The sound (and smell) of these old jets is intoxicating. I grew up on this noise in the 60s and 70s and it put aviation into my blood. While I love the modern jets, they don't quite have the "wow" factor these classics have.
They're not loud enough let's face reality Who doesn't love the sound of A727 flying over your house After take off or when it's landing The answer very very few.
Brings back the good 'ol days in the 1980's when Md-80's, 727's and DC-9's ruled the skies. There is nothing like the old JT8D loud smokers. Todays jets don't have it.
Love those old fashioned super loud jets music to my ears Made in a time where people loved the sounds of jet engines. I remember the time where they did not reduce power after take off concerning population areas they kept it full throttle and people loved it.
El 727-200 nunca pasará de moda, ese avión es un caballo de batalla tanto en el uso de carga como en el uso de pasajeros. Ese avión 727-200 será mi favorito por siempre.
Ah yes… the classic good old days of aviation. These aircraft were the work horses of the 60s all the way up to the 2000s. Today’s Jets don’t have this awesome loudness these old vintage birds have.
I'm an A&P for a major airline, and have worked extensively on both. Let me tell ya, the MD-80 is the BIGGEST pain in the ass to work on. The 727 was built much better.
Agreed, yep, I'm retired A & P , worked on 72's & DC 9's + 10,000 hours 72, 74 FE. Would LOVE to get my hands on a Super 27 with the MD 80 outboards. ! Yes sir, those things would have some grunt !
Yet the MDs soldiered on in commercial passenger service (in the USA anyway) until just a few years ago. I haven't seen a 727 pax service in America since the 90s. The 727 was built around it's biggest selling point (back then), the possibility to operate from unimproved fields (gravel/dirt). Naturally it would need to be a bit more rugged.
A more fair comparison would be a DC-9 or a 737-100 or -200. The MD-80 has a quieter version of the Pratt and Whitney JT8D. More powerful, too. Some privately owned 727's were re-engined with them but only the fuselage engines.
I worked for continental airlines for 5 years and working around the 727-200 was exciting.. md-80’s was cool too but I call the dc-9’s mini rocket bc they was just as loud of the 727s
Ahh, flew on the DC-9 mainly -30s, -50-s with North Central Airlines then the MD80 when it NCA became Republic, also I was so fired up when Republic acquired 727s, two of the best aircraft ever built. I loved sitting back next to the engines and having that turbine whine next to my ear.
both have same engines and are similar type aircraft and the 727 is just as powerful with just two of it's three engines and very agile and fly extremely well so I cannot pick an aircraft, the md is a very good aircraft and a very required one so these are maintained and still flying today which is very nice to see
The 717 is an identical copy of the DC-9-30 according to Boeing, that's from a size, weight 105 seat standpoint. Powered by the RR Tay 670 or P&W JT-80-200 later switched to the RRBR700 as the sole power plants. Introduced 10/99 MD planned on giving it a DC-9-95 designation. MD sold the MD-9-95 at the Paris Air Show 1991, The MD-9-95 final assembly was to be made in China. The initial order was 50 for ValuJet but accepted by AirTran, TWA, Impulse (Australia) Hawaiian, Midwest. Production ended 5/06 with 156 delivered I've long been a DC.-9 hater, I loved the 727, the last aircraft that gave you the pinned to the back of your seat sensation on takeoff. I can live with the 737-800,900 while the 757 is a great single aisle aircraft. I think Boeing would have been better off building the MAX on the 757 platform, the higher profile made engine diameter/ground clearance a non-issue.
The 727 was a freighter, and the MD 80 was a passenger plane, so I don't believe there is a vs here. Both were great planes in their day, and it was good seeing the video. Years ago I travel to Puerto Rico in a 727, but came back on an L1011. I loved that return home. Thanks for sharing !
In the 70s and 80s if you're on a short to medium range flight. Chances are you boarded a 727. The MD series was also quite popular and still is with some airlines. .. nothing beats the DC 9 however for engine roar. Just my opinion.
@@jhonhplanespotter..6824 I remember Hughes Airwest the flying banana here in Az. Phoenix to Vegas every half hour for like 30 bucks and free if you booked certain hotels.
Can't compare two dif. engines types, 727-200 has JT8D 100 series engines MD83 has JT8D 200 engines. Bypass air and twin spool compressor spec's on MD83 is dif. so sound can't be the same regardless of the # of engines, me? I prefer the 727.
If money was no object give me a 727-100...completely retrofitted from the commercial variant. Add winglets and retrofit the baggage compartments with additional fuel stores for increased range and maximized fuel burn. Completely glass cockpit with modernized avionic packages. My favorite jet of all time. I would get updated powerplants with higher rated thrust that burn cleaner and slower...again for increased range. Although I love the roar of the classic JT8D variants. Always loved the air stairs in the rear to negate the need for a jetway or a stair truck. The wing is a joy to look at with the triple slotted flaps and leading edge slats. Amazing bird.
Damn those JT8-D's sound great. You could put a JT8-D on a rusty dirty old dump truck and it would sound awesome. Like a Pratt & Whitney jukebox full of kick-ass mechanical music. Thanks for the video, good stuff indeed!
Comparing apple with oranges. Though a larger LP compressor on the 83, the engine core is near essentially the same. The slightly larger fan bypass area of the 217 engine on the 83, makes it quieter. The Amerijet 727 may have updated -11 engines, but still, fairly bid difference. Good video, tough.
alberto Saldaña albrto tu sabe tratando de mejorar la proxima ire con un tripod para evitar algunos movimientos en el video mas que me desenfoco al momento de despegar el MD-83
Why did the MD-80 lift off so quickly, was it because the aircraft was lightly filled with little cargo and few passengers? No, the pilot's simply powered up while holding the brakes, with engines screaming you release the brakes and your aluminum tube flies down that asphalt cattle chute into the sky. Had the 727 jet jockey's used the same maneuver the noise would have been Much louder, the takeoff run much shorter and the sound much sweeter. The Russians use the run-up maneuver too. You use a lot more fuel but the ride is a bit more exciting
Slow Poke My wife and daughter both fly for AA, ,I fly a great deal for business Delta most often, but I haven’t experienced the jam the throttles release the brakes very often, maybe Orange County most often. Taking off out of DFW, SLC! LAX! SFO. DEN, PHX, I can’t say I’ve experienced that type of a takeoff enough to recall. Normally unless there is a long line, Delta pilots at SLC and PHX simply continue the taxi roll onto the runway and without coming to a complete stop they just power up and go. I’d say that the MD-88’s runup was not typical for the airports I’m normally using. Taking off East to west at Sky Harbor using the runup and release takeoff would earn you a few thousand complaint calls from Tempe and East Phoenix. It’s loud and the fuel waste is considerable.
Not really a fair comparison. They're both old airframes but the MD-83 has newer engines. The MD-8X is really a DC-9-8X. I'll vote for the three holer any day, maybe because I flew it for over 7 years. The 72 pilot gets dinged for not having enough crosswind aileron in on takeoff- the jet rolled downwind on liftoff.
que chevere este video... que aeropuerto es? ambos hicieron algo igual.... con frenos ON aceleraron ala potencia requerida de una ves... no aceleraron ...esperar a que se sincronices y luego acelerar. fue de una ...que tan larga es la pista?
