Ah, here comes another one circling around Temescal. N603AX entered service in 1988 flying for Thai Airways for 11 years before transferring to Northwest (they sure loved their Tri-jets) from 1998-2006

Pictured below when she was named “Kwanmuang”

Depending on which part of Sparks…

My friend (lives in Lockwood) has an appointment tomorrow for a consult at Northwest Hospital, which is currently in the first line of Get Set. He’s wondering if it will still be on tomorrow.

You must be getting some good views of the MD-10 landing at MCC.

After the grounding of the MD-11 by the FAA, the DC-10 and MD-10 have now also been grounded. One of the few operators of the type is 10 Tanker Air Carrier. Peter Bakema photographed N603AX at Mesa-Gateway on 4 May 2025.

More air tanker action at KCOS yesterday. Tankers 911 and 914 from 10 Tanker Air Carrier both stopping by throughout the day to top up on fire retardant.

A DC-10 air tanker, with its landing gear down, is photographed in a side profile view as it approaches for a landing. The aircraft is painted white with a vibrant orange and red livery, and the words "10 TANKER" are visible on the fuselage. The number "10" is also visible on its tail fin. A large, low-flying DC-10 air tanker, painted in white and a striking orange and red pattern, is seen from a rear-quarter angle against a partly cloudy sky. The number '10' is prominently displayed on the tail fin, and the aircraft's landing gear and flaps are deployed.
