I remember flying on this plane in 2017. I was flying to see my mother who I had not seen in 27 years. (Long story) i remember that flight because it brought me to a time and a place I would remember for the rest if my life. Nor will I ever forget the sound of that beautiful engine.

[@smeh1967]

Just hearing the engine hum of the Md-90... it gets me emotional.

MD-90 is really a good plane. Sad to see it quit the market earlier as it did not match the Boeing product line.

Shuo Liu Yeah it's a shame. I absolutely love the aesthetics of this aircraft. It always adds some variety in the sea of wing mounted engines.

Indeed! It's pretty cool when the engines are at ear level, and you can hear all of those adjustments.

[@RefrigeratedWaffles2]

LoveJT8D I just flew on an A320 four days ago and it had the same engine, boy the amount of thrust deducted on our flight my older sister thought the engines failed and I just broke out laughing

[@LoveJT8D]

@@RefrigeratedWaffles2 Oh man, as a nervous flyer most of my childhood/young adult years, the reduction in thrust after takeoff always gave me sweaty palms. The airport you were departing from must've had some strict noise abatement rules in the area.

I believe the Boeing 717 was the last of the MD family to be produced. The 717 was originally designated "MD-95" however was changed after McDonnell Douglas merged with Boeing.

[@zerberus500]

MAD DOG AT IT'S BEST! BIG LIKE, FANTASTIC!

[@LoveJT8D]

+zerberus500 Thanks!

[@neomorpheus2494]

These engines sound exactly (or pretty close) to engines found on A320 and A321 aircraft, like when i flew on NWA and US Airways A320 jets. Same also for an A321 (US Airways) flown a couple of years ago. MD90's are no longer made, correct? I'll miss the old workhorse DC-9s that were flown by NWA / Delta, albeit they were inefficient on fuel consumption.

[@LoveJT8D]

+New Neo Your ears are correct. The engines on the MD-90 are of the same family for many of the Airbus A320's. The MD-90 uses the IAE 2525 while the A320 uses the IAE 2500. Although, keep in mind that the A320 family does have the option of using CFM-56's as well. You are correct; the MD-90's are no longer made.

[@neomorpheus2494]

+LoveJT8D Thanks for the reply. The 717 is also no longer made which replaced the MD80, MD 90, right ?Perhaps Boeing should reconsider a new 717 plane if market will support it. Engines are also the same or similar to the A319 too, correct? I've flown on A319, 320, 321, and B757 jets. B757 best of the lot, IMHO. Hopefully, Boeing can develop better, more competitive jetliners to compete w/ Airbus Ind. Great videos.

[@TommyZTrains]

Just doesn't get any better !!

[@MrBxbreezy]

They are still using these im surprised. Then again for them keeping them in service is justified.

[@shhmule]

Why's there some giant fuel truck pulling up next to the aircraft at Columbus? Don't they have fuel points in the tarmac? Imagine the fire caused from an accident with a fuel tanker.

[@LoveJT8D]

I would think CMH has fuel points at least at some of the gates. More often than not, I would see those fuel trucks driving around.

I don't know, a 737-800 was my ride this summer. The engine spool up is hard to beat

[@calvinrovinescu6166]

The 757, A320, MD-90 and many other planes can beat the spool up of a 737. That's just my opinion though.

[@ghall7763]

[@pipeJIME924]

Why the spooling during startup? Excellent video and excellent sound!

[@LoveJT8D]

pipeJIME924 That sound between the :42 - :52 may have been the APU supplying bleed air to start the engines but I'm not 100% sure. Other than that, most of the spooling up around that same time mark seemed relatively normal as the engines came online. Nothing like the sound of jet engines next to your ear :)

[@prankbrosmachenfakepranks7696]

That sounds like EXACTLY the cfm-6b though

[@Flightbudy2channel]

Awesome video and sound

[@LoveJT8D]

Thank you!

[@goldenstateaviation2861]

I’m curious why they started Engine 2 before pushback?

[@LoveJT8D]

Not quite sure. Might be because there was crew / equipment on the engine 1 side, so decided to start 2 first. Just a guess though.

+Monica Miyake (PenguinvilleRescue1) Agreed. Nothing beats having the engines at ear level :)

[@bestpilot98]

com'on DL, fix that APU!

[@LoveJT8D]

I assumed that loud rush of noise in the beginning was APU related. Do you suspect there was a problem or were they bleeding air to start the second engine?

[@calvinrovinescu6166]

The rush of air was engine 1, but it's unclear whether it was a crossbleed or not. It's very common for them to crossbleed MD-90s though.

[@bestpilot98]

+LoveJT8D who knows. the cockpit crew may have simply decided to go ahead and crank both motors with the "huffer" connected b4 pushback. great vid...keep em comin'!

Honestly, I’m glad that Delta is phasing out the MDs. They are definitely a cool platform, but they are getting to be old, and there are far more comfortable planes out there. To each his own, though.

[@WildWildWeasel]

Thats like 70% throttle, wtf?

[@LoveJT8D]

Was cool to hear the pilot bump up the throttle a bit once airborne. With noise restrictions in the SoCal area it is usually the opposite. Lay on the throttle during the takeoff roll then cut way back once airborne.
