The last DC-10 in Europe! - Retirement flight before scrapping

Footage of the last flight, of the last civilian McDonnell Douglas DC-10 in Europe!

Takeoff from Liege (Belgium) to Bangor (Maine, USA) and then on to Bob Sikes in Florida, where she ended her days; being 34 years old.

This plane is often mistaken by its successor, the MD-11, which has also become a rare plane in the skies today. FedEx still has a bunch of DC-10s, but they only fly in the Americas.

After push-back, they had engine problems and after 25 minutes of trying to restart the engines, they had to return to the parking stand. This gave us an opportunity to drive to the other side of the airport to capture the takeoff when they had finally solved the problems.

Seen here in colors of its former airline "Avient" with registration N495DC (former Z-ALT).

This DC-10 with serial number c/n 47818, has been serving many airlines back in the days:
-1979-80 Singapore Airlines
-1980-92 Varig
-1992 World Airways
-1992-93 Garuda Indonesia
-1993-96 Biman Bangladesh Airlines
-1996-98 McDonnell Douglas Finance Corporation (MDFC)
-1998-2000 Caledonian Airways
-2000-02 JMC Airlines
----Converted to freighter----
-2002-07 DAS Air Cargo
-2007-13 Avient Aviation
-2013 Southern Aircraft Consultancy
