As the first two examples (American Airlines Flight 96 and Turkish Airlines Flight 981) directly relate to the cargo door design problem mentioned above, and describe subsequent modifications, I believe they should be left in. The rest could perhaps be moved to a dedicated page, as is the case for the Antonov An-12 -- NthDegOp ( talk) 17:54, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
One incident which could be mentioned is the CP Air DC-10 V1 engine failure at CYVR in the early 1980s. It's memorable because real-life V1 engine failure data is so rare, yet so important for certification and pilot training. Henrilebec ( talk) 22:40, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
The image I still retain in my mind of this aircraft is that of 4 twin engines attached to the body at the back behind wings .I always loved watching it fly over my primary school in the 1960s (70kms) north of Nairobi). What I see in your photo as dc10 is a 3 engine one of the 1970. Feel abit disappointed . 41.81.171.53 ( talk) 13:51, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
For the move request see Talk:DC10 (disambiguation)#Requested move 6 May 2022. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 09:38, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
I've seen vandalism of the DC-10's page in which it refered to the Douglas Commercial DC-10 as the Death Contraption. Please, do not place the planes nickname on the page, as it is opinionated. Forevernewyes ( talk) 23:12, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey, its me! The guy that made the bolivian 707 crash article and I love NWA DC-10s. They are my favorite plane, and besides the Nagato-class battleship they are my favorite vehicle. I was looking thru photos on Commons and I found this picture of a DC-10-30 (below). I like the Continental Airlines one but this one in my opinion is a better picture. What do you think? In my opinion there are pros and cons to this particular image.
Pros: Good view of most major areas of the aircraft, better view of wings, slightly better quality.
Cons: Like current pic, the tail engine is partially obstructed, and there is a shadow on the bottom making it harder to see the gear, even though the view is better. Also, there is another, mediocre picture of another NWA DC-10 on this page, being a -40 variant.
