Pics please! I blew through YUL a week or so ago, and it was quite sad to see the Energizer's sitting on the sidelines. Rockliffe Airport? Must be real small, never heard of it. I'm with you, those DC9s were exceptional craft. Even a trip on a BWIA MD83 a few weeks back came close to the excellence of the bird, but it will never be the same.
