The storied McDonnell Douglas DC-10 airplane will be used only for carrying packages instead of people after today, as the 42-year-old planes are retired to serve as cargo jets. The last flight happens today on Bangladesh Biman Airlines, says CNN, and will be replaced by Boeings markedly newer B777-300ER, which went into service in mid-1995. McDonnell Douglas made 446 DC-10s during the planes manufacturing run, which included six different variations. The last jet in the DC-10 family was sold to Nigeria Airways in 1989.
