HISTORY ASPECTS:
The McDonnell Douglas MD-90, registration N905RA, was one of the key aircraft in the fleet of Reno Air, a low-cost carrier based out of Reno, Nevada. Reno Air operated from 1992 until its merger with American Airlines in 1999, offering affordable services between the western United States and popular destinations such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Seattle. N905RA, as part of the MD-90 fleet, was critical in allowing Reno Air to compete in the growing low-cost market. The MD-90's advanced features, such as its quieter and more fuel-efficient engines compared to earlier models, helped the airline stay competitive during a time of rapid growth in the industry.
The MD-90 itself was a mid-sized, narrow-body jet introduced by McDonnell Douglas as an upgrade from the MD-80. Featuring more powerful International Aero Engines V2500 turbofans, the MD-90 was a quieter, more environmentally friendly option for airlines looking to reduce operating costs. N905RA flew many high-frequency routes for Reno Air, capitalizing on the jet’s improved fuel efficiency and range. The aircraft provided passengers with an enhanced flying experience, offering a quiet cabin and more spacious seating configurations.
After Reno Air's merger with American Airlines, N905RA transitioned into American’s fleet, briefly serving before being phased out as American began modernizing its aircraft lineup. While the MD-90 was a well-regarded aircraft, it was eventually overshadowed by newer, more advanced models from Boeing and Airbus. However, during its time with Reno Air, N905RA represented the ambition of a small but bold airline trying to carve out its place in the competitive world of U.S. aviation.
This 1:200 scale model, registration N905RA, is a beautifully crafted tribute to the airline’s legacy and the important role this aircraft played in the carrier’s history. With accurate detailing and a nostalgic appeal, it’s a must-have for collectors and aviation enthusiasts who appreciate the story of Reno Air and its fleet.
