Here we go! #Super80Sendoff is underway. I'm at ⁦@DFWAirport⁩ to join ⁦@AmericanAir⁩ as it celebrates the end of MD80/Super80 "Mad Dog" service.
Will be headed out to Roswell, New Mexico to watch the final flights land.

The first few @AmericanAir #Super80SendOff flights to Roswell are now in the air

Here she is, the final @AmericanAir MD80/Super 80 Mad Dog revenue departure. @DFWAirport to @fly2ohare flight AA80. #Super80SendOff

Several other mad dogs at DFW gates awaiting their flights out to Roswell.

Greetings from the @flightradar24 #AvTalk crew. @petchmo #Super80SendOff

Operating the final @AmericanAir revenue flight for #Super80SendOff is N984TW, the last ever produced MD80. Delivered December 1999 to TWA.

N984TW, preparing to push back. #Super80SendOff

The #AvGeek's are all out at @DFWAirport for #Super80SendOff. Here's N982TW pushing back for its flight out to Roswell.

#Super80SendOff

Our ride to Roswell, New Mexico for #Super80SendOff.

Now on board AA 9454 to Roswell. My last ever @AmericanAir MD80 Super 80 flight! Seat 28F for the real (loud) experience. #Super80SendOff #AvGeek

We have been informed that our flight crew will hand fly this Mad Dog to Roswell today, declining to use auto pilot. #Super80SendOff #AvGeek

The unmistakable signs of the age of this aircraft's design are everywhere. #Super80SendOff

Pushback! #Super80SendOff

A little #Super80SendOff Mad Dog traffic jam on the ramp

We're taxing directly behind another @AmericanAir Super 80, also on its way to Roswell. This is the last time you'll ever see this happen. #Super80SendOff

And we're in the air! The pilots did an awesome wing wave on departure from @DFWAirport. Video to come later. #Super80SendOff

Yesssss. #Super80SendOff

The wing wave on departure from @DFWAirport. Our @AmericanAir pilots are really channeling their inner #AvGeek! #Super80SendOff

#Super80Sendoff convoy

Welcome to Roswell! This @AmericanAir Super 80 will be joining its brothers and sisters here at the bone yard. #Super80SendOff 🛸

A whollleee lot of @AmericanAir Super 80s here in Roswell. We're taking a long taxi in to see the goods. #Super80SendOff

Well, isn't this a coincidence. As we taxi in to end our #Super80SendOff flight we pass a whole bunch of still grounded #737MAX here at Roswell. #AvGeek

And THAT is how you exit a Super 80 for the final time! #Super80SendOff #AvGeek

Not only did this MD80 have functional DC power outlets, it even still had @Gogo ATG and streaming entertainment working. Solid #PaxEx until the very end. #Super80SendOff

.@AmericanAir CEO Doug Parker remarks how the Super 80 replaced older, less efficient aircraft in the fleet. Now the same is happening to it, and it's time for it to retire. #Super80SendOff

#Super80Sendoff

Welcome aboard the flight deck of Super 80 N970TW. They don't make 'em like this anymore! #Super80SendOff

Boop the snoot #Super80SendOff

Welcome to your new home, N9620D. #Super80SendOff

Hi #Super80SendOff

I have this entire Super 80 to myself. I'm going to sit in all the seats. #Super80SendOff

#Super80SendOff

The final @AmericanAir Mad Dog Super 80 of today's #Super80SendOff has arrived at Roswell, very likely to be its final resting place.

And that's a wrap
