Birthday Milestone For An Aircraft

[Aharon]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Today is MD-11's thirty-six year birthday after its debut on 10 January 1990. My native country's EL AL had 2 MD-11ERs in service for about 2 years. I am presenting you recreation of real life EL AL MD-11ER flight as seen below

Presenting a nice charter flight from EPKK Krakow John Paul II International Airport located 7 miles west of the city centre of Krakow in southern Poland to EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol located 5 nautical miles southwest of Amsterdam, Holland.

Nice one Aharon, amazing aircraft and a nifty modern looking livery that's aged well (haven't seen that one before)

I remember that model.....did CLS do an MD-11 or just the DC-10...They were great models.

Splitpin,

Great question. CLS never made MD-11 but but CLS is famous for DC-10s. It is actually PMDG that makes payware MD-11. It is unfortunate that PMDG stopped selling MD-11s.

I always loved the CLS A310/300 and their MD8x series, many flights in those back in the FS9/2004 days.
