Time Machine: MD11s

[CX777]

Hello,
Its cold, its winter...listening some itunes and just went thru some of my old folders. Thought share some MD11s...

Yes there was times when one can go to UAL cargo area and just take unobstructed 25R line up shots like this at LAX...

I'd say elegant & sharp looking scheme

Think this scheme lasted for couple of years?

Pure classic eye candy you have there, happen to have any more?

Awesome shots, we still see Aeroflot,Avient,and LH Cargo,out there along with the usual(UPS,FDX),suspects. I miss Alitalia too,especially the 747 Classics.

Thanks guys, more and more I am finding stuff that never knew I clicked! Though some are slides or prints with little processing they do come out better that I expected.
Well heres few of the remaining from my MD11 folder...

Just love the KLM Blue...

These are the only MD-11's I could find from my film days(keeping in mind these were all manually focused with a Nikon FM2 and either a 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5D or 70-210 f/4-5.6D Nikkor)
