Boeing 717-200 (N608AT)

Love the background of the mountains!
Nice!

Very nice photo. This Boeing 717 is (was) also a nice aircraft. My wife and I flew on one from Hawaiian Airlines between Maui island and Honolulu.

Nice pic.
The 717 is the same size and specs as the DC-9-30 which I know and love. With different engines.
Could still be a viable airliner, people like the 3/2 seating. Boeing doesn't want to build it.

It will always be a DC-9 in my head. The DC-9 was the defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory aircraft that created McDonnell-Douglas! Douglas sold 116 of them before they figured out they were priced at a loss! McDonnell, cash-flush from selling 5000 F4 Phantom-IIs bailed them out.

very nice photo¡¡¡

here is another profile of a remarkable, dependable, fuel efficient McDonnell Douglas aircraft turned into a Boeing model that was killed off far too soon. Like the 757, reopening the production lines would have yielded hundreds of sales along with the 757- airlines like these airplanes in retrospect, and boeing is not quite the visionary company they believe themselves to be.
