If you like to fly, you will love the DC-9. You have to make the airplane go when you want it to go.

If you like to be flown around, you will hate the DC-9. The only thing "Auto" on it are the spoilers. (The autopilot isn't even really "auto.")

For me, it's a fun airplane and I like the face the younger jumpseaters have when they ride up front for the first time. One word: AWE. (Or, is that fear?)
