Changed my mind on the DC 10/ MD 11. Beautiful bird after all.♥️ Have a blessed Easter you all.

I loved both the MD 11 and the L1011. Especially when the engine on top started to reve up at take off. That low drowning sound would put me to sleep every time.

I flew with these beauties when I was a child. Lovely memories. Thanks for this video !

Sooo miss that sound, retirement sucks!!! THANKS

So satisfying seeing these beautiful old birds, such magnificent beasts! The pitch attitude on take off & landing is so cool, and that Finnair machine absolutely aced the landing in what was notoriously on of the "tougher" jets to handle.

Brings back memories of my very first flight on a Philippine Airlines Mc Donnel Douglas DC-10 from Manila to Dhahran via Dubai, June 25, 1991.

Truly miss those days.The MD-11 is a great airliner and I enjoyed every flight on it.Landing in Hongkong Kai Tak is still vivid in my mind...felt like sitting in a fighter jet

I used to work on the DC10 series & the MD11 series, miss them!

I miss the time when I took MD-11 to Helsinki and Amsterdam.

That VARIG md11 at 1:40 is just perfect ❤

A look into what would have been had McDonnell Douglas’ Execs not sold out and taken Boeing’s money.

One of my favorite wide-body jet

I know this video mainly focuses on MD11 but the first minute of this video is amazing with shots of The Concorde and the original WTC in the background Classic!!!

Worked for Quantem Aviation (Subcontractor for UPS that would do all the ground work at KSLC) and these things would be delayed more than any other plane due to mechanical problems. Also suck to work in because the cargo bay AC never worked when loading or unloading. It felt like a blessing when I got transferred to the A300-600

Stunning and timeless plane

Good memories!

Damn,Very beautiful! I love Md-11 ❤️😍

Avianca could put its great corporative livery colors in this wonderful plane...

AA & DL Md-11s should have been used as LAX-JFK trans continental flagship planes rather than retired because they should be 8-10 years newer than a B767-200 or B757-200 both were 5-10 years old when MD-11 entered service in 1990-1991
