McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft silhouetted against orange sunset sky with illuminated cabin windows

A McDonnell Douglas DC-10 wide-body aircraft photographed in flight during sunset or sunrise, showing the distinctive tri-jet configuration with rear-mounted engine. The aircraft's cabin windows are illuminated against the dramatic orange and blue sky gradient, typical of the DC-10s operated by Laker Airways during Sir Freddie Laker's pioneering low-cost Skytrain service.
