DC-9-80 also called Super 80 emergency exits and slides ✈️

Not entirely comfortable with the idea of a plane with a tail that falls off... 😬

Agreed 😂😂

So in an emergency, you need someone with a wagon to catch and move the tail out of the way?!? 😂😂😂

MD80 series....my First type rating...Time is ranking so fast😅

Does the guy and rig that pulls the cone out of the way of the slide jump out of the plane first? 😉

Not seen that before.

That would be Kool as hell at 30,000 ft .

I'm surprised the FAA would let them pull the tail cone away on a cart before the slide deployed in this test. Unless this was just to make an instructional video with no FAA around which is probably the case.

it's a well known fact that when you crash and need emergency slides, there will always be a guy with a vehicle who will clear the tail cone out of the way 😂 I also wonder about the aft pressure bulkhead, is that only a thing on DC-9 ?

The good old days of the “Girt” bar 🤣😎
