- GARUDA INDONESIA MD-11ER PK-GIL TOKYO (NRT) - JAKARTA
MARCH 17, 1998
In March we decided to go on vacation together with my father in law, wife and daughter to Indonesia to visit the beautiful islands of Bali and Lombok soon after he became a widower.
This video features the outbound and very empty flight from Tokyo-Narita to Jakarta connecting to Denpasar onboard Garuda Indonesia MD-11ER PK-GIL.
However, also this flight was taped with the very first generation of video cameras with digital recording on mini DV cassettes. There were neither stabilizing nor focusing features available at that time. I therefore apologize for the poor video quality and hope that you still can capture the feeling of what it was like to fly in the 90s.
History of Garuda Indonesia MD-11ER PK-GIL
Airframe 48755 was manufactured 1997 and delivered to Garuda Indonesia, registered PK-GIL, May 24, 1997.

That Safety video sounds like the 1990's intro to the Bathurst 1000 (Auto Race)
I've try this route in 2009 to Tokyo Narita, but using Boeing 747-400. I feel bored at that time because on the old Boeing 747-400 PK-GSH, there is no inflight entertainment. Feel so bored in 6-7 hours. But great!! I love MD-11 and DC-10-30. Now, all the Boeing 747 in Indonesia already retired.
I believe there were IFE, but only on business class
I possibly flew on this MD-11ER PK-GIL when he became PP-VQJ and operated for Varig.
great documentary keep it up!
So nostalgic 😍
Best bro..
i like the sound of this safety video
Great footage
Hope you upload more video like this .... classic asian airliners... great video ,thanks
Garuda Indonesia, perfect landing as always 👍
I just saw N572FE at PEK today... didn't realize it was formerly MD-11ER until today
Your daughter is so adorable!!
I saw the old JAL MD-11. Nostalgic.
I love MD-11
Boripat Wannasri me too. Wih 200 planes built, MD-11 wasn't popular as A330 & 777 because 3-engine usage on MD-11 makes more thirsty. But MD-11 are ideal as Cargo transporter.
Me too
I miss md11 :c
3 mounts before world cup 1998 when france and zidane rule the world. I’m lucky to ever fly with this md-11 when garuda still operate it at that time
*3 months

51:13 Bob's vertical livery looks like Cathay Pacific to present day
TOP AIRCRAFT TYPE EVER
13:43 "How's it going, Stubs?" "What's up, Bob!" 😂
Are they serving eel?
Love ur vids. btw.
Jaman sekarang uda enak ada wifi, bisa nonton
Skrg Garuda Ada IFE Jdi Lebih Nyaman Dan Enak Klo Terbang Jauh Apalagi Business Class Sama First Class Nya Beeuuhh
Tokyo- Jakarta 8 hours remaining
i prefer the old airplane logo because the colors are more visible than the current one, even the eagle can't be seen
Wow not many people onboard
Question concerning the aircraft: The covering of the flap mounting here looks different to those of other MD-11. Other MD-11 don't have coverings that are elongated behind the trailing edge and end in sort of teeth. Is this a special model?
Yes, because this is special version of MD-11. New modified flaps, improved performance(PIP) . With extra fuel tank can fly up to 13.410 km.
@@BruhBruh-ev7mi Thanks.
That's what I thought
@@BruhBruh-ev7mi yes a very rare version of the MD-11. Called the MD-11ER, only 5 were made. 3 delivered to Garuda Indonesia and 2 delivered to World Airways
Garuda md11 was retired before they retire the DC-10. I believe some of their MD11 is currently used by fedex
Safety video only sound or video?
Damn the cabin is so wide
I really want to know how the safety video looks like...🥺
But now Garuda has B777-300ER with GE90-155B and A332 and A333 with RR Trent-700 are now only the replacements of the MD-11.
wow MD-11.. go jōsha (tōjō) arigatōgozaimasu!
omg
MD-11 Dah tamat dan diganti kargo
Sir it's too long 1998
3:09 What's that sound? Is that the sound of safety video?
Yup, that's those are the safety instructions
Im from Indonesia
Sama
and then ?
jauh Hut ybb Yu
Im a retired cabin crew of Garuda, route JKT-AMS-JKT, honestly the landing announcement herein is not up to standard. Not warm enough n should say more to thank passengers for flying with Garuda. Not even saying, " On behalf of the Captain and the crew members.......We hope to be of service with you on your next flight with Garuda.
Well, this flight was 25 years ago
@@danielfrohriep-ichihara9176 I retired 28 years ago n I say those landing announcement.
and its now for fedex
this plane was a missile
Sir, what do you feel about visiting Indonesia in that day? Are you feeling something unwell about security? Because approx. 2 months later (13-15 May 1998), Indonesia fell into unrest, especially in Jakarta. Soeharto resigns, rioting and mass rape happened.
That means what I read in an Indonesian online aviation forum was true back then, Garuda have a long delay problem in 1990s.
Today, based on my personal experience using Garuda (unfortunately have not yet be able to go abroad), their OTP (on time performance) are excellent.
This all happened after the string of accidents from 2000-2007, They rebranded and started to get better.
And it paid off with they become one out of two South East Asian airlines with 5 star rating from Skytrax.
