Those really were the days. I had my first flight as a kid roughly in 1990 when DC-9s and 732's regularly flew into small airports like ILM (where my family vacations a lot). There was such an awesome variety of planes back then. It was an aircraft enthusiast's dream.
Love these DC9 vids, I come from an airline family and those sights and sounds are in the blood. Thanks for posting! I can almost feel my ears popping :)
I love the sound of DC-9. I like the whine of the Pratt and Whitney JT8's particularily on takeoff. Its amazing that Delta and Northwest used DC-9's for over 40 years
Very neat video..Memories from the late 70's..I flew to Las Vegas Nevada McCarren International Airport .Departing from Ontario International Airport aboard the DC 9 Hughes Airwest Airlines aircraft..It was a 45 minutes flight approx.230 miles.I remember the Capt.saying our cruising altitude would be 29,000 ft...The video is so cool, i sat almost always exactly were this video was
Wow, those old JT8D's really do sound amazing!! Never had the chance to fly on one of these old classics, so this was really awesome to watch. Great vid!
This is a cool and awesome video! The engine startup was great to listen to. The view of Lake Michigan was magnificent indeed! Those engines have a very distinct sound upon takeoff. It's sad that most of them are being taken out of service. But that's the down part of advancing in aircraft technology. They did a great job while they were in service. I flew on one once in the summer of 1979 out of Ontario International Airport to Las Vegas with my older and younger sister. I think it was on PSA.
the first jet liner i flew on when i was 5 was a Texas international DC-9(not sure the exact model ) wow that was an experiance compared to the single engined planes flying with my Dad.Ive flown alot over the years but that red, white,&blue with that big star on the V-stab they were beautiful! I also loved flying their convair turbo props.those were the days!
You just can't beat the quality, smooth, and comfortable ride of the "diesel 9's" or the "mad dog" MD-80's. They are the best commercial aircraft in the sky and look way better than most of the crap
@c31570 That's very cool. If they were 1968 on NWA then probably DC9 30/40's. MY one and only DC9-30 video (N8928E) had a MFR year of 1967. I believe it was the oldest passenger jet in the US when I flew it last August. That was 3 weeks before it was taken out of service.
@LoveJT8D Yes, I've booked 22A but if I can I'm gettingg 24A. I definitly will be getting the registration. I'm leaving in about 3 hours. I am so pumped!!!!
I took more DC-9s as a kid than many people have taken flights period in a lifetime. Grand old bird. This brings back memories. Thank you!
I remember the days when DC-9s would set off nearby hotel car alarms in the parking lot during takeoffs. You gotta respect the 9.
...just can't get enough of that sound!

Those JT8Ds sound epic

I always enjoy flying on a DC-9 or one the variants. Just watching this makes me want to fly. Can't understand why anyone would be afraid to.

As I think the 717 sound is unique and pretty cool, I have never been able to compare it's sound to anything until now lol. That is pretty spot-on.

i love that sound of the DC9s engines being always out of sync .. chug chug chug!!
As loud as those engines are I can still hear the hens cackling in the background!

@c31570 Same here, such an awesome pulse of the sound frequencies. You are lucky to have had a career on a very great and reliable plane.
