• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Last passenger flight for the MD-11.

This morning at 6:24 local time the last commercial passenger flight of an MD-11 landed at Schiphol airport, leaving only a few cargo MD-11's flying around.
The landing also marked the end of an eighty (!) year long cooperation between the KLM and Douglas. The KLM was the only company to have operated all of Douglas commercial aircraft, from the DC-2 to the DC-10/MD-11.

Good story with some photos here: http://travelsinorbit.com/2014/08/13/the-mcdonnell-douglas-md-11-end-of-an-era/
 
Many thanks for the post Ferry. A marvellous write-up from the site. I do hope one is savd for historical reasons.

Graham.
