Not the greatest video, but my heart horse and I, enjoying a hack at home way back in the late ‘90’s.

Captain Henry L Buck Retirement Flight '95~ NWA MD-80 MSP-SMF-MSP
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Finally found it this and uploaded! Dad retired from Northwest Airlines on April 13th, 1995, the day before his 60th birthday. He began his commercial aviation career in the mid 60's, starting in ATL on the DC-3 with Southern Airways, continuing to the Martin 4-0-4 and on the Captain on the DC-9. He bid on both fatal Southern flights, the Huntington Marshall State FLT 932 and New Hope, GA FLT 2...

What an amazing video! A flashback to a better time. I may be 40 years old but I want to be like Captain Buck when I grow up.
@@johnmatrix8794 Thank you! Your comment made my day! ❤️
Glad i was around as a kid to fly during this time frame it was so much fun and exciting
I was hired with Northwest in 2007 the last three years of their existence before the Delta merger. The MEM crew room in the beginning was exactly the same in 2007 as it was back then! I was DTW based but remember the MEM crews being so nice and down to earth, as for the DC-9...It was always a symbol of great times and feel lucky enough to say I had the privileged of working this plane alot when we started. Many of 5 day DC-9 trips with amazing crews. ❤ We were so broke but those were literally the best days of my life. Love this video.
It was my baby too.
I hope that passenger got his big brown briefcase in short order. Hope it wasn’t that well dress business looking guy in row 1.

the beep is very very annoying, the rest is great!
It’s a VHS from the late 80’s and is called aircraft noise. That’s part of the charm- you get the ENTIRE experience!
I was 17. I flew OMA-SLC-BOI in Delta 737-200s and 727-200s to register for college that week. I also meet the girl I would marry and have a daughter with. Now I'm 52. I can smell this video. God, I want to go back.
Not many people say that, “I can smell this video.” I think that’s such a impactful statement and so true. I remember the smells of the old Northwest Davey Terminal at Detroit and the smell of DC-10s, 747s, & DC-9s. These videos really do have scent. Thank you for sharing!

