I'm sure at some point it will be. That plane is 2 months shy of being 50 years old. The question is, what will they replace it with.

I believe these are the only civilian operators of the DC-10 nowadays.
When considering military, USAF still have their KC-10s.

Sad. N307FE and N321FE are still in MEM. I guess their time is coming soon.

Ouch that's sad. Hopefully some museum is willing to buy the entire plane but that's only daydreaming.
