22 MINUTES of PURE JT8D Action: B727, MD80, B732 | Willow Run Plane Spotting (KYIP)

Күн бұрын

Welcome to Willow Run, one of aviation's biggest hidden gems. Located just under 10 miles west of Detroit's international airport, Willow Run acts as a sort of living museum. With its traffic consisting primarily of on demand cargo charters, the airport is filled with classic jets that have found a new life in the freight industry. Home to carriers such as USA Jet, Kalitta, and Ameristar, classic aircraft such as the Boeing 727 and MD80 are flying almost daily. Those smoky trails and thundering roar of those classic JT8D engines once thought to be extinct are a common sight (and sound) at Willow Run!
This video focuses on the aircraft equipped with JT8D engines, providing 22 minutes of nonstop smoky and cackling action of these classic jets in action during the summer months at the airport. In addition to the three carriers listed above, there are also several appearances of Maddogs from Aeronaves TSM, a frequent visitor to the airfield. Sit back and enjoy this blast form the past with the iconic sights and sounds of these classic aircraft!

Making such a video means you understand what true aviation enthusiasts love at heart, I hope you get much more recognition from the community.

So true. Nothing sweeter than the JT8D. Well, maybe the JT9D 😁

I visited Detroit a few months ago. I looked at a plane in the distance and thought to myself "wait, that's not a 717." Lo and behold I discover a treasure trove of DC-9s and similar oldies and go spotting for nearly the whole day. Really a hidden gem of an airport.

In a former life when I was stationed at Scott AFB 30 years ago, I was a young crew chief on the military aeromedical version of the DC9; the C-9A Nightingale. She had JT8Ds too. Those airplanes were absolute tanks. Those sounds bring back a lot of memories.😊👍

I’m very proud to have YIP as one of my local airports. Such amazing classic jets here. I’d like to point out ones that have interesting history. The one that has the most unique history is the recently retired Kalitta Air Charters II N726CK shown at the start of the video. Originally meant for Hughes Air West in 1980 before their merger with Republic Airlines, the aircraft instead went to the UAE as Government Transport in early 1981, then Emirates in 1986, Qatar Airways 1995, converted to freighter and delivered to DHL 2001, then to Kalitta in 2010. 5:57 XA-UFO is tied with N726CK for most unique history. Delivered to AirTours International December 1990, then to Reno Air April 1996, American Airlines August 1999, Jetsgo Canada March 2003, Austral Lineas Aereas December 2005 (leased to Aerolineas Argentinas in that time), TrawelFly in 2014, Conversion started September 2020, delivered to Aeronaves TSM in April 2021. That’s some long history for being 33 Years Old. 4:37 XA-VBG is also very interesting. Delivered in April of 1993 to ATI (Alitalia Subsidiary), then quickly went to Alitalia October 1994, Converted to Cargo in early 2014, delivered to FitsAir Thailand May 2014, then Aeronaves TSM May 2018. Thank you for this amazing high quality footage these aircraft look so great for their age!

Most, if not all of these, are probably fitted with hush kits. I remember the enjoyment working on 727's in the 70's and 80's. The sound of a raw JT8D at full power was like thunder and could be heard in the distance for 15 minutes. Absolute music to my ears.

The sad thing if it hadn't been for a bad design in a cargo door and a really questionable maintenance procedure at American Airlines, both relating to the DC 10, McDonnell Douglas would probably still be building airplanes

I don't know how you did it but you managed to capture the sound the main landing gear struts compressing on that Everts MD-80 when it touched down. Amazing! First time I ever heard that. Terrific video! Thank you!

So the thing no one’s talking about here with these Jets are that they are shuttling parts, components, and electronics to, and mostly from, various states in Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Minnesota, and other certain places on behalf of the Big Detroit 3 (Automakers). Yes they have other items they ship, but this is their main mission!

Wonder where all the ex Fed-Ex Boeing 727s with the upgraded, higher bypass JT3D-200s are at now. Seems they would be more efficient to fly than the original 727s with low bypass JT8Ds.
