Northwest Orient was the launch customer for the DC-10 Series 40, an intercontinental widebody that bridged the capacity and range of NWA's jumbo Boeing 747 and its domestic workhorse Boeing 727. The DC-10 ranged across Northwest's entire network, from Asia to Florida, Hawaii to Europe, and key shorter-haul routes in between as well. While NWA's DC-10 fleet was never as large as United or American's, we would fly the type longer than any other major passenger carrier, finally retiring the type in January 2007.
The -40 received its type authorization in September 1972, and we are proud to add our merchandise tribute to the type on its 50th anniversary! This print-on-demand mug will be sent directly from the production facility in the USA to you.
