American Airlines destroyed Douglas aircraft corp.
Used up the entire runway. Awesome video. Miss that bird.
I miss The Cleveland/ Chicago flights on my fav old plane
Well would you look at that the beautiful DC-10 in Hawaii in 1997-what a year
All though the DC-10 was the most crash prominent plane there ever was i think, I still would give almost anything to fly on one of these, as i never had the oppertunity…
dang. and I only flew on the 757 to Maui from LAX in March of ’98 and back to SFO on a 757. Would’ve liked to fly on this, but a 757 still owns.
I have a magazine from 1976 soon after the announcement that the McDonnell and Douglas corporations were discussing the merger that would later create the McDonnell Douglas corporation. Man, aviation history never gets boring.
i was on this same flight, i think it was a week earlier though, same time of year and date i went, i just dont remeber it as clear as that, although i dont really ememebr the whole trip anyways, love the dc10
I believe it was due bad, terrible crash in chicago in somewhere in 1979 at O’hare airport.. And had bad crash record on this…… Than Lockheed L-1011.
smooth landing hope you enjoyed your flight
never been in a dc-10 or 3 engined plane can you tell me how it is like
Just like a normal plane, but more faster than a 2-engine plane!!!
awesome aircraft! Plenty of thrust! Larger plane – much! 400,000 lbs take off weight. It is like a big old Cadillac. It feels safer than today’s twin engine carbon fiber planes. It’s all about fuel consumption versus your safety!
the DC-0 is so old school
now you would be on a 767 or 777 to Hawaii
Is that plane in United’s early 80s colors, early 90s colors, old colors, or “Friendship Colors?”
great video thanks….lotsa great memories from that island
Continental uses a 737-900ER on its LAX-HNL flights, and in 2010, they’ll be using a 737-800 on the LAX-Kahului routes
It was especially prone to crashing in the 70s due to design issues
The L-1011 had a better safety record than the DC-10, even though a Delta L-1011 crashed near DFW, but it was due to weather
Yes, Its 80′s to 90′s and until at nearly middle of 95′s then all color change.
Those is friendship color, and known as “rainbow” color.
I like those colors, and wish they still have them.
Me too. So beauiful enough to not get rid of the 70′s to 90′s color.
They should keep it. I like it.
I agree! Kick those CEO!
Those are ignore what civilzation are try to tell that they like it.
They were awesome when they were around!
