Details
The McDonnell Douglas DC-9 (initially known as the Douglas DC-9) is a family of twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliners, first manufactured in 1965 and subsequently, in greatly modified form, under a succession of different names. Douglas launched the DC-9 development project in April 1963, intending the DC-9 as a short-range companion to their larger four engined DC-8. The DC-9 prototype flew in February 1965 and entered service with Delta Air Lines in December of that year. It was an immediate commercial success, and 976 were built by Douglas which then merged with McDonnell in 1967. The DC-9 family is one of the most rugged, longest-lasting aircraft currently in operation. With total sales of over 2400 units, the long-lived DC-9 family is one of the most successful jet airliners ever made.

- Inflight 200 US Air Force DC-9-32 (Polished) (cn 47670/769) (73-1682 VC-9 DC-9-32)
-
This is a very smart and attractive replica. Looking at two pages of pix on A-net, Inflight has captured the colors perfectly. The air frame 73-1682 has been part of the VIP USAF fleet at least since the 1970s and continues active through today. The shape of the nose of this model matches up with the images. Window markings are correct and the rolling tires on the landing gear are to scale. The polished finish on the lower fuselage is so shinny you can see yourself in it, in contrast the the previous Inflight VC-9 issued some time ago with a VIP blue belly.Inflight previously issued another VC-9, known as Nightingale. That aircraft and model also features a large cargo door. The window configuration is also different on the "white" version. Both look great together on display. (Posted on 11/16/2010)
