Biman DC-10 Taking Off From Manchester

Among the three-engine airliners, aviation-lovers mostly appreciate DC-10, the epic McDonnell Douglas airliner. Particularly the 3rd turbofan engine, mounted on the top of its rear fuselage, is the main reason of the adoration. Not a lot of wide-body commercial airliners have a 3rd engine mounted on the top of their rear fuselages. Though FedEx has the highest number of DC-10s (60), as commercial passenger carrier Biman Bangladesh Airlines holds the highest number of DC-10s (4).
