I used to love the Airtours International MD83s, back then when AIH first got going they were a really good charter carrier offering hot meals free of charge and hot towels and Bucks Fizz on morning flights.
I loved them ‘drainpipes’ or ‘darts’ as I used to call them. They reminded me of a dart coz of the t-tail and thin fueselage.

LOL @ Pablo.
DanAir – Living in the past a few times is ok, but this is getting pretty annoying….
I have heard lots of bad things about the MD83s personally.

The food was heated in the onboard microwaves. I remember one of the a/c having to make an emergency landing at MAN after the microwave caught fire. A steward/ess had put some metallic packaging in the microwave shortly after take-off.
