    One of the ironies is that often you get better legroom on an old aircraft than a modern one.

      Meridiana is one of the last MD-80 operators in Europe. But not for long! As I think they are being replaced by Air Italy/Meridiana's order for 20 Boeing 737-8 MAX's (They are also Italy's launch customer for the type)

    Thanks for including a DC-9 family member in your flight review. The initial take-off climb rate is quite spectacular, isn't it? Whether a passenger or watching from the ground I'm always amazed. Part of the reason there are 30+ year-old DCs and MDs still flying is that they were built to last.

    Was für ein cooles Flugzeug...
    Eine MD 80 war mein erstes Bild in DUS, als ich mit dem Flugzeuge fotografieren
    anfing. Ich glaube von SAS.
    Hab gerade mal geschaut, als erster Besitzer wurde für die I-SMET die Airline Alisarda genannt.
    War das der Vorgänger von Meridiana?
    Ansonsten ein sehr schöner kurzer Hüpfer.

In the future, I will be flying was a traveller and a pilot. Yes, I love travelling, so, I chose to be a pilot as my future job. You are also lucky to go on special events such as the A350 Launch Flight. I loved your videos. I just named my channel 'World Traveller' because I got so inspired by you.
