Have any of you flew on the MD 11. I think its a great aircraft. A very comfortable one, and it has a great lay out also. Flew with Swissair on it. But sadly only a few MD 11s are left…..still major operators are Swissair and Korean i think, Lufthans has a quite a few MD 11F. What are your thoughts about the MD 11? I think Swissair also were facing them out for the A340-600….but the orders must be dlayed at the moment seeing the position of the airline.

RE: MD 11
In August 1998 I flew on a World Airways MD-11 which was being operated for Monarch on the Florida & Caribbean routes. I flew the return flight to Sanford, Orlando in it. I found it to be extremely dirty and I hated every moment. Although as I’ve said before it’s the airlines which should be blamed for this, not the aircraft or manufacturers.
On the return flight I was put off the aircraft again, because while I was in Florida the Swissair MD-11 Crash in Canada happened, and there had and it had been all over the news in Florida. I wouldn’t usually mind, but it was being blamed then on the aircrafts wiring.
