The Big and Brown Machine | UPS MD-11F

Ohhhhh man where do I start… I’m slowly starting to get the hang of Infinite Flight again, I joined UPSVirtual (absolutely amazing and helpful people), things are starting to look up for me. Just need to tweak my flying abilities. Time for a real spill on this flight.

People say the MD-11 is the world’s biggest aviation bust. I beg to differ my friend… This airplane is absolutely one of the best looking and most unique in its time. Ever since I was a little kid, I used to see many of these flying out of KMIA and KFLL and always wondered why it always drew my attention… Is it the Tri-Engine setup? Is it the absolute massive size of the plane? Is it because of the things it has delivered and shipped across the world? It still hasn’t dawned on me till this day. I can’t even get tired of looking at it!

I flew out of the most native Airport to me, Columbia Metro in Cayce, SC (KCAE), which is a UPS hub and flew to UPS World Port at Muhammad Ali In’t (KSDF) in Louisville, Kentucky. Very simple and short flight, great way to break in to UPSVirtual.
