In this full flight, I'm back on my favorite plane!!! I was fortunate to find this MD80 flight on my way to Key West as well as some other exciting planes to fly on! This is actually the second time I've flown on N434AA to my memory so it was great to see him still flying! This flight was amazing in every aspect. I sat in the cockpit and turned the seatbelt sign on before departure and I had a nice chat with the flight crew. The flight attendant even remembered my name and she asked if i could take a picture with her! You can hear her ask at 56:33! The crew on this flight was great. They were extremely kind to me and everyone else. This seat was also very comfortable with plenty of legroom and the tray table didn't rest on my legs like a lot of other aircraft seats do. You also get an amazing view on the JT8D and get an amazing spot to listen to them! The cabin itself looks very nice and not too outdated. It's got a very unique and appealing look and is my favorite cabin look and layout in my opinion! Plenty of color and some cool designs on the side panels.It's simple and looks great! The size of the windows on this plane as well are massive! They're at the right hight and give you a nice open view! My love for the American Super 80 is unparallel, nothing excites or gives me as much joy in the world as being on this aircraft. Ive finally gotten a job so you can expect to see more flights on these guys in the future!
Thanks for Watching!
