I love the DC10, I just hate the fact our friend Rhonda Sue was on 191 in May 1979. It's a great, great plane but tends not to function right when they USE FORKLIFTS instead of SLINGS when doing maint. procedures >:-( And that was absolutely against MD procedures. CoreyLynxx you're right it's an awesome plane. And to Captain Lux -- people still miss you.

It's a shame these beautiful airships got such a bad rep. Mostly due to poor maintenance. The AA DC-10's were brilliant with their polished silver. Like bullets in the sky. The way those engines scream. =)

Awesome....I remembered when A'A used the DC10 between Kingston and JFK back in the day.

My last vacation to Hawaii was back in '99 or '00 and there was a water park out in the water near the end of the reef runway on the Honolulu side.

That was probably on of the most memorable days of my life. AA, Hawaiian, Continental, Northwest, JAL DC-10's, Delta and ATA L1011's and all the asian carrier 747's......absolute heaven with them flying closely overhead on their takeoff.

I miss all the tri-jets.

[panamcunard]

Most of my child hood flights was on AA DC10s. LAX-DFW, DFW-LAX and LAX-ORD.

this video is back from when SJC was a American Airlines hub

[nkdintx]

They flew the DC10-30 on the AUK-SYD routes. The flights originated at DFW with stops in HNL.

An AA DC-10 Would fly over my house in the early 90's to dallas every morning @10:45 the airport was only 12 miles away the sound was awesome !

[trancebeliever]

[juanb212]

[mrblujet]

Acutally, their DC-10s' were used for medium and trans-con routes. Their usual pairings were cities like Los Angeles-Chicago or Dallas-New York and San Francisco - New York.

[Manu2455]
