Bye Bye My Dearest... Last Scheduled Commercial Passenger KLM MD-11 Flight from Amsterdam

Today was a special as well as sad day for many aviation enthusiasts and in particular for all MD-11 lovers (including me). KLM operated the last scheduled commercial passenger flight ever with an MD-11. KLM flight 671 to Montreal - scheduled 15:25 local time - was flown with PH-KCE Audrey Hepburn wearing the special '95 years' sticker. The MD-11 has a special place in my heart as I flown many times with them between Amsterdam and Aruba, as well as from Amsterdam to Oporto, Lisbon and back to Amsterdam. The weather.... well, grey, autumn, sad... Fortunately though I am one of the lucky ones to be on one of the 3 special farewell MD-11 flights next 11 of November.

Cheers to this beautiful, elegant and gracious lady of the sky...



















Dedicated to all MD-11 crew and all fellow MD-11 lovers.
