A literal "blast from the past"! Today we give you one of our favorite planes! The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 flown by KLM - Royal Dutch Airlines. This video was recorded back in October 2014, and was, therefore, one of the last passengers operated flights. The MD-11 lives on with cargo operations!
We hope you enjoy this video, which we've had in the archives now for 4 years! Thank you all for watching!
Happy flying!

    I went to Kemble airfield 2005 and found three DC 10`s parked up. They were beautiful and were sold to a south african airline later that year for £1.000.000 for all three , they were made in 1976. While I was standing beside the planes security came over but they were quite cool. The planes had been there for a year without flying in storage and were due to be scrapped. Standing by engine one the fan blades were turning in the wind like a windmill making a nice rattle noise, it was quite magical. Think of the joy and experiences these amazing machines have brought to people. Here is one of them going to it`s new owner kzread.info/dash/bejne/fKGEmJNvkrKrnLw.html

    I've never flown on an MD-11, but I have flown on a DC-10, and I found it a very comfortable flight. I spoke to the Captain, after landing at Oakland, and he said it was a dream to fly. All that said, I think the third engine, mounted high on the fuselage at the tail, mars the looks of the aircraft. But from a practical point of view, it gave airlines an option to four engine aircraft, for long, over water flights. MD-11's are still in wide use, as cargo carriers.

I never got the chance to fly or see a passenger MD-11 but the MD-11-F from Lufthansa Cargo is a common aircraft at my Home Airport [MMMX]. I better take some videos of it before it goes as well. This applies to the a340 and 747 because 4 engined planes will become history as well.

Did several KL sectors on the MD-11. AMS-CUR-BON. LAX-AMS. AMS-HAV-AMS. Tried to get on one of the farewell flights but just missed out. I just loved the shape and every time I landed in AMS, I just longed to see one.
