To be honest, I think the mad dogs are amazing! American leaves them in the old livery and it makes them look much older than they are. Delta has always been updating the liveries on the MDs and they look almost brand new!
AA leaves the Mad Dogs in the old livery, because its cheaper. As they re supposed to be retired by the end of 2019, why would you repaint an aircraft for only a few months? Well only AA is able to answer this... **my little avgeek heart :** Fuck the money now, dont let these MDs go !! Repaint them !! Keep them alive !!
Gosh, there is something about a traditional cabin that is just so appealing. It looks so much more comfortable and homey. Newer cabins look sleek but they lack the appeal and comfort of older cabins.
From what I've heard from AA Employees, the MAX grounding isn't affecting the retirement of these lovely old Maddogs. Shame to see them go, I've flown from Tulsa to DFW many times on the MD-80s. Love the engine sound. Edit: Working on getting on a retirement flight for one of the MD80s
Let's hope so. Who knows how long it will take the MAX to be re-certified and pilots re-trained. American certainly has enough parts planes in Victorville to supply components for MD-80's still in service.
Me a few years ago : wow the new aa livery !! I can consider it as a special livery :D Me nowadays : wow the old aa livery !! I can consider it as a special livery D:
I always love seeing polished aluminum on livery, they don't do it now to make cleaning easier, but when shiny all jets look better polished with no paint.
ryan olson Exactly. On AA especially. They should have left the old livery, it made the airline stand out and look unique. The new one looks gloomy and average.
Thank you for great video about MD . I had in my plans to fly from SEA to Dallas especially to get flight from Dallas on MD but it did not happens yet ... but i watched great video from you. Thank you one more time!
Oh I was at Dallas Love field this day 😃 and I made a short hop at DFW to give back the rental car at 5am. Damn what a coincidence 😀😉 Great video though. I subbed
hi qman, hope you enjoyed your brief visit to texas, rocking the UT colors! come back often, you are always welcome here. great video, thanks for taking me along. good job my friend.
Another awesome video Quintin! I miss flying on those! Too bad they are being retired by the end of the year! I hope many of them can be refurbished and continue flying for a few more years. Always wishful thinking! I have not had the pleasure of flying recently since taking out T Mobile post paid service back in 2016. I would definitely take advantage of the free Gogo inflight internet for us To Mobile customers! Again another great flight! Always my personal best for you! Always safe travels! Mark in Iowa.
you flew the day of my birthday, you flew the day of my birthday, good video, thank you these videos help to know the environment when one travels also to those same destinations
These were basically my childhood aircrafts. Ive flown on them a bunch of times. They were originally supposed to be all gone by the end of 2017 but I’m not sure what caused the retirement delay. But still, I don’t want them to go :( Anyways amazing video!!!
Hey Q, another amazing trip report, the MD80 is a design classic, I hope she is around for a few more years. I can’t agree with you more on the old American Eagle livery being the best. Hey I’ve got an EasyJet life jacket, it was one used for training tho. 👍💯😎
That was nice the cabin crew in the back did not mind you coming to the back and taking photos...I think the pilot crew team was leaving it seems and the flight attendant crew was doing a turn...Thanks...You be safe....
It’s always a recognizable sight to seem AA MD-80s at DFW. Sad to see it’s becoming a rare sight. Nice that Delta continues to maintain the MD-80s and MD-90s well and keep them up and running.
today's Q re-view is brought to you by orange juice, tomato juice, and safety cards. honestly, is there anyone in the sky happier than qman when he's on a his beloved Mad Dog? well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra, thanks for sharing!
The old livery and logo will always be treasured but the new one is more modern and no other carrier has a better country flag representation on their tail than American in my opinion with the various shades and colour selections.
I think it would be cool to do a rather unique route. Fort Myers, Florida to Düsseldorf, Germany with Eurowings. It’s kinda crazy how a small airport like fort Myers can handle a transatlantic flight.
