Notes:

One of my bucket list catches! This bird was the 97th DC-9 off the production line and has flown for quite a few airlines, Air Canada being one of the first, many decades ago. It’s truly an incredible sight to see a 56 year old plane still flying strong, and in a sharp paint scheme. What a way to start off the year, long live the DC-9!
