I flew the "9" thirteen yrs 9 as a ck airman....it is magic! 1 to 1 profile ..10k agl 10 mi and you had to add power. No bells or computer voices. Came out of the air like a bag of hammers. (Hope that's ok to say River)

That's something I like about them. You don't have to worry so much about whether you'll make restrictions on SIDs and STARs. The -10's a rocket from what I've seen, but I'm not so sure about the -30.

Flew 10's, 30's and 40's...the 30 series was the best. 10 series alot of work in icing with any deferred items and the hard wing. And of course out of 75 DC9's we only had 2 10 series and they went to FAR and APE yr round.

Great motor 7K hrs....sucked in 3 birds...still kept running! We had 8-10 33Fs with -11's that was a good combination.
