Buonasera.
Tristissima notizia per tutti gli estimatori del Mad Dog: DAT-Danish Air Transport (Danimarca) ha comunicato che ritirerà l'ultimo MD-83 in servizio con un volo di commiato il 16 Ottobre 2021.
L'aereo è l'OY-RUE ancora con la livrea speciale per i Mondiali di calcio del 2014 (leased dalla Coca Cola) ma senza titoli nè marchi pubblicitari.
Biglietti a euro 267 per 1h 30min di volo.
In effetti gli ultimi operatori dell'MD-80 in Europa sono:
ALK Airlines (Bulgaria) con due MD-82
AMAC Aerospace (Svizzera) con un singolo MD-87
Bravo Airways (Ucraina) con due MD-82
European Air Charter (Bulgaria) con otto MD-82 (uno dei quali ho avuto il piacere e l'onore di spottare a FCO)
Altri Md-80 ancora volano con compagnie aeree secondarie in Iran, USA, America Latina e Africa.

Tickets for the event cost DKK1,990 – EUR267.62 as of September 25 – and include a safety card, a t-shirt and snacks during the flight.
This is one of the last opportunities to fly the «Mad Dog» in Europe. According to Planespotters.net, the remaining operators of the MD-80 family in the Old Continent are ALK Airlines and European Air Charter, from Bulgaria, AMAC Aerospace, from Switzerland, and Bravo Airways, from Ukraine.
OY-RUE, more specifically, became a very popular aircraft among planespotters around the world when it was leased by Coca-Cola to carry the trophy of the Football World Cup of in 2014, sporting commemorative titles. To this day, Uniform-Echo sports the basic colors of that event.
Also according to Planespotters.net, the airframe was originally delivered to the UK’s Airtours International Airways in November 1990, with serial number 49936. Over the years, it flew passengers for Turkey’s Sunways, AOM French Airlines, Spanair and Romania’s Medallion Air, before being delivered to DAT in January 2010.
