Finnair MD-11 takeoff from Beijing

Finnair`s MD-11 [OH-LGC] taking off from Beijing Capital International Airport, PEK/ZBAA.
Our first attempt was cancelled after ATC took back the take-off clearance because another plane was still on the same runway.
Taxiing and holding 10 minutes whereupon CF6-80 engines started their real job.

Goodbye Finnair MD-11 :-(

[speedomaniac00]

I went to Osaka with a MD11 of Finnair. It's a noisy but very comfortable plane. And the Finnair's crew is very nice (sorry for my lousy English, I'm Swiss)

@speedomaniac00 When it comes to McDonnell-Douglas planes, I prefer the MD-11 to the DC-10 due to the number of major air disasters involving the latter. Except for the ill-fated Swissair Flight 111 on Sept. 2, 1998, there have been less accident/incidents involving the MD-11 than the DC-10. Overall, the newer MD-11 seems to be a major improvement over the DC-10 in my opinion.

P.S., your English is FAR from lousy.

@ImmortalSynn Thanks

@jefferpocketrock

That's partly because in the event of an aborted takeoff and evacuation, due specifically to a fire, they don't want any glare from artificial light to confuse passengers as to what side the fire might be on.

when i travel from miami to cali colombia before takeoff in the airbus-320 they always turn the ceiling lights off BUT NICE VID i was wondering WHY?

[volcomdude56]
