Looking forward to another flight with the KL trijet..

I prefer them more than the B777 or A330.

I love their shape...^
Does anyone know exactly when is KL going to replace for good all of it's MD-11's? For sure it won't be this year seeing the delivery dates for the new long-haul aircraft...

IDoes anyone know exactly when is KL going to replace for good all of it's MD-11's? According to cabin crew union VNC (http://www.vnconline.nl/agenda/flash/285) (in Dutch) the MD11s will leave the fleet sooner than planned, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain spare parts.

Makes you wonder how FedEx and UPS manage to keep their fleets of 59 and 38 aircraft in the air.

They probably buy used parts. With the KLM birds in the junk yard that will be easier.

If I get any notice of last passenger MD-11 flight ever I'll queue up to be on it!

Thanks
