DC8 63 Surinam Airways Take off from Amsterdam airport 11 March 1989

[@richardtaylor9500]

I had the pleasure of flying in an Air Canada DC8 from Montreal to Toronto in 1972. Such a magnificent classic airliner. I love the smoky engines.

[@HartmutWSager]

Interesting comment! I had the pleasure of flying on an Air Canada DC-8-61 or DC-8-63 (super-stretched) from Montreal to Toronto in Sep 1971, and again on the same model from Winnipeg to Toronto in May 1973.

[@charlesalves5367]

Richard Taylor I too love that classic plane and its smokey engines.

[@charlesalves5367]

Richard Taylor I with you on this.

[@viscount757]

The opening description is not correct. The DC-8-63 in the video is not the aircraft that crashed in 1989. That was a leased US-registered DC-8-62 (N1809E), not a -63. The DC-8-62 was 30 feet shorter than the -63.

[@scott20148]

I ***love*** the shriek of the four turbojet engines spooling up. Nothing else like it. Don't know that I would ever want to fly in a civil airliner with turbojets, but the little boy in me gets all giddy when I see one of these videos. Thanks for posting!

[@Vicivicoing]

scott20148 Thanks you , four your Comment !

[@EricIrl]

The engines used on the DC-8 63 were Pratt and Whitney JT3-D TURBOFANS, not turbojets. OK, they were low bypass but they were equipped with fans. The earlier DC-8 10, 20s and 30s had JT3-C turbojets.

[@charlesalves5367]

scott20148 I with you on this one.

[@Italman45]

They flew directly over my house into Kennedy growing up ...... Very distinctive sound..... I could always guess which one was approaching without even seeing it !

[@747heavyboeing3]

PRATT AND WHITNEY JT3D engines

[@chrisnizer1885]

My first flight was aboard a United Airlines DC-8-63 in "Friend Ship" livery. Beautiful airplanes, loved them ever since. Thanks for the video!

[@747heavyboeing3]

Great first jetliner ride

[@madam757]

Amazing Royal Jordanian Tri star at the beginning!

[@tiadaid]

Amazing how far aviation has gone. Case in point, the thrust of ONE GE90 engine used to power a Boeing 777 is more than the 4 JT3Ds of the DC-8 combined!

[@747heavyboeing3]

Yet sound boring compared to JT3D engines. Still much more efficient as you pointed out.

[@dogisrain]

Back when jet airliners sounded like jets. Belching smoke and loving it! Ahh the good old days.

[@ItsameAlex]

Is this the one that crashed?

[@richJinny]

[@philmoore664]

I flew on this aircraft many times when it was leased to Monarch Airlines some 20+ years ago. It was plodding the holiday routes around Europe with a Surinamese crew (which came as a surprise to bucket and spade Brits). In those days it was in great condition (being maintained by KLM). My job was to do the accounts for the duty free and bar! I got stuck in Corfu (which was always an interesting landing especially if towards the sea) for two days due to a broken flap wheel - hard times!

[@charlesalves5367]

I can recount that in Guyana for the first time in my life i saw that identical airline jet (DC8 series) arrived and took off lunch time period in 1989 once.

[@robertreigman1335]

Aaaah.The super Pratt&Whitney sound from those days.Sigh....

[@charlesalves5367]

Robert Reigman Thanks for informing me i didn't know it was Pratt and Whitney type.

[@charlesalves5367]

Robert Reigman I want to see back the same engines in the modern era.

[@chrisnizer1885]

DC8s used Pratt and Whitney JT3D low bypass turbofan.

[@raoultak]

This is the plane that crashed later in June 1989 at Zanderij Airport in Surinam.

I have seen this plane many times at Miami international airport in the 80's. Is this the same plane that got crashed in '89?

[@airlinerlist]

No, the crashed DC-8 was N1809E, a -62 series with a shorter fuselage.

[@Gameralisan]

Yes in 1989 it crashed in surinam
