Hi friends!
Many of you might have recognized that this october the last commercial flying MD-11 is going to be retired. KLM was one of the last MD-11 operators still using this magnificent aircraft! Since a few years I had the strong wish to be on the MD-11 again soon. When I heard that it will be retired soon I didn't hesitate long and booked a flight with KLM. During the booking process I found out that my dates would fit with the final flight, so this is how I made it onto that last flight!
And of course I want to share with you my experience! Unfortunately this was a full night flight, which makes it even harder to get a good report about it! But I tried my best.
Initially I was supposed to be on another MD-11 flight from Amsterdam to Montreal, but due to bad weather conditions in Amsterdam I got rebooked onto Air France through Paris, what was a really disappointing experience! I lost my MD-11 dayflight window seat, had to fly through Charles de Gaule, no window seat in a crappy old B747 cabin, bad french attitude, Air France managed to lose my luggage and so on... all in all a day to forget!
So I was really looking forward to this last MD-11 flight after not getting onto my outbound MD-11. KLM did a great job on making this flight a special event, they offered a buffet, did some entertaining at the gate and so on. The KLM crew did a really great job and I would definitely book through KLM again in the future.(nope, never again Air France). Unfortunately KLM and Air France work together really close..
Well I hope you get a good look into this last flight in my video. I did it a bit longer than usual. Enjoy!

Hey Amandeuce! I am a Montreal Planespotter and I can give you some info on this last flight. So, the reason that the captain spooled up to engines for 30 secs before taking off was for show. Here in Montreal, we have a giant planespotting community, and through Facebook, have met and known the crews of KLM's MD-11. We have met them in Montreal, too. When this plane landed for the last time in Montreal, hours before you boarded it, it was wet outside, and the captain left the thrust reversers on full for a good minute, to put on a good show! Then, at takeoff, the captain requested to hold short of the runway for a minute to give spotters a chance to photograph this plane at night. Then, he spoiled the engines to MAXIMUM thrust, which almost never happens, just to show what the MD-11 can do one last time. That's the reason you climbed so fast. KLM put on a great show for the last flight, and the whole Montreal PlaneSpotting community would like to thank them. On a side note, in your report, I saw some of the people from Holland I met in Montreal, who came for the last flight also! Great report, and I hope you enjoyed Montreal! Safe travels! -Dan

@amandeuce 9 лет назад

Hey Dan! Thank you so much for that clear information, now I know better! I really enjoyed Montreal and Quebec, even though it was cold as fluff, but I survived ;) Hope all is well over there and I'm certainly glad you liked my report!

@jbrian80 8 лет назад

KLM had been loyal to Douglas to the end. Douglas aircraft are built to last, but they rushed DC-10 trying to catch up with Lockheed L-1011, and they rushed the MD-11 because of upcoming models from Boeing 777 and Airbus 330/340 both launched in the late 80's. DC-10 suffered with design flaws, MD-11 suffered performance shortfall in range and fuel burn.

@karlp8484 8 лет назад

stickmagnet. Almost right. The DC10 was, like the B747, a plane of the late 60's. Mc Donalds rushed the DC10 into service using 1950's standards to beat the B747 into production. Which they did. And over a thousand people died as a result. Would you fly on a DC 10?

@mifthasadik8703 7 лет назад

Karl P my grandfather was a Biman Bangladesh DC-10 pilot

@alexphillips4663 7 лет назад

The DC-10 has a safety record comparable to other widebody airliners of the era. It finished its years passenger service as a high-quality, well-regarded aircraft that was a favorite of pilots and passengers alike. There were some design issues early on, but they were all corrected, and the DC-10 went on to have an above-average safety record from that point forward. I would have had no problem flying on one during the years it was still in service. The cargo door incidents that initiated doubts about the DC-10s safety were not unique. The DC-10s cargo door latching mechanism was flawed, but the Boeing 747 shared the same flaw (United Airlines flight 811), so it's not really accurate to single the DC-10 out with regard to the 747. The crash of American 191 in Chicago was caused by improper maintenance techniques that were contrary to MD maintenance procedures, and the crash of United 232 in Sioux Falls was a function of a defect in the General Electric CF6 jet engine, which was also used on other aircraft, including the Airbus A300, Boeing 747, 767, and the MD-11. A catastrophic, uncontained failure of a jet engine could have brought any of them down. Additional safeguards were added to protect against the loss of all hydraulic fluid after the incident, but as always in aviation, aircraft safety advances one accident at a time. To the best of my knowledge, McDonald's never produced an aircraft. Burger King may have, though; I will have to check my records.

