I knew this would eventually come But I am very grateful for what fate had to throw at...us, talkin' about the fact that they retired their DC-9s and then the type magically reentered DL' fleet when they merged with NW I mean...this is one of those very rare, very happy and very appreciated moments in aviation, when you think it's over with a certain type but in fact...it isn't over just yet! Every time such a jewel is being retired, especially when it's the last one of its type doing what it did (hauling people), I'm thinking "how utterly nice it would be if some new airline would pop up, or an existing one, would start to re-operate this type for some more years to come" in most cases is just day-dreammin' but sometimes it's pure reality, DL' case is the proof.
