(We removed a photo of a DC-10 after receiving additional information from the person who sent it to us, saying it was taken by someone else.)

  1. Lot of flap extended for a “departing” aircraft. Arriving maybe?

  2. Full disclosure: The fine photo of the DC-10 was taken by Anthony Cistolo, which he posted to jetphotos.com. I found it through FlightRadar24 as I was following the tanker drops last week in Shasta and Siskiyou counties. The DC-10 just happened to be passing by after leaving Medford headed for points south.
    Thanks, Bill!

    • When you sent us the photo of the DC-10 “departing Medford”, you did not say it was taken by someone else. Since we do not have permission to use the photo, we removed it.

      We apologize to our readers who were misled by the earlier headline.
