Photo Comment

Originally an American Airlines machine and later flown by ATA, Laker, and Cal Air/Novair, Project Orbis acquired this DC-10 (line number 2) in 1991 and equipped it as the flying eye hospital. After retirement, arrived at Pima in November 2016. MD-10 N330AU now fulfils the eye hospital role.
