American Airlines MD80 Final Flight?

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a Do where we'd fly the final revenue flight of the American Airlines MD80. They are being retired later this year, and I think I've found the last scheduled MD80 flight (of course, it's subject to schedule changes).

Before I reveal what I (think) the final flight will be, is anyone interested? Should this thread be better off in the American Airlines forum?

American plans to retire their MD80s in September, which is about 5 months away. Also, speaking with a friend who flies for American, he doesn't know if American has any sort of farewell flight planned, but also said that he would be surprised if they didn't do one since the MD80 has been the workhorse that has been the backbone of their fleet for a long time. Has American (or US Airways for that matter since it's that group in charge) ever done a special farewell flight in the past when they retired an aircraft type?
