Back in 1977 I rode a DC-10 for the first time. It was on a flight from JFK to London on a carrier named Overseas National Airways, or ONA, now long defunct. This particular plane was all but brand new. I happened to be sitting in seat that was line of sight right along the leading edge of the left wing. Upon climbout from JFK the crew was required to perform a very sharp climbing turn as a 'noise abatement' maneuver. The maneuver was so sharp that it caused a huge upward curve to the very stout wing, even causing the still extended leading edge slats to curve with it.
Two years later there was that infamous accident in Chicago where the left engine detached and rolled over the top of the wing causing the plane to crash. Of course the cause had nothing to do with the strength of the plane, but turned out to be an improper method of detaching the engine for maintenance. After that accident I remembered that maneuver on the ONA flight and wondered how much strain, even under normal circumstances, the engine mount was under at that moment.
Those were awesome looking jetliners ❤️❤️❤️
That they are! I'm glad I've finally encountered someone who knows that those are jet-powered airliners! Pretty much everyone else nowadays thinks that wide-bodies are driven by internal propellers similar to the external propellers like the ones on smaller planes.
Always had a soft spot for the DC-10. Such a good looking airplane. As an Aussie it was rare to travel in one as Qantas never operated it. Ironically while on a trip to the US in 1989 we arrived to the airport for our LAX to HNL leg and learned that Qantas pilots were on strike over some pay dispute back home. We were then put onto a United flight which was a DC-10.
Important Documentation of a bygone Era of TriJets.....
5:14 - Similar plane involved in Swissair Flight 111 (1998)
The -40. The rarest Douglas in the world
I really miss the tri-jets. I think they were WAY ahead of there time in terms of appearance. And are still very viable in today's commercial aviation market. If they had just revamped them with bigger engines and more modern interiors. Especially, the MD-11's. The can easily compete with 787 and A330 in terms of size.
Had the DVD of that,the up close shots,are excellent,and the detail is great! My dad flew for PanAm,and Oyster Bay branch ran right in back of my home! So I Aviation on the front door,and railroads out the back! Plus construction equipment all around,so an interesting childhood!! Thanks for your always excellent work!! Thanks 😊!
I was thinking to myself “ no way in hell can this be current”. And I checked the intro and yes more than 20 years ago. The DC10 only having one major accident in around 1979. A technician snapped a motor mount and didn’t tell anyone. It crashed trying to take off. The engine literally dropped of and the miss balance crashed it.
Shot in 2000 and early 2001. After September 11 too much harassment shooting planes so I gave up. I flew to the UK from Phoenix in a DC10 right after that crash. Window seat overlooking the wing!
Thats almost right but not quite!
Yup….the American Airlines flight out of Chicago O’ Hare.
@@alcarr5893mostly human error. Well technically they’re all human error since mechanical failure is caused by human error, but anyway.
1 major accident? what about the United crash in sioux? Turkish in paris?
The DC 10 sounds like a military jet with the turbine whine
Amazing stuff!!
If there was a commercial airplane racing. The trijet would be the most ideal setup
Unas grandes y hermosas maquinas.con casi 50 años siguen volando.espectaculares.
Wow the Hawaiian Air dc-10 too!
Other subscribers great video 📹 mate big like from 🇩🇴
This had to be somewhere or sometime in the 90’s era.
2000 and early 2001.
@@petercrook4626 Peter the BA Landor Livery was replaced by the Utopia livery 1996 - 2000-ish. The SEA footage would be before 1998 (my guess).
@@johannesbols57 Johannes, I shot at Sea-Tac in 2000
I miss the majestic tri-jets. While I prefer the L1011 to the DC-10/MD-11, aside from the 777, the current generation of twin jet wide bodies is just not as awesome to watch in action as those big, imposing tri-jets.
I agree 100% - I also miss the B747's. BA in the uk no longer have the 747's. They got rid of the DC-10's many years ago which was a real pity. I prefer jets to be awesome rather than luxury. I guess that's just me..
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I miss those trijets😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢🥺😩😫 I am I am calming down💀I am dead
Great videos,any L-1011 videos?
It's so sad that these beauties are gone, it's also sad that most regional turboprops like the original Dash 8 series at 8:53.
Wasn't that the AA DC-10 incident following 🛫 Takeoff from ORD? As I recall didn't the engine drop into a Trailer Park 🏞️ near the Airport?
Memorial Day 1979. Chicago. Got stuck in San Juan as all the DC-10’s were grounded.
Pesawat yang melegenda, selain B747..
16:55 - Horn - on one of the planes? lol
Hermosos pájaros jigantes
Beautiful butter landings 🧈 ✈️ I wish Boeing could bring back those beautiful tri jets 😢
They're too dangerous. All the trijets that existed had had a fatal crash of some sort.
They won’t be back, it’s all about money…🫤
@@SJSproductionsnumber 1. poor maintenance. number 2. cargo. number 3. pilot error.
that doesn’t mean it kills people. idiot
@SJSproductions All plane types of that era had fatal crashes, e.g 747, a300 etc
Boeing???
What else was taking off at 8:00? Sounds like a fighter jet.
F-18's.
Finding a DC-10-40F is pretty much impossible to find
Very rare because only domestic flights
On some of the shots, you cut away before we saw the lift-off. That is the best part! Don't cut away until the plane is airborne.
Flew on Hawaiian on the DC10 in the late 90s, and Alitalia MD11 and Continental and And Skyservice to Honolulu on a charter flight
Blz😊
Marvelous airplane. I hated to see them go away. =PC=
DC-10 - самый красивый самолёт в мире! Мой любимый!
I'm so upset that trijets aren't used anymore... all just because of stupid fuel costs-
Loss of hyd hydraulic
C'est mieux ces dc10
Mieux que 320 321
