[@rolypolychannel]

A few landmarks for anyone who's interested: 1:30 Kindsbach 1:48 Einsiedlerhof 2:25 short glimpse of distant Kaiserslautern 2:43 Erfenbach 3:30 Otterberg

great Pratt & Whittney engine sound from a MD 11. I love it :)!!!!!!!

[@derekwall200]

that must've been a real treat, its hard to find any passenger airline that still operates MD-11s

[@DH111d]

I think all MD-11 service ended recently at least two or more years ago, including last one that KLM flew. Never got to fly on an MD-11, but previously flew on older DC-10s (Northwest and United); old jets retired several years back.

[@ilikerio]

Nothing beats the sound of PW engines on an MD-11...

[@mcdonnelldouglasmd-1124]

The CF6 MD-11 does

[@Silberpfeil1971]

You see the palatinate forest below you. The largest forest of Germany. I am grown up there and I have heard you very often coming and going. Sometimes it is/was a little bit loud, but most of the time I am happy to know you and your mates with us. Protecting freedom. Go on!

[@AeroTravels]

Just amazing! Love it!

[@soviet_salsa2983]

dear god the md11 sounds like a beast

[@azizabdull6931]

no pushback no taxi👍 thanks⚘

[@PilotKriss]

I'm so glad you got some footage of an MD-11 as there isn't really that much on youtube! It's a shame that most of these air frames are nearing their final legs now, I really wish I could go on one but I'm 14 so very limited! I guess most of them from this airline will go to FedEx so we will only ever be able to see them from the outside! Nevertheless, Great video!

[@laliux32]

So if it's a quieter plane! I love your video ... great shot of the wing and turbine ... vortex can be seen coming out of the nacelle and good compression on the upper wing ... Greetings from Costa Rica

[@Flightsim10HD]

Wow awesome! Sounds pretty meaty, good job!

[@tonybmw323]

absolute class video ! MD is the bomb too

[@rainbowrailroadcrossing7798]

Such an intense plane!!!!

[@HamburgAirport]

Great video! Your iPhone got a very nice camera.

[@FanofFans47]

Guessing that’s a PW4000 by the sound

[@american0153]

This engine is a PW4462. The 4462 has different spiral options. The CF6-80C2 series has a whine mixed with a buzzsaw sound.

Cool MD11 takeoff😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@JupiterMan12.000]

Nice Aircraft the MD11 is a Trijet

[@Jenast]

I flew on the same type and same airline when going back to the US after 5 years! And it was in 2013 too! But it was in May

[@mah584jr]

+Jenast Too bad you can't fly on them anymore as all passenger variants have been retired!

[@Jenast]

+Mah584jr HD Aviation exactly.

[@TonoFonseca]

+Mah584jr HD Aviation Of all the airliners in the world, the DC-10 and MD-11 are the ones I wish I could fly on most. I'm too young to have been around when they were big in passenger hauling.

[@DH111d]

@@mah584jr Correct indeed. NO more commercial flights on the old DC-10s and the MD-11s. Charter carriers retired theirs too, as i recall. Biman was the last airline to fly the DC-10; Northwest was last USA Airline that flew them prior to its demise and merger with Delta. Miss flying on those old tri-jet birds that Northwest had.

[@angeltransportpjects]

Was this a CAMBER flight by any chance? World Airways were always involved with these troop flights and AJK (Allied Air) flights though AJKs used the MD-11F. A great carrier fell when World went bankrupt :o(

[@SKYSTAR767]

Was one of the oldest charter airlines in the world. The first oldest is condor who is still around.

[@Airplanefan-fk1kd]

Engine sound, and climb

[@DanielSander]

nice one :-)

[@mah584jr]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@AviadorLPA]

i guess this was a military flight as world airways fly for military troops

[@nursejon1962]

powerful seemingly effortless takeoff..

[@mah584jr]

+John Kenward They're definitely powerful aircraft!

[@nursejon1962]

+Mah584jr HD Aviation flew alot of MD80/DC9..San Antonio to Dallas American..San Antonio to Houston cContinental airlines..I agree felt very safe ..727 too..powerful rear engines..saw a Fokker70 vid..wow that one too..excellent videos..does it help to "like" or is viewing enough

[@flyboy6753]

How did you manage to get on one of these flights?

[@locoHAWAIIANkane]

Forgive my ignorance but what’s the fins on the cowlings for? I’m assuming air flow?

[@Underappreciatedclassics]

Kalei K airflow efficiency most likely

[@DH111d]

@@Underappreciatedclassics Improved aerodynamics and improved efficiency, for less drag, I presume and guess. Not an engineer though.

[@gameusedballs]

Nice! Did you like the md11?

[@bijaysitaula7006]

The engine is Pratt and Whitney.

[@american0153]

Bijay Sitaula Yeah, it’s a PW4462. The CF6-80C2 series has a whine and buzzsaw sound. This particular engine just got the same spiral paint job as an 80C2-D1F

[@maltimoto]

Hello Mr. Pratt. I am Whithney.

[@FanofFans47]

Sounds like a pw4000

[@derekwall200]

those are GE CF6 turbofans my friend, they used to fly with JT9Ds

[@vorsprungdurchtechnik5]

Derek Wall No my friend this one is equipped with PW4000s you can tell by the back of the engine because it does not have a long pointy cone on it this one's flat

[@EliseToole]

Derek Wall LOL, they’re PW4000 because like what he said, also World Airlines never had MD11s with CF6s.

[@JishyFishy4106]

Actually, MD-11 uses a CF6-50C engine..

[@axl1632]

well the MD-11 operates PW4000 & GE-CF6 the DC-10 (predecessor of the DC-10) was sole operator of the GE CF6 (except the DC-10-40 used by NWA & JAL which uses JT9D)

[@JishyFishy4106]

@@axl1632 Thanx 4 Info..

[@max010113]

wtf its engine turned off at the end

[@mah584jr]

No, it was still on I assure you!

[@max010113]

***** but the turbine thingy stopped moving

[@mah584jr]

No, it slowed down! It's an optical illusion!

[@maltimoto]

Sexy aircraft!

[@joshuapratt9615]

Where some hard turns

[@andressantos2883]

Cf6 spiral

[@farhanashraf808]

Boeing build a new version of md11 type aircraft if they do the design will succeed if they want to

[@DH111d]

I concur, though a real long-shot, I suspect. Fuel efficiency and better design, a must do for sure. No more of past checkered history of the MD-11 and its more checkered past predecessor, the DC-10. It would need to be for longer-haul flights for sure.
