Gallery Update: MD-83 in the Rain

With all the flight training and studying I've been doing lately, it certainly has been a while since I had any sort of update. Nothing big but an Allegiant Air MD-83 flew into Provo today operating the Phoenix-Mesa route and I got a few photos of it. To top it all off, it was a rainy day today so it made for some more interesting shots. I'm also pretty much set on chasing after every possible Allegiant N-number whenever opportunity arises at this point and today's MD-80 sighting was an airframe I haven't seen before! Here's the link:

Provo (PVU) 16

Allegiant Air McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (N422NV) taxiing to the terminal after arriving from Phoenix-Mesa as AAY132. Airframe initially started it's life as an MD-81 and originally delivered to Scandinavian Airlines-SAS. In 2006 the airframe was converted to MD-82 standards and flew for SAS until 2009. Allegiant Air acquired the airframe in mid-2010 and converted it into MD-83 standards in early-2012. I always appreciate the sight of a 'Mad Dog;' I'm hoping to share the Provo pattern with one at some point in my flight training!
