McDonell Douglas MD-90

Hi all,

Well I'm off ti Iceland in June to see Cork City FC take on FC Valur in the Intertoto Cup and I'm travelling with a group of friends through Stansted and onto Rekyavik with Iceland Express.

Being an aircarft enthusiast I of course looked up on their fleet!

Two MD-90's.....

I've never been in one of these before nor used one on a simulator so I'm looking forward to it.

Has anyone here flew in one and if so what is it like? Is there anything I should look out for on it that may interest me?

I'm so sick of all airlines with stade 737's and A320's that it's nice to be getting into something a little different now!

Wikipedia is your friend.

I've flown on Delta MD-90s. Nice enough plane, especially if you're forward of the engines - they can be a little noisy at the back with the engines directly attached to the fuselage.

Love the Noise!:D

Been on MD82/80 quite a few times . Get as far forward as you can and then it's one of the most comfortable/quiet jets around. Get near the back , nightmare !

It comes from the old DC9, in fact it used to be called the DC9-80/82 , but I suppose the 90 is the later one .

Sounds cool lads. Thansk for all the links etc.

If it is anything like the MD80/82 sitting at back beside engine is unbearable.
Made the mistake of getting window seat right at back on Finnair MD 80/82.
Sat from Dublin to Helsinki with no window but engine other side of fueslage and let me tell you it is damm noisy.
Apart from that nice aircraft.

Don't forget they have 5 seats across, have a look on the web to see the seat numbers

and yes they are very noisy near the engines - but lots of seats ahead of the wings at the front so much better view than on most.
