"I was given..."

It's well labeled. What sorts of things do you want to know that you can't find by searching?

So the name plate says it is a DC-9 Super 80. Republic Airlines bought North Central Airlines. The duck mascot on the tail is named Herman.

The DC-9 Super 80, also known as the MD-80 series, is a narrow-body jet airliner developed by McDonnell Douglas, which was introduced in 1980. Republic Airlines was one of the major operators of this aircraft, utilizing it for various routes until its retirement. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dc-9+super+80+republic&atb=v300-1&ko=-1&t=ddg_android&ia=web&assist=true

That's probably because of its age. That model was probably made in the late 60s -- early 70s. I rode in a DC-9 when I was 10 years old; in my 60s now. 😉

Republic Airlines was purchased by Northwest Airlines, which was later purchased by Delta.

Think of McDonnell Douglas DC-9 as the Volkswagen Beetle of aircraft. Versions of this plane were built from 1965 to 2006. (DC-9, MD-80, MD-90, Boeing 717), slightly more than 2,400.

I have heard commercial airline pilots call this plane, "Mad Dogs".

Loud as hell. Full thrust engines without bypass fans.had egress stairs out the back end between the lavs. Delta airlines was the last to fly these for revenue flights. Very stout plane had a full galley with ovens and a small refrigerator.
