It's not polite, but since you ask: the DC-9s first flight was today in 1965
First introduced to service on December 8th 1965 as pictured here in ATL

Reverend Newk, your Fly DC Jets choir is here, so play on player!
So let's celebrate, here is a video from 1966 celebrating the new DC-9!
And to keep the party going, stop by the training center, take a look at the future of the greatest DC-9 derivative, the MD-88!
Not a photo shop.

I don't think any of that will translate over to Boeing opening up 767 400 production again.

Boeing's proposed KC-767 NewGen Tanker for the US Air Force incorporates the wing and fuselage from the 767-200, the cargo door and floor from the 767-300F and the cockpit from the 767-400ER.
The offering, which is currently being evaluated by the USAF along with the EADS North America KC-45 for an initial 179-aircraft requirement, will also feature a new boom. NewGen Tanker programme manager Jean Chamberlin says the new boom will have "a wider envelope than the KC-10 and is fully digitalised". She declines to provide more details for proprietary reasons but says it will "absolutely" be developed in time for initial operating capability in 2017.
The new boom is the biggest difference between the NewGen Tanker and the four delayed KC-767 tankers that Boeing is now preparing to deliver to Italy. "Boeing and the Italian air force will seek to deliver the first two KC-767s by the end of this year," the company says.

Google Calendar
Guys,
I have the HTC Droid incredible and use Icrew max to load my schedule which works great but I having trouble with my calendar.
When I go to my schedule there is a blue download button on the bottom. Using this button I am trying to download my schedule and import it into google calendar. Every time I try to download the schedule it does not offer me the choice of where to save it to and just gives me the 4 digit i crew max code - any ideas?
Thanks Scoop
