DC-10-30 Northwest

The DC-10 is a three-engine widebody jet airliner manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. The DC-10 has range for medium- to long-haul flights, capable of carrying a maximum 380 passengers. The model was a successor to McDonnell Douglas's DC-8 for long-range operations, and competed in the same markets as the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar, which has a similar layout to the DC-10. Production of the DC-10 ended in 1989 with 386 delivered to airlines and 60 to the U.S. Air Force as air-to-air refueling tankers, designated the KC-10 Extender. The largest operator of the DC-10 is U.S. cargo airline FedEx Express. This specific DC-10 is the DC-10-30, which is a long-range model and the most common model produced. This specific model is painted in the Northwest Airlines paint scheme. Northwest Airlines, NWA, was a major United States airline founded in 1926 and absorbed into Delta Air Lines in October 2008.
