MD-11 celebrates 30 years of service

s9204608 — 2023-08-31 14:34:41 UTC

the last ever MD-11 was on its last flight on April 1998, to me that's too early for end of production, but it is what it is. the MD-11 is a Tri-engine jet that was first built in 1990 and ended passenger sevice after in October 26, 2014 and is in retirement or scrapped. but the cargo variant is still in service and operated by UPS and Fedex (Federal Express)

Hurricane Idalia is a category 3 hurricane that touched land and DEVASTATED Florida, Savannah GA, And Probably hit Myrtle Beach, but when it reached South Carolina, it broke up! and became a Tropical Storm. Some planes were in the air at the time Hurricane Idalia hit. hopefully they didn't stall or other stuff like that

On March 27, 1977, Two 747 Jetliners were heading for Las Palmas Tenerife, one a Pan American 747-100, the other a KLM 747-200.

Stop hating on the MD-11 and DC-10 for what they are

s9204608 — 2023-12-14 18:07:30 UTC

Okay, so we know the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and DC-10, but many people hate it for being a "Death Chamber (DC)" or "Machine of Death (MD)". the incidents of the MD-11 were caused by Pilot error or poor maintenance, even the MD-11 is safer than the Boeing 727, which keep in mind has 116 incidents. so please stop hating on it and move on.
