[@marklara7359]

Simply aviatio can you pin me i love all your videos pls.

[@CaioAviation11]

Congrats

[@sidewalk__]

Who is this illusive "Simply aviatio" figure? I only know of Simply Aviation.

[@ColeGina13]

Me too

[@karlp8484]

One of the ironies is that often you get better legroom on an old aircraft than a modern one.

[@simonebertarini2359]

Thank you so much guys for have flow with Meridiana, and with the “Maddog”!!!! The 4 planes are now in Danemark. I miss them soo much

[@crosswindaviation469]

WoW! MD-80's nowadays???

[@derpcakeflies]

nah, they're just retired this year

[@alvarocifuentes6745]

Yeah, i think some airlines in the US still operate it

[@murrayjones694]

yeah meridiana also has a long-haul fleet of 20 year old 767s including a 767-200

[@nishanthb5093]

Alvaro Cifuentes yes Delta operates them

[@TrainNutter]

Meridiana is one of the last MD-80 operators in Europe. But not for long! As I think they are being replaced by Air Italy/Meridiana's order for 20 Boeing 737-8 MAX's (They are also Italy's launch customer for the type)

[@spottedmask1777]

That engine start up when you were on the runway was just amazing. Brilliant engine sound

[@claw5491]

Simply aviation is my favorite aviation channel continue like this David

[@sinking_banana1223]

This is Felix

[@falconlars6931]

You're right

[@hayat9622]

One of the most unique flight reports ever.. Good job!👍👍

[@JettTyler17]

Glad you guys filmed & posted this! Love the MD-80! Been to Olbia when the MD-80s were flying. great little airport.

[@alessandrovisconi1079]

I miss those planes so much. I remember when I used to take the Meridiana maddogs from LIN to CTA during my Christmas vacations. They made my childhood and if I'm now an aviation enthusiast It's all thanks to these magical aircrafts.

[@miata149]

Thanks for including a DC-9 family member in your flight review. The initial take-off climb rate is quite spectacular, isn't it? Whether a passenger or watching from the ground I'm always amazed. Part of the reason there are 30+ year-old DCs and MDs still flying is that they were built to last.

[@zPinball]

Grazie a te per aver volato a Olbia!!

[@devendrasaxena8111]

Woahh!!! That engine roar at takeoff..

[@Elias-xy9kc]

Loved the Audi logos on the first seats 💺 😂🇸🇦

[@mojzika1]

Wow, MD-82. Sowas sieht man wirklich nicht oft.^^ Wie immer: toller Trip Report :-)

[@TrainNutter]

As soon as I see a Simply Aviation notification, I click on it immediately.

[@eisenwolf1237]

Cool trip report.I really enjoy watching your trip reports 😀

[@eptometha2043]

I just love Douglas jets. Bravo!

[@gabriellagabrielli2049]

I've waited for this for a long time... perfect video as always! Greetings from Italy!

[@whatsup7433]

He is the best airplane youtuber in the world he inspires me

[@aircraftaviationofficial6377]

simply aviation is simply the best

[@lszhspotter]

I have been waiting for so long for a tripreport on Meridiana", finally it's time! :) Huge like!

[@Waldo1411]

Awesome trip report Felix! What an interesting experience flying a 31 year old MD-82

[@cmcjss]

Awesome video as always. Rome seems to be a chaotically planned airport.

[@ashz.2820]

Wow absolutely love your work!

[@kkornel2003]

Wouldn't you try the flight between Budapest and New York with Lot?

[@simply_aviation]

We already did a longhaul LOT flight (not published yet). So we probably won't fly it.

[@kkornel2003]

Ok, thank you. :-)

[@largesoda1729]

An amazingly smooth landing

[@lorenzotortelli1312]

Thanks for the video!! Im italian!!🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@lucachannel9772]

Wow! Grazie per aver volato in italia! È il mio paese

[@Roby_G]

Luca Channel anche il mio!

[@raghavparmar3520]

Nice to see a report on MD-80. Awesome

[@mateuszjankowski230]

Great tripreport as always Can you please tell me which websites you use to search cheap flights?

[@ogg7976]

Why was the big screen showing Chinese at about 0:25?

[@NikiSvaizer]

Great TR! Lucky that you could fly Meridiana MD80 for the last time last summer! :D

[@germancooldude77gameinggar54]

Great flight

[@marthijn-7544]

Soon I will fly to Rome (Ciampino)! With Ryanair... But flying is always better than by car😂 Maybe you will once make a tripreport from or to Groningen (with Transavia, Nordica (op by LOT, Corendon, Tui or Flybe)😁 Because I’d love to see my favourite KZbin channel Flying from that airport👌🏼

[@germannovoa9056]

YAS MY FAVORITE KZbinR MADE A VIDEO ABOUT THE MD-80!!°

[@stefanschafer6816]

Was für ein cooles Flugzeug... Eine MD 80 war mein erstes Bild in DUS, als ich mit dem Flugzeuge fotografieren anfing. Ich glaube von SAS. Hab gerade mal geschaut, als erster Besitzer wurde für die I-SMET die Airline Alisarda genannt. War das der Vorgänger von Meridiana? Ansonsten ein sehr schöner kurzer Hüpfer.

