FedEx To Retire Its Remaining MD-10s By 2023
Global freight business FedEx appears set to retire its remaining Boeing MD-10s by 2023. FedEx currently flies a fleet of 17 MD-10s. But buried in FedEx’s second-quarter report for the 2021 fiscal year is the news FedEx will be phasing the planes out over the next couple of years. (simpleflying.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The trusty (after all the fixes) DC-10. Certified for 3 crewmembers. That was the only way I would fly one. I actually flew one on the last real FEDEX DC-10's to the boneyard in January 2009. Never was a fan of converting to 2-man Heavy Jet. R.I.P.
Thank you for saying outright what I have always suspected about flying the DC-10s, as in not converting them to a 2 man Heavy!! Here in California we operate them in firefighting—- and we desperately need more. My opinion only: the safest bird out there once they got the fixes ironed out.
A friend of mine that occasionally fly them calls them "The Beast".
The DC-10 (National Airlines) was the first Jumbo I flew on MIA to ORL.
The captain put my younger brother of five years up into the #1 intake.
Great memory.

How about a timeshare in Marana, AZ boneyard. Just kidding.
How about buying one of the shells and turning it into a house.
There are already several (already retired) out on the California high-desert. Make a bid.
