Great photos off the old SAS airliner. My favourite SAS plane is the MD80 with out any doubt 😀 .
And Saab draken isn’t that old to be put in the Historic Aviation 😉

It’s just a jump to the left…
For a minute when I saw that title I thought we were going REALLY off topic… 😀
Thankfully, however, not too much crossdressing – more crossposting!
Mike, this Forum told me that the old RAF Wethersfield “gate guard”, an F-100, was still alive and well so they can’t be too uppity about how modern they are or aren’t. There’s just a lot of propellor types here, that’s all.

Why is it, I discuss F-100’s, Drakens, F-104’s, Hunters, MiG-19’s etc. in the “Modern Military Forum”? 😉
Best regards
Surely this is the correct forum for these historic legends.

Yes, why did “they” throw away that perfect logo, the viking ship. Just to look like everybody else. We came in peace (sometimes) – all 3 Nordic countries.

Nice looking DC-9. Really miss the old Dragon head SAS logos. They were much better than the current ones.

Here’s one
(should’ve been in the commercial forum) 😮
When McDonnell-Douglas/Boeing? checked the design of the MD85/B-717, they put the computers into finding a better wing. In the end they couldn’t come up with a better shape/airfoil than the original DC-9 wing, made by human engineers and slide rules.
(Good story! Is it true?)
Told to me by a pretty reliable DC-9/MD80 pilot.
