Which of the MD Series of aircraft is closest in specs to the original DC9? I guess including a B717 as well. When I mean spec I mean closest in climb rate, cruise speed etc. I was talking with a friend who used to be a Captain/First Officer on them for Air Canada and she told me she thought the DC9 was the "sports car" of commercial airliners. I guess I was wondering what its modern equivalent would be. Shaun Grover sgrover@sk.sympatico.ca ICQ: 876075
