Celebrating the Super 80 jan. 2020 Douglas built tough airliners. From DC-3s to DC-8s, the Douglas airliners were rugged and reliable. The DC-9, introduced in 1965 was no exception, with original models from 1966 still operating today. By 1979 the little DC-9 had been stretched and updated 3 times, but then Douglas launched an extraordinary stretch  equipped with Pratt & Whitney JT8D-217s. This was to become the DC-9 "Super 80", the most successful and popular of all DC-9s. Almost 1200 of the sleek Super 80s found homes with airlines from Start ups to the Giants. But, as we enter the year 2020, the Super 80 has become a relic, as emphasized by the final flight of American's once huge MD 80 fleet. The time seems appropriate for a postcard review of the many operators of this extraordinary airliner. Album by John Schmidt. 1 - 198 of 198 Total. 0 Visits.
