EVERY reminder of McD was gone. Not a single sticker, patch or model available. Instead - all Boeing, all the time.
They even had "Boeing DC-8" patches. Oh, the humanity....
In the mid to late 90s I used to do recurrent on the -80 in Long Beach. Every trip I'd go over to the airline delivery office and ask for a few stickers. They would give me a couple each trip. After Boeing bought McD I went in and asked for some stickers expecting to get a few more. They were in the process of shutting that office down. The lady pointed to a back room and said, "the cabinet is back there, help yourself". I now have a nice collection of McDonnell Douglas stickers
