  • Pullisto, what nationality are if you dont mind me asking.

    iam also a fan of this beutifull aircraft.

  • Sorry I didnt see this message till now. I'm from New Zealand. We used to fly them, and as a kid i flew on one of them, they looked great in the Air NZ livery of the time.

  • I haven't flown a DC-10 in forever. Amazing aircraft.

  • Yeh, such a nicely proportioned looking machine, and robust, capable as well. I specially flew Biman to enjoy a DC-10 again, a class act. Not many jet airliners last this long and still are hard at work carring pax, after tens of millions of kms flying. This particular one (rego S2-ACP, City of Shah Makdom) first flew in September 1978.  Douglas/McDonnell Douglas aircraft always seemed to excel in the aesthectics department, be it a DC-3, 8 or 10...and prove exceedingly durable.

  • DC10s dont climb very quickly do they?

  • Probably because it was right at maximum weight incl fuel - Bangladeshis don't travel light! Never seen so much heavy luggage. But many of them were probably going as migrant workers to England, the final destination. I doubt an airbus would have gotten off the ground at all with that payload...

  • @FrisoLustig Yep! That Pullisto guy was running his mouth. :D

  • @scaremengaviation: it consumes loads and loads less fuel for the same distance (hence the smaller fuel tank), I think it has even more cargo capacity compared to the DC-10. Currently, even though the plane is around 15 years old, the A330-300 is one of the most popular current wide bodied aircraft flying around (along with the A330-200 and B777-300)

  • @Pullisto The A330-300 can takeoff with a weight identical to that of a DC-10-40, and travel about 200nm further, and with one less engine. Really? Wouldn't be able to get off the ground?

  • depends on what engine they are using.

  • Quietest DC10 I've ever heard.
