A year ago they said they were purchasing kits for all Delta's aircraft. Sounds like they are hitting the streets. It's still a shame we are not getting ADSB in also.

Anyone else think that the 88 will be around longer than this depicts?

I was told the 9202 is coming back into service mid-September after a pair of overhauled engines are shipped.

My understanding is that they will be rotating aircraft in and out of storage to balance hours on the airframes and avoid heavy checks.

Yes, thanks. I had been interested a chart showing the retirements. Figured other MadDog enthusiasts might be as well.
