Welcome to another one of my Full Flight videos! Once again I head back to my hometown of Austin, Texas on the best plane out there, the mighty MD80! I made sure to get to the airport around 7 in the morning so that I could have plenty of time to get some plane spotting in. When I'm walking down the jet bridge and see that beautiful shining airframe, my excitement level jumps up big time. I love the simplicity, design and look of the interior to the lights and buttons above your head to the lavatories. The smell of the cabin as well is just terrific. I chose my seat well in advance right next to those awesome JT8D's. I got a stunning view of the fan blades spinning inside. I took a visit to the cockpit after I found my seat. The captain and F/O were really great guys and let me have a great look around. I showed them all I knew about the plane and learned some as well. The captain said to the F/0 that maybe I should fly us up to Chicago instead haha! I know how American pilots are with using idle reverses so I asked if they could go full reverses and said yes! Boy did they deliver! The service on the flight was alright as always in economy and the flight was brilliant overall. A couple bumps here and there avoiding storms but mostly smooth air. They drinks service is starting to look a lot more like Delta's with the pretzels and coke napkins I saw which to me I really liked the AA napkins and I wish that they would serve a cookie or two instead and not do the same thing Delta is doing. Just my opinion. One of my best flights to date and favorite landing yet! I hope to enjoy more Maddogs in the future! Thanks for watching! Please Like, Subscribe, and Peace.
