International Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-9-15MC N1307T
(c/n 47062)
As previously indicated, Trans Texas Airways
became Texas International Airlines early in 1969.
The variant of the short bodied series 10
DC-9 seen above was the convertible mixed pax/cargo
configuration
model MC. What, in Boeing parlance, would have been dubbed a
"Quick Change".
Bob Garrard shot this image at
Love Field, Dallas in July of 1970. At the time of the
inauguration
of the new airline name, the
DC-9s were
referred to as the "Pamper Jet". That appelation was no
no longer in
vogue,
however, when the mid 1970s livery was introduced, as evidenced in the
lower
shot
taken by
Frank C. Duarte Jr. at Stapleton International Airport, Denver,
in Sept of 1982
