- Related to DC-9's and nose-up attitude, what about DC-10's? I recall
- reading that DC-10 engines (well, maybe just the one in the tail) are
- pitched. Wasn't there the case maybe 10 years ago of a DC-10 (Florida
- area? Delta?) whose surfaces froze in some manner making it pitch
- in one direction, so they applied more power to the tail engine to
- compensate? Had to get enough nose-down to land.
