1. Title: "Finnair MD-83 OH-LPD at Gatwick Airport in September 1997" 2. Description: This photograph captures the McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft, registered as OH-LPD, of Finnair, parked at Gatwick Airport in September 1997. With the distinctive McDonnell Douglas livery adorning its exterior, this MD-83 jet stands out against the backdrop of the bustling airport. The MD-83, a twin-engine, single-aisle airliner, was manufactured by McDonnell Douglas in 1988 as part of the MD-80 series, with this particular aircraft being designated as msn 49710 and line number 1547. The Finnair livery, featuring a sleek blue and white color scheme with the distinctive "Finnair" logo, adds an elegant touch to the powerful and versatile MD-83. 3. Background: The McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series, which includes the MD-81, MD-82, MD-83, and MD-88 models, was a popular choice among airlines for its fuel efficiency, range, and versatility. Finnair, the flag carrier of Finland, operated a fleet of MD-80 series aircraft for many years, including the MD-83 featured in this photograph. The MD-83 was known for its ability to fly both short and long-haul routes, making it an ideal addition to Finnair's fleet. 4. Technical Details: The MD-83, with a seating capacity of up to 172 passengers, was powered by two Rolls-Royce BR715 turbofan engines. It had a wingspan of 113 feet 1 inch, a length of 131 feet 9 inches, and a height of 38 feet 5 inches. The aircraft had a cruising speed of 536 miles per hour and a range of 2,200 nautical miles. 5. Interesting Facts: Finnair was the first European airline to operate the MD-80 series, having taken delivery of its first MD-81 in 1982. The MD-83 in this photograph, OH-LPD, was delivered to Finnair in 1988 and remained in their fleet until 2010. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and power of the MD-83 jet as it sat at Gatwick Airport in 1997.
