Amazing video... So awesome... I was part of the crew.. It was a very emotional day for all of us.. It was very hard to say good bye to her that day... So many great layovers and awesome memories.... Thank you so much for posting this video.. Amazing.
They had the newer -600Rs yeah. Very different beast from classic B4s Pan Am and Continental or Eastern had from the 70s. AAL got their first one in '88 and the last one in '94. The youngest airframe was only around 15yrs old when they retired them. The oldest just over 21yrs. Originally they were gonna keep them until 2012/2013 but they decided to phase them out a few years early. Half of them were leased, the other half they owned. They owned the newer ships.
AA stupidly trained their pilots before 587. If you force the parts to drive a car, it will fucking break off. That's part of physics. You don't use rudder in turbulence. It's not the plane, its the way you use it, genius.
I miss the AA 306's so much. Now the 76's are gone too. The 1980s widebody twins were the best. Nothing is forever.

David Pinho funk you 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
U jelly?
@jhonata, Shut up man
I was onboard an MD80 on AA heading to MCO that same day out on the TWAY and watched them t/o was kinda too young to understand
why does it look like it was filmed in 1991
Jayden Rice thought the same thing lol
Still used a cassette
Probably filmed with a Camera from the era. My parents filmed family events with a tape recorder from 1993 until 2017
Definitely miss the sound of the older engines.
The best livery that American Airlines had.
So bad what happened with one of this model in 12 November 2001.
why does video looks like its from the 80s. Man doesnt feel like 2009 is 14 years ago , time flies.
I didn't know that AA had their A300s up until August 2009.

@@ELcinegatto87 That's amazing!
When the American Airlines Airbus A300s retired back in 2009.
That rudder still scares me
Yeah
It was pilot error.
Company error more or less. That's how the pilot learned to follow the company operation of the aircraft.
The A300 was its best... Exept for its vertical stabilizer
It was the crews fault.
There were hundreds of A300 in the world. Any of them, lost their rudder ever. Only one. I guess the rudder, stabilizer were not that bad.
r i p this beauty they could just remade the same aircraft in 2023 i mean also they should put this in rfs in to the same livery and aircraft
Farewell AA
È stato un ottimo aeroplano....😉👍
Lmaooo kinda sounded like a RB211
Not too much rudder input now, wouldn’t want to...
