Can any one tell me where I can find information as to the N registration of the DC-10 that took off prior to the ill fated Concorde and reportedly left debris on the runway that may have casued the tires to rupture.

Found it.........COA Flight55, CDG/EWR. Aircraft was N13067.
Go to section 16.6 of report. Appears to be wear strip from engine fan reverser cowl according to report, which is rather extensive and interesting reading.

The Thrust Reverser from which the 'rub strip' was believed to have come was removed from Ship 067 during the investigation. As far as I know it's still very much intact and under lock and key somewhere.

The DC-10's that EA operated were leased from AZ. N14075 is currently flying with WO operating AMC trips from NGU to the Med.

Minor correction - EA purchased them outright. They weren't leased. Parent company Texas Air Corporation (later Continental Airlines Holdings) transferred the three DC-10s to CO after EA shut down in 1991.

Eastern stopped flying DC-10s months before January of 1991.
When EA sold their Latin America routes to AA in summer of 1990, EA retired its DC-10s. EA was not under Texas Air's umbrella during that time.

Did AF sue CO for the incident?? If the CO plane was maintained properly surely the piece would'nt have fallen off and endangered other aircraft???
It is the airlines responsibility for the maintaining of the aircraft. If they failed then they put other airliners at risk and should be held responsible for any incident.

Bankruptcy court pulled Eastern Airlines out of Texas Air Corporation in summer of 1989. Judge kicked Frank Lorenzo and Texas Air out of Eastern and appointed a trustee to run Eastern.

It's also the airport's responsibility for keeping their runways clear - not the airlines'. This is mentioned in the interim report linked above, and the runway debris check schedule at CDG is compared with those from other airports around the world.
Didn't you watch "LAX" the other night??

CO acquired all three of EA's -10s (Ships 064,067,068 .. Boy, did I hate 068.. But that's another story) sometime prior to EA's demise.

What was the problem with 068. I did fly in all DC10's but since I didn't work with them, couldn't tell the difference. Except the DC-10-10's (pubs)
The CO DC-10's were great looking to me.
