Notes:

Produced from the '60s to the '80s, the "Diesel 9", once had several hundred flying around the world, but as the aircraft adapted into the MD-80/90 or into the 717 families, or with the arrival of more efficient aircraft, these became rare to see. Currently, there are <30 active worldwide, & at least 11 of these are in operation for Aeronaves TSM in Mexico. Pictured is one of the few that fly in the US. This specific serial number first flew in 1967 (51 years old) and has a vast history within the USA and Canada, including the US Department of Energy in the 80's. (government aircraft)
