The popular S80 Aircraft

DC-9, MD-80, S-80 Aircraft



The S80 aircraft were easy to see and take on trips in the '90s in the U.S.  These fun airplanes came in MD-82, MD-83 and MD-88 models. These were made by the same company that made the Gemini and Apollo spacecraft.  The window latches in the cockpit show some of the same design concepts.  Now at 2016 these S-80 aircraft are rare to see.  There are some at DFW in Texas and that is about all there are to see.  The form of the aircraft had an appeal that has been hard to match.
