    its such a heartbreak to see biman dc 10 scrapped.. they were the only airlines which allowed passengers to cook onboard. I remebered heating our noodle soups in our portablecamper gast stoves.. the stewardess was so kind to lend us matches..

    The cabin walkthrough at 10:00 is amazing... this is missing from a LOT of aviation documentaries and it really gives a good idea of the scale of the plane and all the parts of the cabin, without pointing the camera down or otherwise interrupting continuity. It's interesting the cabin is just a bit shorter than I expected, then again the cabin length is only about 15 feet longer than a B757-200.

    I remember flying on an American Airlines DC-10 from IAD-LAX back in 1979 or 1980. They had a camera in the cockpit so you could watch a live video of the plane taking off. Plus, you could listen to the pilots, and the flight engineer, on your headset.

    the cool thing about third world countries is you get to see many vintage planes still in operation up until recently (biman has updated their fleet now but 2014 was still very recent). and rather than settle for grainy vintage 70s footage, you get treated to local youtube travellers uploading with 1080p quality from the interior doing a walkaround and even get to film the cockpit. what a privilege! there's a laid-back ness there that just isnt available anymore in the prim and proper by-the-protocol first world countries where you are treated like baggage whose sole purpose is to occupy your seat until the flight is over and then leave. thanks for uploading this important video document to the DC 10's civilian airliner service legacy well into the 2010s!

    That bad boy went out empty. I recognize the FO from another Birman DC-10. I love-hate this plane. Flew an American Airlines DC-10 soon after the 191 crash. Had to due to equipment change. Was a sick sweaty mess on take-off but it turned out to be a smooth comfy ride. Looked at all those switches and controls on this plane Wow. Overall it looked in run down condition, but it has seen a lot of hours I imagine. I enjoyed this, from the terminal to the good luck touch of a boarding passenger going to his Flower Power covered seat. I felt like I was on that plane looking out the window seeing the going ons. HISTORY DOCUMENTED and done so well. Thank you!

    I remember flying on a few DC-10s when I was a kid on Venezuela's flagship airline, Viasa. I think the flights were mainly from Caracas to Miami and back. They always had such great service. I remember visiting the cockpit during flight and staying in there until right before landing. Regulations were different back then. Another time they moved my sister and me into first class since we were children flying alone. It was such a great experience. Such a shame when Iberia bought out Viasa and essentially shut the airline down.

    I remember flying aboard the DC many many times too & from SJU from JFK via American Airlines back, way back in the day. I loved that airplane. I never recall any turbulence, that is until they were retired from service and the A300 (600's) & 767 took over. There was nothing as smooth in the air as this old bird, it was the Cadillac of airplanes.. thirsty yet smooth!

    If I were a multi billionaire I'd start an airline and have DC10s, MD11s, L1011s and many other vintage airliners.
    Imagine seeing an airport today with so many majestic beauties lined up all in top notch airworthy condition still hauling millions of people and their belongings around the globe.

      You would have to charge an arm & leg for tickets, just to pay for fuel and maintenance on these old beauties. The only people flying on them would probably be mostly aviation fan's, because no one would pay double or triple the price of a modern airliner, you would lose all your money very quickly try to keep these dinosaurs flying. Then you would probably take the plane and fly it into the ground after learning you're bankrupt. But trust me I would be one of your first costumer's, i would definitely pay the triple price as long as i can sit in the cockpit for few minutes during the flight and if you let me land it i would pay ten times more because you would never see me or the money because they would have to scrape me of the runway with razors after my landing.
      Damn i love all the wide body tri-jets.

    brings back memories I used to fly Nothwest a lot back when they flew the DC 10 from LA to Minneapolis a lot. I LOVED the dc 10. It was big but not oppressive and COMFORTABLE. I loved the layout. a whle bank of restrooms in the rear and a lot of space around the galleys to just hang out and not be forced to sit down. I loved the comfort of the older airliners.

    Amazing video! (Ha-ha, checking out the lavatory was the most exciting part). Did the plane hit really hard on landing or you were not holding the cam fast enough?

    FMC, some modern instruments.... why not? The DC-10 is a great plane, only a little bit thirsty for the modern time, but it is a great workhorse! Great video!

      Do you have any idea what that instrument is to the left of the airspeed indicator .. I have seen it before on an Iranian 727 ..looks like a mini HSI or somethin.

    • @sabo2706
      @sabo2706 Před 9 lety

      You mean the instrument right of the gearlever? I think it shows the route of the FMC. No other instrument who could visualize the route programmed in the FMC near by. I can see none.

      sabo2706 Yeah, bout the same shape and size as the TCAS instrument, also appears to show terrain as well.. Love one of them for flightsim and my 727 haha :).

    wow that plane had a lot of flights. what's amazing to is they never upgraded the interiors. still the same from first install.
    curious.. mr heritage elevators, what is your line of work? elevators, lots of elevator vids, but you also have a second love for commercial aviation?
    thank you for this video.. really enjoyed it. and, the start of the video, that music was taken from some queen's video of his love for Pan Am and their 747.

      Começou sua existência estalando de novo na Varig, que o vendeu para outra aérea etc..., até terminar seus dias na Bangladesh. Quando botei meus pés num desses em dezembro de 1975 na linha Rio-Paris-Frankfurt, estava um brinco de limpo! Pelo menos morreu de "morte morrida", ou seja, até o limite de suas possibilidades operacionais. Ao contrário de alguns Electra II que da nossa Ponte Aérea foram parar no Zaire e não duraram nem 6 meses, por pura negligência.

      Robert Chutney Hunny these vintage birds will be still flying and reliable long after these modern​ unflyable computerised planes, where real flying talent is not required all pilots do now is push buttons, they don't fly a plan anymore and that is very very very scary.

    I flew via Biman in 83-84 from Heathrow to Dhaka. Great flight. Picked up passengers at Munchen and Rome and got another Tandori chicken meal each time. Flight attendants put on a great safety demonstration show. Arrivals terminal area had lightweight moveable seats for about 25 people to sit and wait.

    We use brillo pads on the glass. Cracks in a window that is pressurized is really dangerous, These people must be brave or ignorant. But hey that is just me, keep them flying and your videos are like going back in time, glad that there these planes flying somewhere in the world.

    Summer of 69 (from min.2:21 on.) Probably that's the year this DC10 was built😅. But I really love both the song and the plane

    Wow that never happens to me, thanks for the video. Was that an aircraft boneyard off to the right of the taxiway? There were a bunch of DC-9s, DC-10s and a few 747s, that did not look as if they were parked temporally.
