@@davidsmiths5471 this aircraft was originally developed by McDonnell Douglas with the name of MD-95 as a MD-80/90 replacement. When Boeing merged instead of scrapping the program they changed the name to the Boeing 717.
@@davidsmiths5471 Its basically a DC-9...original design by same former Douglas engineers, built in the same factory by the same former McDonnell Douglas workers. After Boeing bought out McDonnell Douglas they didnt change it...just put the Boeing name on it.
Those engines sound are music to my ears and can make me asleep 😂. Hopefully Delta extends their Boeing 717 until the 2030’s as they did with their Boeing 767-400
Great flight Luna, I think you landed on 19r. That’s the same runway I landed on but coming from the other direction on a Southwest flight I think it’s runway 1R or 1L not sure? Anyway thanks🛬🛫👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
My absolute favorite airplane!
Love this plane as well! Definitely fly on them while you still can!
They’ll be around for quite a while according to some of the Delta flight attendants and pilots I spoke to on my fight from Italy to New York.
Sounds like the old McDonnell Douglas DC9 flew on one of those back in 2000 on Northwest Airlines .
This plane is the last ever DC-9 variant. Gotta enjoy it while it’s still around.
Definitely! I’m glad delta pushing back the retirement of these birds so we have more opportunities to fly on them!
It's a 717 not a DC-9 variant?

@@Lunadog99 80s and 90s are stretch versions of DC-9s! 717s are smaller and have different type of engines! Hence then different name!

From what I’ve heard it sounds like Delta intends to keep their 717s till 2030. Thanks for watching!

Yup landed on 19R, which would be 1L when landing from the south. Thanks for watching!
