  • Where I live We have Air Tran 717's comming into Columbus Ohio everyday. It looks like a DC-9 from a distance but truly a quieter plane than a DC9.

  • @wdwron08 I love the whine and roar from jet engines, but I know how different the flight experience can be inside the plane.

  • Never been on a 717. Can someone tell me how comfy and noisy and such it is? Great aircraft from the exterior though!

  • I haven't flown on the 717 yet, but it seems to rate high for people who have, judging from comments I've seen here and with similar 717 videos posted.

  • @vfr802 I'm 6'3" and can tell you airtran economy class on the 717 was about as uncomfortable as it gets.. I like just a tad bit more leg room

  • @NA734 it is great

  • NA734-- I've flown on a few 717s. They're configured like an old DC-9 inside (2seater/aisle/3seater) but they're quieter. I think the engines are higher-bypass turbofan engines (Rolls-Royce, I believe). The old DC-9s (before Boeing bought MD and began producing the DC9 as a B717) were much louder -- had much older Pratt & Whitney jet engines. P&Ws engines are nice and quiet now too, but back in the era of the classic DC9, they were pretty loud.
