- Window view from African Express Airways McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 5Y-AXF during landing at Wajir (WJR), Kenya. Operating flight XU528 from Mogadishu (MGQ), Somalia to Nairobi (NBO). This aircraft was originally delivered in 1968 to Iberia.
One of the best cockpit videos I ever seen. It doesn't get much better than this.
Proper aviation enthusiast video, could watch classics all day.
Wonderful - Got to love all the analogue clicky - clicky action and all those mechanical sounds - A 180° turn on the middle of the runway - This was just sheer beauty to watch.
Thank you. That was amazing to watch. The men and women who dreamed up and built the first DC-9s would be proud to see their baby following in the footsteps of the DC-3.
Beautiful video. Professional all around. What a nice looking flight deck for an older aircraft!
Very nice flying….very professional job…excellent communication and division of duties between Capt and F/O. The way it should be done! Respect.
I lived in Africa for 35 yrs have flown with kind of planes several times. Loved it.
Wonderful video. Very professional. What nice looking flight deck for an older aircraft!
Now that's flying... Mad respect for you guys👍
Great video. Thanks. I love watching pros flying beautiful classics.
Gawd. Look at the leg room in the passenger area. Those days are gone.
Terrific video, great aircraft, and a great crew. Thanks for posting
Beautiful cockpit 😍
Absolutely fantastic airplane!
Incredible!!
Airforceproud95 well well well looks who’s here,,,
A man of cultural I see
Beautiful landing
Jolly good flying there Boys
Well done..
Proper flight not mambo jambo robots. My respect!
*mumbo jumbo
@@memegod4433 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Right on, man. Real pilots, not computer operators.
Kabisa!
Enjoyed watching this video.
what beautiful images, above all, the pride of being able to fly a plane that we no longer see in modern fleets, but which in that reality represents an objective achieved. In a sense, a modernity
It looks like that these pilots should not have any problem piloting modern air machines.
@X X lol ik
@X X True they will quit the next day for wasting time in the air 😆
Excellent work.
Very Nice analogic aviation and Nice bird ... 👏🏻💪🏻capitain And first oficcer
Nailed it!
I used to drive a 1963, VW that looked like this plane from and to work for 15 years while Iived in the USA. So I can relate to this pilotos.
Old school flying. Exercising the arms and leg muscles. Great 👍
Also old school in that it looks like an old Garmin portable gps is sitting on top. If that is what that is, that's a little scary haha.
@@BiggieTSkinny true, thats what i thought. navigating using that old garmin would be crazy, specially on a DC 9. haha.
5Y-AXF African Express Airways McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 Age 51.6 Years
@@BiggieTSkinny yes, it's a Garmin
@@BiggieTSkinny you greenhorns are funny. we didnt even have gps when i flew the 9. and we went into imc all the time.
Real flying, of the sports car of the skies, the DC--9 !!!!!
i love how old the plane is
I don't think I've ever seen a DC-9 with the autopilot controls on the dash like that. I thought that's where the light switches were and nav frequency/course selector knobs were. Interesting.
Thank you very much for this great channel!
thanks for these wonderful videos!
Great video and flying skills
Very nice video, loved they shared the flight deck with you~
The DC-9 doesn't fly you. You fly it. Old school, and better for it.
Real Aviators!!!! No glass Anywhere except that baby GPS... WOW
B. Evans I love me some analog airplanes too.
These guys work together like a well oiled machine.
Nice landing.Professionally done by well trained pilots👍!
1968-works great
At least this aircarft is safe from the risk of Electronic Hijacking or Hacking where nobody knows who did waht to the Aircraft. Respect for both pilots.
Really Awesome!
Crazy. You are so lucky
The Mad Dawg in action! 👍🏽
DC 9
Dawg classic 9 😁
Very impressive...
Great Crew! Very professional.
very nice landing👍 and great video
I love this Plane :-) Please bring back this Time of Aviation......
3:06 'Show me the dance of your people' Classic
Great Video from the best Aircraft ever build
That's the great thing about Africa: if you ever want to relive the 1960s and 1970s, just fly around in the aircraft there.
Ok, that was epic
Great landing. Thanks to the pilot expertise. Not to dum computers. Good old days.. sigh.
The cockpit side windows are straight out of the apollo space program
TomCook1993 Looks like it! 😃
I watched that video too.... not your line...
ÁFRICA Y SU GENTE LINDA BENDICIONES ...............
Respect !!!
Great Video! Awesome landing on a narrow runway 👍🏽
The runway is wide enough ask me I am there resident of WJR
I like old planes and old cars. Built better in the old days.. Look at the MAX 8. New is not always better...
Super nice 👌
Parabéns pelos grandes trabalhos realizados. Brasil
Amazing
I bet the seasoned captain has flown everything.
Beautiful plane! Great pilots & landing! But I feel dumb... I never knew DC-9 had rear stairs!!
Not all of them did. Original order Customer preference. For instance, EAL DC-9-31s did not. Delta DC-9-32s did. Northwest had a pamphlet for their fleet showing which ones did and which ones didn't.
Dana Danarosana MD-80s have them too. I got to use the stairs last time I flew with Alegient.
jpsheffer I've flown Allegiant several times. Sadly, they recently pulled out of here (DLH). But the last time I came back from LAS, it felt as if the #2 engine was going to vibrate the plane apart for the entire 3 hour flight!!
Yep dc9 shits people 🤣
727 as well.
Great video
Somebody send them some spare parts! Dc9 is a tough bird.
smooth
First flown 1968, still in service!?
@Archangel jup. But the same problem with good cars if it lasts too long no one buys new...
This simulator looks very realistic.
