AMAZING JT8D-217C SOUND! STEEP TAKEOFF! LASER Airlines MD-81 YV469T CCS-MAR Part 2 Taxi and Takeoff

LONG ENGINE RUN UP! LASER Airlines MD-81, the only airline operating MD-81's in scheduled passenger flights. Flight Onboard YV469T, a 1993 MD-81 that operated with Japan Air Lines until 2009. It is powered by two Pratt&Whitney JT8D-217C's.

Great engines, each time a Delta MD80 flies over our house, I know what it is. Have to appreciate it while you can. About 8 years ago the 727 flights stopped and now we'll see the last of the JT8D's once the MD80's are retired.

+eisenbahn it sounds like a hairdryer

[@MBLRStudios]

luckily, that won't happen for a long while...

[@thecaynuck4694]

Delta just retired all their MD-80's and MD-90's. Aviation enthusiasts have to go to Venezuela or somehow get a charter on World Atlantic Airlines before they retire them.

@@thecaynuck4694 Truly a sad time

[@Danold]

Hey, I know that plane! My company does the heavy maint on Laser's fleet. Just finished a -82 for them, YV2927 i think. Have a couple more to come too... retired American Airline ones. Cool Vid!

[@neurospizz75]

Best sound in the world next to 'dinner is ready'.

[@DiscoPonch]

Seriously, this is a really cool video and the sound is incredible. Thank you for posting!

[@LoveJT8D]

Are engine run ups like that normal prior to takeoff? I know on many aircraft, a run up is standard procedure however, I have never flown on an airliner where they do a complete engine run up on the runway prior to takeoff power.

[@poppiarlin5612]

Sometimes it’s done for a shorter runway.
Sometimes it’s for dislodging possible ice on the aircraft

[@joseph_studio4403]

GE-90 and the JT8D. Hard to tell which one is more powerful.

[@Danold]

Yup, in brunswick. Yea, both of those aircraft are here. 461AA is currently being worked on, majority of the maint. is done, still will need interior and exterior painted Laser colors. These American Airlines planes have been in great mech shape! Very few discrepancies for a C check! I hear they are getting rid of their DC9-30s, YV231T, 332T, 331T... Fine with me, they require alot of work everytime they come here!

[@joseph_studio4403]

Haha.Thanks for the FAQ.Even the thrust is very different but the sound.....both are very powerful

[@WildWildWeasel]

Yo estuve en un 81 yendo de Maiquetia a Porlamar y en un 82 de regreso, ambos de LASER, la verdad que el miedo por la anticipacion es peor que el despegue y el recorrido en si, esos JT8D son una belleza total y suenan brutales cuando van a full.
Si no me equivoco los 82 tienen el JT8D-219, pero el sonido no cambia mucho.

[@fernando13e]

Todos los JT8D suenan brutalmente exquisitos, todavía hay 727s que circulan pero como cargueros.. ya no hay ninguno que vuele rutas de pasajeros a menos que nos vayamos a Irán jajajaja, como dijo otro usuario aquí, hay que apreciar la última generación de JT8D que quedan ya que no falta mucho para que los retiren tambien.

[@manhoot]

Love the mad dog 80

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Very nice awesome sound 👍

[@mariavirginiabermudez7733]

Are you sure is not a -17

[@FL2070]

The MD-80 series did not use the JT8D-17.

[@JT8D200C]

Ace pilot G do you mean -217

[@richardassidoravicius6203]

God Almighty.

[@acepilot0073]

JT8D-17

[@timeckert68]

They wanted to make sure the engines wouldn’t shit out under maximum power - what a bunch of junk.
