The 717 is being built in Long Beach - it was the last derivative from the DC-9 line (it actually was called the MD-95 until Boeing took over the line). It was recently canceled and they are finishing up the remaining orders as we speak. This was one little hotrod of an airplane.

Considering how many DC-9s and MD-80s were built and are still still being used, why couldn't Boeing get any interest in getting more orders for the 717?
