The most beautiful aircraft ever made. Produced from 1980 to 1999 by McDonnell Douglas (and later Boeing after the merger of the two) as an updated version of the venerable DC-9. The MD-80 was originally designated DC-9-80 and marketed as the "Super 80". The MD-80 was been popular with airlines for its low operating cost and quiet operation when first introduced and continues to be due to its rugged construction and proven reliability.
