FLYING A 29-YEAR-OLD MD-88! The End of an Era at Delta Air Lines

The McDonnell-Douglas MD-80 is an updated and stretched version of the venerable Douglas DC-9. Delta has flown these aircraft for decades all across North America, but will sadly be retiring them in early June. In January this year, I made a particularly well-timed trip to cross off at least one flight on the "Mad Dog" with some friends of mine, and I'm so glad I did. See what I thought of the MD-88 in this trip report! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram:   / alexpraglowskiaviation   Twitter:   / alexpraglowski   Facebook:   / alexpaviation   =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FLIGHT INFORMATION Airline: Delta Air Lines (DAL/DL) Aircraft: McDonnell-Douglas MD-88 (MD88) Flight Number: DL2550 Seat: 33A Livery: Standard Engines: 2x Pratt and Whitney JT8D-219 Registration: N966DL Route: Atlanta (ATL) - Toronto (YYZ) Callsign: DELTA 2550 Runway used: 26L (ATL) - 06L (YYZ) Date filmed: January 2020 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Outro song: "Take Flight" by Nyhtian:    • Nyhtian - Take Flight [Royalty Free Music]   © Alex Praglowski Aviation 2020 This video is the property of Alex Praglowski Aviation and may not be used for any purpose without prior permission.
