dank jullie voor dit te delen op RU-vid! zo leuk om terug te zien! ik was er ook die avond, het was echt een superfeest, perfecte plek ook in het paard, top muziek, en de sfeer was super! ik voelde me bijna gewoon weer jaar of 18...ook al ben ik nu 50, ging vroeger elke week naar de marathon, van zeker mijn 14e tot mijn 20ste ofzo. VOLGEND JAAR WEER!!!!! Bedankt iedereen! liefs, Brenda Kettmann
@@brendakettmann4359 hallo, ik film dit al jaren van de Mar, elke keer hebben wij ook dat gevoel van vroeger. Fijn dat je het een leuke film vind, ondanks ik er steeds vals doorheen zing😬
19:05 And to think that 12 years later, another B772 of a different airline parked at gate G3 would crash in Ukraine😢… I literally gasped when I saw this United flight at that gate!
Thank you very much for uploading and sharing! As a teenager, I had two flights on DC-9-30s in 1985. It was aboard Swissair's HB-IFH and HB-IDO. Both jets were transferred to Northwest Airlines in 1988. So there is a small chance this was one of those jets. At Northwest HB-IFH got the registration N982US and HB-IDO flew as N988US in January 1988 and reregistered as N986US in June 1988. Lovely video!
Another great time capsule! I love the faux-wood paneling on the walls of that classic 757! Have never seen one with that type of design… SUPER 80’s :-)
I used to work for Continental Airlines and hated being stuck on their DC-10s middle seat, since flew standby most of the time. Being the coach section had the good old 2-5-2 configuration. Along with being seated towards the rear, the smokers would all shows up and smoke
I'm from Philadelphia (PHL)! I'm glad to see that the airport is still being used as a hub by AA after the merger (and it's growing). Hope to see KLM fly here soon!
The General Electric CF-6 engines made a very distinctive buzzsaw/growling sound when the crew put the spurs to 'em. Always loved it whenever I flew on the ol' Diesel-10.
@@chrisnizer5702 Northwest had the rare 40 series DC-10 that was powered by the Pratt & Whitney JT9D for shop commonality with their 747 fleet. The only other 40 series customer was Japan Air Lines
i started as a dc9 co pilot DTW base in 97 and worked my way to the 747-200 in 04 then transitioned to the 400 series in 2007 after the 200s retired, currently I am a captain on the new airbus a350s for delta. Thank you for producing a nice piece of history for northwest airlines i will never forget the wonderful memories this airline gave me along with a fresh start to my career.
What an excellent video - that was when we still flew DC-9's on longer stages westbound; also, the cabin was the original REPUBLIC configuration but with the mid-90's seat covers. Eventually we modified all DC-9's to the "DC-9-2000" project, with larger galley units, improved seating, new sidewalls and overhead bins with handrails....great shots of the "A La Carte" breakfast service, too. How civilised we were back then...thanks for the memories. Long Live Northwest!
This aircraft is actually at B757-251, a "5500" series ship. Northwest flew four different versions of the B757; however the -300's were not delivered until 2000/2001.
Same here for sure. For me, flying in the 1970s was the most exciting because it was free...parents paid lol. Flying back then was an event that you would happily dress up for. The excitement of heading to the airport to get on a plane was such a joyous feeling. Why? Because back then, the airlines were proud of their brand and the quality of their onboard services. Unlike today, the airlines focus more on profits instead of quality and comfort. Back then, every US airline had a very unique decor in their cabins. For example, back then the cabin of a TWA 727 looked much different than the cabin of a Braniff 727. It was all about uniqueness and style. Unlike today, most of the US airlines all look and feel the same. There isn't any more uniqueness and flavor. Back then there was a different vibe. You knew the flight attendants were genuine when they would welcome you on board. And that's because their main job next to safety, was to make sure you felt welcomed and comfortable, enjoying your experience with them. Today, the main focus of a flight attendant seems to be enforcing the rules. The quality of the food they served onboard was so much better back then, it was served on real plates and the presentation was more appealing. Unlike today, if you are (un?)fortunate to get served a meal, it is presented as if it comes from a school cafeteria. How the times have changed. So yes, this is why I would love to go back to the old days of flying...on the DC-9s, DC-10s, L1011's, and 727's. I miss those roaring, earth-shaking engine sounds. Peace!!
So true,your story, i think its al to blame to the low cost airlines, because all bigger airlines had make tickets cheaper and that made the service go down 😢 You can see thee B 777 is made for 9 seats from side to side , but al lot of airlines made there seats so small so they putt 10 seats from side to side.... so bad and small seats☹️☹️☹️
