    Thank you for making and sharing this superb video. The production value is fantastic. Great camera angles and cinematography. I enjoyed your dialogue with the flight crew. They were a joy to listen to. This is one of the best cockpit videos I've ever watched. I love the DC-9. I think it was the very first jet I ever flew on -- back in 1969 or so. Great plane. Cheers.

    A fabulous aircraft and kindly crew! I love all these old birds. I just downloaded the relevant scenery for X-Plane and am going to recreate the route in the 727, 737-200, 747-200, and MD-80.

    What a great video, beautifully photographed and edited! The DC-9-30 was my second ever flight, the first being on the B-707. The captain mentioned the performance of the DC-9-10, the baby pocket rocket. I flew many times on this series on Midway Airlines from Chicago and it really did leap off the runway!

      What was your favourite flight and why ?

      F/O was just checked out from training and they learned of the filming project just 10 hours before the flight. They both agreed mutually that Captain works in front of the cams and F/O does all flights next day. Very helpful, real pros!