[@FrenchSpotteur]

Lovely trip report about an old airplane ! I love this trip report !

[@kevinp8108]

That plane is around 31 years old! Can they still fly planes that old?

[@wingcrafters7576]

Awesome tripreport like always! Cheers!

[@jonbrown8553]

Thanks, Felix. Did you pay extra for the seat selection?

[@simply_aviation]

No, I assigned it for free during online check-in.

[@svitzgonc8659]

Nice rewiew man and as always good job. Can you do the tripreport of Adria Airways please.

[@JetzEnzo]

Will you guys fly the new Air Italy

[@OnlySardiniaOlbia]

Assolutamente un aereo incredibile, bellissimi i viaggi e gli atterraggi a Olbia aeroporto. Noi ci troviamo propri lì nelle vicinanze con un autonoleggio.

[@MustraOrdo]

Great video as always Have you guys flown these already?: Azul, Air Serbia, Czech Airlines, Caribbean Airlines, LIAT, Viva Colombia / Aerobus, Air Tahiti Nui, Cubana, TAAG Angola, Fuji Dream Air, Air Koryo?

[@matttheaviatoralt1752]

can ya COOK COOKies? Air koryo is not released yet

[@simply_aviation]

We already posted videos of Azul, Air Serbia and Czech airlines. We have booked flights on TAAG and we have no flights booked yet on Caribbean Airlines, LIAT, Viva Aerobus, Air Tahiti Nui, Cubana, Fuji Dream or Air Koyro...

[@MustraOrdo]

Simply Aviation looking forward for that Air Koryo report... I wonder if the Koreas would be united by then ;)

[@lucianofilho5268]

Had Meridiana not become Air Italy?

[@urmomsbestfriend]

It did, this is just an old video.

[@zakp7952]

All the old meridiana aircraft are still in their old livery. An old Qatar A330 and a new b737 max 8 are in the new livery

[@siobhandoyle6753]

It said at the start of the video Qatar are rebranding them as air italy

[@Aeneas75]

Luciano Filho it doesn't take two months to change an entire airline.

[@tyleranimated2334]

I have A Question: Do you Think A A321 Can Fly From JFK To DUB

[@proudsquaresaviation5840]

Wow you flown a very old plane! Great video like always

[@hectorcruz127]

Fabulous video the airline I fly for has the md-82 great machine

[@tedsd04]

*i just love this channel*

[@ColeGina13]

Why is it so loud when taking off?

[@augustusmiguel9796]

How did you fly a lot ?

[@sjnavaid9341]

Great video❤️

[@hamad-pz3rp]

Y O U M U S T B E G O N E F R O M M Y C O M M E N T S

[@sarinfserg4965]

Epic epic video... thank you

[@travelmentaryTV]

Let‘s hope this doesn‘t end like Etihad‘s European adventures with Alitalia and Air Berlin... but I am confident Al Baker from Qatar Airways has a good plan.

[@davidcho6024]

It recently did. Air Italy, the successor of Meridiana, will cease operations on the 25th of February.

[@kostaskorbetis9340]

:(

[@bodhisilberling8763]

Great video mate!

[@sushi777300]

I'm so hoping for a Cubana IL96 video 😍

[@CloudSurfer2002]

Sehr schön Felix! Also ich hätte echt ein wenig Sorge in dieser alten Maschine zu fliegen, vor allem, da die MD Serie ja nicht die sicherste sein soll, wie ich gehört habe... Egal, trotzdem sehr sehr gut gefilmt! 😊

[@simply_aviation]

Schön dass es dir das Video gefallen hat. Habe da absolut keine bedenken, die Flugzeuge in Europa müssen gewissen Sicherheitsstandards entsprechen (welche sehr hoch sind) und daher äußerst sicher auch wenn das Flugzeug über 30 Jahre alt ist.

[@CloudSurfer2002]

Gerne! Ja, da hast du recht! Wird schon schiefgehen 😝

[@soundwave2120]

So simply aviation has been on a MD-82 a 737-200 what other historical planes has he been on

[@toinou2990]

You are the best aviation trireport youtuber! . Your videos are so good! But I have a question, Where do you find all that money?

[@JJ_Skippy]

I wish you could do more trip reports in the states... I’ve watched them all already 😊

[@LucaAviation]

Grazie per aver volato in italia!!! Io sono italiano! :D

[@dorbis9024]

Isnt meridiana changing to Air Italy ?

[@simply_aviation]

Yes the recently changed to Air Italy

[@hamzaxx6316]

Meridiana or Air Italy

[@Javi_747]

When are you going to post the Lufthansa Frankfurt to Mexico city?

[@diegoparedero5841]

Ohh smooth landing uh?

[@ejonaevent]

Amazing sound 😍😍😍

[@FlyingAsia]

Great review Felix of a not so common seen aircraft these days!

