Thanks for the info Prof2MDA, I didn't know the MD-10 program was so far advanced, is the testing being done at Long Beach? Do you know how many aircraft are going to be re-configured and is it just for FedEx?
I would guess Boeing will be looking anxiously at whether the MD-10 gets the go-ahead for dual rating with the MD11, because they're now planning the same thing with the planned 747 Classics glass cockpit upgrade.
One more thing does anyone know if the MD-10 will be minus the F/E?
