I was sitting in 1A and noticed four holes in the wall, indicating the plaque had been removed. It was a bit sad to realize that the aircraft was being readied for sale. Whoever has the plaque now, has got themselves a significant piece of McDonnell Douglas history! Where is that plaque?
Someone took it?

Was on N960AS on 2-15-08 PDX-OAK in 2C... and it was still there... really a cool plaque.
