Omni air flies them.
FedEx has MD-10's (Which are DC-10 converted to a MD-11 flight deck)

I saw this thread and I got all excited. I thought they maybe were going to buy some used ones and put them back on the SEA-MSP flights... Those were the days.. <wipes tear>

You could check with these people http://www.omegaairrefueling.com/vms/ and get a chance on a 707 also. I saw the 707 at UAM last year, former PA bird very well maintained.

I believe DL flew the DC-10 for a short period because of the L-1011 delay.
On one of my last DC-10 flights, the landing gear was stuck, and it took a long time to get the gear down.
Best DC-10 flight was on CO in first class from HNL-CNS in 1990. Sipping champagne while crossing the equator, and a spectacular view of the Great Barrier Reef on landing.

Didn't they have them twice ... the first time with the ones they bought because of the L-1011 delay , and the second time when they bought WA ( although I think that also only lasted a short time )

Ah those old school chimes ... though don't miss ceiling panels falling on landing or the day a guys seat in the last row of newly dense fc configuration got mangled by the power door because it was over reclined.
