MD-80's 2nd Life

Featured Replies

American Airlines donated this retired MD-80 (N491AA) to Oklahoma State University to be used as a living laboratory.  It currently sits out at Stillwater Regional Airport.  Here are a few images from back a few months ago when my Aerospace Structures class went out there.

Hi Folks,

Big fan of the Mad Daaaawg... Beautiful shots - and now I know where my Coolsky MD-80's in P3D went - they are sorely missed...

Regards,
Scott
