Would love this! My great grandfather was a pilot for TWA and Ozark on the DC9!

Great suggestion! I’d also love it if Korean Air could be added as one of the DC-9 liveries, since they actually operated the type in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Just as a note: at that time, the aircraft wore the classic “KAL” livery (white fuselage with blue/green cheatlines and “Korean Air Lines” titles). The famous sky blue livery (introduced in 1984) was never applied to the DC-9, as the type had already left the fleet by the

Been doing some digging into Congolese airlines and came across African Express Airways, a Kenyan based Somali airline which still has a DC 9-31 operational on pax flights,

And ofc, it’s within operational range of MCT which make it even better.

Also thought I’d add that Delta operated Northwests DC 9-40/50s into 2012 and painted the -50s into their newest livery,

Would LOVE to see this aircraft.

DC9 MD80 (all variants 82 83 etc) and 717 in the same update would be amazing!

Some reason I thought this was a DC3 when I clicked the heading, but my goodness, this aircraft would be fun to see in the game and in America for having the specials for the USAF and USAN

Been doing some snooping in regards to Liverpool Airport and came across a cracking forum thread about 707s at the airport, with someone leaving links to a chaps Flickr albums at the airport with these 2 gorgeous images which would make for fantastic additions as specials.

Martinair,

KLM,

Spirit used to operate them in the 1990s so could make for a cool retro event livery for the type and airline,

Adding some Caribbean and South American flavor
