I just got an overdose of classic jet liners. Glorious days, now we fly like sardines

[@Andrew-sv6zq]

I miss these planes so much. They all had character.

[@timlc]

Great memories of my early spotting days at Gatwick. Without doubt my favourite aircraft at the time was the VC10. Very distinctive sound when taxiing!

[@APW_Manbow]

DC8−61, I often worked loading cargo when JAL was using it. I was energized by the roar of that tremendous starter along with the -50 series. I'll never forget that sound.

[@fredflintstone747]

The loud sounds actually was the APU bleeding air to the turbine, once all engines were running, the loud noise will go away. I used to load UPS and Transamerica DC8 60s back in the early 80s

[@APW_Manbow]

It's a barking noise related to the pneumatic starter and intermittent clutch. The same thing happens with the F-15 and Tu-154B.

[@truebrit3578]

Some of these aircraft were around in the 1970s and 1980s and I flew on several of them. That period was the cusp of big changes coming, the A320 first flying in the late 1980s and still a staple of many airlines around the world.

Beautifull color esquemes.

[@flyingtigerline]

Now, that was NICE.

I went on one of those Adria air DC9s on holiday to Yugoslavia with my parents when I was 4 years old!

[@bronxboy2998]

OH MY 😍😍 I WISH this was longer. I’ve never seen some of these airlines, and I’ve always wondered what 1970’s and 80’s airline livery looked like.

hi @bronxboy2998 You can watch hours more video like this on DVD or to stream at www.avionvideo.com

[@stevegarnham4632]

loved the court line bac 1-11 .

[@williamwatson4625]

I've encountered many BAC 1-11s taking off. Those RR Spey engines were extremely deafening to hear in full takeoff power and I could feel the ground shaking.

[@AndreiTupolev]

How ridiculously long the DC-8-70 was 😄

[@beachbum4691]

Yup, Just so incredibly beautiful/elegant, 187 feet long with six abreast seating I wonder how close to structural failure they would come in heavy turbulence, but as far as I know (without researching) none suffered structural failure?

[@SalisburyPlainAviation]

These are super dc8-61 or 63s. The 70 series were re-engined 61s and 63s.

[@aoksys31]

It would have been nicer of you had identified the models shown. I didn't see a Caravelle or a Comet, but was there a Convair in the mix?

[@classicairlineractionfromavion]

There is an Air France Caravelle on the ground. There is a Dan Air Comet in Older Jets 01 here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHSuaYqhitGHi6s. You can see a CV880 in my clip here kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXiWgJ1oeqlmp5o Best regards Howard

[@jimmcintosh9045]

Yes crazy that aircraft types were not shown.

[@betotrujillo7071]

Como sonaban esos motores!

[@beachbum4691]

an astonishing aircraft for its time. Just so incredibly beautiful/elegant, 187 feet long with six abreast seating I wonder how close to structural failure they would come in heavy turbulence, but as far as I know (without researching) none suffered structural failure?

[@davidcastle7212]

Only diff i notice is engines and wingtips.

[@atilllathehun1212]

Aviation is so boring now compared to these times....
