@@Dreamskater100 Become a licensed FAA Aircraft Dispatcher and work for an Airline or Cargo Company then you can jumpseat all the time. You are required at least once a year to get a takeoff and a landing in the aircraft you are qualified to dispatch. So if the company you work for flys different aircraft you get to jumpseat on each. I have been fortunate in my career to have jumpseat on a lot of aircraft.
+Marcos Paulo Sorry. For there to be beauty, there must be excellence. This airplane, or rather the DC-10, same plane with different name, is know in our industry is "The Scud." Named after the missile. You sort of point it and hope it will fall somewhere near the target. Some of the design and manufacturing problems of the DC-10 were addressed in the MD-11, but too late to save its reputation for shoddy execution, corner cutting, defective planning, difficult maintenance. It could have been a good plane, it had the potential. Greed and incompetence doomed it.
I get to see this DC-11 a few times per week here in Guadalajara. It comes here and then it goes to Memphis By coincidence it flies above my house and it's not hard to see it, the sound it makes is amazing
This is one of the most beautiful Airplane videos I have seen. You are truly an artist capturing these beautiful machines. Loved the beginning when you can only see the tail engine at 0:11
A great three-holer in full swing, fantastic and also love those fall collored trees in the background. The light was just perfect to let this angel shine.
What great vidieo! I was the Captain on this flight. I noticed you as we taxied out with your camera. It was a beautiful day in Manchester and you captured our take off better than I have ever seen. I still think the Mad Dog is a great aircraft. Thanx for posting this Boston Airborne. ps, the bump on the nose is part of our HUD system and a new addittion.
I figured you all saw me! Glad you stumbled across my video. That was one sweet piece of heavy metal you flew in. Great take off roll and you only used 5,000 feet of runway; show off! ;)
Wow, that is an absolutely brilliantly shot video. Lighting, angles, focus, perfect. And even the sound is superb: The engines fading out to the soft birdsong. Am I just in a weirdly over emotional mood, or did anyone else find this video atmospheric and evocative to the point of almost being quite moving?!
This easily became one of my favorite aircraft models. It takes a lot of skill to land it, but it's definitely a beautiful plane. The MD-11 is a really good contender for the first model airplane I'm going to get. Being an aircraft/airport fan, I could totally see an MD-11 model sitting on my shelf one day, displayed proudly for all to see.
I love watching these guys take off an land every day at the world hub, i love working around the MD11's they are so beautiful, but holy hell fedex's 777 are huge
They had problems initially, but they have surely been worked out by now. He problems they had are all ancient history now. There are still foreign operators flying pax around in these things. The Mad Dog is one of the finest birds in service, with one of the best service records in aviation history. They have racked up millions of hours, and if they weren't reliable, one really couldn't paint "The World On Time" on the side. Great video. Been trying to capture one like this for a long time. I
I'm so glad you were there to catch it for us! I drove there after the gym, but I was way too late. I can just hear you now. "Holy crap! He's coming right at me!"
Been ages since I've last been to an airport, but still remember that one of the 1st things to see (and so iconic at that) was that gigantic vertical stabilizer with an engine on it, it's amazing. Sadly didn't see one taking off or landing tho, hope next time I'm at an airport (who knows when... got no money to travel after all) I see one.
Man, check out that view at 0:58. Love those humongous windows, it seems like it'd feel like flying a fish bowl. What a very, very lucky group of men those FedEx pilots are!
My son who is in the US Air Force upon landing congratulated the captain for such a smooth landing. The captain replied, "I would like to take credit but this landing but this was done by computer".
I see planes take off everyday many times but this is so beautiful! Both the pilots' and the camera man work, wow, amazing! Almost didn't use the runway :D (That's Fedex!!!) And you can even hear the birds singing in the background.
Amazing footage and sound man! I love MD-11 aircrafts! Whoa whoa whao! It so magnificent to watch it liftoff the rwy and up it goes! LIked! Stunning video mate!
Me and my friend were watching this and we were in aw of this outstanding video. Crystal clear footage every time. My rating: 11 out of 10. Your video deserves a bonus :)
Excellent video quality. Two of the best flights I ever took in my life were on similar aircraft: an all too short flight on a Nat'l. Airlines DC-10 ('72) from Miami to Tampa and a night flight from Nashville to Miami on a Delta Lockheed L-1011 ('92).
In my opinion, the MD11 is still one of the most beautiful airliners..
absolutely 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@alexanderdrumsandguitar3464 md11? not at all
@@Snipurss lol ok. so many of them have crashed. they are just as bad as the dc-10
Indeed the DC 10 and ND 11 are incredibly beautiful birds of flight
The fedex on is my favorite
I forwarded this video to the crew that operated this flight that day. They really appreciate the nice job on the video!
Great thing to do!
3ds max That was the most Beautiful and smooth takeoff I’ve ever seen. You guys are so talented, you just make me want to be a pilot more and more. :)
That sucker must’ve been empty!
@3ds max no md11 pilot has the username 3ds max and a cover pic of a bunch of asses lmao
3ds max you’re awesome sir/ma’am. Kudos to all of you!!!
This is probably the best MD11 vid on youtube.
agreed
+Mikey Likes it double agreed.
Yep
pourindiesel Jesús love you
No thanks
At 2:20 the sunlight reflects in such a way that it outlines where the passenger windows used to be. What a beautiful airplane!
Good eyes!
So it used to be a passenger plane?

true mate
Good spot!😀
When I worked at Fed Ex (before 9/11), we were able to jumpseat in the cockpits. I got a few chances to be in an MD11 cockpit--really cool experience!
I can think of another incident with Fed Ex that would have changed the ability to jump seat.
Religion of peace accomplished what that rogue pilot did not. Just facts, m'man.

