China Eastern Airlines finally retired their last MD90-30 (B-2268) during a ceremony on 3 August 2010 with the last aircraft acting as a nice background.
The company introduced their first MD-90s in 1997 and took delivery of nine aircraft. The entire fleet was sold to Delta Air Lines. The only remaining MD-90-fleet in PR China is now operated by China Southern Airlines with 13 aircraft (including two locally-manufactured MD-90s) but China Southern announced a few weeks ago that they’ve found a buyer for their entire fleet and the retirement is believed to be imminent. First serious rumours about the retirement at China Eastern were published in July 2010 but only yesterday I´ve found some reliable sources with some sort of confirmation that the retirement was accomplished.

It’s a pity your signature link doesn’t point to a website that the average forumite might understand, MD-80.
My rudimentary German language skills have become somewhat rusty in the intervening 60 years since the days of Herr Lehrer.
Hello,
I am sorry that my website is only in German language but I´ve tried to find some sort of a solution:
http://www.md-80.com/change-language/
After a change to another language, click on “Contents” on the left navigational bar and you will see a manually made list of all pages. The translation is not 100% correct but it´s a guideline for all non-German speakers. The usage of the “Contents”-page is important due to the fact that the translator does NOT work when using a drop-down menu for example.
Thank you!
Kindest regards!
PS:
Herr Lehrer.
I am glad that I am no longer in need to say that to my teacher 😉
