July 4, 201213 yr Sad news my friends: On Monday July 2nd the first of 10 KLM MD11 (PH-KCH) has been retired. The last one will be retired in 2014. Today KLM is the only regular airline that still has sceduled MD11 passenger flights. Other airlines operate them on chartered flights or use the freighter. Happy Landings!Eric Öälders

July 4, 201213 yr From an aesthetic point of view it was really beautiful similar to a Constellation. Roland Schmalzl
July 4, 201213 yr Commercial Member Ahh, bound to happen, They have 777's which hands down beat the md11 in every department Alex Ridge Join Fswakevortex here! YOUTUBE and FACEBOOK
July 4, 201213 yr Except for looks, style and character Gotta love that tail engine, the grace she has, and those huge windows. Kenny Lee"Keep climbing"
July 4, 201213 yr Commercial Member Exactly, who cares about numbers and how much more efficient the 777 is for the bean counter airline management. The MD11 is probably the last tri jet we will see for a very long time, she's a work of art. Do KLM still fly to TNCM? Have been contemplating a little holiday there for a while. Rob Prest
July 4, 201213 yr Do KLM still fly to TNCM? Have been contemplating a little holiday there for a while. Check their timetable. KLM (SkyTeam's PC timetable) doesn't have a M11 flight to St. Marteen. Just an KLM flight AMS-CDG and an AF flight CDG-SXM. Kenny Lee"Keep climbing"
