McDonnell Douglas MD-83 —

Is it just me or the old airplane designs were gorgeous?

Agreed, Loved the old planes...

Old planes, They were much more elegant than the fat planes flying now.

Love the look of the MadDogs

I agree with you, Alex Georgescu, I love these planes, nice and very functional design, the great "workhorses" of many airlines

Amen!

So good to see ... ! Thanks.

Thank you everyone for the comments

What a unique view. The bright aluminum stands out. It looks fast just sitting there. I have always liked this plane. Thanks for a great pic!

The Douglas 9-series (of which this is an example) remains my favorite aircraft; simple, graceful, and clean. Oh, the other designs will fly, but this one does it so gracefully.

MD built some beautiful planes there is no question. I really wish the MD90/95 would've been more popular. Almost all the pieces were there. New avionics and New engines, but they ran out of money before they could consider updating that outdated wing.
