DC9 at STN
Any idea who the DC9 belonged to today,looked like an ex USAF aircraft by the colour scheme. FR24 had no record of it

It probably was US military. I've seen one or two C-9's landing at STN. You occasionally see the USN version in Naples too.

YR-OTN MD82 operated the Moldovan flight 9U833 yesterday lunchtime. This has been used regularly over the last few weeks.

Thanks dave
So they painted it upside down :-D my mistake |
It's operated by Ten Airlines from Romania. I've been jump seating to/from Chisianau for the last few weeks with them. Good crews and Olympic level drinkers in the hotel!

recently a USAF dc9 equivilent was auctioned off as a former air force one (clinton flew on it once)> nice shape.
if it is former USAIR/PSA, anyone know the registration number? perhaps ending in US or AU |
Glendalegoon, 'twas N944PS/N820US.

I saw this old bird in the last days at STN and as others have said it was a dead ringer for a C-9 or VC-9 (if such existed). Photographic evidence showed this to be incorrect and it's heritage was confirmed, BUT it's because it has the partial colour scheme that mimics the VC-25's of the US President and this is what has caused it to be suspected of being ex-USAF.

maybe it wasn't at USAIR
all the real dc9's had N numbers with 9 as the first number: eg: 913VJ at least after the merger with PSA it wasn't an MD80 was it????? |
It appears to be an MD-82/DC-9-82 and was at USAir back in the 80's according to a cursory look on the inter web.

ok, so its an md82 and then the N number makes sense
nice paint job |
