What a sad day, Boeing's handling of the sale of the 717 has always been abysmal.
Handled properly it could have sold up to 300-400 airframes. If my mate Donnie Douglas was alive today he'd be turning in his grave!
At least we have that wonderful airframe to grace our Aussie skys for some time to come.......they will see me out....unless...
......you reckon I will be able to fit my zimmer frame into the 717 cockpit.....it might take some adaption....I'll let you know how I go, then I'll patent it and start a competion for the oldest DC9 airframe driver about.....I believe I know who it is......any guesses?
