  • San Francisco, CA KSFO/SFO - A Minneapolis bound DC-10-40 idles to Runway 1R at SFO for a late PM departure on November 21st, 1999. As this jet patiently awaits it's turn to depart, a Northwest 747-200 idles to the 28 taxiway and a Cargolux 747-400F arriving on the 28s and catching some "air" on an updraft and note the wings rocking a bit as the 744F Captain holds it just right for landing. After the 747F clears, the Northwest DC-10-40 is cleared for take-off and rolls down Runway 1R and lifts into the clear air of San Francisco Bay. Filmed from the old Millbrae Ave Air-park at SFO.

    Delivered to Northwest on 12-12-73, retired 10-73.
    Spent entire service time with Northwest!
    Northwest was a launch customer for 747 400.
    Great airline, even after merging with the Ducks.

    Northwest had some of the nicest liverie with the red stripe on top. Always enjoyed seeing the DC-10 at the airport in Frankfurt, Germany where it was surrounded at Terminal 2 by much newer jets.

    Trivia. Anybody know why the DC-10-30 and -40 has the ability to lock the center gear in the UP position?
    ANS: LaGuardia
    The DC-10-10 is a short range model with no center gear. If a US domestic carrier wanted to take a DC-10-30 or -40 into LaGuardia they kept the center gear retracted because of footprint weight restrictions on the crowned runway with pilings.

      Chase Messer , the 40 is the 30 with Pratt & Whitney engines instead of General Electric.

    • @carstenbischof3595
      @carstenbischof3595 4 роки тому +1

      Yes. PW JT 9 instead CF 6. Northwest and Japan Airlines used B747 with this PW Engines. For reducing Maintance Cost and Parts, they ordered the DC 10 only with this Engines. Mc Donnell Douglas build this -40 Version only and exclusiv for this both Airlines.

    • @747heavyboeing3
      @747heavyboeing3 Рік тому

      That is correct.
      Japan Airlines often kept center boggie retracted when not needed to save wear. They also ordered-40 series DC 10s like NW did.

    what was a 10-40 variant of this fleet type?

    • @gregoryarnold1234
      @gregoryarnold1234 4 роки тому +3

      NWA ordered the DC-10 and Douglas was going to number it a -20 with Pratt engines. UAL ordered the -30 with GE engines. CEO Nyrop demanded that NWA get a number that looked newer than United's so the -20 became the -40. The -40 #2 engine cowl has a front bulge compared to the -10 and -30 because of the bigger Pratt fan. NWA later also had a lot of -30's. They were used and mostly late deliveries and in great shape. I flew FO and Captain on them for years.

      And Japan Airlines was the other airline to order the series 40 just like Northwest territories they ordered the 40 because they had the same PRATTS on their 747 s and it would be easier to keep the same engine parts in their warehouse
