A trip to Florida on an Eastern DC-9 got me into planes back in 1983. Jeez I can't believe how long ago that seems. Sad to see them go
Great coverage, Brian
Some of these jets will live on! http://www.ch-aviation.ch/portal/new...delta-dc-9-50s
I have about 85 hours logged in the DC9,45 hrs in the -15, and 40 in the -30, the -15 was a pilots joy,blessed with the lightest ailerons I have ever experienced on a transport,the 30 felt a mite underpowered, but I was and am a completely biased 727 fan when it comes to mid size jets.
Nice read! I took my last ride in May 2001, thinking they'd retire soon lol!,,,
