Isn't FedEx snatching up all the MD-11s it can find these days ?

Maybe FedEx crashes enough DC-10/MD-10/MD-11s that they could use some replacements. IIRC, FedEx has had 4 hull losses in the past 7 years, not including their Cessna losses. Not all were 10s or 11s, but at least the Newark flip and recent Memphis burn-out were. I doubt they could survive as a passenger airline with that record.

Why would they want to get rid of the MD-11? At about 8,300 miles, it is one of the longest range aircraft in service now. "DC7SevenSeas" wrote in message om... Flight 55, ATL-NRT. Returns as flight 56, then service switches to a 777.

EWR flip (quite similiar to the China Airlines / Mandarian Airlines MD-11 that flipped) MEM burn-out Tallahassee - 727 down short of runway What was the fourth one? The one in Tallahassee was earlier this year as well, wasn't it? Steve

You forgot the MD-11 that overshot the runway and landed in the bay.

At about 8,300 miles, it is one of the longest range aircraft in service now. Probably for the same reason I'm not buying a Crown Victoria.

It doesn't have a high command, or high security, or a high budget. The army that can defeat terrorism does battle quietly, clearing minefields and vaccinating children. It undermines military dictatorships and military lobbyists. It subverts sweatshops and special interests. Where people feel powerless, it helps them organize for change, and where people are powerful, it reminds them of their responsibility." -- Author Unknown