@@ryankenyon5010 Sounds perfect! 😆
Aw the good old days when you could chit chat in the cockpit😊
Memphis based 1990-2013…..I miss it so much!!! Atlanta is just not the same….
ATL was so awesome to me as a little kid in the 70’s before the new terminal. Dad would take me with him to the SOU crew lounge to turn in his bid sheets. Listening to his friend Earl Scruggs on 8 track in a Dodge Adventurer, riding the crew bus, the crew lounge full of strong coffee & cigarette smoke, the shrill of jet engines, the tugs in everywhere and the rumble of takeoffs- oh the “goodle days”! Golden Age of Aviation! It will never be the same 😢
@@susannaregister9317Your dad was friends with Earl?
@@1930Granada Yes, he was. They met around 1970 and remained friends until my Dad’s passing in 2007. Earl & Gary called the house when he was in his final days so Earl could speak to him (he was sedated but they say hearing is the last to go- a tear slipped out, so we knew Dad heard his friend). I remained in touch with the Scruggs family, particularly Gary until his passing on December 1, 2021. In fact, we had a nice conversation via text the night before Thanksgiving, lighthearted and cutting jokes. Earl was one of the nicest, most down to earth people you’d want to meet, super humble with a dry sense of humor, much like my dad’s. They are both greatly missed. 🩷
Besy Avi video iv watched Real pilots great sense of humour thank you .
These a-holes sound like some of the guys who screwed the young pilots in the bankruptcy and then tried to take back the crumbs they left to them. With any luck, you have all died terrible deaths. Also, no surprise that this entire video is an unprofessional, egregious violation of sterile cockpit. Morons.
My uncle flew a dc9 for spirit and then northwest. Now with Delta after the merger. On a 757 now.
That must be very tricky for a first officer to hold a video camera back in 1989 while doing their job.
The airlines back then seemed more of a family business. I would’ve loved to work in the industry back then. Glad I changed paths before getting into it 10 years ago.
It was a totally different era- we call it “The Golden Age”- very family-oriented, small regional airlines got sucked up by the larger ones after Carter’s Deregulation Act. Everyone knew each other back then, and when bad things happened (Southern hijacking, Flight 242 & Marshall State) it affected us all. My dad actually bid on the latter two trips and was outbid by seniority. He knew everyone on those 3 flights so it was very personal. Nowadays, you’re just a number. The days of actually hand-flying an aircraft are few- too much automation and sometimes when the chips are down, it’s man vs. machine and debating on whether a computer knows your job better than you. I was working on my commercial when 9/11 happened, then my flight school got “struck by lightning” a couple of weeks later and burned down (many of us suspect it had some help). With my dad’s health in decline by that point, I went a different route. Do I wish I had finished and gone on to ATP? Sure, I do. But I also saw many fellow classmates and instructors furloughed. It changed aviation dramatically. I could have stuck it out, came out ahead when the pilot gap opened up, but some things just don’t work out the way you want. I still enjoy general aviation, both brothers went on to do commercial and corporate. Sometimes change really sucks, but at least there are a few “golden” videos like this one out there to remind us of a time when flying was fun, and not everyone got uptight about being PC and by the book. Cheers! 🍻
I understand sterile cockpit now but man back when that wasn’t the rule this was so fun. 2 seconds before touchdown “you want the gear down right?”
impossible to sit through and watch with the hi-frequency pitch ... over 1 hours of that in your head - NO THANKS. At least pass it through a frequency filter before uploading, seesh!
What was that? I couldn’t hear you the first time! Oh yeah, that’s right. We pilots are constantly exposed to this so, well, it is what it is. Besides, this was VHS converted to DVD by a friend about 10 years ago. Don’t like? Don’t watch. It’s the ONLY video I have of my Dad, other than his retirement flight and in a P-51, so get over it. Sheesh, lightweight.
I had to send my dad the link for this- he was an NWA pilot and captain on the DC9. I’m sure he’d love this!
Truely amazing and enjoyable
I bet that's an old North Central DC-9.
Days when you actually had control over the aircraft and knew how to fly it.
So my memories are real. The good old days of commercial flight are really gone... Happy to have been able to enjoy the dream while it lasted.
Really cool video. Loved flying on the DC-9. Thank you for posting this…….
Is N965N the airplane that Nortwest purchased to replace N312RC??
I guess y'all remember that Continental that forgot to put his wheels down about that year, & bumped the tail😳oh, but he went around and put em down the 2nd time tho🤣
She did make it through her entire career then made into beer cans
Hopefully not Bud Light! 😂 She deserved a better send-off! 😆
@@susannaregister9317 Indeed! Anyone remember Capt. Bentley R. Crank?
fun to watch, thank you.
Great video thanks for sharing it with all of us
It always makes me sad when I look up tose old tail numbers and see that she was scrapped. I always hope that they are flying in Africa or somewhere where there are a few left 😢
Rememnering g an Awesome one of a kind father today ,Hope his goly jad a good day!Lol. Lol Hus hrmtal life from heabsn waiting n watching us, get through life's course!Lol Can't wait to meet em !He Ministered to us all well !Stay on course !God bless yall his family!
I remember the Northwest MD80 crash in Detroit when they didn’t set the flaps for takeoff!! One little girl survived
Hey y'all, I really ENJOYED flying on DC9's with Northwest back in the day😁rode a few times from International Falls to MSP in the very early 80's🤗thank y'all so much & wish I could do it again
I miss flying for Northwest .., our pilots were the best !
That’s not an airplane, that’s a U-BOAT! 😂 Thanks for sharing, that was really great.
To have Vlogging down flat 30+ years ago? Epic... To have TROLLING nailed?! Legendary... 💪🙌💯
Peter Fonda as the copilot lol.
if you watch to the very end the rest of the old vhs this was recorded over plays, awesome lol
Apparently Dad recorded Haunted History because we are direct descendants of Jonathan Buck of Bucksport, ME. He is well known for the witches curse. Totally forgot we have a full tape of it somewhere!
@@susannaregister9317 from by
some say those bananas remain in the wheel wells of this DC-9 to this day
😂😂😂
i feel like every airline in the 80's had a flight attendant named Pam XD
What a great video made my day! Thank you so very much!
I really enjoyed this.
Your Dad was one of a kind. Everyone loved working with him! I always came away from flying with him feeling better about life. Deborah and I had the pleasure of flying home through Atlanta with him on his way home after his last flight. When we got to Atlanta, so many were waiting to say congratulations, I thought he would miss his flight home. You could tell there were others that felt the same as we did. When he retired, he took part of the airline with him. For me, it was never the same place after he retired.
The great old days when men were men, women were women and you could tell the difference.
If I was that Delta at the beginning I'd be pretty pissed
shey don't have masks on These men must've died of COVID some time in the 90s
Actually, my Dad (Captain Buck) passed away on May 12, 2007, from a series of mini strokes. He was friends with Earl Scruggs (long story on that one) and I called his son Randy’s studio in N’ville and left a message that Dad was going downhill fast. His other son Gary (who I remained friends with up to his death December 1st of last year- we last spoke the evening before Thanksgiving) called back within an hour. He put Earl on the phone, which we put to his ear, and although he couldn’t talk, we know he heard because the tears came. That was the friendship of two remarkable men: one a banjo legend who also flew planes, the other an airline Captain by trade, a talented banjo maker (and player) and superb artist by hobby. Now, be gone- because I find your comment to be callous and rude. Don’t forget your mask on the way out. 🪕✈️🚪
Epic old school
This video has given me a chance to reminisce on my childhood. This is absolutely fantastic! I grew up with all of these airplanes along with Northwest itself. My mother used to fly for them based out of MSP. I miss it dearly. Aviation in todays day and age is an embarrassment to what it used to be. All of these electric piece of junks we have now.. how depressing. Thank you for uploading this!!! I can’t get enough of those JT8D’s!!
I agree. This is when I fell in love with aviation and made it a career until it was unbearable and I left it. When I see this video I miss these days.
@@lawrencefreeman3803 I’m in the airline industry as well, it is terrible. It doesn’t come close to what it used to be.. it’s all about the almighty dollar, we employees are just a number in their system
@@jonahair747 agreed 100% worked in the aviation industry for 4 years and counting, keep up the hard work , stay strong!
Hank and Rex were both great to fly with.
Recuerdo los DC 9 de AEROMEXICO que avión tan emblemático y con estética el DC9 EL MEJOR . Gran Gran video.
Are headsets not required back then? I assume the DC9 is a silent flight deck like the A320 because bus pilots rip off the skull crushers at 10,000 feet, Or everyone got bad hearing after a few years flying like this.
