What a nice tone those JT8D engines have.

What a beautiful sound of the engines. 😊

Amazing video with some amazing sound! Super cool how you guys immediately started your takeoff roll when the previous MD-88 was still just climbing off the runway, must be because ATL is the busiest airport on the planet.

Awesome. I flew on N927DA from Memphis to Boston in 2010 back when MEM had mainline service to BOS. I didn't realize until I looked the registration up it was the plane involved in the Pensacola incident.

MAN that was a *fast* climb! *FLY DELTA JETS*

9:24 skip to takeoff

Oh man I really miss these MD-80's :/

AMAZING at how quickly this airplane picks up speed and takes off at a steep angle of attack! AWESOME! I thoroughly enjoyed this clip, as I LOVE flying! I flew into this airport already!

That’s the same runway I took off on yesterday! Flew two MD-88s (I got video of them too!). Love the steep climbs. Nothing beats the Mad Dog today that’s for sure!

9:38 mr Bean’s hair clipper *intensifies* XD long live the McDonald Douglas MD’s!!!

Impressive departure!

Now that was some stunning, and shiny, taxi and takeoff footage. Exceptional quality definitely subscribing

Those engines sound amazing at spool up! Thanks for the vid!

Thanks for the video-- sure do miss this aircraft.

Cant wait to fly Delta MD888 CLE-ATL! Awesome video! love the wing of the Mad Dog!

5 stars, love the sound!

Very cool. Great engine sound.

Awesome!! Looks like pilot started his takeoff roll before other plane even rotated!! Great video...quick takeoff too!!

Wow! Amazing sound byte.

I like that buzzing sound they make! I liked sitting by the engines.

Didn't waste anytime getting up. Nice video!

that engine sound like a truck lol I love the M.D.88 .that runaway you took of from looks like a hill.very nice video.

Nice video. Nice Engine Sound.

I love a throttle-happy pilot!

Love the video!

Thank you!!

amazing sound

I hope you had a safe flight!

Today is the 25th anniversary of Flight 1288

I'm flying this same exact plane out of this same exact airport next week... Cool!

Glorious sounds

I never knew Silver flew to KATL lol. Nice vid!

thank you

Thanks!

Rest in peace MD-88 (Mad Dog)✈️

Beautiful NADP procedure

I hear two people died on this one in 1996! Rest in peace Delta Air Lines Flight 1288 was a regularly scheduled flight from Pensacola, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia. On July 6, 1996, the aircraft serving the flight, registered as N927DA, a McDonnell Douglas MD-88 equipped with Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 turbofan engines, was on takeoff roll from Runway 17 at Pensacola when it experienced an uncontained, catastrophic turbine engine failure that caused debris from the front compressor hub of the number one left engine to penetrate the left aft fuselage. The impact left two passengers dead and two severely injured; the two dead were a mother and son. The pilot aborted takeoff and the airplane stopped on the runway. Three other passengers sustained minor injuries during the emergency evacuation. Most of the passengers were traveling on vacation.

Love the mad dog!

thanks jack!

wicked vid was it hard to know 2 ppl died on that AC

Yep, great sound indeed!

I always enjoy flying thru ATL

We rocketed out of ATL! it was awesome, thanks for the comment!

i live in pensacola where this happend ive flown this same plane before and my dad has also worked on it before

taxiing feels like going slowly up the hill on a roller coaster. if youre not totally used to it...its the exact same sensation. especially when you watch another plane in front of you shoot away

Yes we sure blasted out of ATL! Thanks for the comment!

Sounds like my lawn-mower :P

Nice vid

I always make sure i get one

Thanks! I use a Sony HDR CX220 HD Handycam

Didn't know JT8D's were still in use!

Sweet!!!

full throttle!

Sad that they’re all gone now :(

Awsome1

No ATL is the largest airport, i cant argue the noise procedure because that was one hell of a step takeoff

I see this everyday

No time to delay!

HOLY CLIMB

I just flew in to Hartsfield on an MD-90 and out on an MD-88. I'll say that the climb in the 90 was steeper out of West Palm but both climb like mad. MD88 pilots only ran 1 engine up, I forgot those JT8's are thirsty.. I didn't know about the engine failure in this plane, that is terrible. Delta is sure getting a lot of use out of all those MD-88's and 90s. The ones we flew last week were all updated with new leather seats that were very comfortable. Hell of a lot nicer than those awful flat seats in the A320 from Jet Blue.

This plane sounds a lot better than the MD-82 and MD-83.

good song for this, if you start it just before he makes the final turn onto the runway, "feel the beat" by darude! at least if your an aviation fanatic like i am.

I'm flying from IAH to Atlanta on one of these Monday. I hope I have the same experience!

The fact this video was uploaded on the 17th anniversary of the engine failure.

by passenger traffic ATL is the biggest airport, i wasn't talking about land area. Thank you, and no the fatalities were sitting in row 37, i was in 31

Unfortunately, this exact plane N927DA was retired just last month to San Bernardino.

How was the g-forces on takeoff? The md80s have a pretty powerful climb!

Power full plane

I mean MD-80s are designed to not use a lot of the runway and sort of rocket out, it might not be either lol

That is one loud cabin and they are just at a slow taxi. I hope the PAX are offered hearing protection?

@hockeyman1119 ATL isnt the largest airport it is in aircraft movements. top 3 biggest (land size are 1.Riyahd 2.denver 3. DFW. nice vid did people in the accident die on your seat row?

I'm guessing that was a fully loaded plane, given the amount of thrust the pilot needed just to get the plane moving from a standstill.

Incredible video! I mean no offense at all but I would have enjoyed more flight time instead of over 9 min taxi time. I did enjoy it tho!

I am going on an MD-88 in 2 weeks

Why would there be a Noise abatement procedure at the worlds largest airport

Yes ATL is the biggest airport. I'm not sure if biggest in the world but Ik it's the biggest in the U.S.

No specific noise abatement procedure off RNY 26L, or any other runway for that matter. Looks like the standard RNAV departure and a very light load of pax and gas. Gonna miss the -80s when they go...they r some damn sexy lookin' birds! The folks over at Airbus should take some notes on how to design a "good looking" plane, ya know?!

Was this an empty aircraft?!

A woman and her son were killed when the number 1 engine exploded on 927DA

What seat row was this one?

Nice sound, but it doesn't beat the original DC 9. Pratt & Whitney made several versions of its JT8D engines, with slight variations among them.

More than half of the video is the taxi? Should name it... Taxi (long) , Take Off (later).

What seat it is?

10:7

What row are you in? I will be flying on a MD-88 here soon.

2:00 must have had to burn a little fuel

Ssteeeep climb

the MD 88 planes haul ass
