I'm having problems parsing your question, so I'll answer a question that I hope is similar to yours. :-) There is no airliner formally designated as the MD-80. There are five models of planes collectively referred to as the MD-80: MD-81, MD-82, MD-83, MD-87, and MD-88. I know AA refers to their MD-82s and MD-83s as Super 80s. (I'll let someone else explore why there are some DC9-8x models as well as MD-8x models on official paperwork.) >Thanks again, > >JC Nick
