Great contributions, guys. That's a wonderfull assortment of colorful Friendships, EC. Rob, that CP Air DC-8 rolling out is great-long row of spoilers on that wing!. I don't think I ever photographed that c/s, but it did resemble the CP Railroad's C/s quite a bit.
Delivered to the airline on 20 December 1966, DC-9-15 N1061T msn 45775 was one of 20 early DC-9s ordered by TWA. The airline did not place another order for the DC-9 until years later when the MD-80 technically
evolved version appeared. Photographed at Boston on 2 March 1974.
The DC-9-31 series represented the initial stretched version of the design, being 15 ft. longer than the previous models. Eastern put the first of its 72 new -31 versions into service in February, 1967. By the time
I photographed N8957E msn 47215 at Miami on 3 Aug 85, it was a true veteran of the airline's route system.
