    Here's a Remake of a MD-11 Takeoff I filmed at Princess Juliana in 2011. (the original video isn't working anymore)
    I'm very happy to say that I'm going back to St Maarten later this winter (5th - 20th of Dec)
    I hope you're exited to see what kind of crazy videos I'll get this time ;) Of coarse please leave me a request if there's anything in particular you would like to see = )
    Don't forget to guess the sound at the end ;) I'll be giving away a price to the 3 best aircraft sound guessers at the end of 2013. it'll be a spotting DVD or something like that. Good Luck everybody!!!

    Most beautiful airliners ever, the MD11 and the DC10. Those big triple engine monsters still look like something from a sci-fi movie to this day. The sight of them taking off from the rear is a beauty to behold.

    In the interest of passenger comfort, most airlines use only a limited amout of the performance their equipment is capable of. The MD-11 is surely capable of this beautiful climbout and a lot more if needed.

      I saw a Finnair MD-11 leave on the delivery
      flight. FULL of fuel.4 or 5 people on board,
      and a BRAND NEW IROC Camaro in one of
      the cargo holds. It is typical to "wiggle the
      wings, on a delivery flight, but this pilot put
      on a GREAT show. 45 degrees in each
      direction, AND about a 45 degree climbout!
      I was at home, just off the flight path, at Long
      Beach. (I could hear the rivet guns at night.)
      I had a GREAT view of most delivery flights,
      and that one was the BEST!

    Climbs like the proverbial homesick angel. 757s are pretty good at it too. I saw somewhere on this site that 757s are ridiculously overpowered. There's a vid around here somewhere of a New Zealand Air Force 757 doing a beauty climbout.

      +gacj2010 The DC-10 has the worst safety record of any commercial aircraft in history. It's been involved in 54 accidents, 32 of which were hull losses, resulting in the deaths of over 1000 people. It also killed the Concorde, debris from one of its faulty engines was sucked up by the concorde on the tarmac, resulting in the fatal crash at Charles De Gaulle Airport.

      +Karmagician "The DC-10 has the worst safety record of any commercial aircraft in history" that's a little bit exaggeration there. Statistically, DC-10 is no different to early Boeing 747 and fared better than Fokker F-27, Embraer 110 and MD-11. MD-11 was notorious with a number landing crashes (forget Swissair 111) blamed on center of gravity and smallish elevator.

Although my job involved working with the very first blocks of what was then the new F-15 fighter, the original prototype DC-10 made several visits and test flights from St Louis. At the time, McDonnell was even still building brand new F-4 Phantoms.

    I flew on a new DC-10 predecessor of the MD-11 in 1977 on a short haul trip (25 minutes) from Vancouver to Seattle to board a much older 1960's era Boeing 727 for the remaining trip to Los Angeles CA. The interior was very nice compared to the more musty, crammed 727, however a year 1/2 later in 1979, after the notorious photo of an engineless DC-10 plunging downward and the following scandal involving the planes faulty engine mounts. ending the once legendary DC series of airliners.
