  • Thanks for watching another Captain Cooper Video!
    Date: 02/03/18
    Airline: American (AAL)
    Aircraft: MD82 (Super 80)
    Aircraft Reg: N7550 (27 years old)
    Flight #: AA2476
    Seat: 26A
    Flight time: 2 hours 15 min.
    Cruising Alt: 34,000 ft. (FL340)
    Arrival Gate: C27
    On this trip, I simply just felt like flying on my favorite planes and booked three flights on them this day as well as a 737 back to ATL this evening. I met up with a great friend of mine Jason, for the day. Some of ya'll will know him as @the.jetsetter so go give him a follow on Instagram and snapchat! We decided to meet up at DFW and spend my first layover there together and do some spotting with him there. I saw him off on N972DL his MD88, and he caught my arrival into Dallas which you can catch at 48:12. This was another amazing flight on the MD82 and I cant wait for the others in the future.
    This is one of the last 10 MD82's flying in the American fleet and in the USA.

    Love the old AA livery. It was iconic & the shiny silver fuselage & tail was unique & beautiful. Wish American had never fixed something that wasn’t broken.

      @@troyandrew6154 I actually think their current livery is nice and clean. That said, the chrome of the old livery is classic. Wish they could've incorporated that a little bit more in a modernized design. Don't they still have a few retro liveries? And also a few ERJ's that are due to be retired somewhat soon that they haven't gotten to repainting.

    Thank you for the trip report. I was so used to flying domestic TUSDFW or TUSORD, normal on S80 equipment. The first time I flew on a 777, it was like the feeling of trying to lift a huge building into the air. The Super80 hummus you to sleep and the loud fan sound of the 777 hums you to sleep. Good times, good times.

      AirlineTraveller Thank you! I've actually got a ton of Maddog footage to upload so I'll be kept realatively busy with editing as well as college work lol. Glad I took the time to film so much when I wasn't in class because now I really don't have time to spot much at all. Glad you liked it my friend!

      The older proven technology is far safer just look at the crashes and subsequent grounding of the 737max as an example.
