First MD-80 Freighter Set To Fly in U.S.
Miami, Florida-based Aeronautical Engineers (AEI) received the world’s first supplemental type certificate (STC) from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration for the MD-80SF passenger-to-freighter conversion, the company announced last week. (www.ainonline.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
At 750K lots of people could write a check for that and never need another damm boarding pass! Few chairs and a sofa, couple of lamps and a card table and the days over. American had great galleys and lots of carts and ovens. Stock up on choice of hot grilled cheese or pimento cheese snacks. No more TSA or sassy seat mates. Long delays or flow control! American has plenty of those MD-80s, take your pick and never buy another ticket! Carry On as much as you want!
Alaska flies "combi's" in the upper one all the time (737)! I use to fly for a company up there in the summer,and see them even convert the 73's either way in about 15-20 minutes. I don't know how everybody got off track talking about movies,Alaska's crash and all? I flew the 3 holer and it was a true "truck",you could even go 10% over MTOW,and it would fly the same!You can pick one up for 1Mil.but have fun with the up-keep!!
Still curious as to why a used 737 worth 4 times what a used MD80 series is.
Hey,..... Look at this, we are all cargo... doesn't make a diference if we walk and talk...
Wonder who else in the U.S. might pick up some of these given the market they're predicting for them?
Alaska, where old planes go to spend their golden years and die.
Now, why is a retired 737-400 worth so much more then a retired mad dog?
