Great article Damo, thanks for posting....I think history has not been kind to the poor old DC-10, she was a much better aircraft than she was given credit for being. Yeah she had a few prangs in her time, but then so did the other wide-body jets of her era.
Here is a DC-10, (and her younger, bigger sister the MD-11), that never was, although she came pretty close, but was pipped by the 747 SP.

Actually I don't think the new style scheme on the MD11 looks very good at all, just doesn't suit the mid engine style, probably why they never got them

just doesn't suit the mid engine style,

yeah....it does look a little awkward.
Sort of like the DC-10 in the British Airways Landor scheme, that number 2 engine area just didn't look quiet right.

I think the whole nacelle should be red, that would have fixed it a little
