Douglas DC-9-15, operated by Air Florida as N70AF. The aircraft joined Air Florida during the carrier's early expansion from an intrastate Florida airline into a larger regional and international operator. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines, the compact DC-9 was well suited to short haul services linking cities throughout Florida and the southeastern United States. N70AF provided reliable jet service while Air Florida expanded rapidly during the late 1970s. The DC-9s represented an important early stage in the airline's development before larger Boeing 737s became the backbone of its scheduled passenger fleet. Designed as a short-range twin-jet transport, the DC-9 was first flown on February 25th, 1965. Since shorter routes frequently required operation from small airports, the design focused on short-field performance. The most significant decision was to move the engines from under the wings to the tail, enabling the use of full-span flaps, reducing the possibility of foreign-object ingestion and lowering ground clearance for easier servicing at small terminals. The DC-9 spawned many variants leading to the MD-80, MD-90 and Boeing 717. In total, almost 2,500 aircraft were built over a period of more than 40 years. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
