Take-off was swift and the climb-out impressive. The engines emit more of a whine than a roar. I was impressed. The last time I flew a 717 was aboard Air Trans in Business Class and of course it was even quieter up there.</font>
The best thing about the 717, aside from the 100% fresh air in the cabin, is the take-off and climb-out. It's a rocket! I just wish AA would have kept the ex-TW ships.

Great report! A DC-3 and crew all to yourself as well. That's really cool.
