| nduduzo, 0745327859, 11.01.2013 I'm fascinatet by aircrafts the dc 10 has its place in my heart I like it | | Dale Myers, baldpilot=msn.com, 26.10.2011 I flew the 10 out hnl for Northwest Loved it. | | Mike Miller, mjmiller7108=comcast.net, 25.06.2011 Flew the KC-10 1985 to 1987 for the USAF Reserves. What a great airplane and a great mission! | | Ed Madigan, madigan21=hotmail.com, 05.05.2011 Flew the DC-10 for Western Airlines. Great Flight Management system. Turn off the auto pilot and it was a very stable machine to fly. My favorite airliner to fly. | | Richrd Franchi, rfranchi=comcast.net, 05.05.2011 Correction....flew the 10 fron 1976 to 1996...Richard | | Richard Franchi, rfranchi=comcast, 05.05.2011 Flew the 10 from 1996 to 1995. With it through good and bad. After getting to know her real well.....frm DC-6 to the 10........the 10 made life a lot more fun. | | Bryan, Bryan141c=yahoo.com, 27.02.2011 Sweetest Plane I ever flew, way ahead of It's time | | Steve, steve.groth42=gmail.com, 19.02.2011 don't forget the P&W powered DC10-40 flown by Northwest and JAL | | Russ Adams, dyspoz=cox.net, 13.12.2010 Don't be scared JD. I did alot of work on this bird, and it was a nice solid airplane. The #2 engine was a little tough in a line operation but in a properly equipped hangar with a good crew everything went fine. Actually it really beats any Airbus for structure simplicity and logic. | | JD, JDELTA01=COMCAST.NET, 24.04.2010 THIS WAS THE SCARIEST PLANE I WAS EVER ON. AFTER 25 MAY 1979. | | Bill, wmoo9=aol.com, 03.02.2010 I agree with Seth! How can you have a cruise speed that is 50 mph higher than max speed? 32,700 seems quite low as I have flown DC-10's up to 42,000. | | Seth, fly_boy_seth=yahoo.com, 08.10.2008 Yes, I have a comment. Your data is wrong. There are 4 different models of DC-10. The KC-10A Extender is a DC-10-30CF and its unrefueled range is 10,000nm, not 3666. There are other inaccuracies (max weight, ceiling, cruise speed, etc.), but I don't have enough time to correct them. |
