DC10 and MD11 trijets in action. 

Miss the DC10 and MD11 classic airlines liveries. I started my career as a young aerospace engineer and got to briefly worked on the MD11, Rohr Industries San Diego ❤

Always had a soft spot for the DC-10. Such a good looking airplane. As an Aussie it was rare to travel in one as Qantas never operated it. Ironically while on a trip to the US in 1989 we arrived to the airport for our LAX to HNL leg and learned that Qantas pilots were on strike over some pay dispute back home. We were then put onto a United flight which was a DC-10.

Back in 1977 I rode a DC-10 for the first time. It was on a flight from JFK to London on a carrier named Overseas National Airways, or ONA, now long defunct. This particular plane was all but brand new. I happened to be sitting in seat that was line of sight right along the leading edge of the left wing. Upon climbout from JFK the crew was required to perform a very sharp climbing turn as a 'noise abatement' maneuver. The maneuver was so sharp that it caused a huge upward curve to the very stout wing, even causing the still extended leading edge slats to curve with it. Two years later there was that infamous accident in Chicago where the left engine detached and rolled over the top of the wing causing the plane to crash. Of course the cause had nothing to do with the strength of the plane, but turned out to be an improper method of detaching the engine for maintenance. After that accident I remembered that maneuver on the ONA flight and wondered how much strain, even under normal circumstances, the engine mount was under at that moment.

MD-11 DC-10. Built like tanks. Is it any wonder so many of the MD-11 originally produced are still in service as freighters. Amazing engineering.👏👏😳😳

Those were awesome looking jetliners ❤️❤️❤️

Had the DVD of that,the up close shots,are excellent,and the detail is great! My dad flew for PanAm,and Oyster Bay branch ran right in back of my home! So I Aviation on the front door,and railroads out the back! Plus construction equipment all around,so an interesting childhood!! Thanks for your always excellent work!! Thanks 😊!

5:14 - Similar plane involved in Swissair Flight 111 (1998)

I was thinking to myself “ no way in hell can this be current”. And I checked the intro and yes more than 20 years ago. The DC10 only having one major accident in around 1979. A technician snapped a motor mount and didn’t tell anyone. It crashed trying to take off. The engine literally dropped of and the miss balance crashed it.

I really miss the tri-jets. I think they were WAY ahead of there time in terms of appearance. And are still very viable in today's commercial aviation market. If they had just revamped them with bigger engines and more modern interiors. Especially, the MD-11's. The can easily compete with 787 and A330 in terms of size.

Amazing stuff!!

Unas grandes y hermosas maquinas.con casi 50 años siguen volando.espectaculares.

2:10 ese es el DC 10 -10 son los primeros DC10 con esos motores que rugian al momento de acelerar para el despegue

Wow the Hawaiian Air dc-10 too!

The -40. The rarest Douglas in the world

Other subscribers great video 📹 mate big like from 🇩🇴

The DC 10 sounds like a military jet with the turbine whine

Important Documentation of a bygone Era of TriJets.....

Great videos,any L-1011 videos?

This had to be somewhere or sometime in the 90’s era.

It's so sad that these beauties are gone, it's also sad that most regional turboprops like the original Dash 8 series at 8:53.

Wasn't that the AA DC-10 incident following 🛫 Takeoff from ORD? As I recall didn't the engine drop into a Trailer Park 🏞️ near the Airport?

I miss the majestic tri-jets. While I prefer the L1011 to the DC-10/MD-11, aside from the 777, the current generation of twin jet wide bodies is just not as awesome to watch in action as those big, imposing tri-jets.

Pesawat yang melegenda, selain B747..

If there was a commercial airplane racing. The trijet would be the most ideal setup

On some of the shots, you cut away before we saw the lift-off. That is the best part! Don't cut away until the plane is airborne.

What else was taking off at 8:00? Sounds like a fighter jet.

16:55 - Horn - on one of the planes? lol

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I miss those trijets😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢🥺😩😫 I am I am calming down💀I am dead

Beautiful butter landings 🧈 ✈️ I wish Boeing could bring back those beautiful tri jets 😢

Finding a DC-10-40F is pretty much impossible to find

Blz😊

Marvelous airplane. I hated to see them go away. =PC=

DC-10 - самый красивый самолёт в мире! Мой любимый!

I'm so upset that trijets aren't used anymore... all just because of stupid fuel costs-

Loss of hyd hydraulic

C'est mieux ces dc10 Mieux que 320 321
