The McDonnell Douglas MD-80 is, arguably, one of the most iconic looking airliners out there. With almost 1200 built between 1979 and 1999, it was one of the most popular airliners ever produced by McDonnell Douglas.
Sadly though, they are being retired quite quickly around the world in recent years, especially with American and Delta retiring theirs in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
However, in summer 2023, there was one last remaining operator of the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 in the European Union - Bulgarian charter airline European Air Charter!

![Air Inuit 737-200 GRAVEL RUNWAY OPERATIONS in Northern Quebec! [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B3YHzCauIwo/mqdefault.jpg "Air Inuit 737-200 GRAVEL RUNWAY OPERATIONS in Northern Quebec! [4K]
The northern village of Puvirnituq is one of the largest settlements in Quebecs Nunavik region, and sits just above the 60th parallel.
Its home to an airport with a 6,000+ foot runway, making it one of the few airports in the region able to accommodate a 737. That runway though is made of gravel, and so only the 737-200s with a gravel kit can actually use it.
With direct scheduled flights to Montreal, that makes Puvirnituq one of the more relatively accessible places to see a 737-200 in its element.
I found myself there back in April on my way home from Kuujjuaq, and managed to capture one of Air Inuits 737-200s operating an all-cargo flight to and from Montreal. Enjoy this gravel runway action!
