A bit off topic here but it might interest someone....
last piece of the journey
some info about the flight:
www.dhakatribune.com/technology/2014/jan/24/biman%E2%80%99s-dc-10-operate-last-passenger-flight-february-20
SN 445 - it is one of the "newest" DC-10 - only two had FF later (SN444, SN446).
It is not completely end of this model - dozens are still in service as CARGO haulers - mostly with FEDEX, but they are fast "moving to the desert".
And of course dozens in the service as tankers mostly with US air force and those might be in the air for some time.
This one consumes almost as much gas as our favorite A380 so.....
