That MD11 looks cool. I was stuck in PNS the other day waiting on the weather and TFRs and was talking to a retired Delta MD11 captain (don't know his name) who now flies a Barron. Anyhow, he was talking about how in the sim session that he did after the Swissair MD11 crash in Halifax he was given the same scenario and was able to land it. The sim instructor was suprised because so far nobody had been able to get it on the runway. He asked how it did it and the guy said he just side slipped it. I didn't know you could sideslip such a big plane, but I guess you can. Anyhoo.... the the pics look good.
