Firefighting plane's use in Texas wildfire delayed(no pilot)

The Texas Forest Service says the DC-10 arrived from California on Wednesday, but it won't be used until at least Friday to battle the fire that's destroyed nearly 1,400 homes. Agency spokeswoman Holly Huffman says the state doesn't have the equipment to fill the plane and is awaiting the shipment from California.
She says even if the plane was ready, authorities don't have anyone to fly it because the pilot who was to conduct the drop has worked 14 straight days and must take two days off under policy.

Difference Between the DC-10 and MD-11 (Outside)

Hi!! All DC-10 and MD-11 Fans !! (I Am a MASSIVE one) ....
I was looking at my Model MD-11's and DC-10's to see if i could find the Visual Differences....



Top plane is : McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30.
Bottom plane: McDonnell Douglas MD-11.... a Interesting Fact!! the MD-11 was going to be called the McDonnell Douglas DC-10-60 (Super60)

If you know of anymore Out side visual differences please Let Me Know...

Thanks....

By the way It took effort and Skill to Balance the DC-10 on the MD-11 while the MD-11 was sitting on a Mini Spanish Drum!!
