Amazing video real time machine. My dad was a apilot for United from July of 1969 to April 1, 2002. He flew the DC-10 from 1996-1999 then got surplussed back to the 767 and then retired on the 747-400. My family loved the DC-10. As kids my sister and I would love to walk to the gate and see that marvelous three engine bird. We would always take them from Seattle to Hawaii. My mom was a Flight Attendant at United as well and she said the DC-10 was her favorite airplane to work on. Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane. I hadn't heard the old safety video in decades.
This is such a great and actually historic footage. Nobody ever would get a feel from inside a DC 10. The quality of the video is very good and stable camera position. Thank you for sharing this here.
I was fortunate to fly on an MD11 when I deployed to and from Afghanistan via Kuwait on World Airways. It was by far my favorite flight and my first transatlantic flight that I'd gladly take again. It's the closest I'd ever get to being on a DC10 since I'm too young to have flown anything older
Well you may have a second chance, cuz I was thinking about starting an aerospace company that will (obviously) produce my type of airplane along with some replicas of old classics
That music from the beginning of the UA safety video transported me right back to the 90s. United has such a classy mystique about it back then. Times have changed. And that DC-10-what a magnificent airplane. Miss them dearly.
That old 90s UA safety video takes me back lol. I can't even begin to count the number of times I saw the A319, A320, and 757 variants back in the early 2000s
The old DC-10 had a troubled past, but I loved flying on them. Much like the L1011, the DC-10 was so roomy in economy class that you felt like you were in a small movie theater. The aircraft would creak and moan while it was taxiing, but she flew effortlessly and those three engines could put you solidly back in your seat when the power was advanced.
I’ve been feeling the same. Winglets just keep getting more and more silly and i just wish there were none at all. Some of them are kind of neat. But it pisses me off that they took the beautiful 737 NG with blended winglets that look alright and then glued an aftermarket janky-ass fin to the bottom and call it a “split scimitar” and it looks awful. So you’re telling me that spending $1,000,000 per plane that is halfway through its life to glue a tiny fin to the bottom of the wing is going to save enough fuel to break even and profit... okay then...
My wife and i used to fly this plane from Cleveland to Chicago back into the good old days prior to 9/11. Her brother worked for United and we used buddy passes to fly to Chicago for long weekends, usually first class. Was great fun though a short flight.
God how I miss those days of air travel. Wide seats have plenty of leg room, and very good food!🛫💞💞💞 Although The B-747 was a larger Aircraft, there was something special about The DC-10. Maybe it was the sound of hearing the #2 Engine behind me Spooling Up on Takeoff!! That was Beautiful Music!!
I flew to Hawaii on a UA DC-10 December of 1995. Looks just like this one. As a kid, it felt very modern (and huge) at the time compared to the 727s I had flown on before.
I loved seeing them when I lived in Seattle. The United DC-10... My mom would fly them from Seattle to Denver and back for business. Really beautiful aircraft!
Thank you sooo much for putting this wonderful Video on RUclips 🙏💺✈️🛩 That was a time,a few years later,I flew with that Aircraft,in the past with Northwest Airlines, for the first time to the US from Europe Amsterdam to Seattle. Funny,that Video was made on my 15th Birthday 🙃🤷♂️,so now you can see,I'm 41. The good old times,when I flew it was a few day before the Atracks of 9/11/01. Unfortunatly since that time,Flying has changed radicslly extremly,and even the World unfortunatly. But anyway thank you so much!!! Beloved Greetings from Europe German Swiss Border 🇪🇺🇩🇪🇨🇭 Yours,Josha 🙋♂️🙏🍀🍀🍀🌈
This is awesome thanks for the upload! I was born 9 months later! The old United Livery was really nice I like it a lot better than the current Continental livery. How come now a days the only airline to fly the DC-10 in the US is Fed Ex? 4:20 LOL "When you see the mask please extinguish your cigarette"
What a hearty meal for for a two-hour flight in ECONOMY class @16:40! Many of today's domestic business and first meals are not even close to being that good.
The good old days...................This video was done back when you could still smoke on planes and American air carriers had not quite reached the height of being the shittiest flying option that there was. Oh how this brings back the memories of how good things used to be. Thanks for posting.
I wasn't so sure about your claim to smoke on flights in 1996, but you're correct. Smoking on international flights, and on all domestic flights greater than 6 hours in duration, was finalized in 2000. I remember flying from Florida to Hawaii in 1995, however, partly on a DC-10. I seem to recall smoking was completely prohibited, at least on UA, by 1995.
I was based out of Europe and Asia at the time the non smoking thing was seen as an "American" issue. Now I am sure that by 2000 smoking had gone away on most airlines world wide but how long before that it started I am not sure of. However with that said I have seen flights to places where once an American air carrier lands and is firmly on the ground when you start to notice that some passengers light up.....and I am talking about in the last 2 or 3 years. As the passengers say national laws over ride airline rules so the only thing the carrier can do is to black list these people.
It's interesting to still see ashtrays in lavatories. I understand it's a safety/equipment issue for the passengers that decide to light-up no matter what... you need a safe space to dispose of the butt. Kind of juxtaposed all of the no smoking signs, though.
things are changed such as the route (UA route between seoul and NRT does not exist anymore), but one thing remains the same (nothing could be better than sushi and soba in the sky )
The DC-10 will go down in history as one of the best jetliners to ever fly! It may no longer fly commercially but it was a revolutionary jet that changed long-haul travel to a certain extent forever and ever!
Loved flying the DC-10 first class, she always sat a bit nose high during cruise!!! Great aircraft, My father flew them for Northwest for many years before moving to the 747-400.
I was lucky to fly on this ausome mean machine in 95 . Out of KC Airport. , my favorite plane commercial aircraft , loud engines and a great airplane all around
Imagine sitting there... looking out the window like this, and watching that engine go flying up and over the wing, moments before you died leaving Chicago in 1979.
I was thinking the same thing. 20 seconds in the air after liftoff before starting to roll over. 10 more seconds till you hit ground. Engine falling off right at liftoff.
That is why I'm thankful for videos like these;: someone else took the risk and lived to tell about it. You couldn't have paid me enough to fly in a DC-10. I want to arrive, alive.
@@jocelynharris-fx8ho The fuck are you on? You're saying that as if every DC-10 built crashed on a daily basis. Most of them are legitimately human error. In the 2000s when the DC-10 was still serving commercially, it was very safe to fly on it.
I noticed when announcements are made, at 6:51 and on 40:57 I can hear the high pitched humming sound and often hear it on airplanes either through loud speaker or head sets. That humming sound, What is that and why is that sound is made? If by any chance you know what it is Please let me know and Thank You.
All Righty Thank You, It could be from Avionics, Cockpit or some machine in the plane that causes that sound.. I've heard it many many times before and always wondered what it was. Just finding it interesting.
there is a certain hum you sometimes get based on the frequency of the voltage being used. I was always curious about that too so i asked some airline mechanics. nothing to worry about i can tell you that. electric motors put out radio waves, all i can tell you.
When I was a kid my mom would always take me on vacations and I remember when we would fly on the DC10 and the couch had a lounge in it just like first class
i was on all three aircraft- DC10s, 747s, and L1011s. The 747 was the BIGGEST, but all three were nice to be aboard. Me and my family did live in Honolulu, but when we firsr went there we were on a Douglas DC-6B. Imagine being aboard a piston powered propeller driven plane in the midst of all the jets.
Today all the DC10 planes are now gone completely because the last ever flying for the dc10 was in 2014 with Bangladesh airlines and that was the first time I’ve seen that aircraft
no fuss/no muss, see how quickly that beast got off the ground? and quiet too, camera is right next to one of those huge engines, and you can hardly hear it. i hate flying now, in these miserable pencils they shove us into. and then not even feed us.
haters call this the deathcraft but the truth is the DC-10 was simply the first, true workhorse of civil aviation back in the day, because the 747s were reserved only for the long routes with the big airports and the 727s and DC9s were usually domestic. The L1011 was far less common in number, so the DC10 was the one that made aviation across the world accessible to more than just the rich people hobby that flying used to be in the 50s and 60s with planes like the Super Constellation or even the early DC8s. And so when you suddenly change from narrow body to wide body and start transporting a lot more people, when something bad happens, a lot of people perish at once, and that I suppose was what earned these planes a bad name in the early years but by the 80s and 90s they had become safe.
Do you know when some U.S. airlines used to fly to Seoul-Kimpo back then and it was right before they flew to Seoul-Incheon back in the spring of 2001.
Like How many airlines have operatied this route on 1990s? I already see United, Korean Air, Japan Airlines, Japan Air System, Delta, All Nippon Airways, and Asiana airlines. WoW
Northwest, and possibly only the 2000s, MIAT Mongolia. Today there are tons still such as JAL, ANA, Korean, Asiana, Jeju, Peach, T'Way, Eastar, Ethiopian.

