So no flight testing? No research? No documets? Just a drunk and a pen?

And its still here 25 years later with a lot more to go?

So the Fed that cetified the 88 to enter service thought it was fine to certify because it doesn't crash much?

It shouldnt crash much since it hadn't been certified yet.

I think Bar likes the MD-88 about as much as I like the 737.
