Nov 22, 2009 - Regardless of the DC-10's history, it will always be my favorite airliner/cargo aircraft. The sound of the engines is practically trademarked by the DC and it is a remarkable sound at that!Long live the tri-jets!

Nov 18, 2009 - if the aircraft was that bad they wouldnt have been in passenger service for 3 decades

Nov 14, 2009 - the reason behind that is it allows a common type rating between companys that operate both the DC-10 and MD-11 such as FedEx

3Hummer Says:

Nov 14, 2009 - the MD-11 was the predessor to the DC-10. Main differences include the increased fuselage length. Also the MD-11 featured a full 'Glass cockpit' a largely enhanced and more modern cocpit compared to the DC-10. It also does not have a flight engineer making the MD-11 only a 2 person flight deck. There are also other differences such as winglets, changes to the horizontal stablizer etc. There is also an MD-10 which is a DC-10 with a retrofitted glass cockpit.......

Nov 12, 2009 - There was only one DC 10 crash related to the cargo door. Paris Turkish Airline. One serious AA DC 10 incident over Windsor Ont. Same issue. Aircraft landed safely in Detroit.

Nov 7, 2009 - What's the difference between a DC 10 and a MD 11?

jarek1283 Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - Elements of the cargo door had an error and the company did know about it but they didn't do anything .That's was this firm doesn't exist any more .Operating was just one of the many reasons .

Nov 3, 2009 - "watch the air crash investigation program"Or read a book about the subject. Cargo doors on DC-10s weren't themselves flawed in any way other than being confusing to operate. The ONE actual crash related to a cargo door, as well as the handful of early close calls were due to the improper operation of the doors by ground handling crews. A subsequent redesign by McDonnell eliminated the likelihood that the doors would be improperly closed. DC-10 cargo doors have operated safely ever since.

jarek1283 Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - Oh yeah ??? watch the air crash investigation program . This plain had an error in cargo doors .Few of DC 10 crashed because of that , killing people .First please read something about DC10 or watch air crash investigation and then make a comments .

Oct 9, 2009 - Although I cant tell what the tail number on this aircraft is, N244NW was one of my friends ;-) I've ridden on it countless times on my trips to Europe.

Oct 8, 2009 - I flew on that bumpy piece of shit to Hawaii.

FrateleBrian Says:

Sep 21, 2009 - It was like flying in a cattle car. Everytime it landed in Amsterdam from Mpls it shook so bad and rained on me from the condensation on the ceiling. I quit flying NWA to Amsterdam until they got rid of those things and went to all A330 aircraft.
