purplehelmet, at least nine individual DC-9s have been at MAN the last ten days.

The correct name for the MD-82 is DC-9-82 - you will find it in the type certificate and you will even see it stamped on the MDC serial number placard attached in the left forward door frame. The first real MD came with the MD-88.
In other words you still can fly DC-9s from MAN - and the flights SK539/540 (CPH) , SK2547/48 (ARN) and SK2549/2550 (ARN) can be the best choice if you want to fly with one.
