Great filming boss, does the MD-10 make regular visits there? Because I'm going to England in a few years :P

@BigBearVids The MD-10 is retrofit cockpit upgrade to the DC-10 and a re-designation to MD-10. The upgrade included an Advanced Common Flightdeck (ACF) used on the MD-11.[32] The new cockpit eliminated the need for the flight engineer position and allowed common type rating with the MD-11. This allows companies such as FedEx Express, which operate both the MD-10 and MD-11, to have a common pilot pool for both aircraft. (Source Wikipedia).......... Thanks for verifying

@TheFsJunkie ► Just Google MD-10. Its a DC-10 alright→ But Cockpit and (More) modified to use only 2 crew members(-1) and aline with the MD-11. So the ONLY company that flies them has cross qualified crews. Simple, really. BUT it can can be tricky for crews who forget what they're flying-- DC\MD-10 or MD-11)..as was the case in the fatal FDX MD-11 crash, years ago in Japan. They act -- and handle- very differently.!

It is such a cool aircraft. A "bit" noisy, but what the heck.
(I think Olympic Air [Greece] had these ones just some seven years ago.)
Nice video, as always!

@ouzodaki Thanks! There's nothing wrong with too much jet engine noise :)

@justus0106 Almost the same aircraft. MD-10 is a slightly modified version of the classic DC-10.
