Remarks: A cold and dreary day in Minneapolis, this is about as good as the spotting got all day: about 15 degrees out with overcast clouds and light snow.
Remarks: This MD-90 shows off her raw power on a 5,700 foot runway. Two IAE V2500 engines produce a total of 56,000 pounds of thrust to rocket this aircraft skyward. Also note the atmospheric effect under the left wing which distorts the American titles in the background. It looks like the air was cut with a knife.
