Wild Dangerous ? MAD DOG Landing Spotting TPA

37:30 the sound of a Mad Dog makes me a happy puppy.

To answer the DC-10/MD-11 center wheel support question, the center wheel support was added to the -30 and -40 models to support higher weights.

The cricket serenade again. . . 😉😉 You almost made me spew my tea out my nose with the American A319 to MIA for 7 hrs and 35 mins -- 🤣🤣🤣 You had me in stitches on this one!! Thanks for filming and sharing!! 💕✈️✈️💕

That Mad Dog flaring at the landing, reminded me of the space shuttle coming down!

When I first open the blinds ,all I see is glorious blue aky,until about 9 AM,then the clouds start rolling in. It's supposed to go down in the mid 60's here in Pensacola this week. I can never wait to feel that first cool breeze of Autum! Great commentary as always,Captain,I've learned so much from you and the other viewers!

A very big thank you for the shout out Steven I do appreciate that very much.🙂

Love the SWA turn and burn! Good mix of planes at TPA today. That Mad Dog landing was crazy!! Yikes! Thanks for the great video Capt. Steven!

I loved the mad dog landing. Anyone can land like a United pilot. It takes a real pilot to almost tear the tail cone off and still pull off a smooth landing. 🙂

Great video. Suggestion for you. When you catch something spectacular, like that Mad Dog landing, how about an "instant replay" like you get on all the sports telecasts?

The center wheel was on the DC-10-30 and 40. It helped with CG on heavy take offs. The DC10/ DC11 was Fed Ex modifying all their DC10s, eliminating the flight engineer and upgrading their avionics to DC11 status so they changed their designation from DC10 (with flight engineer) and DC11 (without flight engineer)

Good Morning Captain, Steven Looks Pretty Sunshine Here🌞 Is Pretty Clear Skies

Excellent video my friend

Great work Capt. Steve. It brings back many great memories. I was a Capt for Midwest Airlines flying the 717 before I got hurt and could not fly anymore. I also flew the MD-88 and DC-9-32 and DC-9-15 with Midwest. The seats are wider on Deltas A220 in comfort and basic coach at 18.6 compared to 18 on the A319. You get as extra 1/2 inch in first class on the A319. Keep up the great work!

Another great vid Captain. Wild near-tail strike with that Mad Dog! I do believe SWA has limited service at ORD. They seem to have limited service at some big places like ORD and BOS. They have absolutely 0 service to JFK to the best of my knowledge

It’s not just about the video action, it’s about the great commentary.

My personal observation is that SWA is the leader in "turn & burn" take off rolls!

Midway has 5 actives. The shortest being 3859 ft and the longest at 6445 ft Your enthusiasm is fantastic. It starts the day on such a positive. Cheers to another great episode.

13:08 I may be dating myself, but I remember when the hangar in the background was being built... for USAir.

Another fantastic video Steve. A normal MD90 flare is three to five degrees not thirty. The bounce was indicative of a stall.

First. Happy Labor Day folks! Kiss my sink, here we go with another great video!

Now we need Rosie to make an appearance

DC-10-10 Did not have the center gear. However, the -30 and -40 and MD-11 all had the center gear as standard. But, there is a switch to have the center gear retracted for landing if it is not needed. And Southwest sure does go to ORD. They use the international M gates at ORD. That MD-80 flare was crazy. Another top notch video!

Woweee! I had to watch that mad dog landing three times, as it sure was in tail strike territory! Thanks Captain!

I used to like watching the mad dog go reverse thrust to back out of its gate. But they stopped that sometimes in the 90's. CLT has a observation park off of the center runway. The coolest time there to me is when night falls and the runway lights are turning on.

That's awesome allusion with those props

Great video Captain. Thanx again.

You should go and visit SDF the home of UPS all the heavy jets you can handle. A constant stream of 757 , 767 , MD-11 A300 & 747's you would be in heavy jets heaven

I LOVES me a Mad Dog to this day.

