The JT8D & the Spey have the most recognizable sound on start, they're completely unmistakable. Great video!

[@LoveJT8D]

+RyanBomar Can never go wrong with those two engines ;)

[@DJPenguino51]

The JT8D has one of the most musical spool up sounds ever! Long live the JT8D!!

Man I feel nostalgic watching this video. I remember flying on these from MIA to Baltimore back in 2005.

[@LoveJT8D]

Can’t believe how time flies. Seems not long ago I shot this vid. The sights and sounds of passenger aviation during childhood was magical. So many different types of planes with their own unique characteristics.

[@RichyJam2011]

Never travelled on an MD-80, closest I've come is a DC9, and that DC9 was stupidly loud lol

[@LoveJT8D]

+RichyJam2011 And can you believe, Eastern marked their 727s and DC9s as the "Whisperjet." I guess only if you're sitting in the front ;)

I enjoyed the video. I miss the MD-80s😎😎

"If ever by chance we land near a boat...!!!" She did a great job! Love that AA has some of that Southwest Airlines spirit!

[@LoveJT8D]

It's definitely refreshing to see the flight crew adding some humor and fun to an otherwise routine flight. Growing up as a nervous flyer, that kind of thing always put me at ease.

I'll be doing the same flight in two months!! Im so excited to go to Ohio. my itinerary is PSP-DFW-CMH!

[@LoveJT8D]

How cool! Hope you enjoy your flight. My routing was somewhat similar LAX-DFW-CMH. Is Ohio your home state?

[@DeltaL1011]

Ughh, no APU? Good thing it wasn't mid July! :)

[@LoveJT8D]

+bestpilot98 Yes, was actually quite comfortable sitting on the ground being December.

[@kquttersanford3635]

Any outlets?

[@LoveJT8D]

Kqutter Sanford I believe some have outlets in first class and main cabin extra, but definitely not coach main cabin.

[@N6UTC]

Where was departure?

[@LoveJT8D]

+Endaf Buckley This flight departed from DFW and the destination was CMH. I fly into CMH every year to visit family for Christmas and luckily AA still uses the MD-80 on that route.