[@ericbueneman1979]

The airline was once owned by the Aga Khan. American will be retiring their last MD-80s this year; Delta will be flying them for a few more years.

[@worldtraveller3632]

I am so inspired by your videos. I tried to be like you, taking videos of my travels. I will be flying to the Philippines and China in July 2018. In the future, I will be flying was a traveller and a pilot. Yes, I love travelling, so, I chose to be a pilot as my future job. You are also lucky to go on special events such as the A350 Launch Flight. I loved your videos. I just named my channel 'World Traveller' because I got so inspired by you.

[@flightmode782]

Great video, I'm sad that we won't see any MD-80s in Italy anymore after so many years... The only chance we still have to fly them are basically Volotea's 717s

[@oxyo1045]

I saw a Bulgarian air charter md80 in naples so they will still be seen occasionally

[@alessandrovisconi1079]

I took a Volotea 717 a couple of years ago on the ZTH - VCE route as I immediately felt the super 80 vibes.. I know it'll never be the same thing but I guess I'm gonna settle with that

[@aerotravelerNL]

Very enjoyable to watch review of a relatively short flight. The decision to rebrand the airline to Air Italy is very ambitious. Qatar Airways is also planning to expand the fleet from 11 to 50 aircraft.

[@CGSIDDLE]

did you go overseas to south america?

[@simply_aviation]

Yes we did :)

[@maidstone1982]

Can you do a Estelar Latinoamerica tripreport?

[@mellymarich8822]

Which airline will be published next

[@simply_aviation]

An Asian one. ;)

[@redscoot8634]

I thought MD 80s went extinct... It's amazing that they still fly.....

[@dabsmash7428]

I just came here to comment..lol plz do more Garuda Indonesia Vids!!!! BTW love ur Vlogs

[@meenuarora2347]

Love you simply aviation

[@jacobaldrich2016]

Can you try to fly Air Italy?Btw wow! That airplane's cabin is old school keep it up! Wish I could ride that!

[@dadocta2267]

legroom???

[@skylineXpert]

4 of their MD80 series are currently parked at Nordic Aviation Capital In Billund. Bought by Danish Air Transport.

[@airplaneguy3389]

skylineXpert so they weren’t all scrapped?

[@itzSamito]

nice economy i already watched ur's video's :D

[@acdicenta1426]

Really good engine sound

[@boeing7675]

My new name is 1011 TRISTAR REIS (not ads) You have amazing luck. MD-82 is rarely fliying today

[@wholetthedogsout2941]

old air?

[@alvarocifuentes6745]

MD-80 series are the best airplanes ever

[@fabianbiakowski7632]

Alvaro Cifuentes wtf, MDs are crashing for all time and they are ugly

[@alvarocifuentes6745]

The MD-80 have just 9 accidents in their hole life, taking into account it is a quite old plane is a really good number. So i reccomend you to look up thinks on the internet before saying anything

[@fabianbiakowski7632]

Well, my uncle is a pilot of MD-83 and he says that 80% of flights have a failure of something, cheers

[@fabianbiakowski7632]

Airbus A320 family is better.

[@flightmode782]

typical, 13 year old kids always have an uncle that does something inherent the topic, but better xD

[@robertloera4697]

Awesome videos new subcriber loving it do you travel to mexico and have videos ?

[@alexkay7199]

Was this filmed in the 90s? :D

[@lucydelrey2257]

Sometime last year they did, pretty sure the MD-80s are phased out now

[@kabuterrimondw5919]

Very similar looking to a 717!

[@TheNoobest2099]

It's the same aircraft family, after Boeing bought McDonnel-Douglas they rebranded the MD-92 as 717

[@brkitdwn]

Mr. Marston It's not an MD 92. It was the MD 95. Completely different aircraft.

[@TheNoobest2099]

brkitdwn My bad, sorry

[@kabuterrimondw5919]

Mr. Marston don’t worry

[@brkitdwn]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_MD-90

[@jessesarkkinen9070]

It would be amazing to see a review of longhaul aeroflot flight.

[@simply_aviation]

We already filmed such a flight. ;)

[@gagafruni]

Can you do an Air Algerie trip report or a Royal Air Maroc Trip Report please ?

[@SimHustler]

Those engine sounds..... Damn sounds good!

[@richardsundown2175]

love those Mad Dogs

[@rolfmais8524]

Nice report. A very reliable aircraft built to last forever. Much better than the airbus crap.

[@jacobmanning6864]

Can you please fly Tigeair Melbourne to Sydney

[@manjeroke]

Try new UIA 777. They improved it so much compare to 767.

[@nagiwest4706]

It really feels like it gonna split in the air so old that's scary Nice video tho 👏👏

[@inflightmusic1223]

Can you try the Qatar airways A350-1000

[@anzestricelj]

Meridiana also had 767 but they are very old and dont had IFE

[@0zblox]

Love the md 80s

[@TomGD]

Super awesome video :D
