McDonnell-Douglas DC-10/MD-11

Can't believe we don't have a DC-10 thread yet.  Getting the party started:

What can Brown do for you?

[BillOz]

Nice shots guys.

You know what Brown can do for me Dave?  Brown lost a very important box of my stuff, when I moved back to AZ. back in 1990.  Brown can find my damn box.  That's what Brown can do for me.  As a consolation, a ride in their DC-10 would work for now.

[David Loera]

I'll see what I can do.

[Joe Copalman]

They can also find my jacket that I left in Fort Walton Beach, Florida and that a friend sent back via UPS. 

I loved that damned jacket.

Joining your DC-10/MD-11 party.... not sure if you guys get many snow photos here. ;-)


Cold day in Anchorage, Alaska for FedEx.

And a brown shot just to be fair. UPS MD-11F N294UP.

I caught this and wish I had a better lens to get more detail:

Back in what I thought was Alaska but looks and feels very much like England.

What can Brown do for you?

Um, lower the nose about 10 degrees before he stalls?

Ha!  Jay, here's another shot of that same take-off.  This was from 40th street, and you can see how high he already is and the scary AOA.  Thing was a bloody rocketship:

Well, its not like the packages will complain if the lunch from the terminal is on their pants, right.

I've had pretty good luck the last couple of weeks
