    Former War Criminal to NYFreeper; buccaneer81

    Thanks for the clarification(s). I couldn’t find anything on the search engines using the F-100, but the MD-80 rings a bell. I don’t think you can even find an F-100 on a pillar in front of an air station anymore!

    My neighbor in California (1978?) worked the DC-9 line in Long Beach, but I think Douglas moved the operation to Oklahoma and he went with them. But my favorite airplane of all time was built in Columbus, buccaneer81. The coolest name ever (Vigilante) came out of Columbus also, IIRC.

    I won’t bore you with that old Fokker joke.

    Merry Christmas to all.
