After our sim session, the techs had to pull out the "glass" and re-install the round dials for the AMR guys scheduled next. The FMS wasn't ready yet, so we used "arc" or "rose" modes until the magic stuff showed up later.

Bar, I think you have all of the information you need to make a compelling case to the AJC that Delta Air Lines operates 117 absolutely unsafe airplanes.
Evidenced by its full of aerodynamic improvements like a 1900D, using an FMS that is also used in Boeings and that if operated outside of Honeywell's recommendations can be unsafe, and because it was certified by a drunk over three martini's on a Friday... December 8, 1987... which was a Tuesday.

Now I know that this is a celebratory thread for the Mad Dog, so we wouldn't want to put it down too much, but after reading Bucking Bar's post a few above, I was reminded of perhaps my favorite thing I have ever read on this forum, period.
Would anyone be able to dig up Bucking Bar's 100 item MD-88 list? Anyone who hadn't read it when it was buried in the DL Latest & Greatest would get a second chance, and anyone reading it a second time will still laugh for a good twenty minutes.
It seems like the MD-88 wouldn't care if it were posted on it's birthday thread.

Hey! I was pondering on my commuter flt, if the MD88 is the Mad Dog... Is the -9 the Demented Cat? Born of witches, survived Southwest attempts to drown it as kittens? So EATS 737s just because for revenge. Dont screw with the big sister!
