American Airlines - Doing What We Do Best

Please leave a comment. This is a video compilation I made of clips of the American Airlines's DC-10/MD-11s to the American Airlines song from the 1970s, "Doing What We Do Best." Enjoy the show! By the way, I did not record this footage.

Finally - a DC-10 commercial with no "death chamber" comments

[@ThatBearHasMoxie]

You mean calling the DC-10 a flying coffin? Something like that?

[@munich_fan]

I worked for AA in the late '80s/early '90s. Such great memories!

[@tracycolvin7789]

Exactly!!!! So did I!🥰 I miss those days!😥

[@Brenda1371]

I love that tune. I find myself singing it out of nowhere sometimes right in the middle of public places. I notice people lookin at me and then grinning.

[@THECARS7879]

Please American Airlines, bring this slogan back

[@nicderkez3544]

Well if we are doing that. Why not bring back the plane looks and the DC-10

[@user-e-idk]

@@nicderkez3544 the DC-10 is severely outdated and not really safe and technologically advanced compared to today’s Dreamliners.

@@user-e-idkIt was the human’s mistakes that causes DC-10’s crash that are common and not due to its design.

[@user-e-idk]

@@eduardgenardandalis1437 the dc-10 though is far back in tech and safety to current airliners. I was addressing to the comment why bringing the DC-10 is not viable

[@ayodontkys]

Because of its flaws, that’s why most people call it the deadliest plane ever.

They need to bring this back

[@jocelynharris-fx8ho]

They need to undo de-regulation, so that we can go back to the glory days of air travel......period.

[@sethsteener]

though troubled, the DC-10 was a pretty plane

[@49happydog]

Thanks for listing this video. Brings back a lot of memories.

Lyrics
I love flying far and wide
To see the land i love
Climb to find the blue horizon
The sun and sky above
It's my flight and i know its right
And i just smiled inside
From the sunrise in the east
To the sunset in the west
We're american airlines
Doing what we do best

[@jackieharris2854]

When I was a kid in Los Angeles this was my favorite.

[@googaagoogaa12345678]

i love this jingle along with the CO jingle we really move our tail for you both so catchy

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Looking very nice..

[@busofmauritius8306]

Nice to see it even features AA competitor, UA

[@nenblom]

[@canadianplanespotter]

When's the last time you saw an airline TV commercial like this?! AA does it right :)

Canadian Plane Spotter I wish they were the same way there were in this add today in 2018

Me one second after getting some Flight 191 Flashbacks: 😬

[@iekoom]

I love that little song! Were people a lot smaller then? Or were seats a lot bigger?? :)

I wish I could have been around during those pre deregulation days! When today's first class equals 1970s economy ;(

[@laurendellenbach1489]

The dc 10?!

[@friendlysky7674]

My question….what date was this made?

[@marcox2937]

0:43 that’s actually an American Airlines MD-11

[@user-e-idk]

Or DC-10-30 which American also had and have the middle gear like the MD-11

[@marcox2937]

@@user-e-idk actually if you looked closer at the nose there’s the MD-11 name, and the airframe is also longer than the DC-10-30

[@user-e-idk]

@@marcox2937 But it literally says DC-10 in the side and the MD-11 wasn’t even in production in the 1970s when this commercial aired.

[@bsd107]

Nope, not an MD-11. You can tell by the engine nacelle shapes,and even their paint schemes. Plus, you’d need a Time Machine to put a MD-11 in this commercial

[@marcox2937]

Well guys the footage here is quite blurry, but if u see Mayday S05E01 the same footage is used, but the MD-11 logo can be seen more clearly
