The whine of those engines takes me back to my childhood flying in the 1960s...

When todays aeroplanes get old I don't know if we are going to miss them like the DC8, Boeing 707s and the Vickers VC10.

A powerful roar that solidified the jet age in commercial air transportation.

The first time I ever flew was on a DC8 back in 1974, Gatwick to Palma Mallorca. Compared to aircraft used by most package operators such as BAC 1-11s, DC 9s, early 737s this plane looked huge, especially with its four engines. I was only 16 and was so proud to fly on such an iconic airplane.

Awesome, Diesel 8’s and the 707 true work horses in their day.

Reminds me of walking through the air terminal as a child, and the whole place reeked of jet fuel, the smell of adventure! And that was only the 80's.

I just love the designs of older jets. So simple and sleek

Nothing like the loud, high pitched whine of the old jet engines. A real treat to hear that again thanks! Brought me back to my 60's childhood trips...

It’s amazing how quiet the modern jet engine is when hearing this, still a wonderful sound…..

I have to say the smoke was amazing, but even more amazing was the smell of the exhaust when it was being marshaled in. It it's so hard to describe how great the aroma was but if I had to describe, it was basically the smell of Jet A being burnt old-school style haha.

Way back in the seventies when the world seemed a much gentler place I was an engineer on these machines. I will never forget how proud I was when I was granted my licenses as an engineer on 43..53..and 63 series DC-8 Aircraft. If anyone in the world is looking for a 78 year old DC-8 engineer ...well I,m yer man...!

Such a unique sound, it almost sounded like the jet is going to take off when it started taxiing. Man I love these old planes, their look, sound and the overall feeling when you see a DC8 or 707 is truly amazing. Great footage!

I miss the smoky old jets, they really had character

In 1986 I flew on a DC 8-62 from Copenhagen to Tel Aviv with SAS. It was magic that plane. We had a very good flight and I was able to visit the cockpit what is not possible today. So today we have planes such as the A330-B 777 and new 737,s but it will not be the same as those old good planes we used to fly longhaul in the 60.s and 70.s

I worked the ramp loading DC8's for Flying Tigers, we called them Greasey 8's affectionately, but although loud I really liked their lines...flew the freighter in the jump seat behind the pilot SFO, LAX, HNL...for my first of many times to Hawaii!

Warm sweet smell that immediately cues images of how jet travel used to be.

That engine start up is fucking amazing...bone chilling power

So many things about the 1960s were so cool!

So cool to see JT3's still flying. The whine and smoke are music to the eyes and ears!

What a beautiful airplane. My very first flight was aboard a United DC-8-62 in Friend Ship livery. It's been my favorite aircraft ever since. Thanks for the video!

I flew between the UK and Scandinavia a lot in the 1980s. This was mostly on 737s and DC9s. One day at Kastrup, SAS had technical problems with the scheduled aircraft and we were told await a replacement. To my surprise and pleasure they rolled out a DC-8 and so I got to fly on one of the classic planes from the beginning of the jet age.

Wow! You don't see engines looking or sounding like that any more! Beautiful noise!

Four of the most evocative aircraft sounds for me - the Tiger Moth, the DC3, the Lockheed Electra and the DC8. Many thanks for the video.

Flew to Hawaii twice on the Super DC-8 When United had them back in the 60’s. Loved every moment.

JT3D's, one of the best ever made.

Big nostalgia hit just at the end hearing that distinctive roar. Grew up next to Gatwick in the 70s and this took me right back there.

Began flying as a young boy with my parents. Flew lots of DC8's, Eastern and Delta. Several "stretch" versions, as well.

I miss the sound of Proper Jet Engines like these

Love it! I miss this so much. Airports used to such dynamic places to be near to: the noise, the food delivery trucks, etc. The smoke used to make it easy to follow a jet's trajectory after takeoff. It made you dream of where those people were off to - aerial ports of call, so to speak. It just isn't the same today.

I've worked around DC-8s a few times and I work around B757 everyday and I agree with the amazing aroma of Jet A being burned smells amazing weather it's from a DC-8 or B757.

I remember watching those DC-8 landing at O’Hare back in the day and those dirty engine exhaust trails, just like the 707s. 😎

Agreed! Any video can't do this plane justice as far as delivering the unique acoustics of the JT3D's.

