WHY: This is a very unique aircraft that would add more diversity in IF. Also, this “Mad Dog” is used on many short haul/domestic flights. I grew up flying on many of these via Delta Airlines, so it has a special place in my heart.

And since it has a substantial amount of votes and since the last reply was only 14 days ago.
