The 88 never ceases to amaze me as to how steeply it takes off. I love the moment when you guys come right out of the top of the clouds. Imagine what that would look like from Outside of the Airplane and away from it to watch an MD88 pop-up, All Of A Sudden out from the clouds.

Those -80’s have a lot of power. I couldn’t get enough of that thing! The takeoff & landing were always so intense! There are only a few airplanes left that still have that feeling and experience to them. This new garbage we have now has absolutely no thrill

"I "Imagine" right here !! The BEST of the B E S T !!!

These are the airplanes I miss flying on. They are workhorses. I enjoyed the video.

[@jonahair747]

I love them too! Thank you for watching!

For such a highly loaded wing, the MDs had the best climb capability! They were always exciting at takeoff 😃

At least I got a chance to fly on AA MD-80 back in 2012.

Another great video! I'm flying on a European Air Charter MD-82 this month, but I'm unsure whether to sit slightly behind the engine or not.

[@jonahair747]

I really appreciate that, thank you! Have fun on your -82 flight! Make sure you get some video footage!

Love the mad dog 80

JT8D’s sound so sweet

[@jonahair747]

My all time favorite engine right there! Every variant it has

[@robertdavidson7201]

WOW! It looks like the plane took off with it's butt real low.

[@jonahair747]

It sure was a steep one! You can’t beat a Maddog/DC-9 takeoff!

[@Helicopterpilot16]

Ahh, the time's when planes actually had souls....

[@jonahair747]

I couldn’t agree more with you…