I flew on ATI cargo/passenger combo configurations as a passenger for years to and from USA to overseas US airbase. This was the sound of ur ride going home and the sound of mail and food for the BX.

Arriving from or going to Lajes Field in the Azores, ATI’s two remaining DC-8-62CF’s were regular visitors at Baltimore Washington International (BWI) on Saturday & Sunday afternoons until they were sadly retired in 2013. I loved seeing one come in on 33L and knew immediately what plane it was by the very distinctive whine of those four JT3D’s. An hour or so later she would depart on runway 10-28, using only a third of the runway for the takeoff roll! It was a joy to watch and I really miss seeing them. Those planes were a bit of nostalgia from a bygone era.

Superb footage. The sound quality was also excellent.

The DC-8 had always been one of my favourite four-engined aircraft ! Liked :) and thanks for the link, by the way !

Miss the sound of low bypass ratio engines

I'm sure that was an amazing experience to fly this plane. It was such a treat to be this close to it.

In its time both Air Canada and Canadian Pacific airlines operated Super 63 DC-8's in Canada. Because they were the largest aircraft of their time they were very long and if you sat in the rear of the plane when it took off on rotation it looked felt like your rear end was going to hit the runway (actually not far rom the truth). Also the noise was really loud (great) and the kerosene smell was very strong(even better). One time my wife and I were returning home from Africa where I worked for 3 years and we were leaving Amsterdam on a KLM super 63 and the plane was packed. We started down the runway throttles wide open, the plane gained speed very slowly and seemed to stop accelerating and it seemed the runway was about 3 miles long. Finally the nose was raised and we very slowly climbed out over the Atlantic. Two and a half hours into the flight the plane began to lose height very quickly until we got so low we could see the tops of the waves on the ocean. The pilot tells us over the intercom that the windshield has developed a rack in it and we would have to fly vey low the rest of the way without pressurizing the cabin. Flying this low also meant we had to make an extra stop in Gander Newfoundland because the dense air at that altitude meant we used much more fuel. He had to get special air clearence and we flew the rest of the way to Toronto on a perfectly clear day up the Saint Lawrence to Toronto. No issues but I KNOW he was really pushing it for max takeoff weight

Look at the smoke from baby! That's the good stuff.

Was lucky to fly on a Air Bahama DC-8 back in the late 70's, attendants were great and provided me games and toys (I was seven or eight). Thanks to allow me to re-live this here !

Terrifically smooth take off what a great aircraft.

I remember going from Sweden to New York with Island AIr year 1984, making a stopover in Reykjavik with a DC-8 :)

I grew up with this sound on the dash 63's. My dad worked for Tigers and I went to work with him occasionally.

Used to enjoy travelling to Prestwick airport to watch the daily Air Canada DC8 63 flight arrive and depart. Also fond memories of British Airways VC10 and Spatax Convair 990 turning over my house on finals going into Glasgow Airport, also the BEA Vicker Vanguard. How I miss those aircraft. Like modern cars, so many modern aircraft look and sound so boringly similar!

The design of these and the convair 880 seem much more streamlined than today's jets never really payed much attention if it was 707 or dc8 flying over when I was a kid though.

On the title page of the video, it said JT3D-3B's. The 62 Series DC-8 is powered by the JT3D-7A (Long Ducts). The JT3D-3B engines have the short bypass duct and have the Cascade Door Thrust Reverser midway down the engine. I worked the 50 series and 60 series DC-8's for many years. Great Airplanes!

Got to fly these while on furlough from America West Airlines 1992 to 1996, loved flying them. They could be a real handful though, proud to say I flew a piece of history. Flew the 61,62 and 71 series

I have some moments when I go to these video's to listen to the old symphony of the older jet engines. Mainly JT3D/JT8D, Kuznetsov NK8 and Soloviev D30. Also some fighters can really be enjoyed. The first Mig's and Sabre's.. and I have a weak spot for the Avro Vulcan Bomber. That haunting howl is amazing! the noisier, the better! 😁

Beautiful classic vintage jet!!!!

An oldie but goodie!👍 Gotta love low-bypass engines!

Marble machine and of 1968 woo, a good, wonderful and fantastic experience.

My God, those things were loud!

I preferred the B-707 for its ride in turbulence. The DC-8s had almost zero wing flex and rode harder in the rough stuff.They were also a bit faster in cruise. I did get an early DC-8 to 39,000 ft. across CANADA.

