JW411,

My last outfit had 4 of those DC-10-15's. Man what a great airplane. It could almost be considered a STOL at lighter weights.

The only bad thing was the lack of range for when we would take it across the pond. If I remember we could only get about 6.5 hrs range out of them at MGTOW of 455,000 lbs

There was only one or two operating in Europe if I remember correctly.

Sadly what remains of Sun Country's -15 fleet can be found at the scrap yards around the US along with the fleet of Super 27's we operated.

Sorry for the thread hi-jack..

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming!
