Oostende 1996 MK Airlines DC 8-55F, 3x take off B707, 1 with compressor stall

I flew on a BOAC 707 from New York to London in 1962 when I was 10. I love these old planes. I used to see them all fly over my house in Arlington, VA. when I was a kid. My dad worked for American then BOAC/ British Airways, under both names.

The Boeing 707 will always be my nr 1 plane. Pure elegance en class in every way. X

Great memories. I have been to Ostend in the 90s quite a few times. Had to laugh when I realized that I know the guy at 6:20 shouting "ah Feuer" very well. 🤣

I used to love Oostend airport. Always so many geriatric oddities in the 80's and 90's. I managed to fly into it once, on a Dan Air HS 748 and we parked right next to a a Balair DC-6 unloading freight !! Went up to the terrace to watch it take off and oh what a sight. Just one of many old airliners i remember, and your videos bring all those memories flooding back. Thank you.

As a kid, I flew on American Airlines DC-6's a few times from Washington National Airport to New York. Same destination on American Electra-II a couple of times. Once on an American DC-3 also.

The good old days at Ostend!

Those JT3Ds screech!

[@longsweep1]

Of all airports I've been to, Ostend in the 90's was unbeatable when it comes to the amount of oldies.

[@lex1945]

The whole airport is very old

[@davef.2811]

Yes, fond (albeit cold) memories of the Thermal Palace Hotel and the nearby Farmhouse Restaurant/ Pub were the best.

Amazing video mate other subscribers big like from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴

Amazing engine smoke on DC-8.

[@skipcampbell4328]

Micheal Kruger pushed his DC 8 and fight crews to the max. No other commercial 20 year old plus aircraft except the 707. Could have taken such a beating. Almost always over grossed and overlooked regular maintenance. I love those old aircraft!

[@antonmothes3160]

still flying the -55 model in the late 90s explains it all :D. seeing those birds getting regular beatings is kinda creepy but fascinating at the same time.

[@jmp.t28b99]

Been there, done that back in 1971. It was number one engine at rotation for me. It ate a prairie chicken !!

[@donjose4656]

Magnifique DC-8 ! Dommage que l'on en voit plus...

[@PurpleDreki]

Look at the smog! Dirty engines back then.

[@RedArrow73]

Um, a flame-out and a Compressor Stall are two different things. A flame-out is actually fuel starvation. Please fix your thumbnail.

B707, the flying smokescreen.
