It's an interesting aircraft from a weight and CG perspective.
Yep, looking at them from the ground on short final they appear to do a funny bobbing nose up/down thing...probably no different that any other aircraft but noticeable on the DC-9, MD-80 because of the amount of fuse in front of the wings compared to what's behind them.

It must be an optical illusion because inside they ride about the same.

I hate the back row seats in them. Noisy and I cannot help but think of uncontained engine failures.
