The Douglas DC-9, designed for frequent, short flights, entered service in 1965. The DC-9 features two rear fuselage-mounted engines, small, highly efficient wings, and a T-tail. The DC-9 is one of the longest-lasting aircraft in operation, variants having been in production for over forty years. The DC-9 family is one of the most successful jet airliners ever made, and like its piston engined predecessors the DC-9 has a proven track record of rugged reliability and is ideally suited to charter work.
