On Bangladesh Airlines.

(CNN) -- Some commercial jets receive soaring fanfare when they hang up their wings.
Remember all that fuss over the Concorde?
Now it's the McDonnell Douglas DC-10's turn.
But what sort of retirement party awaits the airline industry's final scheduled DC-10 passenger flight?
The final-flight honor goes to Bangladesh Biman Airlines, operator of the world's last passenger DC-10 -- which the airline says will be making its final scheduled flight on December 7, on an otherwise routine flight. (The airline hasn't said which route the plane will fly.)
The aircraft will then remain grounded in standby mode while awaiting the arrival of its successor, a shiny new Boeing B777-300ER -- and eventual shipment to an undisclosed aviation museum in the United States.
While passenger service comes to an end for the iconic, wide-body, three-engine workhorse of late-20th-century air travel, the DC-10 won't completely disappear from the skies.
It's still commonly used by cargo companies, such as FedEx.
For DC-10 fans (we know you're out there) mourning the end of an era, Biman has since announced one last chance to experience the DC-10 in action -- even if you're not a box with an overnight label.
