I recently rode on a Delta MD88 a few days ago (and sat in the cockpit😎👍)absolutely AWESOME!!!! Once again great video your work is greatly appreciated!
I have flown on many of these both going to and departing from ATL via Delta Airlines, mainly to and from Melbourne,Florida (MLB). Apparently they are the main workhorses that service that airport unless I am wrong. I love flying on them. Awesome video!
Yeah, what a shame! They are real nice aircraft and will miss them when they are gone! Well, that is why we have youtube to watch and cherish the great memories!
I love TUL. It's my second choice when flying out of the area I live. JLN is first simply because it's only about 20 min from my house. TUL is about a 1 hour drive, but it's a strait shot down I44. It's still small and convenient, but offered a decent number of flights and destinations. Thanks for watching!
As of now all the "Mad Dogs" aka the DC-9 or MD-80's are gone. I traveled a lot on both. In fact, I was a passenger on the original "Baby Nine", that is the DC-9-14. It was 1/2 the size of the DC-9-80. My first time was on a DC-9-14 of West Coast Airlines, the next time was aboard a Hawaiian Airlines DC-9-14. That was in the 1960's.
Are you flying an MD-80 or 90? Unfortunately, the maddogs don’t come to my airport anymore (Minneapolis) Way back in the day I remember flying an MD-80 from Minneapolis to Orlando Florida, and I remember us thinking “what a nice plane this is” it’s cool to see how far we’re come, but McDonnell Douglas will always have a place in my heart. The last MD90 I flew was in 2017, from Minneapolis to Atlanta. That was at least the best flight I’ve ever been on in my whole life.
@@BFFAvgeek15 Glad to hear that the Delta MD-80's will still be flying for that long. I know the MD90's have at least up until 2022, it's amazing to see that this aircraft is still flying strong!
I'm not sure if this is an AA MD-80 remark or a question either. Either way the bases are covered by @Airwipe and @gatorbuc99. Thanks for watching guys!
I don’t remember the exact date (The exact date may not have even been announced yet), but Delta did release a rough retirement schedule for their MD-80’s and MD-90’s. It was by the end of 2020 for the MD-88’s and by the end of 2022 for the MD-90’s.
@@sla31 Gotcha. Btw did you ever fly on the Great 727..... I remember as a kid watching and hearing them roar down the runway with my Grandpop in the late 90s /early 2000s brings back good memories👍
I thought all the American MD-80 series where retired, is that a ground training aircraft? Nevermind found answer, "except for two special aircraft, currently located in Tulsa, with plans to move them to a museum in the future." thepointsguy.com/news/american-airlines-keeps-single-md-80-for-training/
Yeah. This was right before I flew to DFW to take the final American revenue MD-80 flight. It's still sad that they're gone now. Thanks for watching guys!

Thanks my friend! Fly those MD’s while you still can!
@@sla31 Oh yes
I miss flying on those MD-80s. I call the sound of the Mad Dog whine in the turbine!
Good ole Mad Dog. Good maintenance to keep this bird in the air for almost 30 years.
And a very rugged design. Thanks for watching my friend!
Good to see delta still has mad dogs
Not for too long though. Fly them while you can! Thanks for watching!
These planes give you the best flying feeling! Good oldtimers.
They definitely do. They will be sorely missed when they're all retired. Thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks my friend. They'll be gone before we know it. Replaced by 737's and A320's. Enjoy them while you can!

717s now.
what a beautiful plane the MD80 is !
Thanks for watching my friend!
The only airline still flying the MD-88 in the US... Great video mate! What do you think of TUL?

I just came in there last night on an airbus 319 spirit. Cool flight! :)
Thanks my friend! I'm glad you liked it! I hope you had a good flight.

Must be so nice to get inside that fantastic plane!
I'll never tire of flying the MD-80's. Oh how I wish American still had them. Oh well... All good things must come to an end. Thanks for watching man!
@@sla31 Air Bulgaria still have some Mad Dog's, I will try to fly in one of them soon, is the best chance I have here in Europe!
Nothing like flying on the ol mad dog!✈️
Enjoy it while you still can. The sun is quickly setting in the old mad dog. Thanks for watching!
I'm going to fly on one of these in three days, exciting!
I hope you have a great trip my friend!
Sweet! Always good to see the maddog! I’ll be flying in one of these on Mar 17, 2020!

I’m flying on an MD-88 from Omaha to Atlanta, they still fly in and out of Omaha

Thanks for watching guys! Enjoy the MD's while you can!
aw 😊 my first flight ever was on this bird, and that exact seat
now she's gone 😭
Say Yes Plane!
Got a ride on one of these birds a week ago and getting on another one on the 2nd, getting on as many as I can before they are gone.
That’s right my friend. They’ll all be gone before we know it. Enjoy them while you can!
@@sla31 I plan on enjoying them! Would really like to get on the last flight too if I can.
Another Chewbacca sounding Motor on an Elevator!!
Thanks for watching my friend!
just love the md 80 series
Me too my friend. Thanks for watching!
i was aboard the first mad-dog; the baby nine or DC-9-11, the airline was West Coast Airlines.
A variant I never had the pleasure to fly on. That’s pretty cool my friend.
Great Sound
What's a good aviation video without the sound to accompany it. Thanks for watching my friend!
Lovely
Love the mad dog 80
Me too my friend! Enjoy them while you can! Thanks for watching!
great video , liked
Thanks for watching my friend!
At around 3:30 the plane moves forward a bit
Why do planes have to retire
Is that a lighthearted way of being sad about the Maddog retirement or an actual question?
Airplanes pressurize and depressurize every flight; the structure expands and contracts slightly. They can only do that so many times.
I'm not sure if this is an AA MD-80 remark or a question either. Either way the bases are covered by @Airwipe and @gatorbuc99. Thanks for watching guys!
I heard from the captain on my recent MD88 flight that Delta will keep flying these planes until end of summer 2020.... Can anyone else confirm this?

B. E. Russell No, it’s a commercial flight. The Date was Aug 30, 2019, that’s 6 days before they got retired.
@@BFFAvgeek15 thanks

Dang I looked that plane up, its first flight was in 1991.
An old bird for sure. It’s sad to see the MD’s disappearing. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 no problem, your videos are amazing! Just seeing this reply.
This bird which is the 717 is safer.
