Southern Airways
McDonnell Douglas DC-9-15 N91S (c/n 47063)
As
indicated, Southern did not operate turboprops, but waited until May of
1967 for their first
short bodied DC-9s to be delivered. Here is the first one, N91S
blasting out of Hartsfield Airport
on a route proving flight.
Ten years later Southern gained its first international route, to the
Cayman
Islands. This
aircraft went on to serve with continuing airlines Republic and
Northwest before
being withdrawn from use.
