End of an era: American Airlines flight 9625 takes off from DFW for the final time en route to Roswell International Air Center (ROW) in Roswell, New Mexico for storage and eventual scrapping. At least two dozen MD-80s departed throughout the day, with most pilots performing a wing wave on climbout as each aircraft bade farewell to the DFW hub that had been the center of American Airlines Super 80 operations for 36 years | 09:47L, 32.897669, -97.044369