I always find myself flying alone🤦🏾♀️😭 My last 2 flights I flew on Easter Sunday and both flights i had the rows to myself. Soooooooo it's better to fly on the day of a holiday..... GREAT SEATS😁✌🏾
Wow that old airplane! I ride before on Alaska Airlines from Anchorage to Seattle and to San Diego and Seattle to Anchorage. Now retired use Boeing 737 since now.
Southwest is down 90 flights per day because of the B737 MAX debacle, I wonder how many AA is short? I follow another channel and two RUclipsrs were going to fly back from Florida yesterday and both of them had cancelled flights on different airlines.
@@QFSAviation it was an amazing experience I only flew that aircraft.because it did some amazing destinations how ever as a flight attendant it was not really friendly because you could not bring out the meal or beverage cart out so everything was hand walked.was your father a airline crew.i like that you are such airplane enthusiast like my self have loved aviation sence I was 7yrs old i would go too SFO every Sunday and spot airplanes. then took flying lessons but did not like it so I went with cabin attendant and have gone too places that I would never imagine ever of going.
3:36 That reminds me of Poul Go (from Pinoy Travel) whenever he knocks on the airplane while boarding. You're kind of inspired by Pinoy Travel in this video.

I love the MD. I am sorry they are going away. I really. Hate the 737 max that is replacing them, it is a cattle car that crashes.
I enjoyed the video. I will Miss those Mad Dogs.
Gosh, there is something about a traditional cabin that is just so appealing. It looks so much more comfortable and homey. Newer cabins look sleek but they lack the appeal and comfort of older cabins.
Kim Core agreed, traditional cabins are generally more spacious too, most modern ones (particularly when flying economy) feel cramped

I love those maddogs, have yet to fly on one, but Tulsa isn't too far away. It's a shame to see them head off to Roswell.
@@theshellacstation78 thanks. I just don’t want anyone’s in trouble for me. Appreciate of your helps.
I just love the sound of those MD engines, especially reverse thrust.
Loudest sounds on Earth
50ft thunderstrike
Formula 1 full power 10ft
MD80 takeoff 1mi
Wonderful video as always! It so great to see the MD-80s still flying around with major carriers. =D
This aircraft looks gorgeous in the old American livery 😍
Me a few years ago : wow the new aa livery !! I can consider it as a special livery :D

i wonder what it would look like in the new livery......probably absolute insulting garbage...
Thanks QFS !!!
Great video! Love the classic seating and the McDonald Douglas on the window!

cool classic trip with the MD80....love the sounds...good job Q :)
Ahh! I love the MDs. So beautiful in Americans classic livery.
Enjoy them while you can.. American only has about 34 of them left!
hi qman, hope you enjoyed your brief visit to texas, rocking the UT colors! come back often, you are always welcome here. great video, thanks for taking me along. good job my friend.
Really liked this trip report, and all the great footage. Two thumbs up!!
I really love this channel. Please keep up the great work!
a lovely and beautiful jet the MD 80...nearly finish...:( good report !:)

Omg I love that livery right there :O 1:16
Mamá zararar
Maha zararar
Good report. I like your ratings at the end, thank you.
the memories are coming back: the American Airlines MD-80, DFW, the Skylink, everything (except Memphis, which I've never flown to).
Awesome vid Q! Landings and takeoffs are my favorite as a fellow aviation geek!
Amazing video dude 👏
Also I flew an MD-80 from Norfolk to Chicago it was pretty cool and it had the old logo.
I think all the md80's have the old logo
you flew the day of my birthday,
you flew the day of my birthday, good video, thank you these videos help to know the environment when one travels also to those same destinations
Wow...
this tripreport is one of the best i have seen
QFS Aviation Good job :D !!!
Amazing tripreport!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways amazing video!!!
Who else loves md 80s in 2019
who else wishes that the MD- series were never retired ever???
Me
Me for both
Me!!✈️✈️
Who loves fokker f28?
