I am flying for the first time later this month on American Airlines. I am trying to find info on the plane I will be in. American has it listed as S80 aircraft. I have not been able to find much of anything. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks

No, that's not it.:) It's actually an M-D product; "Super" 80, I think.

We know it's not the Russian one lol.

The Boeing MD-80, a quiet, fuel-efficient twinjet, was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration in August 1980 and entered airline service in October 1980. Its Pratt & Whitney JT8D-200 engines, combined with its efficient aerodynamic design, allow the MD-80 to meet all current noise regulations while producing operating costs among the lowest in commercial aviation.

In between multiple un-explained crashes, the MD-80 has performed remarkably well, considering the out-dated design that was used in order to cut costs.

The Boeing MD-80 is a first class passenger plane (when aloft) and tends to not leave too big a hole in the ground, during those un-scheduled landings.

We hope you enjoy flying on one of our newest planes, and remember at Boeing we believe a rivet saved is, well less weight, and less weight has to be good for a plane right?

Yes :) Keep repeating that to yourself... it will make you feel better...

Don't worry about all those pesky "alarms" going off in the cockpit :)
