DC-10 Tribute
DC-10 Tribute
Poster size is 14" wide by 20" tall, including a one-inch white border, and is printed on heavyweight, acid-free poster stock.
Honoring the venerable McDonnell Douglas DC-10, this illustrated print by artist Chris Bidlack portrays a head-on view of a United Airlines DC-10, while a Continental DC-10 climbs-out in the sky behind. Continental merged with United in 2012. Both liveries portrayed were created by the great designer Saul Bass, Continental's “Contrails” livery in 1967, and United's rainbow “Tulip” livery in 1974. They remain two of the most loved paint schemes by many current and former employees of both carriers.
The old Denver Stapleton Airport is silhouetted in the background, with the Rocky mountains beyond. The lower portion of the print includes a brief list of the production quantities of all of the DC-10 airframes, from the DC-10-10 to the DC-10-40.
The DC-10 first flew on August 29, 1970, and made its last commercial passenger flight 43 years later, on February 20, 2014. A total of 386 commercial DC-10s were built, plus 60 KC-10 USAF tanker/cargo airframes.
The print will arrive carefully packaged and ready for you to unroll and frame. (Framing instructions included.) Click on the image to see the full poster in detail. (And of course, the “JetAgeArt.com” watermark does not appear on the actual poster.)