@AviationNut 7 лет назад

Karl P It's McDonnell, not McDonald's. LMAO. One makes aircraft and the other makes hamburgers, big difference all though McDonald's did give away toy airplanes to kids in their happy meals sometimes.

Holding the brakes for 30 - 45 seconds and applying thrust just before takeoff is an Ice removal procedure thats performed when ice or near icing temps are present. It's done to help shake any ice off the engine cowling, etc. Awesome vid, awesome plane!

@jeancharleshubert 8 лет назад

Hi, i just stumbled upon your great video. I, with a LOT of spotters were on the ground for the departure. Montreal spotters had a love affair with KLM's MD-11, we got to see here everyday ! We don't see on the video, but just before the plane turns from the taxiway to the active runway, near the blue and gray hangars, a lot of spotters were there and we knew the pilot and asked if it could hold the plane still for some seconds for some long exposures pictures before take-off roll. In the ATC audio from that flight, you can hear the captain request a moment to stop and thank all Montreal Spotters :) at 7:07, you can see a flash go off, at the bottom left, that is where the spotting park is located and about 30 people, me included, took pictures and waved. And yes, KLM MD-11 climbed steep and fast, that's why i called them the "Dutch rocket" :) Here is the picture i took of that historic moment flic.kr/p/oSJxi5 great work !

oh men... i remember when i was jung, we always traveled with the md11 by Varig to brazil Sao Paulo. On this beautiful aircraft i became the dream to be a Pilot. with 6 years i build a Cockpit in a TV Carton, With 3 takeoff levers, played on this BOX every day, until my mum threw it to the waste :). with 12 years i become my first Flightsimulator FS98, on the next generations of flight simulators, i learned everything about the 737, thanks by PMDG an software for you home flightsimulator and my cousin a real 737 Pilot. With 17 i started my first real flight experience with an Glider in Löchgau germany, but after 80 Hr and 5 years of flight, i knew, my decision that the MD11 gave me on my youngest years is so big, i have to become the Commercial Pilot license. Fly the Boeing 737, only this whill give me Peace on my live. But the curse was to expensive in Germany... after one year thinking about my life, what will i do with this one way ticket? can i leave in peace without being a Pilot? What for beautiful moments i remembered from the MD11, approaching Sao Paulo on the Night, sitting on the Wing, felling every wind change, turbulences, see the World on peace, Cars peoples being smaler on the takeoff until desapers and the contrary on the Landing. This gave me force to take may desission! with 23 years i moved to Brazil. today in a few months i will take my Comercial Pilot License. Thank you MD11, for the Dream that you me give

Little did I know that I was experiencing a unique part of aviation history.

I do have to say that the MD-11 is an Awsome looking Jet- I was never on that but i was on the sister plane the DC-10 back in the 70s .. I love those Tri-stars

A huge honor for you to be on the last ever MD-11 commercial flight! KLM did a great job in everything especially their meals and service. The special certificate certifying your participation in this flight made it even more memorable and one that you'll keep for generations. Yeah, read your description and how could they anyhow rebook you on Air France on your outbound flight just because of bad weather. It makes no sense to me anyway.

I used to love these as the DC-10 flown on the domestic routes in the U.S. My first flight from Boston to LAX in 1975 was aboard a brand new one. And my first time in the air. I was 14, so it was all new.

I grew up in West Africa, and the DC10 was the default airplane for going to Europe. British Caledonia, KLM, Swissair, were the major airways for my region and they all used DC-10

Thank you for documenting your fav plane experience and sharing with us! Seems like a planeload of av geeks on this flight! I love the announcement - it is so special. I quite like how KLM's main courses are served in rectangular containers rather than squarish. That landing is so special! Awesome water salute too. Thank you very much for sharing, L! I thoroughly enjoyed this one

hey G. thanks a lot for watching, I'm glad you liked it! Yes, and I liked the "fake" china colors and presentation of the menu, looked very good and it tasted great as well! KLM sure is a great airline! Hope all is well over in Singapore! You're busy traveling around I see ;)
