HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Midwest Airlines Boeing 717, registration N920ME, represents a memorable chapter in U.S. domestic aviation, especially for passengers who appreciated comfort and service. Midwest Airlines, originally founded as Midwest Express in 1984, earned a strong reputation for its premium, two-by-two leather seating and signature in-flight baked chocolate chip cookies. The 717, a derivative of the DC-9 family and developed by McDonnell Douglas (later Boeing), fit well with Midwest’s mission of offering high-quality service on short to medium-haul routes.
N920ME was one of several Boeing 717s that joined the Midwest fleet in the early 2000s as the airline transitioned from its older DC-9s. With its quiet, fuel-efficient Rolls-Royce BR715 engines and modern cockpit systems, the 717 allowed Midwest to continue operating from its Milwaukee hub while maintaining its high passenger service standards. Routes typically included Midwest strongholds like Kansas City, Omaha, and destinations on the East Coast. The aircraft offered both reliability and economy, crucial for Midwest as it sought to compete with legacy carriers and growing low-cost rivals.
Despite the airline's strong brand loyalty, financial difficulties in the mid-2000s led to a series of mergers and operational changes. By 2010, the Midwest name had disappeared entirely as it was absorbed into Frontier Airlines. However, the legacy of aircraft like N920ME lives on in the memories of frequent flyers who fondly remember the airline’s refined onboard experience and distinctive livery.
This 1:400 scale model captures the iconic blue and gold color scheme with precision and charm. A must-have for collectors and aviation enthusiasts, it pays tribute to a beloved airline that once set the standard for domestic comfort and service in the United States.