Awesome video! I remember listening to those bad ass planes take off from LGA and fly over my apartment in Forest Hills.
The livery reminds me of a Greyhound bus from the wing forward!
Great video, I look forward to seeing your vids
Nice to see one of the old TWA planes still in the air.
Luckyyyy.......I always wanted to ride an MD-8O....Nice vid!
Mike Delta 8 Oscar ?
Gotcha XD
Yep....
Very nice video Q. I don't remember having seen any MD-80 flying in Brazil. I flew on an MD-11 and DC-10. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Q, another amazing trip report, the MD80 is a design classic, I hope she is around for a few more years. I can’t agree with you more on the old American Eagle livery being the best. Hey I’ve got an EasyJet life jacket, it was one used for training tho. 👍💯😎
The most beatifool plane at the word 😍
The Mad Dog kicks ass
:)
Lmao the looks people give you when they see the camera xD
MD-80s use to always fly in and out of my town. Now, it has ERJ-175, B737-8, A320, and CRJ700’s.
That was nice the cabin crew in the back did not mind you coming to the back and taking photos...I think the pilot crew team was leaving it seems and the flight attendant crew was doing a turn...Thanks...You be safe....
When the MD 80s are gone I will very much miss that livery
They've officially made the tricolor livery a retrojet in their fleet. So you'll still have a chance to fly
These Beautiful Mad Dogs are at least 25 - 30 yrs or more...right? Well I love'm and will miss them when they all retire.
It’s always a recognizable sight to seem AA MD-80s at DFW. Sad to see it’s becoming a rare sight. Nice that Delta continues to maintain the MD-80s and MD-90s well and keep them up and running.
Really nice of the crew to let you explore the aircraft a bit after landing! I’m assuming they let you keep a safety card as a souvenir in the end?
3:36 I do exactly the same before I board a cruise or a flight 😂
I tap the top of the threshold myself.
Me too
Just because i want my blueprints on that plane forever
today's Q re-view is brought to you by orange juice, tomato juice, and safety cards. honestly, is there anyone in the sky happier than qman when he's on a his beloved Mad Dog? well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra, thanks for sharing!
Awesome work. Thank you for the videos. Keep them coming. I enjoy the music as well...are you willing to share the titles or source?
I find the old American Airlines logo is better then the new logo
Flew on the mad dog a few time in delta comfort and first class. Very quiet up front.haven't flown AA.
Great trip report. Do you think you can do a trip report on Air Transat or Sunwing. Maybe even porter Airlines
I took a great shot of my experience on the MD-83 from mem to Dew as well
Cool man! I really enjoyed it
Great video! I flew an MD80 from CHS to DFW a few weeks ago. Probably my last! 😭😭
Was that in the morning or afternoon before meal service? Ok, you take care......Cute music as well...Nice...
Flew this bird two weeks ago. Our airplane's registration was N501AA.
I can't wait on May 6, 2019!!! Flight first class Atlanta to Phoenix then Phoenix to Bakersfield, CA. I'm so exciting
I'm going hiking on PCT
The old livery and logo will always be treasured but the new one is more modern and no other carrier has a better country flag representation on their tail than American in my opinion with the various shades and colour selections.
Lol, the best part of the plane is sitting in seat 29F and hearing the engines during takeoff.
29E* :D
Alestra www.seatguru.com/airlines/American_Airlines/American_Airlines_MD-80_B_new.php : P
Yo I like your longhorn sweater , go horns. And great video.
I agree the mad dogs are my favorite aircraft
I always watch these videos to see if I'll spot myself in an airport.... LOL
Haha that’s cool!
Love them or hate them, they're probably the most comfortable jet AA currently flies, at least seat wise.
Hello broo 🙋 which boarding pass do you like the most with the Telephone or with the Ticket ??? 😉👌 greet me please 😢😢
I think it would be cool to do a rather unique route. Fort Myers, Florida to Düsseldorf, Germany with Eurowings. It’s kinda crazy how a small airport like fort Myers can handle a transatlantic flight.
