The type was the backbone of its domestic network for over thirty years, and passengers either loved or hated the noise from those rear mounted engines depending on where they sat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrews called it the Mad Dog. The name came from the MD designation and stuck across the whole DC-9 derived family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelta had planned to retire the MD-88 gradually through 2020. The pandemic ended that. The fleet was withdrawn in June 2020, years earlier than intended, and the aircraft went straight to storage. The last flight was a short hop with a crew who had flown the type for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the Partial option\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a Partial tag the paint break falls off centre, so the split between colours sits in a different place on every single piece.
