March 10, 201313 yr Lufthansa Cargo MD-11F around the World in 66 Hours. An interesting video showing how these old freighters are true work horses and how multiple crews will fly this MD-11 around the world carrying all kinds of cargo. For you sim pilots that experience these annoying overspeed warnings due to sudden wind shifts, and slow climb rates, you'll see it happens in real life too. The next time you simulate a freighter flight, best take along an extra package of coffee. The coffee will be used, but not always for drinking. :lol: RJ
March 10, 201313 yr Interesting. Didn't know they flew around the world like that. Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.
March 10, 201313 yr Very interesting, thanks for that. Really puts it into perspective when we complain about 4 days away from home, yet they have to spend 15!!! :Shocked: Regards, Ró. Rónán O Cadhain.

March 11, 201313 yr That was a neat video. Really puts into perspective what it takes to get it all done. Loved the coffee trick...whatever works! That MD-11 doesn't get much of a break Chris Sunseri
March 11, 201313 yr Author Interesting. Didn't know they flew around the world like that. Ditto. Never knew Lufthansa operated so far from home base on such a regular basis. Very interesting, thanks for that. Really puts it into perspective when we complain about 4 days away from home, yet they have to spend 15!!! :Shocked: Regards, Ró. Could not agree more with your statement Ró. We sometimes complain about minor things in life. Great video- Very good to learn that coffee has multiple uses That was a neat video. Really puts into perspective what it takes to get it all done. Loved the coffee trick...whatever works! That MD-11 doesn't get much of a break I enjoyed it too. Sometimes you stumble on these nice videos.. RJ
March 12, 201313 yr Cool to see New Zealand on there, a long way from home for those German Pilots. Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
March 12, 201313 yr Nice video. Amazing to think that all that aircraft does is fly the same route 3 times per week! "If you can't solve and equation with calculus, you're not using enough calculus" - A wise friend
