Short flight in my second-to-favorite Boeing..
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 5:12 pmThe 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
Here
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."
