Hope Delta parks a few of these 30,40, and 50 year old DC-9's to give crew members a ride home when all their Airbus fleet begin to retire in a few years. These Douglas built aircraft will last forever.

I miss the DC-9 the last time I flew on one was when TWA was around, I live in STL and this brings back memories. The for the great share!

HI Jake I'm a former flight attendant/flight service manager for TWA and was based at STL. It was the best ever!!! I flew on our DC 9's periodically but was mostly coast to coast on the L 1011 and 707....those were the days! :)

***** I'm close to Willow Run where a private company by the name of USA Jet runs some DC-9-33f. I don't think they will ever disappear completely from American aviation. I'm glad as the 9 was simply the most memorable plane for me as a kid. The sound those JT8Ds produced is synonymous with the airport.
@ryuhayabusa436510 жыл бұрын
***** I wish I had flown on them more often. I think I flew on MD-80s more than anything when TWA was still running and also with Delta. I may have flown on the Legendary 9 maybe twice with NW. It's a shame that fuel cost is the reason they're getting rid of them.

Here in Venezuela domestic airlines still use the venerable DC-9, it's a shame that they aren't very well maintained as economic limitations push the airlines to the limit (of irresponsability!), Aserca, Aeropostal, Laser and many others still use this aircraft, wonderful machines.

Delta and Northwest were also the last major airlines to operate the Boeing 727. They were retired in 2003. At one point, Delta had the largest fleet of 727-200 advanced models with 130 planes. The DC9 legacy lives on with Delta as they operate MD88, MD90 and former Airtran 717 aircraft.

Hi Stefan.. I'm a former TWA f/a and always sometimes worked the DC 9 10 and 20 out of STL to MCI then to PHX if the need was there. My ? is, what did Delta do with this DC 9 after retiring it. A friend of mine at DL told me that they retired this plane to the museum in North Carolina?

Modern engines are so boring, gotta say. At least jet engines. Turboprops still have that cool sound. But now they're making jet engines quieter because people can be snowflakes and think engines are too loud... I'm all about efficiency, but making them more quiet is like forcing car guys to retire the V8 engine.