Wow that sounds like a good idea! Maybe I'll try that soon
It's so funny how many people tap or touch the fuselage when they board the plane. When I would go up and wait for gate check I'd see people doing it.
I like it too. It's nice that the plane gets some affection.
I always find myself flying alone🤦🏾♀️😭
My last 2 flights I flew on Easter Sunday and both flights i had the rows to myself.
Soooooooo it's better to fly on the day of a holiday..... GREAT SEATS😁✌🏾
Wow that old airplane! I ride before on Alaska Airlines from Anchorage to Seattle and to San Diego and Seattle to Anchorage. Now retired use Boeing 737 since now.
this is the best livery every, who gon tell me otherwise?
Looking very nice.....Fly safe always..
I like the md 80 engine startup
I like the Delta md-80s because if there new cabins and of course the livery
Qfs I love the mad dogs the loudest engine ever
around 7:30 I noticed a yellow tanker truck spraying liquid. Bug spray ????
It might be de icing maybe the plane is from somewhere cold like Canada. As this video was taken in February
WHATS QFS ITS ME YOUR #1 FAN 😀
OOPS I MEANT WHATS UP
😳
I love the video
3:22 why are the engines covered?
Can you do a trip report to Columbus maybe
Thanks.
Nice vid Q, as always. Where do you get this sick music from?
Thank you! I use a music service called Epidemic
These planes were really comfortable to fly on
Ótimo vídeo
I really hope you enjoyed my great city!! I recommend you try Rendezvous BBQ, and check out the Pyramid.
Thanks! I’ll try to go there next time I’m in Memphis
wait... when was this recorded because, a question of mine has been in my mind for a long time “are there still metallic AA’s?”
Qfs question 1: what editor did you use
Question 2: what’s the speed number
The venerable DC-9 durable, stretchable, easy to reengine and far superior to the 737!
Southwest is down 90 flights per day because of the B737 MAX debacle, I wonder how many AA is short? I follow another channel and two RUclipsrs were going to fly back from Florida yesterday and both of them had cancelled flights on different airlines.
Oky hi I love your videos but I hav a very important question should I fly with Delta or United
delta, ua is improving but still its had its shit id suggest delta but your trip do what you think is better
older planes are they safer than the news planes ?
What kind of first class dosent have a tv?
Some of these are only 20 years old and were delivered to TWA in the late 90s
Woah I had no idea that American Airlines planes with the old paint job still exist.
They will be gone soon. Hop on one while you can!
QFS Aviation I don’t think any fly to Sacramento International Airport (my airport)
Can you do a trip report to Los Cabos Airport?
Another awesome video.not a fan of the super 80 never was.i was and will of the 727-200 that was my baby.
Thank you! Wow how was the 727? My dad tells me it was an amazing aircraft!
@@QFSAviation it was an amazing experience I only flew that aircraft.because it did some amazing destinations how ever as a flight attendant it was not really friendly because you could not bring out the meal or beverage cart out so everything was hand walked.was your father a airline crew.i like that you are such airplane enthusiast like my self have loved aviation sence I was 7yrs old i would go too SFO every Sunday and spot airplanes. then took flying lessons but did not like it so I went with cabin attendant and have gone too places that I would never imagine ever of going.
I like this video
I’ve been on one myself.. such an incredible airplane, but as nice as the engine sound is.. it’s a bit noisy
The old livery is soooooo beautiful. The new one sucks
I like both
Both are sexy asf
The MAX will be back flying before the MD80 retirements.
3:36 That reminds me of Poul Go (from Pinoy Travel) whenever he knocks on the airplane while boarding. You're kind of inspired by Pinoy Travel in this video.
I personally prefer the new livery over this one and I wish American would have put it on the MD 80s to at least make them look a little fresh.
Was that the same McDonald’s in the last md80 video?
They’re the only planes still in the old livery.
Well some ERJ 135's for American Eagle have yet to be updated yet
