I appreciate that buddy, thank you! 🤙

What kind of courier is Usa Jet? Usa Jet comes to my hometown airport sometimes. Sometimes I have noticed that they have scheduled service and sometimes they don't show. Great video.

[@jonahair747]

Thank you! & USA Jet Airlines is a cargo airline moving tons of car parts around the US, Mexico & Canada based out of Willow Run Airport in Michigan. About 15min away from DTW 🤙

6:35, ho ly shit dude! I'm a bit pissed I've never heard a -15 now.

[@jonahair747]

Those JT7’s are NOT quiet. Best sound in the world. At idle, they have the sound of a DC-9 & MD-82 mixed together. Music to my ears!

[@AccessAir]

It's crazy to think that 35 years ago this airplane was shuttling in and out of Detroit and Minneapolis and Memphis carrying passengers from Northwest. I'm just sad that it had to be exported to Mexico and will probably never be seen again especially if they use it just for parts airplane.

[@jonahair747]

I know, it should STILL be carrying passengers. That airplane could last for 100yrs if it was taken care of properly. & actually, Aeronaves changed its registration to their own. I think it might have another life ahead of her

@@jonahair747 The three DC9s they bought from Kalitta Charters are now flying with Mexican registrations... there's hope for this one 🙂

[@dalmavs34]

Are they still in business?

[@jonahair747]

USA Jet Airlines IS still in business. But, unfortunately they retired their DC-9’s last year.. USA Jet still has 727’s, MD-88’s & one MD-83 and Falcon 20’s. 🤙

@@jonahair747 sweet, I might have to check them out and fly on them. Miss flying on the 727 and the md 80s

[@jonahair747]

@@dalmavs34 You cannot fly on them. It’s a cargo airline. It does not fly passengers

[@dalmavs34]

@@jonahair747 that sucks, that’s for letting me know though

@@jonahair747 the last passenger airline to fly them was FLY SAX - Africa as recent as 2018.
