  • It's been a while since my last upload, but now I'm back again!
    This time I have something little more special for you all! In other words I mean Lufthansa Cargo's MD-11F [D-ALCN], which is also the very last MD-11 ever rolled out from the McDonnell Douglas production line.
    This video contains footage from landing, taxiing and takeoff, but also some close-up shots at the cargo stand.
    This beauty visited Helsinki Airport on the April 12th. It came from Chicago O'Hare and had a two hour stop here. After that it continued to it's own hub and final destination, Frankfurt.
    D-ALCN rolled out from the McDonnell Douglas production line on the September 14th, 2000. It was delivered to Lufthansa Cargo on the January 25th, 2001. That makes it already 13.6 years old, but it holds the title of the youngest MD-11 flying in the skies today.
    Video information
    Airline: Lufthansa Cargo
    Airplane: McDonnel Douglas MD-11F
    Reg: D-ALCN
    Notes: last MD-11 built
    Route: Chicago O'Hare - Helsinki - Frankfurt

    The DC-10/MD-11 were always my favourite passenger choices .
    Was brought up on 3 engine types as worked on the Trident (all variants) in BEA/BA.
    Interesting career from Viscounts to Concorde with Boeings and Airbus also.
    Too bad the industry is in such turmoil.
    Can't wait to get back in the air and pick up the latest types I have not yet flown on.

    Thanks for this blast from the past. I worked at the Long Beach CA plant where this MD-11 was assembled. We installed the sub assembly's in the nose section prior to being joined to the fuselage. We knew we were building an awesome aircraft.

    Awesome. Definitely one of the best looking MD-11's in the skies. Great job capturing its visit to EFHK. :-)

    I'm watching this in complete amazement! Lufthansa Cargo operating nothing BUT MD-11F's! I noticed some windows covered up in its fuselage, making me wonder is that a converted MD-11 freighter from its long beach plant? or am I being just foolish?

    • @Nekto459
      @Nekto459 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nope it was allways a freigther. The MD-11 freigther has the windows to be easily converted to pax, Only 5 LH Cargo MD-11 were converted from pax to freighter and they are allready withdrawal from service.Also LH Cargo Operates 5 B777F since 6 years

    When you're landing at Helsinki airport it seems that there's always croswind. At least the times I've been on the plane. lol.

    I have spent many hours in this model, but
    have never flew in one. Another item on my

    The center engine, the one in the tail, does it have as much thrust as the wing engines or more....it looks bigger to me?

    • @ViewsOfFlying
      @ViewsOfFlying  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They are all actually the same size. The number two engine looks larger because the engine intake duct is longer... The engine itself is identical to the other two.

    No tuve la suerte , de volar el MD-11, volé en casi todos,me hubiese, gustado haber volado en el MD11.

  • @billybellend1155
    @billybellend1155 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The MD-11 was just as dangerous as the DC10 to fly in. Especially in cross winds.

  • @williegillie5712
    @williegillie5712 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Was it not the md-11 that had a turbine failure and crash landed so many years ago with loss of life?

      Tri-jets are obsolete. Not as efficient as the twins you see today.
