[@Delta_NWAB747fan]

I truly believe the best era of aviation was from 1970-late 2000s. Many airlines and iconic aircraft are gone. I’m so happy whenever new archive footage is released. I’m glad I got to experience some of this when I was young.

[@Laxa30]

you mean deadliest era of aviation lol. These times are not missed

[@Delta_NWAB747fan]

@@Laxa30 Of course you have to nitpick at my comment, you’re the third person this week to complain about a perfectly normal comment of mine. The time before the 70s was incredibly deadly as well and we don’t have a lack of plane crashes and incidents today even though less. So stop being a Debbie Downer, I said what was great about that era and you just had to look at the negatives. That’s when traveling became more affordable, flying longer and faster than ever before, the first wide body aircraft were introduced, Concorde was in service for most of that period providing supersonic transport, and many airlines and aircraft that got us where we are today are gone. So crashes discredit the accomplishments from that era? That logic makes perfect sense… Edit: Grammar & wanted to add the 70s & 80s was definitely deadly, but that generation advanced very quickly with tech and was racing to get more advanced in air travel. As awful as it sounds, crashes were expected as flaws were going to happen. Still tragic and those accidents should’ve never happened. With that, it’s understandable that aircraft like the DC-10 had a incredibly safer career, as most accidents after United Flight 232 were not due to the aircraft. Only issue was freighters bouncing after landing, which the MD-11 had. Anything from weather, maintenance, to bombings were responsible for the overwhelming majority of accidents. We wouldn’t be where we are if it weren’t for the iconic aircraft of that time period.

[@komrad1983]

I think this is iconic era of everything - music, movies, social life, family etc. 9/11 was the break of that era

[@ikaikamaleko8370]

Yep I totally agree, for me it was the 70s and 80s. I remember being in LAX and sitting at a gate and watching a Delta L1011 pull right up to the window, it was so cool. I also remember when my family and I would drop people off at the Honolulu airport and we could walk to the gate with them and see them off right as they were getting read y to board, man were those some fun times. The best times in airline aviation for me for sure.

[@ikaikamaleko8370]

In 1983 I left for college and it was my first time leaving Hawaii. I was boarding a United 747 and I looked at that huge nose cone and was in awe that I was getting on one because as a kid that was always my favorite aircraft. Then it taxied to the reef runway and when I felt those thrusters kick in and that power, wow what a rush that was for me, it was just a total thrill.

[@smakfu1375]

No more L-1011’s, no more 727’s, no more DC-8’s, no more DC-10’s; MD-80’s, A300’s and 737-200’s are all but gone. No more TWA, America West, Continental, North West, US Air, AirTran, etc.. crazy, but at 49, 24 years ago seems like yesterday. Hard to believe all those planes and carriers are long gone.

[@azul_rex]

The FedEx A300 N672FE shown in this video is still flying with them as we speak. Somehow one of the only aircraft in this video still flying along with the America West A319s which are still making money in the American livery and some of the Delta 757s. Even the Delta 777 is gone now.

[@smakfu1375]

@@azul_rex After reading your comment, I went and checked my assumptions: I’m shocked that over 1/3rd of the total A300’s produced are still in service (197 according to Wikipedia). I had no idea that FedEx and UPS alone account for 122 of those aircraft. I’ve always found the A300 to be an interesting plane, because (like the A320 family) it was very forward looking, out of necessity. I suppose, despite the ancient engines, the twin config probably makes them highly practical as a freighter for logistics companies. Hard to believe that the A300 entered service 50 years and 5 days ago. Also hard to believe almost none of its contemporaries (DC-10, L1011) are still in service.

[@AdrianInflorida]

I worked for Eastern and Continental from 88-95 at ATL. It was a geat time for the old workhorses

Sure there is...in flight simulator 😎😁

[@A-150_as_a_sphere]

[@lsu768]

My grandfather flew for Delta for 30 years...by far his favorite was the L-1011. Thank you for posting this!

You're welcome!

[@TheNukewarfare2]

Classic McDonnell Douglas MD-80s and DC-10s. I miss seeing them. 😢

[@Supreme_MJ]

Some Md-80s are brought back from storage and few dc-10s are converted to tankers and the firefighting plane

[@Michael-ig8ne]

DC-9’s are cooler tho

[@Michael-ig8ne]

So are the L-1011’s

[@jcolbyt82]

I really miss the L-1011. Too bad Lockheed didn’t stay in the passenger jet business. The L-1011 was ahead of its time. Imagine what Lockheed might have come up with today if they had continued to build passenger jets.

[@jcolbyt82]

@@Supreme_MJthe firefighting DC-10 planes are something to see. Flying slow along the ridge lines is amazing to watch.

[@freddyferrillo9704]

So much easier to tell the planes apart back then.

[@Steeledawg]

Retired DAL employee. L1011 is my favorite a/c of all time. Very easy to work on and a true workhorse of the industry.

[@jtoddk98]

Loved seeing some L1011s and most of the pilots in this video having absolute butter landings

[@jeffrey5703]

Lockheed L1011. Takes me back. Thanks for posting!

Very welcome!

[@5PM-Enterprises]

The L-1011 was an iconic platform! Those were the days…

[@icculus]

Love seeing the 727s and 737s with the old JT8D engines. Brings back childhood memories. It’s also interesting to see them juxtaposed with the 777 which was relatively new at the time, but still doesn’t seem old today.

[@toodlepop]

i was going to say the exact same thing. specifically in relation to those engines on the 727/737 and the 777. it's strange how this video makes the 777 look old.

[@ChrisZoomER]

I remember seeing and hearing these during my childhood all throughout the 2000s, I still don’t know why the fun had to end.

[@HammieNL]

That KLM 767, PH-BZK, is still flying, as whe speak it's up in the air. Belongs to a Russian carrier now. (RA73032). 27 years old 😮

[@MikeMarden1]

The older Delta livery on many of the planes here has such a classic look to it.

[@jerrywoods4845]

Wow. That TWA @ 9 minute mark a bit of a steep accent. Bet the passengers felt like they were on a rocket ship.

[@dldave1978]

28 year (and counting)Delta employee. So great to see the 72 and L10. Thanks so much for sharing!

So cool seeing all the heavies, the DL and BA 777’s, the LH and AF 343’s, the DL M11’s and L10’s, the KL and DL 763’s, and the SN 332. Sucks modern SN doesn’t fly to ATL anymore. Love the United Battleships as well!

Great Plane Spotting from ATL 2000. Great to see the L-1011's, MD-80's, 727-200's and also the different liveries of the 757-200.

[@bryanjohnson9884]

Awesome footage. That Emery Worldwide DC-8 along with those Delta Tri-Stars was fantastic! Boy, those were the days!

[@Tigerwarhawk]

Fun fact. Those AirTran DC-9s were once owned by Delta. Fast forward, AirTran buys the 717, and Delta eventually gets them!
