We recently had the opportunity to view Delta Airlines Ship 9880. It is a Douglas DC-9, but painted in the current Delta livery. At the time of its retirement, it was the oldest aircraft in Delta's fleet. Let's take a closer look, come join us as we visit 9880.

More on this aircraft: Ship 9880 is a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-50 built in 1975. The aircraft became part of the Delta fleet when Northwest Airlines merged with Delta on October 29, 2008, and was painted in Delta livery in Spring 2009. Northwest acquired the DC-9 on March 11, 1992, and assigned it fleet number 9880. Prior to service with Northwest, Ship 9880 flew with five airlines: Austrian Airlines in 1975, Muse Air in 1985, TranStar Airlines in 1986, Eastern Air Lines in 1987, and Continental Air Lines in 1991. Ship 9880 retired from Delta service on November 26, 2013, and joined the Delta Flight Museum on April 27, 2014. Today, Ship 9880 is part of the retired Delta fleet. [1]
