The DC-9, built by the Douglas Aircraft Company, is a twin-engine, single-aisle, short-to-medium-range jet airliner. The DC-9 family of aircraft is one of the most successful series of airliners ever built, with a total production of over 2,400 aircraft.
This collection from Sky Simulations covers the entire DC-9 family, with five different models: DC-9: -10, -21, -30, -41 and -51. It also includes the -10F and -33F freighter variants.
See the Detailed Description section below for the full list of features!
