boeing Out-of-Production Models

[calumd]

hey

did every1 else no tht boeing stop produceing 757, DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, MD-11, MD-80, MD-90 because i didnt

I knew it. Planes like the DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, and the MD-80 are old models. The MD-11, MD-90, and the 757 are realitively new models,
but the demand for them isn't high, and newer models are replacing them.

757 surprised me

Lovely planes, all of them,....well, maybe the DC-10,...ehem...bad reputation...

757 is a wonderful aircraft and I think it sad that Boeing believes they can "replace" it with the 739.

DC-10,...ehem...bad reputation...

The -10 series had the problems. The -30 & -40 variants were re-engineered.

Actually the 787 is the direct replacement for both that and the 767.

It would be great to see this plane actually fly, but it kind of looks like a project that will get cancelled.
