CLASSIC KLM MD-11! Powerful Spool Up and departure out of Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

most beautiful trijet to ever grace our world

I’d have to go with the 727 being the most beautiful trijet 😊

My god... such a lovely aircraft. I miss this beauty

[@damian-795]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ6zZ2Rsl7R4ors

Del DC 10 ES MÁS HERMOSO PERO EL MD 11 ES EL AVIÓN MÁS HERMOSO HUBIESE QUERIDO QUE TENGA EL SONIDO DE LOS MOTORES DEL DC 10

[@greyjay9202]

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.

The most beautiful plane 😍 ❤ ever build.

Back then when you could name different plains by their looks..!! I miss those days..!!

Love this ole girl love the high taxi speed and steep climb out. MD-11's are without a doubt legendary. Awesome video thanks

[@trongnghia2023]

One of the most beautiful aircraft that I miss

[@Fleetwoodjohn]

It amazes me that small rudder mounted so high up creating leverage on the vertical stab worked.

[@2SD251Jim]

Flew to Hawaii many times on DC-10 IN EARLY 1990'S...MISS THEM

[@PlanesWeekly]

We miss this trijet so much! Have you ever seen a trijet in person?

[@danielruiz6880]

You talk about TriStar L1011 in person ?

[@davidgraham1111]

Even better, I've flown on them. DC-10, L-1011, MD-11.

I was lucky enough to fly on board Swiss Air MD-11s a couple of times. I miss these birds.

[@blumac9801]

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I've flown many times on DC-10s and 727s... and a few times on MD-11s and once on a TriStar. I was on one of the last commercial US 727 flights in "07 on Champion. (They continued charters & VIPs into '08.). I miss them all dearly.

[@SL-vw9pm]

I had the wonderful opportunity to experience this beautiful aircraft from Dhaka to Paris by Biman Bangladesh,way back in 93 Dec. Such a majestic aircraft, sad it has gone out of service!! WHY ?

[@classicalmidiorgans]

Yes. Enjoyed my flights in those ones to Canada!

[@DezRosswess]

Marvellous sight and sound, Schiphol is still a good spot but less interesting without these.

[@aeronautik5]

I never realized how trippy the engine on the tail is until I kept paying attention to it.

[@IvanGrobjsa]

American Airlines used the MD-11 in the 90s... it was such an amazing plane!

[@SMNAviation]

It seems this could have been recorded yesterday! Excellent footage! Added to favorites. 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.

[@jusezaba8557]

That's my favorite airplane

[@manuelcampuzano558]

It's pretty but you've got to give the SR71 that accolade

I remember this beauty landing in Quito, sorting out some high up volcanoes and landing inside the city, it was full of grace. I also flew on it, and experienced its smooth climb.

[@alistairreid1262]

Was always one of my favourites both the DC-10/MD-11. First flew on Laker on a day trip LGW-PMI when it first arrived on the -10 on a promotional offer and later on the -30 and -40 on numerous airlines in the USA, UA, WA, AA, NW plus LH DEL-FRA and a memorable KL AMS-CCS-CUR-PTY. 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.

[@jet1blast]

I should have sucked in more time when these birds were around, I miss the A300, DC-10, and MD-11 so much. All I got now are youtube videos to remember them by.

I always liked the MD-11. Even though it is an enhanced DC-10, it just had more character and appeal. It is unfortunate it did not live up to its projections. I had the pleasure of flying on it several times between ORD and DFW.

Flown on a 1011 just once with Varig of Brazil from Sao Paulo to Manaus in 2005. It was far from full. An exceptionally comfortable flight.

[@marcsgrower1]

@@soulsphere9242 I stand corrected! Thanks. I meant to write MD 11. The MD 11 looks similar to DC 10. MD 11 is a longer aircraft with drag reducing tips on its wings and is a faster airplane The 1011 is a Lockheed aircraft.
