What is your favourite airliner that started its production run
before 1980?
Personally, I must say the evergreen Douglas DC-9, in particular the cuter
little -10 & -20's. Not only are the cute as ****, but they have also proved themselves
as some of the most durable aircraft on the globe, with 49 year old examples still
flying passengers daily in poorer countries, and the pilots often comment on
how surprisingly reliable they still are.
