This is my first attempt to upload pics, so fingers crossed. As always the light wasn't favourable for photography. It's great to see a DC-10 back in Sydney. Does anyone know the ownership details of this aircraft (i.e. airlines that it has flown for)? Also what are the current stats for DC-10s still flying for commercial airlines? Thanks

This aircraft started out its life with Lufthansa as D-ADHO in 1975 before beeing sold to Sabena in 1994. It later joined Continental Airlines as N49082 in 1996 before joining Omni Air International in 2003