😂😂😂😂
Beauty...
Welcome to Kenya 😊😊❤
No silly computers or grass cockpit flying the plane all manual flight
great video
what is the small center knob on the autopilot panel that they keep turning? doesn't have any writing around it. heading selector?
it operates the horizontal wing tail stabilizer also called " Trim tabs"
@@lauty4357 are you serious? THAT is their trim wheel? who thought it would be a good idea to put it in the middle of the dash. wow
super 👍
Nice job.
Sweet
like a boss
WOW ! That;s one beat up looking cockpit......but they walked away from it. Good landing :-)
👏👏👏🙌
seems like cap's vsi needs some adjustments, @0:52 it went back to normal shortly after
Why I am feeling relaxed seeing this old lady??
Cool!
Great video...good job guys!
Do we still have to land at wajir every time?
Waooooooooo is older aircraft
Very cool body
Anyone know the history of -AXF?

Very nice landing. This might be stupid, but I fly the DC-9-32 on x plane. It seems like a lot of youtube approaches involve high N1s, this approach is being flown at an N1 of 60%. But there are some on YT in the 70s where it appears to be constant power on final. Is that due to a high nose up attitude? Even at max landing weight and flaps full with the nose roughly horizontal, an N1 of 60% will result in acceleration to over 160 knots quite quickly. Even at max landing weight, you would have to be at least 2.5 degrees nose up to maintain constant airspeed at an N1 of 60%. I was thinking this approach may have been as high as 5 degrees nose up prior to the flare, or was the plane just heavy?
Inconsistencies in required power on approach is a common inaccuracy in flight sims, even stuff like a PMDG which is considerably lower in power required than a 737 pilot has said he needs on the line in a -800.
Ultimately its far easier to make systems work according to computer logic than to create a realistic dynamic representation of engine power curves and aircraft performance. In that case the right way to sim is to apply technique and not hard numbers and just pretend you have a different engine installed than the real pilots have.
That said N1 isn't an absolute description of thrust output. EPR is so if your EPR is the same as the real ones then the engines are nominally producing the same thrust in that phase of flight and its technically accurate in its own way. It also depends on the engine of course. N1 is only a number that means something to a particular engine. EPR is much more accurate when dealing with dissimilar tech as far as I understand it.
2 questions:
1- Are you using the same engine type ? many 30s have JT8D-17s which produce more thrust than other older variants also used in the DC9, maybe you are using JT8D-9s .
2- Are you approaching with Flaps 50 ? Pos. 50 is rarelly used nowadays because of the high engine thrust needed (noisy / expensive) for keeping Vref, usually niners land at flap 40. Flaps 50 is used only in emrgencies, also, many DC9s have some sort of lock preventing the pilots for selecting flaps 50. Maybe only use 50 for very short field landing, runways < 1500 meters.
And btw, this approach aat final seems to be @3.00 ° my friend, look at the VSI in short final, couldnt possibly be 5.00 ° ;)
I know when I flew the 727-200 simulator at then Continental in Houston, my Sim instructor said they use fuel flow numbers for the various parts of the approach.
I was a new flight instructor at the time and paid $800 for a two hour ride. That was back in 1988.
It was a two axis sim.
Great staff...lots of fun. I even requested if we could do the flight profile of DELTA flight 191, an L-1011 that became a victim of a micro burst while on approach to KDAL.
The sim pitched up when hitting the ascending air of the MB and I reduced thrust and pitched down to recapture the glide slope. Then I flew into the decending column of the MB and rapidly applied full power to get back up to recapture again the glide slope.
It all happened pretty quick, and I was familiar with the accident details and the NTSB analysis and probable causes.
It was the 2,500 fpm decending column of air plus spoolup time that brought them down. Had to be a frightening ride for both crew and Pax. So tragic.
My weekly commuter plane
ÓTIMO POUSO, BRASIL OK.
I dont mean to sound mean but the plane looks so analogue, hardly any digital touch.
Nothing offensive about that. These planes were made in the 60's, so that would be why.
Well it is like 50yrs old and that means these pilot's are actually flying plane rather then just sitting and monitoring the computers while the plane fly's itself.
@ Fred Kosgey. My first car had no gas gauge. Really, a 1956 VW beetle. A wooden stick was supplied and was stuck inside under the hood to dip into the tank in the front and was graduated in gallons. Lol, Today, they bitch if the electric windows are slow. Digital communication in those days was usually a raised middle finger to imagined offenders. Lol.
How do they even maintain or service these things since these planes were decommissioned
Anil Jacob
It’s Africa. They don’t maintain anything.
@@chrisj197438 racist
tymob gamer
They jogger rig it
Duct tape
Is it my bad view or they were under the glide?

i think delta american and united airlines has more dc 9s for sale they took them out of service i belive they have 727s l1011s dc10s for sale also
Never had any at United. The ones we had at Continental we got rid of around 2001.
Ese avión es muerte segura
Piękne lądowanie, a dla moich biednych oczu,KOSMOS.. 👍👍👍👍👍🤗uwielbiam patrzeć
Lol GPS on the dash!
excelente voo.parabéns cmt!
Que avião velho , caindo os pedaços na cabine , eu teria receio de embarcar...
Respeita o dc9, rapaz. Maquina!
Is it an airport or bus stop 😂😂😂😂
Dang look like if that plane does a hard landing it’s gonna fall apart
It would take a lot for a DC-9 to fall apart. Built like tanks!
Douglas Corporation built planes to last. Frankly, if I was Blessed with tons of money, I'd purchase a classic plane like a DC 9, MD 80 or B767-3er retrofit them for air worthiness & enhanced safety and fly around the globe with my 👪