Rare sight like the 747-100s I had the pleasure of seeing one up close

That take off sounded great, takes me back to the days of the Trident and BAC 1-11 I used to watch at Manchester Airport many years ago, they made such a noise that Pilots had to throttle back once airborne because of complaints from the Well Off Cheshire Set at the end of the runway. I saw one of the first Boeing 747 Jumbos take off from Manchester, it's climb rate was pathetic it was that slow, I thought it wasn't going to make it off the runway and the noise was horrendous. The VC10 that took off behind it was down the runway and gone in half the time and I thought at the time I know which I would rather travel on and it wasn't the Jumbo.

Miss seeing the old stretch 8s flying in and out of Dayton international airport when Emery worldwide was still going strong. Use to see them all the time back in the 90s

Are classic jet tours still around? Seems like a great way to experience flying on a classic jet no longer in commercial airline service...

Thanks for the video. really brings me back to my chilldhood

Beautiful! Smokin' , Roarin' ..... Love it. true classic aviation

This DC-8 is still operational with Samaritan's Purse. And apparently, they're looking for a second DC-8 too.

Four engines & a Flight Engineer.......perfect.

Back in the late 60s all through the 70s braniff Airlines took me back and forth from Chile on dc8. Love that plane.

Every dog within 100 miles is howling!

I flew for the first time a McDonand Douglas DC-8 62 from Bangkok to Copenhagen in 1969. It was a SAS aircraft and we made a stopover in Tashkent. Old times ...I was 24 at the time !

I had the privilege of flying on an Air Spain DC8 from Manchester(UK) to Gerona(Spain) in 1974. A proper plane with a proper jet sound.

I'm pretty sure that's what they did. I wasn't sure of the order but I knew they would start on the left side. It was kind of a gamble as to which engine I focused on. I didn't see the exhaust out of the outside two when began to taxi so I'm guessing the started the other two closer to the runway.

6:22 Shiiiiiiiii ! Little one ! Respect the old gentleman ! 😂

Nice DC-3 in the background too.

Love that sound man

Difficult comparison reason being both planes would need to be in the same space or very close to compare but I suppose it possible with really sensitive recording g- meters with recording and time marked graphs.

I worked for b a c corp building hush kits and flight testing them years ago for jt 3d 3b the dc8 was a real work horse miss those days

Concentrating closely on #1 while they are starting #2! Well done.

what a beautiful plane she was !! 🤩 so classy !!

I flew on a Spantax DC-8 once in 1979. On the route Amsterdam- Palma De Mallorca. Even for me as a teenager it was clear the inside was pretty worn off.

I love classical sound!! this is real airplane sound!!

A symphony ! from my childhood !

Awesome job!

Flew in a Stretch-8 once out to Denver from the east coast about 40yrs ago. I found out where the term "Tube Effect" came from. That's why they have more Wide Bodied aircraft now.

I really liked the video, thanks!

I love that scream.

Just amazing! ✈❤👍🏻

absolutely beautiful

The # 4 engine was extended over dirt and rocks. Starting was delayed until clear.......

like those JT3D-3B Engines. Longer DC-8-61 uses that engine too.

On Aug. 21, 1961, a Douglas DC-8, a heavy jet designed for commercial use, became the first airliner to go supersonic. It's a beauty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_DC-8

please bring back this good old times.........

Flew flying tiger DC8 airline flight to Vietnam June 1968! Unforgettable

Simply beautiful...wowzzerrrssss....

This plane is now in museum

Airports were noisy and smokey back in the 60’s!

Music to my ears!

I miss that noise soooooo much, wish to turn back the time!

This was a combi airplane. Great airplane. Worked on, flew them as PFE. Sorry, but the long duct engine was z -7, not -3. Many differences in design and power output. Thank for sharing.

I LIKED THE ONES WITH R.R. CONWAY S THAT STARTED WITH A HOWL" ARRRR".

Viaje muchas veces en el DC 8 , no había diferencia con los aviones de ahora con respecto al pasajero , excelente avión.

Surely these aren't JT3D's? The cowls look different, very long and straight. The JT3D's usually step narrower near the back, or taper in the case of early models. Are these a modified version?

Today actually one of them DC8 are flying again. Not from ATI but another company is flying it rn for the rescue missions against corona

I'm a TF-33 fan, thanks for video
