UPS + Dean Baldwin Paint MD-11

[@ateltoni]

Love to see even the MD-11s still getting love!

[@eslSlightz]

The MD-11 definitely deserves it!

[@davidca96]

MD-11, Mr. Bouncy. I love them too, especially watching them bounce on landing (every MD-11 will bounce on landing because of design). I always loved trijets like the 727 and DC-10 as a kid, the MD-11 was the last hoorah for them and is still being used as cargo luckily so we can still see them. Unfortunately they are being replaced more and more every year, they will soon be gone.

[@shapman280]

The same company that bought lots of 747-8s they do be respecting them services

[@davidca96]

@@shapman280 I heard Boeing is shutting down production of the 747-8F's for good, the 747 will no longer be produced pretty soon. They are losing money for each one built, so even though cargo companies are begging for them, they are sadly going extinct.

[@davecrupel2817]

They are Lockheed L-1011s. The MD-11s had all 3 engines on the rear, didn't they? Or am i getting my planes mixed up?

Dc-10 is the fastest fuelling plane I ever worked on. It took fuel at 3000 Litres a minute. Pilots usually took fuel evenly between all three tanks

[@jaysmith1408]

To be absolutely specific, it’s in Pipe Creek Township, at Grissom Air Reserve base. It’s great that you acknowledge the companies that to this amazing work. Especially one with as interesting a story as a $140,000 per year Ma and Pop company, to a lady bringing it up to a $30,000,000 dollar company. Great job to UPS, Mrs. Baldwin, and the employees thereof.

Since they paint there, it’s in Peru, Indiana, and the Air Force closed Grissom AFB, and that base was used as a staging base for the refueling of the planes. And they have the hangars to paint big acft. Glad to see the old base has some useful hangars. Great vlog, great story, thanks for posting!

SDF is one of the few airports in the world where you can still see DC-10/MD-11s on a regular basis. I think all of the passenger versions have been retired.

Yeah, Sdf is a great place to spot. Tons and tons and tons of trijets, also 767's are pretty common as well. The occasional a300 which is always a great plane to see. Before I went plane spotting I thought living in Louisville was the most boring thing ever.

[@bbfissingle1715]

Cargo carriers generally buy aircraft that have been retired from passenger service because they are cheap and cargo planes typically fly short distances between hubs so maintaining the older planes is not a big issue. Apart from practical purposes, I'm just glad that classic former airliners such as the MD-11 and DC-10 have found another place in the sky despite their obsolescence.

[@Astinsan]

Paint is heavy. How much thought goes into which colors will be used? Pepsi once painted the Concorde for a promotion. The paint job actually slowed the plane down because of the weight. normally flying at mach 2.02 but the paint job burnt just as much fuel and peaked out at mach 1.7. It also only lasted one flight. Paint did start coming off from friction.
