American Plans DC-10 RDU Service
The first DC-10 service at
Raleigh/Durham will be introduced
by American Airlines on Sept. 13
when it inaugurates DC-10 flights to
and from both New York and San
Juan.
With a seating capacity of 290
passengers and a total payload
capacity of more than 82,000 pounds,
the three-engine McDonnell Douglas
DC-10 is one of the largest and most
widely used jets in America’s fleet.
It is also one of the largest commer
cial jets ever to serve
Raleigh/Durham International Air
port.
‘‘The introduction of DC-10 service
is yet another historic development
for the Raleigh/Durham hub,” said
W.R. “Bob” Hawkins, American's
regional manager of passenger sales.
“The DC-10 is a sign that the hub con
tinues to gain in passenger popularity
and is now large enough to support
service with the industry’s largest
commercial airplanes.”
This will be the Raleigh/Durham
DC-10 schedule:
New York La Guardia: leave New
York 6:39 a m arrive RDU 8:08
a.m.; leave RDU 8:56 p.m., arrive
New York 10:27 p.m.
San Juan: Leave RDU 9:10 a.m.,
arrive San Juan 12:40 p.m.; leave San
Juan 4:20 p.m., arrive RDU 7:40 p.m.
American has a fleet of 59 DC-lOs,
49 of which are versions used for
domestic service and overwater
flights to the Caribbean and Hawaii,
and 10 of which are longer-range in
ternational airplanes. The DC-10 is
182’3” long, has a wingspan of 155'4”,
and stanch 57’5” tall at its tail. The
aircraft is powered by three General
Electric CF6-6K engines, each pro
ducing a thrust of about 40,000
pounds. The DC-10 has a range of
about 2,700 miles.
The world’s first scheduled DC-10
flight was flown by American on Aug.
5,1971.
The DC-10 is the latest in a series of
scheduling steps by American to in
crease not only the size and scope of
the Raleigh/Durham hub, but also its
reach to overwater points that can
make RDU an important interna
tional gateway.
These steps have included nonstop
service from Raleigh/Durham to
such diverse and popular places as
Paris, San Juan, Bermuda, Cancun
and Cozumel in Mexico, and St.
Thomas and St. Croix in the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
“Our long-range objective is to con
tinue to build on these international
services by adding more exciting
places to the hub,” Hawkins said. He
said American is looking at further
expansion of services from RDU to
Mexico, service to additional points
in the Atlantic and Caribbean, and
the possibility of added European ser
vice to such places as Frankfurt.
“We want Raleigh/Durham to
become one of the most important in
ternational gateways in the
Southeast,” Hawkins said.

Playground Will
Banafit Spacial
Araa Chlldran
When children with special needs
want (o play on a nice summer day,
where can they find a playground
designed to accommodate them?
This Is a question being addressed by
the members of a new leadership
development program formed by the
United Way of Wake County late last
year,
The "Leaders of Tomorrow” pro
gram was started under outgoing
board chairman Russ Stephenson,
senior vice president of Wachovia
Bank and Trust. Stephenson
recruited a group of 26 fast-rising
young leaders who had an interest in
developing their professional skills,
enhancing job-related skills, enlarg
ing their business contacts, increas
ing their knowledge of community
resources, and becoming involved in
leadeship positions within United
Way and other non-profit human ser
vice organizations in the Triangle
area.
Donna Kanich and Ronnie Bat
chelor serve as co-chairs of the
group. Ms. Kanich, vice president of
ambulatory services at Rex Hospital,
is a member of the Bunn Foundation
Board and is involved in the AMS and
Rotary activities. Batchelor, senior
manager in the tax department at
KPMG Peat Marwick, serves as
treasurer on the board of directors of
the Association for Retarded
Citizens/Wake (a United Way agen
cy) and is a volunteer with the N.C.
Museum of History Associates.
One important issue which Bat
chelor feels needs to be addressed in
Wake County is the need for recrea
tional facilities for children with
disabilities. Toward this end,
“Leaders for Tomorrow” is under
taking the project of building an “all
children’s playground” with play
equipment specially designed to
allow special and normal needs
children to play side-by-side.
The project will consist of three
phases: organization, which will be
coordinated by the group; design,
which will be done by area architects
with input from children in Wake
County; and the actual construction
of the playground, which will be done
by volunteers from the community
over a period of 4-5 days. The group,
which is currently in the coordination
phase, anticipates completing the
project next sprins
