I love engine noise, too, but go for the view with wing flaps visible while seeing good view of what's below and outside. Aircraft like the MD-88 were amazing since you get the engine noise on full blast because the engines are mounted behind where everyone sits. You don't get that on aircraft with engines mounted on wings (while you're sitting behind the engines towards the aft), but that's the tradeoff. Aviation geeks and lovers, unite!
I love it! Nothing like looking out of the window of a jetliner and seeing the raindrops outside! Sleeping weather as long as it is isn't too turbulent! Wrapped in a nice warm blanket and hope they have the heaters on!
I would agree, but you would have to be a madman to say that after hearing a GE90 on 107% thrust Edit: Here’s an example I found 2:20 in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C5dIrEYmqPI.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yQJcNzcnqi8.html
My 1st flight was a DC-9 on a rainy day, as it spooled up for take off I got too see the rain from outside the cowling reverse direction and head into the engine, I was amazed..
God I miss those -9’s, man.. the DC-9 was and still is my all time favorite airplane along with the 727’s & MD-80’s. Anything that has JT8D’s strapped to the tail is my favorite. Any type of airplane that had the JT8D’s gave you a fun flight every time!
@@jonahair747 The DC-9 and subsequent MD-8X series were among the safest airplanes ever built, no computers to interpret you control inputs and because it was controlled with cables it could fly without any hydraulic boost.
Insta-luv for this channel…he (she?) takes the time to ‘like’ comments…even writes back = Pure Class, imo, and really great to see! I just shared this on my FB…& subscribed…and can’t wait to check out your other vid’s in the days ahead. Thank You for this one (a GEM!)…& me too loves the golden oldies etc.!😛😎😁
I really appreciate you saying that, thank you! I’m really happy you found this channel. I film nothing but the classics, the “newest” airplanes you’ll find on here are 717’s and 757/767’s. So be expecting frequent videos of more classics to come! Anyways, welcome to the channel and enjoy the future videos!
I remember when I was younger, smelling the jet fuel pouring out of those DC-9’s & 727’s! I miss those days so much. Aviation is nothing like it used to be and it is depressing
R Diaz I agree these engines aren’t that loud. A lot of people don’t realize these airports were built away from populated areas but as the suburbs were expanding then the people started to complain about engine “noise”. If they think that’s loud then live near a bomber base. Remember the airports were there first not the other way around.
@@keithdomin5015 Exactly. The people living in the suburbs near the airports knew what they were getting themselves into when they made the airport their new neighbor. If they can't stand the noise, those people should live elsewhere.
Yep that’s the beauty of the Pratt and Whitney JT-8. I flew a lot on 727s which had 3 of these bad boys. The 737-200 was really loud if you sat behind the wing (my favorite seat). The exhaust was a loud thundering roar. Thrust reversers were even louder! Gosh I miss those.
