Right. That picture is of the center engine air intake of an older 727-100. Probably around 40 years old.

Bingo. Clearly from both pictures an old 727. Were it a DC-10, there would be a larger ratio between cabin width and the engine intake, and the DC-10 has very large cockpit windows, whereas those on the crashed jet are smaller by comparison.

Wasn't the intake on a -100 oblong?
