As a kid and as a teenager, my mother made sure I was properly dressed. No shorts, no flip flops, no loose tops as you see now. It’s more like riding on a greyhound bus these days.

Rare recording of the P&W JT8D's original and unique harmonics. The engines have a sound effect of smoothly inhaling the air, rather than the updated JT8D's sound of grinding the air. There's that and other subtle differences as the engines spool up and down. For me, this video captures the way a jet engine is supposed to sound. By the mid-80's this sound was mostly gone, but it's preserved here. Good show.

Year 1983,year that I was born,this was really golden times of vintage airplanes as B727,DC9,DC10, earliest B737,B747,A300....... and for this time the most modern and advanced B757 and B767,the old colours of Eastern,Delta,USAir, Continental,United, American,TWA,PANAM...... were so beautiful.Sadly many of them does not exist today,TWA(bought by American in 2001),PANAM(Bankrupted and bought by Delta in 1991),Northwest(merged with Delta in 2008/2009) Continental(merged with United in 2010),US Airways (merged with American in 2013)and new Eastern is not the same.
@freddyferrillo97044 жыл бұрын
A300 are no comparison to the others. Because that plane is a European colaboration. The others are pure American! But your information is correct. And the European planes have since flooded the market. Probably and presently surpassing the American models these days. Very sad indeed. For me anyways. Seems like almost everything in the USA is imported nowadays. Even the auto industry was down-sized. America makes hardly nothing of its own anymore. Why? Because politically we let the world thrive on our wealth. All the manufacturing industry goes to everywhere but America. But thankfully, Trump is trying really, really hard to fix that unfair crap. Don't mean to get political; but that's why he will be President for 5 more years. Because he understands more than any other President in history that we are being ripped! Period.

john maselli I totally agree with you. Flying was actually part of the “adventure” for my best friend and I. People had a sense of formality and being civil to one another. I am so glad I had the opportunity to experience the TRUE “Friendly Skies”. The last flight I took was I was sitting next to a couple of black men who tried to give the impression of wealth by wearing cheap looking gold chains, rings and watches.During the entire flight, every other word was “fucking” this or that followed by “hey nigga”. I was taught to treat everyone with respect, but when black people call each other “nigga” it clearly is a reflection of their ignorance and lack of any type of social skills. No, I am not a racist, but after a 3 hour flight sitting next to these guys did sway my views somewhat. I am afraid to say that even when flying, this is more of the rule rather than the exception.

We flew Eastern when going to Philadelphia (where my grandparents lived), it was a direct flight from K.C. One time though, we flew to Philly Delta via Atlanta. When we went to England (where my other grandparents lived), we flew TWA, to London via Chicago, and then later via St. Louis (when TWA made their hub there).

Now unless you're flying to Asia or deep into Europe, you can't even get on a 767, 777, or any other heavies, for crying out loud they're starting to use the 737 for transcontinental red-eyes and to go to HAWAII!!!!

The 727 took forever to get airborne and once off the ground they were extremely slow to get up to altitude. Before Eastern went under, I would park on the top deck of Sky Harbor's terminal parking and if I had time before my flight or a pickup, I stood on the edge of the terrace watching aircraft take off. The 757's, the most beautiful bird in the sky by its graceful, elongated shape would grab sky as if it was pulled upward by a puppet string. The Delta and Eastern jets were the opposite, they would mosey upward and given your experience watching the 737-300/400 as well as the 757, you had the thought crossing your mind, that that sucker is going to plow into downtown Tempe, it just isn't gaining altitude. I know all about loads, my buddy and fellow accountancy student at Arizona State, now working for America West would sometimes look at a takeoff and say: "We're losing money on that flight, or that baby is paying the bills" based on the angle of the climbout. I do the same thing now, too steep, the carrier is losing their shirts, a little shallower and We're In The Money, baby.

I've always been a bit skeptical when people talk about the "good old days" and this confirms it. The planes seating configuration looks just as packed as they are today. The lines are still long and the flight attendants don't seem any more bubbly than they are today. Maybe I'm missing something? Possibly a meal during the flight? Still looks like a cattle drive to me.

Sandro Bassi Lol, that's true. As a smoker myself, long haul flights are torture.

First time in Orlando was 1973,landed at Elgin Airforce Base,now Orlando International,only hotel in Orlando was Hyatt Regency,surrounded by miles and miles of orange and grapefruit groves, no homes,Disney in the background..Now look at it,Orlando is a jungle..Times were better back then,Florida was beautiful..

Thanks for the old video..Now,that was "Old Florida",that I remember. The Orlando that once was, when they had Cypress Gardens,you could find orange groves and buy bags of fruit for cheap money. Disney was cheap to get into back then. Florida has changed so much in the last 60 yrs. She went from Beauty to a Concrete,greedy jungle. It's a shame.

+bocaitalian Fuck Disney. Disneyworld in Orlando is a total fucking ripoff. It's like $100 per par, per day. Fuck that.

I thought that Disney raised the admission price to almost $129.00pp, maybe less according to JMMT7022801? I'd love to go back,but that's too much for me to be with a million screaming kids. People complain about Disney Prices, but I see a lot of people in the summer,paying $100-300 for a good seat at a Red Sox Game. Sporting Events people will pay just about any price, yet bitch about prices at the pump,grocery store,and just about everything under the sun. But I agree with you JMMT Disney does SUCK.

+bocaitalian When I first went to Disneyland in California with family back in the late eighties, ticket prices were only like $38. It's a total ripoff now. Universal Studios isn't much cheaper either.
