Relax, yes it is an L-382, although Delta choose to call it the L-100, for whatever reason. It appears they were the first civil operator, which in my opinion gives them the right to call it anything they like. And yes, as I stated, "S(outhern) A(ir) T(RANSPORT!!) flew many different 'missions' with them"...., of which I flew 'several'.... Merely passing on information as to why, I believe, someone would use the term 'L-100'. It would appear then when folks refer to, as an example, 747-400's as 744's they should be considered idiots. Unfortunately, it also appears that not all posters here are as 'informed' as you are. Thanks for the info....
