Aircraft N585AA, 1991 McDonnell Douglas MD-82 (DC-9-82), c/n 53248, Close-up showing the modified tail cone to reduce drag, and thus fuel consumption by approximately 1%. Boeing quoted a price of $270K per tail cone, and AA found that they could construct the same part for $35K. The tail cone was designed & built by AA., at ORF, photo by Dean Heald
