    All of you younger generation have no idea the glory of seeing the airports full of the MD88, DC9, B737-200, B727-200, the 747-200 and -300. Those were the days.

      Yes, those were the days, I worked for Delta from 1977-2011 and worked many of those aircrafts. I miss those days and miss those aircrafts.

    I've been on many of these MD-80 and MD-88. I was always worried about having the engines NOT being on the wing, but loved my flying days anyway. Never an issue. Thank you, MD!!!!

    My last flight on a Maddog was on Allegiant about 5 years ago.
    First flight was on a PSA SUPER 80 as it was initially called back in early 80s.

      These MADDOGS beat the 737 Classic in terms of lifespan. I heard that Douglas made their airframes more thick and rigid compared to Boeing, so that's why airlines were always able to keep em in service for a very long time. Too bad the MD90 just didn't work out economically...and well.. technically, if so, it'd still be in service. A piece of history disappearing.... :(

    Great video. I've was bitten by the flying bug and aviation has been a passion of mine since I was a little kid. The first time I ever flew, it was on a Delta MD-88. This airplane has a soft spot for me. Wouldn't think it'd be emotional seeing an airplane retired, but this truly was emotional. Great airplane and sad to see it go.

  • @laidbackphil
    @laidbackphil 4 роки тому +1

    Great video.... Work horse is an understatement for the mad dogs. Most would have 5-10 takeoffs/landings a day. Sad to see them go but Delta definitely got it's money's worth. When demand rebounds I have no doubt the A220 will be the new workhorse. The 717s are nice but they will never be as good as the MD 88/90. Again great video guys.

      I remember about a year ago a World Atlantic MD-80 flew right over my house into Minneapolis, and I remember I was so excited cause an MD-80 hasn’t been to Minneapolis in so long and I saw it clear as day. I’m not sure if they’re going out of business now or what.
