N225 and 226NW are no longer in service. I believe only N234, 237, and 240NW remain. N226NW will be ATA's first DC-10 as N701TZ which will be headed to SAT for heavy maintenance in about 2 weeks.
35 years of American Trans Air/ATA Airlines, 1973-2008. A great little airline that will not be soon forgotten.

I know N243 is out of the fleet (saw a picture at MSP with the titles being removed)...any idea where my special bird may be headed? Is she one of the DC-10s destined for TZ?

That is very interesting to find out. This was the a/c I flew on MEM-AMS during my round the world trip a couple of months back. The trip report will come eventually. Nice to know this a/c will get a 3rd life with TZ, but a pity it will be at the expense of an L1011 or two.

I didn't realize how soon they are all being retired... I guess my last time seeing one was the old colors DC10 I saw at a terminal at MIA early on the morning of november 25th, there for a charter... sad. When was the last 742 withdrawn from service?
25 Azjubilee: The 742 has not been withdrawn from service. The fex pax variants that are left serve NRT-GUM/SPN. That only takes 2 frames, but there must be one in
26 FlyMIA: So do NW742 pilots get to fly both Cargo and PAX from NRT? Because flying NRT-GUM and NRT-SPN everyday must get a little bit boring. When does NW pla
27 Azjubilee: The 742 pilots fly both cargo sectors as well as pax sectors. They say the cargo sectors are the best! Not to sure when they'll be retired, but I'm su
29 TrijetsRMissed: That's awesome, make sure you take some pictures! Good point about it coming at the expense of the L1011, which are a lot more rare than the DC10s th
30 Filejw: Trijets, Thanks I'll put that in my logbook
31 TrijetsRMissed: No problem Filejw, it was one the last 5 or 10 out of nearly 400 to ever come off the line back in 1988.
32 Magyarorszag: N240NW is the 438th DC-10/KC-10A off the line of a total of 446. Was origininally delivered as HS-TMC. Cheers.
33 LemonKitty: Any further updates? Looks like N234NW and N237NW will be the only Big 10's left after December 12... LK
34 TZTriStar500: Yes, sir and both will be headed to ATA.
35 TrijetsRMissed: Furthermore the 3rd to last pax DC-10 and last DC10-30ER.

37 Pilottim747: I think its a bit early to know. Even NW doesn't know which aircraft will operate it this far out. It will be either N234NW and N237NW.
