The emergence above the cloud layer at 11:40 is just beautiful, this is what I love about flying. BOO to those who sit by the window, close the blinds and miss out on this type of wonder.

[@noelstoehr965]

I am freaking scared of heights, so I will not be looking out the window whenever I fly.

[@MD88Pilot]

+noel stoehr guess what. im a student pilot and I fly planes. but the catch? I'm afraid of heights :)

[@noelstoehr965]

MD88Pilot Im like that as well. I hate heights, but i love flying. Kinda weird.

[@MD88Pilot]

noel stoehr I think it's cause we are in like a closed platform and not anything open.

[@gerardmoran9560]

I've been flying for decades. I can't even watch a movie scene of guys fighting on a roof. I think our fear is of falling, not heights.

[@NovejSpeed3]

At 13:14 You know you are passing 10000ft because the pilot gave two attendant attention pings and you can see the wing landing lights retract. Awesome video.

[@manhoot]

love the mad dog 80

[@retroguy1976]

I flew on a md-88 back in 92 actually delta from newark to orlando

[@phuongaongoc9054]

If longger more 4min is beautiful. Thank you very much very much

[@mixedupmenopausaladhd3999]

I was worried about the right aileron until it finally laid down well into the takeoff roll.

[@justinmiller5280]

Will be booking a flight from Boston to Fort Myers In a month or so and will absolutely pay extra to get a connection through Atlanta to fly on the MD88. Won't be around for more than another year or so. The last real "golden age" aircraft still in service.

[@MD88Pilot]

that's what makes me cry in my head sometimes. the MD88 was the first plane I flew on besides a 172. It's my dream to pilot one. but my dream will never come true. I really hope there will be people who still seel them in the future. I really hope I can get money to buy my own, but it won't happen. she is a beautiful bird.

[@juangil6252]

I'm pretty sure you will be able to in some of those airlines that simply love the bird and will keep them for more years.. there are MD-80's from the 1999's so plenty of airframe life.

[@justinmiller5280]

Juan Gil Both Delta and American plan to have them retired by the end of next year if I'm remembering correctly. Those are the last carriers in America to fly them.

[@juangil6252]

Justin Miller In north america you mean. I live in Venezuela, we have around 5-8 regional airlines. Laser Airlines, Aserca Airlines, Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela Airlines, SBA airlines, Conviasa Airlines. Guess what ? they all have MD-83's hahah, only exception it's Conviasa.

[@justinmiller5280]

Juan Gil Nice! You're lucky. Too bad DC-10's and MD-11's are not active anymore.

[@cjdorsett2123]

Beautiful

[@zona1953]

Awesome sound!

[@juggsauce]

Damn sounds like a bearing is bad on the gearbox or something.

[@monicagerber6585]

I MIGHT GO TO THE RENO AND TAHOE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT THIS YEAR TO BOOK A FLIGHT FROM RENO TO EATHIER FLORIDA OR ILLINOIS AND I LOVE THE SOUNDS THEY MAKE WHEN THEY GET READY TO TAKEOFF AND LAND FROM AIRPORT TO AIRPORT AND IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO THE RENO AND TAHOE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO GET ON AN AIRPLANE OR A JET PLANE THIS YEAR AND WHEN WE TRAVEL I HOPE ITS GOING TO BE AN AIRPLANE OR A JET PLANE AND ID LOVE THAT BECAUSE IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GET ON AN AIRPLANE OR A JET PLANE AND MAYBE I MIGHT FLY THIS YEAR I HOPE SO

[@EthansAviationYYC]

Were the engines on the MD-88 louder or quieter than the MD-90?

[@thecaynuck4694]

@@BrewCityChaser Really?

[@seanfreiman8310]

Nice video! Is it just me, or did it seem like an awfully long engine run-up once they took the active (8:20)?

[@stephennichols7348]

Nice power brake takeoff, don't see those too often anymore.

[@TakeDeadAim]

I once flew MidEx from MKE-ATW in an empty(there were 7 Pax) DC-9. I watched a college basketball game with the F/O in the lounge while we waited for the Capt to arrive on a deadhead. Anyhow...I did the pre-flight with him and was sitting in cockpit when the he finally arrived(obviously pre-9/11). We talked flying for a minute and he simply said "This will be a quick flight". It was 11:30Pm when we rocketed out and up to 12k in about 2 min. Wheels up to wheels down was 19 min. Pilots will often want to "punch" through known icing at lower levels as quick as possible, so will conduct a max thrust take-off so they can get above the freezing clouds.

[@adventures8977]

TakeDeadAim MidEx was a great airline with fantastic passenger comfort and cookies. I wish they were still around.

[@timeckert68]

Of course you did 😂

[@tiho887]

which seat my friend? im going to fly with a md88 on seat 34

Mind if I use this audio in a FSX video? I'll give full complete credits!

I like it. It's nostalgic. Thank you.

[@thecaynuck4694]

@@sixfoursoul2538 I like the taxiing phase, especially with these engines

[@murdamechanik]

Look at the repair on that inlet. It looks like crap. Retire this plane

[@Tigerwarhawk]

Why? Because of the look of a repair? This old, reliable MD-88 still makes money for Delta. If I had the choice of taking the 320, 737, or MD narrowbody, I'll choose the MD anyday.

[@adventures8977]

Tigerwarhawk I like that the MD has a 2X3 seating arrangement.

[@HEDGE1011]

murdamechanik Unless you hold an A&P license, your opinions about the cosmetics of an airplane repair are irrelevant.

[@gerardmoran9560]

Retire a well maintained jet because a bird or rock hit the inlet lip? No.

[@thecaynuck4694]

That's not a reason to retire a plane.