Had the opportunity to fly to California out of Chicago on a DC-10.. Aboard United Airlines... Back in the late 70s. Always thought the DC-10 was a Sexy Plane.

Wow the people are so real and the airplane is old .. love it
What do you mean by people are so real?
What a sight...NO winglets, wing flex..JUST a solid straight wing!!! Love old aviation.
Micah Lall-Trail winglets cause less drag and help the fuel efficiency.
I’ve been feeling the same. Winglets just keep getting more and more silly and i just wish there were none at all. Some of them are kind of neat. But it pisses me off that they took the beautiful 737 NG with blended winglets that look alright and then glued an aftermarket janky-ass fin to the bottom and call it a “split scimitar” and it looks awful.

RumikoOne - Perhaps you are too young to remember, almost 30 years ago MD11 already had that down fin feature on the winglet
The inspiration for winglets came from how birds curved their wings while flying, which helped in conserving energy.

Flying back in the 80s and 90s was something so magical. If I could turn back time for a day just to experience it all over again.
You said a mouthful Wayne!
Trust me, you were born in the wrong generation.
This is still the best UA livery
Big ol’ red Northwest 747 there @3:10-30
Man if only we’d get that same quality food in economy today!
Had the opportunity to fly to California out of Chicago on a DC-10.. Aboard United Airlines... Back in the late 70s. Always thought the DC-10 was a Sexy Plane.
Airplanes sexy? Are ya nuts or somethin?

My grandparents flew on a Boeing 727 once, My parents flew on a MD11 of Finnair, I will never Fly on a Trijet as I have never left North America, however I have flown on US Airways and Continental (1 month before certificates merged.), next year is a sad year for us in Canada, 20 years since SWR111.
What an extraordinarliy meaningless comment.

16:19 The airfones on Flight 93 would have looked exactly the same as that

Planes today are not that iconic compared to planes then. Love the engine sound of the dc 10.
