McDonnell Douglas MD-90 (N901RA) - KSJC - FBO ACM Aviation "Open House" at San Jose, CA for Reno Airlines first of 5 - brand new MD-90s. The "Orange County Flyer" was on display most of the day ( this should be April 3rd, 1996) as the Inaugural Flight was the Next day with SJC-SNA service departing right on time from Runway 30L the following morning.( I had that video on www.Jetvideos until they went belly up) I went through this jet 4x and was able to get to sit in the cockpit and get video there also) The MD-90 was a fabulous jet for Reno Airlines. I also submitted many photos to the Reno Air coffee table book that were published after American Airlines took RenoAir ending service in August 1999.

Reminds me a lot of Jet America Airlines and their MD-82's from way back when! Have some pics at KLGB from 1980 something that I have to upload somehow. Thanks Tom!

Thanks Cdub__ do you have negatives? I use my cell phone and take pictures of my prints....or I ordered a little 59.00 negative and slide scanner on Amazon...have you looked something like that up? EZ to use but I didn't get a negative cleaner so some photos have dust spots.

Hi Tom! I'll have to try the Cell phone trick. I have a box of negatives in no particular order, so it would take me months to sort them....ugh! Thank You!!

Cdub, if you have negatives, drop them off at a local photo shop and have them put in a CD....easier. Cell phone is for old photos...snap the old photo and edit in PS.
