| ONA DC-10 N1033F
(HolidayLiner Enterprise) was the replacement
a/c for N1032F (the November 12, 1975 JFK crash).
In late 1976 I visited the Douglas Assembly Plant
in Long Beach, California and obtained some
pictures of N1033F being built. At the time,
ONA was without a DC-10 aircraft (N1031F
crashed at Istanbul on January 2, 1976) and
this caused havoc with the upcoming Spring/
Summer season. The assembly of N1033F was
expedited but was not delivered to ONA until
May 9, 1977. N1033F was sold to Korean
Airlines in August, 1978 and re-registered
as HL-7339. It was destroyed on December
23, 1983 after crashing head-on with a PA-31
Piper Navajo aircraft (South Central Air flt
59) while the DC-10 was taking off from the
wrong runway at Anchorage, Alaska. It overran
the runway by 1434 feet and was destroyed by
fire. There were no fatalities from either
aircraft.
