Douglas DC-9-10 (N783TW)

Casey, I believe I've tracked this one before on FA. That's a very good photo and a great catch at JAN. Most likely it was a service flight for Nissan's manufacturing facility in Canton, but I could be mistaken.

That one should be a DC-9-15F cargo version, msn 47010 and manufactured in 1966.

Thanks for sharing!

Casey, I uploaded a "sister" to your nice DC-9 Cargo that you captured at JAN.

Cliff, it's very rare these days, at least to my knowledge, to catch a baby-nine around this airport. As far as I know they fly to Hawkins Field mostly. I could be wrong, though, but it's def. a surprise!

I believe you are correct, Casey... and your photo of this DC-9 has been chosen as a "Staff Pick"!!!

Cliff, you're right!!

Casey, your N783TW DC-9 gets around... there's 16 other photos of this Douglas in FlightAware's database.

Cliff, N783TW, from my research, used to be a TWA 707!

Casey, that 707, c/n 18402, was withdrawn from use by TWA in 1982, ended up at Davis-Monthan AFB and used for KC-135 parts.
