Photos of USAir DC-9-30s I have are:

I think the picture was taken at BDL.


I think the picture was taken at ROC.


I also remember NW DC-9-10s, that little DC-9s. A flight on NW DC-9-10s I particularly remember, the FA made an announcement before the departure that the flight had three new FAs in training. During the flight, there were like five FAs in the aisle doing drink service in that small cabin. The drink service ended very quickly, thanks to that. Didn't NW acquire DC-9s when NW acquired Republic Airlines? I think the smallest aircraft NW had before the merger with Republic Airlines was 727-100. I found a few pictures I took of NW DC-9-10s.

Northwest/Republic hybrid color of DC-9-10. I think the picture was taken at ABE.


Full NW color DC-9-10. I think the picture was taken at MSP.
