I got seated in 35 or 36A (the very last row, no window) on one of these for a RIC-ATL flight a few years ago. May as well have seated me inside the engine. Takeoff was deafening but reverse thrust was a brain-cleansing experience.
Before power on check! Battery on, start pump on, apu momentary switch to start, BTB auto transfer, hyd and trans pump on,, set brake, check eoap faults, select apu air auto, beacon light on, fuel pump switches on, engine start valve switch held open, "There it goes!!" n2% =22, fuel switch on, n2%=40, elec bus tie breaker auto transfer, attendant chime, release start valve, n2%=52 idle, eng hyd pumps override elec pump, egt starts rolling back....Allright let's spin #2
The md-80 has the newer JT8D-219 engines. The have a very different sound than the older variants like those of the 727, 737-200, DC-9. Those older engines were way louder even with a hush kit.
Awesome video! I spent many years overhauling and repairing the JT8D’s that power these birds. My job was to build and balance the compressor and turbine modules. I loved every minute of it!
I put a lot of those Pratt’s internal bi-pass JT-8’s through the test cells.Let’s don’t go back to the JT-3’s, (military J52’s) Gas hog smokers mass air displacers , whooa let’s go! Every jet engine has it’s own compressor signature. What you say? Can’t hear you? I just here a high pitch sound? Grind and compress that air, let’s go! Why are there pistons? Somebody likes sitting over the leading edge or is that in the back,MD-80’s I always sit there, just a little forward of the compressor blades, don’t want to get chopped in half in case they go somewhere else.

I had a seat right beside the engine and I couldn't see anything out the window from MBJ-ATL deafening sound
Dont know how many times i fell asleep to that sound. The only plane M Douglas got right. Miss them 80s.
MD-11 still going strong with cargo airlines though. Also do you include the MD-90 and 717 (MD-95) in that category?
F-15, F-18, C-17, KC-10, Harrier, F-4 Phantom, Apache, Tomahawk missiles, the first Space Station, the Saturn rockets for the Apollo missions

You are right about that!
long takeoff roll but these damn things look like rockets on takeoff. insane takeoff climb performance
Might have been close to max takeoff weight so a bit longer roll and yea, it seems like the mad dog does climb out fast.
@@barryaiello3127 due to noise reg they only able to take off at 80% power which is why the long roll... once off the ground all bets are off
You can tell these pilots love the JT8D's
to hell with the Delta fuel saving procedures..fire these bad babies up!
JT-8D. A giant spin dryer
Love this great shot of the Queen of the Skies before take off. Mad Dog is a rocket ship.
Back when jet engines were loud and layed down the smoke...I miss it from a 737 pilot.
Love the sound!!!!
Brilliant job recording a brilliant startup! Thanks for sharing.
Today’s planes don’t sound nearly as good on startup from inside the cabin.
@@MTLTV-eu4nv hell no they don't. these jt8 sound angry. I love it
@@spaghetti9845Hence the nickname “Mad Dog”.
Yep awesome seat and sound. I have sat back there so many times and always loved it!
When the fuel lights off.. Thanks for this and not talking
Love the mad dog 80

So you are either a Capt or 1st officer
Wow you know a lot
The "Mad Dog" still flying
I can feel the floor shudder under my feet on startup!
Absolutely! Will definitely miss those engines
The buzzsaw during takeoff though.
Good job filming this.
the sound of flying!
Now I know why its nickname mad dog that take off. Like a dragster
These JT8D engines used on a Boeing 727-200 and a Boeing 737-200 aircraft.
The md-80 has the newer JT8D-219 engines. The have a very different sound than the older variants like those of the 727, 737-200, DC-9. Those older engines were way louder even with a hush kit.
I wish i got to fly on one
Yah
I flew on this one it was amazing how they can break when landing
were my eyes deceiving me? wind sock sure looked like quartering tailwind
Never noticed that until now! Probably explained the long roll
You have to run the tail number to see what engine are on these classic dc9-80's. Not all of them were jt8's.
@@thomasburke7995 the Delta MD-88 are powered by JT8D
@@southwest82 the IAE v2500 was certified for all of the MD airframes and I have seen two of them in the past operate out of KIAD - KATL.
@@thomasburke7995 that was the MD 90 and 95, not the MD88 that this was filmed on.
How about shutdown too?🥺🙏
Hard to believe these junkers were still flying just 5 years ago.
