McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30

Swissair

 

HB-IHB was noted at Riem on 5 November 1973, probably the precise date for this shot.

 

Swissair DC-10s were very occasionally observed at Riem in the 1970s, on diversions or substituting for the usual DC-9s. Still, they were among the earliest DC-10s to be seen at the airport.

 

Other Swissair DC-10s reported at Riem include HB-IHA on 18 March 1973, HB-IHD on 17 May 1975, HB-IHE on 1 September 1979, HB-IHF on 31 October 1975, HB-IHG on 15 November 1978, HB-IHH on 5 July 1980, and HB-IHK (with Balair) on 23 April 1979.
