      Are you flying an MD-80 or 90? Unfortunately, the maddogs don’t come to my airport anymore (Minneapolis) Way back in the day I remember flying an MD-80 from Minneapolis to Orlando Florida, and I remember us thinking “what a nice plane this is” it’s cool to see how far we’re come, but McDonnell Douglas will always have a place in my heart. The last MD90 I flew was in 2017, from Minneapolis to Atlanta. That was at least the best flight I’ve ever been on in my whole life.

    As of now all the "Mad Dogs" aka the DC-9 or MD-80's are gone. I traveled a lot on both. In fact, I was a passenger on the original "Baby Nine", that is the DC-9-14. It was 1/2 the size of the DC-9-80. My first time was on a DC-9-14 of West Coast Airlines, the next time was aboard a Hawaiian Airlines DC-9-14. That was in the 1960's.

    • @sla31
      @sla31  Před 4 lety

      I love TUL. It's my second choice when flying out of the area I live. JLN is first simply because it's only about 20 min from my house. TUL is about a 1 hour drive, but it's a strait shot down I44. It's still small and convenient, but offered a decent number of flights and destinations. Thanks for watching!

      I don’t remember the exact date (The exact date may not have even been announced yet), but Delta did release a rough retirement schedule for their MD-80’s and MD-90’s. It was by the end of 2020 for the MD-88’s and by the end of 2022 for the MD-90’s.
