Delta 25 Years of MaDDogs

Delta feirer 25-årsjubileum for MD80-ops i disse dager, og i den forbindelse var det vel passende at fruen ble belønnet med en teknisk delay på sin flight fra ATL til Austin i ettermiddag ..

Quote:
This past April 2012, a major milestone was achieved at Delta when our workhorse MD-88 fleet reached its 25th birthday with the company.



It was on April 1, 1987 that the first “MaDDog” in Delta’s livery, took to the skies with revenue passengers. Ronald Reagan was President; Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” was at the top of the record charts, “Cheers” was a ratings leader on television and “Lethal Weapon” was a huge box office smash. A quarter century later, the MD-88 is still hard at work, and with a recent face lift, doing so with modern style and enhanced comfort for our customers. Reflecting on the changes witnessed by the 88’s over the years is fascinating. For example, in-flight WiFi, now a staple on the MD-88 fleet, was not even on the planning charts in 1987. In fact, the internet, still in its infancy, was mostly a specialized collection of USENET newsgroups for colleges and scientists. Indeed, the MD88’s have seen a period of tremendous progress and exciting change during their careers at Delta.

Når fikk SAS sin første MD maskin? Og tror du vi kan forvente oss et lite jubileum her også?

SAS fikk sine første i oktober 1985. Det er visse krefter i gang for å markere skikkelig når siste MD80 forlater SAS - annet enn det tror jeg neppe det blir.

Jeg blir fortsatt glad hver gang jeg kan sitte langt fremme i en MD. Er ikke så sikker på om komforten i økonomi har blitt så mye bedre siden 1985...

Det er vel få passasjeropplevelser som kan måle seg med å sitte foran i en MD! Men en og annen sjelden gang er det faktisk gøy å sitte ved siden av motorene. De bråker ikke så mye når man er kommet opp i marshøyde. Evt. man er blitt så hørselskadet under Take Off at man ikke lengre merker støyen
