Boeing small Aircraft
Small Boeing AircraftRecently I was flying a Delta Air Lines Boeing 717 from Newark to Detroit. Well, I was flying a lot of big planes and a lot of small planes. I' ve been flying with Boeings, Airbuses and Embraers, Bombardiers and a variety of arcane aircraft nicknames. Until recently, I had never put a foot on a Boeing 717, a smaller aircraft that Boeing had come into when it purchased McDonnell Douglas in 1995 for $13 billion.
My tendency is to really like small jet aircraft, to put up with local airplanes, to really appreciate big airplanes - and I don't like the tight body that does most of the routine work of lugging U.S. citizens on inland flights these days. What's more, I don't like the tight body that's so common in the U.S.. That 717-200, in delta paint, which I climbed last months for a trip from Newark, NJ, to Detroit, was a puzzle.
You can find the current Boeing share prices here. Boeing 717 is a slightly cancelled aircraft that went out of operation in 2006. It was a Boeing mistake due to some McDonnell Douglas aircraft being absorbed when they purchased the plane maker in the mid-1990s. However, the 100-seater 717-200 is now in high demand as airlines move away from local jetliners.
