Scenes from the last commercial aircraft to be built in Long Beach. A pair of 717's; Air Tran and Midwest.

Super,

You guys sent a DC-9 in for the celebration as well (or more aptly, the wake). Just over Bill Smith's (KTLA Channel 5) left shoulder.



Many a tear shed that day, but thanks for coming to say farewell.

Nice pictures.

You appeared on TV without your de rigueur pocket protector?
