Perhaps now I can get a more definitive answer to the following: Some of my pilot friends have accused the DC-10 as having a particularly bad history of hydraulic problems (which have contributed to a few crashes). But do the statistics really support the notion that the DC-10 really has a significantly worse safety record than other wide-body jets, or is this just a myth? Also, have all these hydraulic problems been corrected, or does the DC-10 still suffer from hydraulic problems even today?
