| Dave Cibley , CA | N127NK is no longer at Victorville.
It is flying skydivers at Perris CA. (Yes I said skydivers). The read airstair can be removed for jump ops. 10/14/2007 @ 15:46 [ref: 18185] |

| Jim Schmidt Fresno, CA | The DC9-21 is a combination of the -10 fuselage with the -30 series slatted wings and JT8D-11 engines, making it an excellent short field airplane. The -20 series development was actually done after the DC9-40 series in response to a request from SAS for an airplane that had good short field performance. SAS ordered 10, of which only a few are flyable. In the US, one(N127NK - 83 seats)is airworthy, but in storage at Victorville, CA. Another one or two went to Aeropostal in Chile in 2000/2001. The airplane is a delight to fly, and has well balanced, lighter control forces than one would expect on a transport jet. 01/24/2003 @ 02:06 [ref: 6283] |
