Good report. Some corrections on the aircraft info, though: Ship 1232 was delivered on 5/5/77, and was with Thai prior to NWA. This ship was never with Swissair. It is also not a DC10-30ER --the only three in NWA's fleet are 1238-40. The -ERs were only made in the late 1980s, just before the introduction of the MD11. Ship 1232 has the higher rated CF6-50C2 engines, but this does not make them into DC10-30ERs.
