Improved to Good Article status by Jetstreamer (talk). Self-nominated at 02:15, 18 July 2017 (UTC).
Was new enough when nominated. GA - so long enough, and properly referenced. QPQ done. No copyvio, as expected. The reference seems to be sourced from a scanned copy of a Flight International magazine, and therefore is probably reliable. Hook has no issues and is within criteria. Good to go.

- On second looks, the reference states that Nigerian Airlines brought the last DC-10. It does not say that the aircraft was ever operated by them. I have therefore changed the hook to the more technically correct term. Feel free to revert if a better reference for the fact that the aircraft was ever operated can be found.

- @Jupitus Smart: Strictly speaking the aircraft was not acquired but leased. What about ALT3: ... that in the late 1980s the now defunct airline Nigeria Airways took delivery of the last DC-10 ever built?
