[@Blooga_]

sigh, the days of the maddog

[@ELPJM09]

What this a ferry or maintenance check flight? Maybe the camera guy was a mechanic.

[@theaviationlover9604]

Amazing! Very luck

[@Gamerboy-gy1rl]

your the only one shaking lol but nice video

[@habyss]

Delta's MD fleet must be getting pretty old. They haven't been made since the late 90s.

[@ianmccown2934]

habyss yeah, but look at it this way, md80s, are a variant of the dc9 which were made in the 60s, and delta stopped flying them in 2014 I believe.

[@MD88Pilot]

The MD88s are gonna be retired soon unfortunately. However the 90 and 717 will be here for awhile.

[@bestpilot98]

AA's fleet of "super 80"s only included the DC-9-81, -82, and -83. One must note that DL's MD-88 aircraft carry DC-9-83 registration. Delta's "-88" designation, primarily, refers to the upgraded avionics, as ordered by Delta for its DC-9-83 order.

How is it that the Captain is out of uniform wearing a blue polo shirt?

[@jacobsauder4209]

Nathan Greve a 9xxx flight number is a ferry flight (flight with no passengers)

[@nathangreve2453]

Jacob M Ah! Thanks

[@xferretz9406]

is nobody going to mention the ADI having a stoke?

[@DrSeuss-rt2ou]

XFerretz, do you mean the PFD (primary flight display)? The PFD's look normal and steady to the pilots. However, for whatever reason, they appear to be flashing when viewed through a camera.

[@RocketAnthem]

@@DrSeuss-rt2ou The flashing is a result of the refresh rate of the camera

[@TheXcaliber223]

How did you score a jumpseat?

[@MD88Pilot]

he must be a pilot, on a flight to his flight

[@TheXcaliber223]

yea but who wants to deadhead in an MD80 lumpseat lol

[@MD88Pilot]

Me

[@TheXcaliber223]

lol same but I heard the jumpseat on the mad dog is trash

[@MD88Pilot]

It looks it. It is really really small plus there is no leg room since the seat is attached to the little walls next to the door.

[@rapidthrash1964]

talk about turbulance

[@paulnobleii4239]

@0:48: PUT YOUR HAND BACK ON THAT DAMN THROTTLE. WHATS WRONG WITH YOU????

[@JasonB748]

The Autothrottle is on. They switch it off around 2:15

[@SSAviation737]

Armchair pilot much, Paul?

[@paulnobleii4239]

@Ekajeebadmi Yeah every now and then. Keeps skills sharp. The MD I flew, school house scorched us for taking our hands off the throttles under 10,000. What about you?

[@SSAviation737]

@@paulnobleii4239 I stand corrected. Thanks for letting me know. I am a believer in keeping my hand on the throttle, but I thought you were being a little too harsh lol. I shouldn't be talking. I don't have an ATP yet lol.

[@SSAviation737]

Fellow armchair pilot here also. I have talked to pilots though and they obviously keep their hands on the throttles. I do the same in the sim.
