LTU International was an airline that operated from 1955 to 2009 out of Düsseldorf until a merger with Air Berlin (R.I.P.). The MD-11 was operated in their fleet from 1991 to 1998 on routes from Düsseldorf to destinations such as Izmir, Puerto Plana, and Punta Cana. There were 4 aircraft of this type in their fleet. This specific aircraft (D-AERB) later served Swiss, Air Namibia, and currently flies for UPS as N283UP.
This aircraft has a very unique and colorful livery and history, and as such I feel it would be well-represented in Infinite Flight, especially seeing as the aircraft itself is still flying.
Disclaimer: I’m not sure if the mods closed the old thread yet, but I did get permission to make a new one.
You have my vote, LTU was one of the most underrated airlines. They were the first airline I ever flown with and sparked my love for aviation. I will always be grateful to this airline for giving me the aviation bug.
Thanks! (I’m out of likes) This aircraft was actually the first 1:400 scale mode I ever bought, probably some 5-odd years ago. I saw it sitting on my shelf and made me remember what I was going to do. Also, that’s really cool.
