I want to say it was a four engine turbo prop. Don't remember for sure, and that could be about anything.

I used to live not too far from the Minneapolis airport, and would get gas right of the end of one of the runways and watch planes come in. It was always worthwhile when the weather was rough. NWA used to have a whole mess of 727's, they always seemed to have the most trouble. Dad always said it wasn't a question of if, it was when with that plane, but he must have liked it. I think he flew it for 18 years. After that it was a couple in the DC10, then the 747 till he retired. I wish I would've asked him what he started out on. I knew he built up his hours crop dusting.

Whats the difference between a MD11 and the DC10?
