  • The DC-10 may have had a bad accident history but statistical facts still remain - your more likely to die in a car accident than you are in the air. Plus I believe Biman are gradually phasing out dc-10 and a310 fleets for the T73ER and Dreamliner.

  • Those were the halcyon days of airliners.

  • @boogalooshrimpable It's just for show

  • @The747Captain That is also a nice plane. AIRBUS SUCKS

  • The DC-10 is an iconic king with amazing durability. With its inspired geometry, it sets itself apart from the sea of increasingly monotonous looking modern airliners. There is nothing like its banjo tail and its huge cockpit windows. The Biman livery and black nose cone are so old school that they are actually hip. I literally gave this aircraft and its crew 3 salutes when I saw it parked at a gate in Hong Kong in 2005.

  • regarding statistics, the dc-10 is one of the most dangerous and unsafe planes in the world

  • what is that third engine for? is it really necessary?

  • @thedonscork So if having a single jackscrew is your only reason for disliking the DC-9 series, and by association McDonnell Douglas, than your argument is pretty weak.

  • @thedonscork Had ASA performed proper maintenance, then that jackscrew would never have failed. It's not so much design error as it is user error that caused the jackscrew to fail. The engineers behind the DC-9 series NEVER imagined ANY airline would EVER defer maintenance the way ASA did.

    And IIRC, the Bombardier CRJ series, Embraer ERJ series, Avro RJ-85, Boeing 727, VC-10, Hawker Siddely Trident, Ilyushin Il-62, and Tupolev Tu-154 all have t-tails and a single jackscrew.

  • My favorite airliner of all-time. Love the shape, the look, the sounds.... oh what unique sounds those engines make!
