Historical description: The DC-9-10 is the first variant of the famous McDonnell Douglas DC-9 passenger plane. Designed in the early 1960s as a short- and medium-haul airliner for carriers wishing to serve regional routes, the DC-9-10 prototype made its first flight on February 25, 1965, in the United States. It marked the beginning of a family of aircraft widely operated worldwide from the 1960s to the late 1990s.

The Fly 14418 model faithfully recreates the nuances of the DC-9 prototype’s silhouette, including the distinctive fuselage, wing, and tail arrangement.

The included decals allow for an accurate reproduction of the prototype’s original livery and markings.
