Midwest Express DC-9-30 Cockpit
A pic I had taken while flying the line as a First Officer back before 2004. Midwest Airlines. I think I took this at the gate in Milwaukee. The DC-9-30 was fun, but the DC-9-10 series, climbed like a homesick angel, but no slats.. It was a rocket.
These old DC-9's were interesting. You froze in the winter, and most likely your flight bag and coffee cup were drenched in Ethylene Glycol (Deice fluid) every time you got deiced. In the summer with 9 windows, the sun came beating in and you got a great tan, but it was a little hot. "Steam Gauges" and no EFIS. It was "real" flying, and no GPS, except for the GPS you stuck in the clearview window over your shoulder to give you your groundspeed, that you got at the local sporting goods store. :-)
This was a Color Negative I used to make a B&W photo, on Arista Edu Paper.