Another heavy that incorporates a center landing gear is the A340-500/600 varieties. Similar to Norman's post it helps with CG for heavy take offs...also because the plane's 4 engines are thirsty it helps with the necessity to carry more fuel. I always found the a 340-600 a cool plane to see if not the best designed plane. I like the A350-1000 much better...definitely a cleaned up version of it's predecessor.

Nice video

Captain! Happy Labor Day!! Two answers: 1) the center wheels on the MD-11 appear to have been added when they were converted to freighters and were not there when they were passenger flights, and 2) Southwest does fly to ORD. They started in ‘21 and are using gates in the international terminal.

LOVE IT CAPT..... BTW, FJB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

40:00 - Yes, they do!

Epic video! Heads up you should stay till 3 PM, because the NYPD Livery from JetBlue is arriving from JFK. I was going to go but I’m to busy right now. Anyways Happy Labor Day (made a typo)!

Southwest does service O'Hare as well

The center wheel carriage, which was separately retractable, was used primarily when landing and above a certain gross weight for take off, was original to the design of the DC-10 and the MD-11. The Lockheed L1011 did not have a center carriage wheel as the outer wheel carriages were off set differently and the plane was designed for passenger transport only. Off the top of my head, it is all that I know about it, there may be more out there.

The first filter setting was worse than no filter. At least on my screen. Sorry, didn't see much difference between filter on and filter off. But I don't even own a camera so don't listen to me! lol

Holly Molely that's close ohhh MD 11 added that middle gear

Thanks!

Great job awesome planes

That Maddog was living the expression °Coming in Hot" yikes

CLT stills has the nice observation area just off of 18C

Great video captain❤

Wonderful 👌

Sad day coming this week for the Queen of the Skys, Captain. Last ever 747 supposed to roll out.. Test fights then off to paint in Atlas Air and DHL tail. Atlas Air fun fact. All Air force one presidential pilots trained by Atas.

Southwest actually DOES go to O’hare, but only going to or coming from southwest hubs like BWI or BNA and etc

Southwest does fly out if Ohare but not even close to the flights out of Midway.

No peanuts on that flight lol

Thanks for all the rain 🌧 for Ohio, brought cooler weather only 69 degrees

yes

The DC-10-10/-15 did not have the center gear.All other models including the KC-10 did along with a slightly longer wing.All MD-11s had the center gear.All models of the DC-10 with the center gear would sometimes leave them retracted if the aircraft was below a certain weight.Not sure about this on the MD-11.

Happy Labor day! Hope you're having a great day! :)

Hey Cap that MD80 was a 100+ 💯 perfect landing 🛬🛬 Southwest owns the Postage Stamp there in Chitown and they service O'Hare as well🛬🛬

check pics of DC10 the center grear was always there and the MD landig was what my late father would call a carrier landing over treshold cut power he was trained as privet pilot by ex navy pilot

Looks like United swapped their Airbus Ferrari's, to Boeing Toyota Camry's. So use don't use any video editing programs? I'm sure they would help with color mixing. Delta A220 is a joy in coach with wider seats, sorry you suffered an inch or 2 less in 1st

Later 10's did add the tricycle gear

Southwest does go to o hare airport.

By the time this gets posted for another video I am going to say "Happy Labor Day" for every one on this channel.

Captain white Sox thanks for another great spotting video. When in SFO remember that it’s the gateway to the Pacific and will be mainly UAL hub.

I feel like the colors are not as vibrant as your last camera. Like the background (trees) are dark and the whites are bright not sure if that helps. Slightly Better with the filter off. Otherwise classic spotting 👍🏻. I have pictures of A continental DC 10 with the center wheel.

What aircraft does silver airways fly ?

How much longer is 19l/r going to be closed?

makes me laugh we can have American airways fly here on Sunday morning and then this morning Monday 5/9 we get delta yet Tampa has to wait till October to have virgin

What are bdi’s?

hi

37:30 in case you missed it! 🛬👌

Thanks!
