Short flight in my second-to-favorite Boeing..

[FlyingPerson]

The 717! I find it weird that this was originally the "MD-95", but when it was handed over to Boeing, the cockpit design was changed completely!

Example: MD-90 Cockpit

Boeing 717-200 Cockpit:

Pretty cool.. two airliners looking very much alike outside can have very different cockpits. Anyway, to the shots.

Sitting at the gate at KLAS. Passengers boarded, ready for pushback. I have decided to taxi to rwy 25R with one engine today to save fuel.



Steep takeoff out of Las Vegas.



Cruising at FL200, M 0,71, and a lot of turbulence.



Traffic jam.. in the background there is a SWA 737-700W and an AA MD-88 at the same heading . I decided this NWA 752 was more interesting anyway.



Touchdown at Albuquerque airport, not my smoothest flight.. steep takeoff, a lot of turbulence, stupid ATC and rough landing..
Well, i'll tell the passengers..
"I was tired."