How wonderful. I did it once in 1992. I was on Standby to Edinburgh, Scotland and they offered me the jumpseat. Was amazing.
Also, what was your job? I would love to do something like that now.

I see em all the time. They fly over my house coming from runways going north. They are so loud!
I live in Memphis btw
Gorgeous? Abso-bloody-lutely!!! What a magnificently graceful machine!
I just couldn't help but to say it loud that this is the best shot and I always love that MD 11 and other classic AIRCRAFTS. 🙌🙌👍
Wow awesome, beautiful.......cool hearing the birds at the end.......adds to the whole moment.

You’re not alone, this video was an experience
Ha! 10 years since I posted that comment. Still the best take off video on the Internet..
Fantastic footage of a great aircraft. This video is so good, you can clearly see the wheels still spinning just after liftoff.
nothing beats a high quality video of a trijet with an amazing backdrop
Used to work on the ramp for Ups and we got Md11’s on the daily . I can tell it apart just from the sound . Such a Beautiful powerful bird

I adore the MD11. Beautiful, just beautiful. Fantastic video!!😎👍🏻
It always looks grumpy
Wireline no it always looks beautiful
Maurits Veen both
Wireline what both?
That's because it's grumpy
Look at the cockpit windows. It makes the plane look grumpy. It is still a beautiful plane, that's why he said both.

One of the coolest looking planes imo
These flying truck drivers did a great job. So did the camera man. Two thumbs up. (only because that's the most thumbs I have)
I love the "WOOSH" a plane makes when it takes off. So satisfying!
I had my hands on all 200 wingsets at mdcan,,,,great memories!!
Wonderful photography! Thank you!
Stunning...one of the top UA-cam videos I've seen in any genre, ever....
What camera are you using? The quality is incredible!
Brendan Jackson still wondering..
me too.....its only been 3 years....I got time......lol
Looks to be good backlighting. The sun is behind him so it's highlighting the plane and giving the camera a good thing to focus on
I think he used an SX50hs for this
Beautiful MD-11 video. Like the takeoff and engine sounds
I'm so glad you were there to catch it for us! I drove there after the gym, but I was way too late. I can just hear you now. "Holy crap! He's coming right at me!"
The McDonnell Douglas MD-11F is my favorite Aircraft in the FedEx Fleet!! What a beautiful Aircraft!! 🇺🇸🛫

excellent photography and sound; a joy to watch.
Awesome vid of such a powerful bird!
Best video of the md-11 💯
Beautiful! Just listen to the background sound of birds chirping as she makes her turn.... Wonderful.
Derek Bell +those "birds" are likely like added sound effects. Too perfect.
They're not added,they're real.
Chirping birds at the end: hold my beer
kingstonvaliu Yeah I think they were like “damn that was badass!”
wow Amazing probably the best Md11 video from internet tnx
This video does a great job showing the size and the power of the MD-11.
The design of a real airliner!
That's one beautiful bird!
Excellent video - taxiing and departure! And wonderful low-light lighting.....Bravo!
This is as stated, even nearly four years later. Great vid.
The title deserves what you watch.
Really gorgeous!
Man, check out that view at 0:58. Love those humongous windows, it seems like it'd feel like flying a fish bowl. What a very, very lucky group of men those FedEx pilots are!
My office for 16 years. Yes I was a lucky man.
The way the engine noise slowly fades to the sound of birds chirping is surreal.
Love the sound of those engines. That buzz saw as it rotates.
We usually frequent the Manchester NH Airport view park quite often.
Great video
Oh my this is totally a queen aircraft,beautiful aircraft.This is a very good take-off from don boothe!I praise you,Captain of this flight!
Don't think anything beats one of these lovelies taking off.
this is the best Take Off Video i ever saw
i never tire of this camera work. just a stunning t/o video. bravo!
This is a 9 out of 10 video!....i love it.....
i get goosebumps from it....gorgeous.
md-11 and dc-10 are one of my favourite type of airplane!!! good job!!!!!!!
Such a beautiful aircraft!
Awesome camera. The color saturation is perfect. In full screen and 1080p was like being there.
0:12 hello there :p
My son who is in the US Air Force upon landing congratulated the captain for such a smooth landing. The captain replied, "I would like to take credit but this landing but this was done by computer".

Also, What was your job? That's the kind of work I'd like. Thanks!
👌
Mmm. Love me some MD-11
Amen!
That balance of the three engines' placement is perfect. What a beautiful bird.
That's one of the best takeoff vids I've seen.
This video lives up to its namesake! It is an absolutely gorgeous takeoff! Great and awesome job!
What a quick takeoff roll! Had to be empty. Great work on this capture...
Doubtful it was empty but certainly was light on fuel for the short flight to Memphis.
I see planes take off everyday many times but this is so beautiful! Both the pilots' and the camera man work, wow, amazing! Almost didn't use the runway :D (That's Fedex!!!) And you can even hear the birds singing in the background.
Olya Niki +doubt they are real birds. probably sound effects.
Awesome vid of the tri-holer. One of the best on UA-cam.
Amazing footage and sound man! I love MD-11 aircrafts! Whoa whoa whao! It so magnificent to watch it liftoff the rwy and up it goes! LIked! Stunning video mate!
wow just beautiful and love the sound from those engines!

This may be the most stunning takeoff video I've ever seen!
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
The opening shot is simply perfection.
Just fantastic! Love this plane, love the close up shots of the pilots in the beginning and great close up of the take off. Five huge thumbs up!!! :)
I love the DC-10 FedEx planes, they look so intimidating.
Stunning photography of a great plane
Timing is everything! Great position! Great light ! Glad I watched it!
Yep my same thoughts.
I agree.
Gorgeous! I love watching those Heavies Lift off. Great Video!
