hi lazy man
as you probably know the DC9-30 has leading edge devices (SLATS) and would come in slightly nose high. the DC9-10 doesn't have the slats and might come in a bit nose low.
I've seen the DC9-30 come in pretty fast and still not hit nosewheel first.
Its a great plane, they have called the DC9 the last pilot's airliner and I agree!
Maybe they stopped making good pilots when the production line stopped for the DC9
