Actually this would make a great commercial for MDC...if it was still around. I worked with a great group of engineers there before Boeing gobbled it up and I know they would be proud that their designs are holding up so well.

Yup, nothing like flying in turbulent weather and sitting on the wing rows and watching the wings bend and the overhead trays sway as the cabin bounces along ,, DC10 or L1011 or 747, and not spilling a drop.

Good Job to you and the design crew. ;-]

My dad was a tech-rep for the Douglas DC-10, and was particularly proud of that plane. He lived in Yugoslavia when DC-10s were being purchased by JAT.

The method of payment in the early 70s? Canned pork!
