- 20+ year old footage of DC10 and MD11 trijet landings and takeoffs. Airlines are KLM, Martinair, Northwest, Challenger Air Cargo, Swissair, United, FedEx, China Eastern, Hawaiian, Skyservice USA, American, Continental, Varig and Alitalia, at AMS, LAX, ZRH, SEA and MIA.
Always had a soft spot for the DC-10. Such a good looking airplane. As an Aussie it was rare to travel in one as Qantas never operated it. Ironically while on a trip to the US in 1989 we arrived to the airport for our LAX to HNL leg and learned that Qantas pilots were on strike over some pay dispute back home. We were then put onto a United flight which was a DC-10.
MD-11 DC-10. Built like tanks. Is it any wonder so many of the MD-11 originally produced are still in service as freighters. Amazing engineering.👏👏😳😳
5:14 - Similar plane involved in Swissair Flight 111 (1998)
Miss the DC10 and MD11 classic airlines liveries. I started my career as a young aerospace engineer and got to briefly worked on the MD11, Rohr Industries San Diego ❤
The DC 10 sounds like a military jet with the turbine whine
I really miss the tri-jets. I think they were WAY ahead of there time in terms of appearance. And are still very viable in today's commercial aviation market. If they had just revamped them with bigger engines and more modern interiors. Especially, the MD-11's. The can easily compete with 787 and A330 in terms of size.
Those were awesome looking jetliners ❤️❤️❤️
That they are! I'm glad I've finally encountered someone who knows that those are jet-powered airliners! Pretty much everyone else nowadays thinks that wide-bodies are driven by internal propellers similar to the external propellers like the ones on smaller planes.
I was thinking to myself “ no way in hell can this be current”. And I checked the intro and yes more than 20 years ago. The DC10 only having one major accident in around 1979. A technician snapped a motor mount and didn’t tell anyone. It crashed trying to take off. The engine literally dropped of and the miss balance crashed it.
Shot in 2000 and early 2001. After September 11 too much harassment shooting planes so I gave up. I flew to the UK from Phoenix in a DC10 right after that crash. Window seat overlooking the wing!
Thats almost right but not quite!
Yup….the American Airlines flight out of Chicago O’ Hare.
@@alcarr5893mostly human error. Well technically they’re all human error since mechanical failure is caused by human error, but anyway.
1 major accident? what about the United crash in sioux? Turkish in paris?
2:10 ese es el DC 10 -10 son los primeros DC10 con esos motores que rugian al momento de acelerar para el despegue
16:55 - Horn - on one of the planes? lol
I miss the majestic tri-jets. While I prefer the L1011 to the DC-10/MD-11, aside from the 777, the current generation of twin jet wide bodies is just not as awesome to watch in action as those big, imposing tri-jets.
I agree 100% - I also miss the B747's. BA in the uk no longer have the 747's. They got rid of the DC-10's many years ago which was a real pity. I prefer jets to be awesome rather than luxury. I guess that's just me..
I'm so upset that trijets aren't used anymore... all just because of stupid fuel costs-
The -40. The rarest Douglas in the world
Had the DVD of that,the up close shots,are excellent,and the detail is great! My dad flew for PanAm,and Oyster Bay branch ran right in back of my home! So I Aviation on the front door,and railroads out the back! Plus construction equipment all around,so an interesting childhood!! Thanks for your always excellent work!! Thanks 😊!
Important Documentation of a bygone Era of TriJets.....
McDonald Douglas DC10 Lockheed Tristar L1011 ✈️ Similar Aircraft and Engines 😎
What else was taking off at 8:00? Sounds like a fighter jet.
F-18's.
Wasn't that the AA DC-10 incident following 🛫 Takeoff from ORD? As I recall didn't the engine drop into a Trailer Park 🏞️ near the Airport?
Memorial Day 1979. Chicago. Got stuck in San Juan as all the DC-10’s were grounded.
I really miss the United Airline liveries. Something about that logo that made me always book with them b4.
Merci de cette séquence sur ces magnifiques machines aujourd'hui disparues.
Le ciel appartient désormais à des fades bimoteurs sans intérêt !
Finding a DC-10-40F is pretty much impossible to find
Very rare because only domestic flights
Amazing stuff!!
C'est mieux ces dc10
Mieux que 320 321
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I miss those trijets😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢🥺😩😫 I am I am calming down💀I am dead
Unas grandes y hermosas maquinas.con casi 50 años siguen volando.espectaculares.
This had to be somewhere or sometime in the 90’s era.
2000 and early 2001.
@@petercrook4626 Peter the BA Landor Livery was replaced by the Utopia livery 1996 - 2000-ish. The SEA footage would be before 1998 (my guess).
@@johannesbols57 Johannes, I shot at Sea-Tac in 2000
Beautiful butter landings 🧈 ✈️ I wish Boeing could bring back those beautiful tri jets 😢
They're too dangerous. All the trijets that existed had had a fatal crash of some sort.
They won’t be back, it’s all about money…🫤
@@SJSproductionsnumber 1. poor maintenance. number 2. cargo. number 3. pilot error.
that doesn’t mean it kills people. idiot
@SJSproductions All plane types of that era had fatal crashes, e.g 747, a300 etc
Boeing???
Loss of hyd hydraulic
If there was a commercial airplane racing. The trijet would be the most ideal setup
Other subscribers great video 📹 mate big like from 🇩🇴
On some of the shots, you cut away before we saw the lift-off. That is the best part! Don't cut away until the plane is airborne.
Flew on Hawaiian on the DC10 in the late 90s, and Alitalia MD11 and Continental and And Skyservice to Honolulu on a charter flight
Marvelous airplane. I hated to see them go away. =PC=
Pesawat yang melegenda, selain B747..
How is this even true The MD 11 and DC 10 was scrappedThen how was it made one year ago 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
this was filmed back in 2000-2001. you cna already see from the camera quality
Plus not all DC10 and MD11s got scrapped some still fly for fedex and ups
It's so sad that these beauties are gone, it's also sad that most regional turboprops like the original Dash 8 series at 8:53.
Great videos,any L-1011 videos?
Wow the Hawaiian Air dc-10 too!
Hermosos pájaros jigantes
