FedEx MD-11 Gorgeous Takeoff
A uncommon but welcome visitor to quiet little Manchester Regional Airport (KMHT). McDonnell Douglas MD-11(F) / N619FE http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX872 (www.youtube.com) Más...In the interest of continuing the nitpicking... :)
Technically, all of FedEx's DC-10's have been converted to MD-10's for a while now. Regardless of what FlightAware and other tracking sites show, they are no longer proper DC-10's, no longer have Flight Engineer panels, and now have the glass cockpit of the MD-11. There are black "MD-10" stickers on each side of the nose that point this out.

I like flying into Manchester. Nice town! My favorite, of course, is flying the MD11 to Austin, my hometown. I'll send the link to crew on this flight. I'm sure they'll appreciate it. It was a gorgeous day, and a great job on the photography!
I was the Captain that morning. You made my day. 10 years latter and 7 years retired, I still enjoy this video. Thank you
regarding DC-10s, you might pick up a copy of "Destination Disaster" and then perhaps you might just modify your opinion of this disgusting airplane.
