The control columns are surprisingly tall. Are they the same in the Bulldog? I flew one once, but I don’t remember the stick geometry.

Hard to tell from the pic but the flap handle appears to be more MD80ish. The DC9-30 had a flap/slat handle (two components) that could be split to operate the flaps independently of the slats in abnormal conditions. OH if I guessed correctly.

You can see (sort of) in these pix:

Yes, it's the 35th McDonnell Douglas MD-82 constructed in China.

The MD-82 was assembled under license in Shanghai by the Shanghai Aviation Industrial Corporation (SAIC, today's COMAC) beginning in November 1986; the sub-assemblies were delivered by McDonnell Douglas in kit form.[6][page needed]

Gosh, I hadn’t realised how long ago the Chinese started making the MD82. Well done Bafanfly.

I’ll seize the OH if that’s OK. Just over 100 of these were made, far fewer than its predecessor.

I think Beamr has it. The B29 plus 3.

What happened to the intervening types?
