Douglas DC-9-30

The DC-9-30 stretched the DC-9 by about 15 feet to 119 ft 4 in, with a longer 93 ft 4 in wing, and first flew on August 1, 1966. It could carry up to 115 passengers. Boeing's planning manual gives its DC-9-32 version a maximum take-off weight of 108,000 pounds and 13,926 liters of usable fuel, and the DC-9-33F freighter has a cargo door and room for 4,195 cubic feet of freight. Two Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofans sit on the rear fuselage below the T-tail. A few still fly in US airspace.
