Too bad I never got to fly on an MD-90. I LOVED the MD-80's especially American Airlines seat 30F. The best looking MD-90's are the Saudi Arabian to me.
I just noticed that the number 2 engine wasn't started until 9:36 during the taxi out. If you listen very closely you can hear the distinct sound of the other side engine starting.
I just love at 15:25 how the engines begins to roar. As they get louder, you see and feel the plain take off in full speed down the runway, and than LIFT OFF!
In spite of being 65 years old and have flown hundreds of times I am still fascinated with jets and airplanes in general! Incredible piece of human engineering!
That's a long taxiing-out! And because the efficiency of a jet engine is extremely low at cycling speeds(it requires probably a few thousands horsepowers just for that low speed) it should be a not unsignificant amount of fuel cost just for the time it rolls out to the take off lane. Shouldn't pulling cars be an option worth to consider?
I love it and it excites me to be inside and feel the enormous power and POWER of the thrust of the engines. It's like a drug but without side effects.
Yes when I was a little kid I loved 2 B sitting aft near the engines of the DC 9/MD 80 for excitement but later as I got older I considered it 2 B a Bad Seat !! Nevertheless I enjoyed flying these mc DONALD Aircraft because they climbed at a steep angle wich fascinated me !! 😊😊
