Allegiant Retires the MD-80, Goes All Airbus
Allegiant flew their last MD-80 flight last night. They are now an all Airbus carrier. That leaves just American and Delta left as MD-80 operators. (www.avgeekery.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
i fly from KDSM to KLAS on Allegiant. The place we stay at in Vegas is across Tropicana from 19R. There was something reassuring about a pair JT8D's lighting up on departure. That said, the last time out, the Mad Dog we were on was delivered to SAS in 1988 - that is a spectacular career. Hopefully this update will cut down on some of the bad press. That and the a$$burn-of-death seats on the MD will NOT be missed. Wonder how many left seat jockeys will also retire with the birds? Happy retirement to all involved!
From The article:"With the introduction of the Airbus A320 in the early 2000s, we started to see major airlines announce retirement plans for their Michael Douglas aircraft and begin selling their used MD-80s."
Michael Douglas has an aircraft line named after him?
Proof reading is such a list art....

Well, at least better than being named the HF-80. Those couldn't discern a taxiway from an approach.
