Boeing MD-11 (N597FE)

Nice shot!!

Beautiful Lighting John

Thank You Fujiwara and Ken!

Definitely not an MD-10. Note the winglets. Erik’s info is correct.

I worked for McDonnell Douglas from 1990-1994.
This girl here was one of the last I had physical contact with. I worked line numbers 450-551.

This beauty here is line 537. I work the East and West ramps, Final Assembly and Customer Pre-Flight. Damn glad to see she's still in service.

Although she was originally an American Airlines Jet. Delivery to AA 3/93 - So First flight would have been roughly in the two months prior.

Proud, you bet.

If you do the math on the planes age... I am 63 now.

May all your landings be smooth.
