My first time at Václav Havel Airport Prague and it did not disappoint with regards to planespotting interesting European carriers, like this Bulgarian MD-82.  Founded in 2000 with five Tupolev Tu-154s, this charter airline retired those aircraft in 2004 and replaced them with McDonnell Douglas MD-82.  This is one of nine in the fleet. Douglas Aircraft developed the DC-9 in the 1960s as a short-range companion to their larger DC-8.  The DC-9 family was produced in 2441 units: 976 DC-9s, 1191 MD-80s, 116 MD-90s and 155 Boeing 717s.  Fuji X-E2s w/18-135mm.
