MD (mainly) persisted with high mounted engine designs. The MD-80 family I flew on several times (US Domestic) and of course the MD-95 became the B717, so in Australia what was Impulse (folded into QantasLink, both brands sponsoring the Knights at one stage). Very noisy in the back third of the cabin. I’m not surprised we don’t see many high mounted engine designs today - even with quieter engine tech - they’re just too noisy. Maybe future all electric aircraft will change that in the short haul market.

The whole reason i want to go to tassie is to fly the 717 and sit up the back lol

Take a nice set of noise cancelling headphones. With some death metal playing. On an EQ setting that boosts the music volume. Then you might be able to hear something else other than the engine .

Love that. I’ve both driven under landing craft and landed almost touching the freeway several times. Mostly narrow body ops due to runway length but the field can take widebodies and when a B777 or similar comes in it’s a great spot.
