Maybe a little off as I am only working from a rust memory, but going to your fleet page and then instructor will get you close.

Right now the BOD authorized the purchase of 65 airframes.
We have 16 MD90 so that brings the fleet up to 81 MD90s.
MD made 110 MD90s so the missing planes are the 29 at Saudi Arabian.

Heres why they are different:

MD11 style overhead panel:

Flat screens instead of round gauges:

Note the MD11 style flap selector lack of TRP, hydraulic pump switches on the overhead...

OTOH if the Saudi MD90 rumor turns out to be true it would be great news as it might indicate a cockpit retrofit for the MD90 fleet to enable RNP....

Hmmmmm? Lets see, just as Iron Man II wraps production and gets ready for release Ferd is back? As I recall Ferd also took a hiatus when the first Iron Man movie was in production.

Bingo! Ferd is either Robert Downey Jr. or the real Tony Stark!!!

Welcome Back!
