STUNNING LIVERY! Aeronaves TSM McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32F action in Montreal (YUL/CYUL)

What a stunning livery on this iconic jet! Once a workhorse in the aviation industry, the DC9 has become a rare sight for spotters! I have been lucky enough to catch the DC9 from various airlines in North America, I can never get sick of that iconic sound!
Aeronaves TSM is a cargo charter airline based in Saltillo, Mexico. The airline operates a very unique fleet of cargo aircraft including the 737F's, CRJ-100/200F, metroliners, MD-80F's and DC-9F's! Aeronaves does fly to Montreal on occasion with metroliners or CRJ's, as well as their MD80 and DC9 on rare occasion. This is the first visit of Aeronaves's stunning yellow DC-9 to YUL.
This specific DC-9 (XA-URM) started its life in 1968 with Overseas national airways, it flew with various U.S carriers until 1985 when it was converted to cargo for Airborne Express. It joined Aeronaves TSM in 2012 and was leased out to MercadoLibre in 2021. The aircraft is now fully back with Aeronaves TSM.

When I was in my early teens I used to watch these at San Jose. This reminds my of the Hughes Airwest (Flying Banana) look.

Forever my favorite airplane ! ❤

[@MrUnicornone]

Remembering SAS DC9-21, it was nicked “the sport” less of the most but power. Was a joy to fly with.. Always aggressive take offs.

Awesome catch 57 years old Douglas DC-9F 😍😎

[@bernardanderson3758]

I remember those days of the DC-9s and seeing many on the ramp

[@tomsamuelson8512]

I remember when Hughes AirWest whole fleet was painted yellow like this. Some people called them the flying Banana airline.....

[@MarcvanExel]

Very nice catch, lovely old workhorse

[@peterhanssens7260]

Good old DC 9 !! When I was young, I did fly one on AC to Halifax from YUL way back in the 70s 😂. Thanks, Mark.

[@ericlozen9631]

I don't feel so old now, I'm 56. Nice Catch!

[@lagunsmoose]

Wow, 2 years younger than me, and in better shape!👀👍🏼

Flew on Hughes Air West's later Republic Airlines and Pacific Southwest Airlines DC-9's in the 70s and 80s.

[@jaimemontano2674]

Amazing and so lucky catch, for us in Mexico they are really difficult to spot during daylight.

[@dougieh4111]

Beautiful aircraft. I used to fly on these when Air Canada had them. I wonder what this one is carrying. Funny.... now I want tacos for lunch! 😝
