This feels like Sun Country. The SY 727s I remember seeing in the late '90s/early 2000s were all -200s so I will guess a 72S.

Identify the mystery airline and the aircraft type it operated up to MSP.
After leaving a meeting in KC and making the drive to MCI I already feel like I'm in the southern suburbs of Minneapolis.

Can't remember if Midwest Express ever served MSP, let alone from its secondary hub at MCI, but I will guess YX with a DC-9.
