Access Door
The DC-10 does have an avionics access door at the forward bulkhead of the nose wheel well. It can be opened from outside as well as inside. It opens up just behind the main radio rack and would offer a cozy and warm journey. Depending upon the airline, the in-flight service may be equally as good! From in there, one could reach the cables and chains that control the stabilizer, or pop up into the flight deck. Scary...
