I'm sure many of you have seen this,.. But if not here is a documentary from when we used to do the around the world flights with the MD11, available in both English and German.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing the link.

Very good link. Enjoyed it. Thank you!

very interesting and Intriguing.

love how in Europe you can be 26yrs old and fly an MD-11, 767,A320 or 747.

Why isn't that possible somewhere else?

its just not something very common....In the Caribbean where I am from it can happen..in fact, if you have 250hrs out of flight school you can fly a Dash 8 or ATR and in maybe 2-3 yrs jump to the 737. In the US you are almost always in your 30/40s by the time you get to something as big as an MD-11.

Just had the privilege of seeing the real MD-11's in Frankfurt airport last week (as well as the A380).

It's a nice feeling seeing one, even if it is from the passenger window of another aircraft.

Theoretically you can start flying with 16, so that would make 10 years flight experience.

me too, plus all my flights landed on the new runway, which offers an even better view of town.
