I've never flown a plane (i just graduated college to be a school teacher) but i really enjoy being a flying passenger. I've developed a favorite plane, it being the 727- but have never flown on one as a passenger. Trying to get the closest "experience", i've taken several "Day Trips" aboard Delta's remaining DC9-51 aircraft and must say i really enjoy row 23 and 24 next to the roaring JT8D's! On one of my recent day trips (i've now taken 4 since last July) the crew noticed me filming and took some time to share their love of airplanes with me! I got to sit in the cockpit and the crew allowed me to walk down with the F/O as he did his walk around. I must say, the pilots and flight attendants couldn't have been nicer, and they made that day (Jan 10, 2012) a day i will never forget. The captain had flown the 727 and moved to the DC9 at Northwest, and admitted the DC9 was a difficult bird to fly (noting that the controls weren't assisted as they were on the 727). I've grown to really appreciate the DC9 for it's structural integrity and excellent reliability, and am currently planning another DC9 trip for the end of this summer. I've been a passenger on N777NC twice, N779NC and N770NC, built in 1979, and 1978. It's amazing to think these planes are still flying almost 40 years with a major carrier, and it's all thanks to the great engineering at Douglas Aircraft Company and the excellent maintenance work at North Central, Republic, Northwest and now at Delta. Long live the DC9 and a great thanks to all that have flown and maintained these planes through the years!<br /><br />Chris from Rhode IslandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850162361953820333.post-3193804681465167702012-07-01T17:13:43.067-04:002012-07-01T17:13:43.067-04:00Great post.

As someone who grew up in Detroit I did a lot of RC/NW DC-9 flying over the years and this brings back some good memories. I'm pretty sure my first DC-9 trip was a short hop from DTW to TVC to visit my grandparents as a precocious eight year old in the Summer of 1979. I think the flight was on a DC-9-30 and took place right after the merger between Southern and North Central. <br /><br />Following that trip I managed to catch every other DC-9 type in the RC/NW fleet over the years including a lot of MD-80 flights between DTW and CLE (RC 740 going to CLE, RC 733 coming back...don't ask me how I remember those flight numbers!). It will be a sad day once the last 9 leaves the fleet after all the years of service.<br /><br />Thanks again for the great aviation memories!East Coast Winghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368714825356830646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850162361953820333.post-64548668477216865552010-08-31T22:14:12.627-04:002010-08-31T22:14:12.627-04:00Rand: I love hearing from the pilots who have flow...Rand: I love hearing from the pilots who have flown these wonderful birds. being a pilot myself i certainly can identify with doing the math. These days many of the NW 9s are heaading to Sanford...in fact there are 8 of them that are in teardown so yes its an era that is coming to an end. Really enjoyed reading your story.

I've only traveled on one Diesel 9 - a late night DTW-STL many years ago - I sat right at the back close to the engines - what a loud experience that was! And, I haven't shot many 9's either - they haven't tended to come to South Florida a lot over the years I've been here.

Sarah (by the way that's my daughters name too...http://thetitoffensive.blogspot.com/) when we would show up for a jump seat on the '9' we would generally stand just inside the cockpit door kibitzing with the cockpit crew. Typically they would be involved in their preparation duties as we exchanged formalities. Part of the preflight is a fire system check and right where we're standing at head height are the fire protection loop lights, all 'six' of them. When the captain checks the fire system on the forward panel these 'six' lights illuminate and since it's a bit of a contortion for the captain to hold the fire test buttons then try to check for the loop lights the jump seater's gentile response would be to say 'six' so the captain wouldn't have to do that neck twisting maneuver.<br /><br /> Tom aka dc9mandc9manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635994535379692617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850162361953820333.post-1443477760019339162010-08-25T10:14:56.533-04:002010-08-25T10:14:56.533-04:00Riding jump in the -9....Rand, you get combat pay ...Riding jump in the -9....Rand, you get combat pay for that?<br />I never had to fly the -9 but carry the same feelings and sadness when thinking about my days on the 727s-Both are 'pilot's' airplane.
