATL]

Christian S No it's flying with 2 lol if they had to shut one down in flight then you'd have to land lol. Thanks for watching!

[@mkennedy1389]

I don't know how it's flying on 2 cause I definitely didn't see that fan move at all

[@SuperSpotterATL]

mkennedy1389 Heres NO.2's engine starting! 8:58

[@mkennedy1389]

Yea I looked at how the engines are made after I saw this. I'll be sad to see these planes retire in the coming years; they were such a big part of my childhood

[@dmbcjs44]

Yeah flew on one couple months ago with Delta. Could hear the cracks and squeaks of the plane on takeoff. Well built and reliable plane. Love the engine sounds of the rear mounted engines.

[@williamkinyon3832]

The video was ok, but not worth watching again....btw....what's with the fascination about videoing the engine while flying ??.....and 16 min taxing until take off ???

[@SuperSpotterATL]

William Kinyon Well it's not for everyone but you get to hear the engines start up and see all of the different terminals and aircraft at the airport. Plenty of people enjoy this channel's videos! I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the video too much.

[@aliyahgreaves937]

Captain Cooper I loved it
