    An MD-80 is SIGNIFICANTLY louder than an A380 taking off. This must have been unbelievably loud. I recently watched an MD-80 take off of LAX 24L immediately followed by an A380 (I was standing in the park across from the In-n-Out). The difference was astonishing.

    I took the video. It was probably the biggest rush you could ever experience. I had prayed for them to keep low and my shadow shows my hand moving downward saying stay low. I captured it with a GoPro. There was only me and friend I had just met a minute prior to to this awesome takeoff. His camera failed 2 seconds in so this capture will be the only one available. I'm glad to share it and continuously feel the rush every time its played ! Thanks Insel !! Todd, NS Canada

    Why don't you like MD80's? Good plane. For pilots that enjoy hand flying the plane and not letting AP do all the fun stuff it's these, 757s, 767s, 747s, and 777s (big time on that one) that I hear they enjoy flying a lot. Just bored by MD80's or what? Deep stalls are a risk with those more so than with others, but apart from that, what's your beef with the Mad Dog?
