McDonnell Douglas MD-80 walktrough and cockpit

[@justjim2693]

I loved working on those planes. Very mechanical, very simple.

[@larrydockery7201]

i love to have an dc10 in my back yard i do have a big heart for the md80

[@remylopez2408]

You can tell that that is a very early production model because the tailcone is pointed later models had the beaver tail cone I worked on those aircraft as a mechanic for McDonald Douglas so that brings back memories for me anyways

[@remylopez2408]

Also what kind of engine does that thing have lunch again I worked on those at McDonald Douglas and that does not look like a Pratt & Whitney JT8D-217 The engine cowlings are completely different almost like the one she would see on an MD 90 and that is an MD90 Anyways just asking I still remember a few things from these old aircraft

[@trickyz3609]

McDonald?? It’s “McDonnell Douglas”

The boy explaining looks competent and for sure Charming...is he a pilot now?

[@timothydewa9096]

Saddened view to see one of legendary aircraft sits on remote field, looking weary and abandoned, have no wings to fly freely again.

[@andreaslenz1535]

This is an older video of this aircraft, I was positively surprised a couple of months ago, where I found this plane totally cleaned up from the outside!

[@youdontknowme5969]

I just want to touch one of its wings and sit in one of the pilot seats before I die. That's all.

[@attben]

hey, how is this accessed? do you have to ask/know someone? thanks

[@craftforceXL]

Hi attben. There are several days in a year when they have "open doors" on that airport, so you can get on the plane and have it explained to you if you are interested.

[@attben]

@@craftforceXL awesome thank you :)

[@gabesuper80]

“World’s Quietest MD-80?” What kind of Super-80 is this? Quiet and MD-80 aren’t supposed to be in the same sentence 😂

[@m.hstudioproductions6642]

Actually, this MD-80 was a testbed for a newer hushkit system designed for the aircraft to be more compatible with Chapter 4 noise restrictions.

[@gabesuper80]

Malik Howell Ah gotcha

[@Boeing787Fan31]

Is that MD-80 no longer flying?

[@craftforceXL]

NO, it no longer flies. The plane is parked in MBX for years, engines removed...

[@Boeing787Fan31]

At least, Delta still operates this plane.

[@md-80enjoyer95]

@WPLU572 Trunked Radio there are still 28 left for American

[@gabrielflorentino6080]

The MD-90 is the king of md80 families. Its the mad Pit Bull

[@dlbrittain1976]

MD80 :)

[@eberbessajunior9051]

[@craftforceXL]

Nope, Slovenian language.
