The DC-10 had its flaws, but it still looks futuristic even today.

It's wild how L Ron Hubbard and the Dianetics people seemed like the most dangerous cult of insane stupids we could imagine back in the day, and now here we are, they've taken over everything

Such simple times

I'll never forgive the DC-10 for murdering the Concorde.

Those lights are neat.

It would be foolish to blame the Charles de Gaulle disaster for the entire demise of the Concorde, it was just one nail of many in the coffin of a project born from sheer pride and against better economic judgment in the first place.

I believe the only MD-80s in passenger service in the US are run by RED Air, the Dominican airline that runs shuttle service back and forth to Miami.
They had a minor crash a few years back, but I'd ride on one if I had the chance.
