Hi all!

Once I'd finished Singapore Airlines from AFQR, I went SIA mad!!!!!!!!

So here she is, SIA's new short-haul aircraft - the MD83!

On the ground at The Boeing Field

Very impressive shots thanks for posting.

Last time I remember seeing an MD 83 was at my local airport, it had its nose wheel sunk in grass and mud when he attempted to turn the aircraft. It was ok after they towed it out and inspected the gear. It was a charter aircraft that used to do a run to Spain every week. I remember the tower insisted that the captain paid cash for the landing fees on the spot!

Happy days!
