My first and only DC-10 flight resulted in me getting airsick due to lack of air circulation in the middle seats in Coach close to KMSP.

My one and only DC-10 flight was on United, PIT to ORD in June 1978 on our way to Hawaii. Had a nice flight and a hot breakfast. My younger brother and I were allowed a brief cockpit visit on our way off the plane. Get that, wide-body from PIT to ORD...

My first DC-10 was the day I got my flight benefits. Flew DFW-MIA, then a dc10 first class MIA-LAX, then back to DFW. Saw both coasts in one day.
