This video is pure gold. A lot of childhood memories from 80's. Remember how bombastic was this sound at live at that time. When you compare the plane sounds nowadays it feels boring. I used to do a lot of drawings of this boeings from Varig when I was a kid. Thanks for this time machine video. Great!!
OMG! Das muss einmalig gewesen sein, Matthias! Fantastisch, genau dort ist es bei den alten Böcken am lautesten, genial gewählter Standpunkt! 100x Daumen hoch und viele Grüße aus dem Allgäu, Volker :-)
Vielen Dank Volker! Das war fantastisch diese B737-200. Ich bin sogar 2mal in einem solchen Flugzeug mit British Airways von Genf nach Gatwick geflogen. Dies ist gut 25 Jahre her.
The mighty JT8D, powered a lot of stuff back in the day. Small fan diameter allowed the gear to be short, which made ground handling easier as airports without much in the way of services. Later, it was a pain when more efficient, large-diameter engines came out.
Ahhhh, the fantastic music that is also known as the JT8D.. Incredible footage mate! That is one hell of a sound! Liked a lot :D Huge congratulations on hitting 10M views too mate :D
Hehehe! Too much decibels for the microphone: at 3:09 it simply distorted and cracked. I woke up a lot of people at dawn flying this plane. I was happy and didn't know it...
@@user-ix5qy7um6o CERTAIN microphones can handle high sound levels, not this one. Sure enough that -200 are noisy and disturbing, but there are several other 737-200 videos on youtube that do not cracks like that during takeoff. Even when we are near an event like that our ears do not sense such pops with so much intensity. In 2010 I was responsible for record and analyse the sound level with calibrated and certified equipment on two major airports in Brazil and registered that findings on an official Environmental Impact Report, noise section, working for a contractor. All that recordings wasn't distorted like this one in the video because our equipment was of high quality. Another clarification: at the time when I was flying Boeing 737-200 I was happy. Now that I'm not anymore, I feel really sad... and sorry for the people I woke up at dawn!
Can never watch this Take-Off without having "longing tears" in my eyes ... And ~ to your 10 Million Views, Matthias ... The reason for that is ... no doubt ...that ... YOU * ARE * SIMPLY * THE * BEST !!!! CONGRATULATIONS from your # 1 fan from Canada, Karin ;o)
As always a great catch and a BLAST from the PAST !!! First I wondered why the engines have been shrunked and what a sunny day You´ve had today in Bern ?! :-)))))
@@matthiashaenni I havent seen a 200 in over a decade and its been well over 20yrs flying on one. They sounded awesome from what i can recall. The whine and shrill of those bad boys spooling up was absolutely astounding to hear. They SCREAM compaired to todays turbo fannys. KEEP'EM COMING👍
Strange to think I used to see these 732s at manchester airport all the time.. Looked soo sexy in BA landor colours.. that at 3:08.. I rememeber feeling that in my chest and gut such a powerful sound... I flew on a 200 as well on a Ryan Air flight... That plane had seen better days though.
Last time I was a passenger on the 200 model was in the late 1980's out of KDTW (Detroit). Sadly I was in Colorado Springs, Colorado the day the United 737-200 crashed: March 3, 1991. It was rather an odd day 😟. I lived in the Denver Metropolitan Area and was down in Colorado Springs for a weekend visit. UAL Flight 585 was making a short flight that day from Denver. The only positive aspect of this tragedy was that the aircraft was almost empty; 25 souls in total though were lost.
I don't think why the call the jt8d turbofans when they operate the same way as turbojets so the jt8d is actually turbojets with higher bypass so it doesn't need water injection what makes me curious is why they call jt8ds turbofans what makes them turbofans
It was not possible to film from another position. But look at this video from another B732 which took off from the other runway: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VI4-Mssm2sw.html Cheers Matt
