Aloha All,
A friend sent a scan, a NICE aerial shot, of the line up at Seattle last week. Who may I contact to get the "okay" to post this in Japan?
TIA,
David Aiken

Thanks Joe,
Yes, this is the photo, and I seek permission for my Japanese sensei to use the photo.
TIA,
David

Too bad they didn't use the real 717 - the KC-135.

Yeah, putting the DC-9 in that lineup is a cheat. :P

But notice what else is there, off to the side. The Dreamlifter off to the left. On the lawn is a B-47 and what might be a 247, DC-3, or perhaps Curtiss Commando? And is that a Concorde on the back lot?

Notably missing: B-17, B-52, Stearman.

Douglas. Not McDonnel Douglas. Just Douglas. Douglas Commercial 9. Great-grandson of Douglas Commercial 3.

You hear the McDonnell guys in Saint Loui say the same thing about the WARBIRD - FIGHTERS. Where Is The Love?

I still can't get used to "Boeing F/A-18" and "Boeing F-15". And while we're at it, I also have trouble with "Lockheed F-16". :roll:

Cheers!

It could be worse, we could be saying "Ford B-24 Liberator". :oops:
I guess that already happened years ago! :lol:

The 717 will always be an MD-80 or DC-9 to me!

I am still looking for the Warbird in this photo........

Oh there it is.....the B-47 Stratojet above the Boeing 747..... :lol:

And I agree that the "Boeing 717" does not really belong in the line-up....It is not a real Boeing 7X7 or 7XX by a long shot.

It is truly a "DC-9/MD-80/90" series for sure.

:wink:
