Why should this aircraft be added?
A beloved aircraft by some that is sadly disappearing from many fleets. The aircraft has had a fairly short life span, being introduced in 1999 with its last delivery in 2006. It would add a unique bit of aviation heritage and would add some realism as Delta uses it on their routes between ATL and IAD.
