Boeing-Unidentified buyers order 47 Jets

.....and about another 5 - 7 years to go. I got the time, I just might hit that 1000 post mark.

I started on the DC9 in 1996 and will probabley retire off the MD80 in 2022 or 2027. Who needs a Dreamliner with a dreamy career like that?!!!

AMEN brotha', the DC9/MD80 is the last of the "MANLY" airplanes out there!

Super 80 for life

Nope.....you are wrong!

The B727 is the MANLY bird...plently of em still around.

As for the Stretch-9......I'll let you slide.

(p.s. I flew em both)

the 78's a gift to ATA

SWAPA's not going to like that! I can hear the black helicopters now coming for you. Better scram.

I'll see you're 727 and MD80 and raise you a DC8-71F. Not only was it the manly plane of all manly planes ,but a Physics 101 lesson in mass and inertia for someone coming out of commuter turboprops. (....which was my background at the time i was hired to fly them.)

Ditto, my first jet was a DC-8-73F...A big mean machine for this turbo-prop driver.
I thought the simulator (first one in my young life) was going to eat me alive...After that training and those check rides, everything has been easy thereafter...

DC-9? Light Twin....

The 757 is not a bad ride either. Fill it up. Cleared to 410. (And at reduced thrust.)

Come on fella's

Everyone knows the last manly civilian birds are straight pipe Lears.

I am sorry but as a guy that flew -135's for 15 yrs some with water injection on the same side and no powered rudder or hyd. boost for flight controls I have to throw a flag on the MD-80 or DC-8. Water loss on one side was worse than an engine loss and the rudder could push a small guy right up the back of the seat. The KC-135 is 50 yrs old and still has 20 more yrs of life.

What model are you flyin? We usually can't hit 410 anywhere during a westbound atlantic crossing.. (well, maybe just in time to hit 25 north of ALB at 240)...
