There are two Lockheeds in the background, and they're L-100 Hercules that replaced earlier C-46's. They were Delta's main deck freighter fleet. I believe Delta operated the DC-10 twice, once when the delivery of the L-1011 was delayed in the early 70's, and then again from 1987-1989 after the merger with Western.
