Continuing the discussion from Douglas DC-9:
As what Misha said in the old topic:“Create a new topic” when he closed the old one…
DC 9 is a really good Airplane and it have a lot of good liveries to add
Not my photo
So would you like to have one in IF?

DC9 = B717 or am I missing something…
Better and older liviries
MacSez: Dave your missing something. The DC-9 was a McDonald Dougkes product. The 717 was built by Boeing. The companies merged in 67 well after the 9 was on line with a DC vice B.
(DC= Douglas Corporation… DC was retained after merger with McDonald)
Internally there are a few additions as well, specifically on a glass cockpit vs ’ steam’’ whilst externally there are very few differences. Mainly tail cones and engines I think?
Was the MD-11 before or after the DC9 became the B717?
The MD-95 is the B717.
No livery requests here please :)
The DC-9 is OLD. It’s been out of production since the 80s. While it does offer some nice liveries, we need more up-to-date aircraft in IF. The old ones just aren’t catching on.
@13yearoldpilot… When I was 13 the DC-9 was revolutionary. Old is good! Ask your father what history teaches us. Max

:-) good catch!! Pardon my slip!
Why! I think old planes are better. Not by performance though.
Most of the available aircraft on IF were created on the XXth Century, with the exception of the A380 and the F-22.
The DC-9 was created in the XXth Century too.
Exactly! They would be a lot of fun to fly.
Boeing 717 was actually meant to be the McDonnell Douglas MD-95. It was undergoing flight testing when the company’s merged. Boeing changed the name to Boeing 717
** DC-9 IS GREAT GOOD IDEA ** lets hope laura makes it soon
Effectively same plane as MD80, MD88, MD90 variants.
