DC8F
DC-9
DC-10
Tristar
MD87

Admittedly the dying days of a few types (A300, 727, DC9, DC10) and a couple of leases in the mix (DC8F and Tristar). But it must have been very lucrative being IB's safety card producer!

Back to original topic, Blue 1 in Finland flew solely the Boeing 717 for its last three years of existence, prior to its sad winding up in 2015. Was a good airline and I enjoyed rides on OH-BLI and BLQ back in 2012, deliberately seating myself next to the Rollers at the back which was a splendid experience.
