TROUBLED TRIJET - Douglas DC-10

Today, we know or heard of the MD-11. Before it was the DC-10, which gained quite a bit of infamy due to its turbulent start. The airliner had a feature rare for its time, a third engine on its back, a method to bypass the 60-minute rule, a safety measure often reserved for twin-engine aircraft. The scenery in this aviation engine art depicts a DC-10 at an airport with flood lights shining bright, and a vibrant sunset behind.
