Its a pitty the MD-11 didn't reach its full potential, it had a lot of things going for it in terms of technology.

But it was an awesome plane as a passenger! HUGE cabin! The IFE system in the Swissair business class was awesome! And the POWER! It was like a rocket! And the pilots often used the spoilers during descent! :-* :-*

Who cares if a few hundred people died here and there, it was the first modern comfortable longrange 350 seat airliner ;) And that IFE system in Swissair Business kicked ass! :-*

Pitty they got the wiring wrong. :( I would still like to travel on an MD-11, there's still a (slim) chance I suppose.

You might want to hurry then. KLM is the last passenger operator, and has recently ordered A330-300 to replace them. Apart from that, you can sign up with the US Army. They fly their troops to the ME on World Airways MD-11s.
