The COVID pandemic did not make it easier to create lovely cockpit movies for our community. With anyone but the operating crew being banned from flying on cargo planes and with the MD-11F fleet being permanently retiring from service at Lufthansa Cargo in October 2021, Captain Axel, Senior First Officer Günter and First Officer Simon stepped up and took the lead for the creation of this fantastic movie about one of LH's last MD-11Fs just before their permanent retirement. The routing Frankfurt - New York JFK - Frankfurt marks the last ever rotation of an LH Cargo MD-11F and so these fascinating three aviators decided to take you on a stunning trip from Germany to NY on their beloved threeholer just before it would have been too late. Enjoy super fun professionals and lots of stories about their beloved aircraft!

I loved how excited the FO was flying the MD11
The best crew I've seen succesfully operating together with passion, authority, and simplicity!! 💯
Thanks for your compliment!
After living in Germany for 4 years, I really enjoyed the German people. They are fun, friendly and polite. This crew is a fine example!
3 perfect gentlemen, in my time it was the tristar, well done guys
Axel, Günter and Simon made me look up Lufthansa I never knew this before but they are based out of Germany. Then it all made sense, of course German precision! That's how it's done right. It's been an honor to watch thank you. At first I thought these pilots we're wasting their talent with cargo. They're so great they should be flying people. But then it dawned on me these pilots have the world by the tail. Only piloting!
Not often when one gets the chance to ride along for an entire flight! This was great. My favorite moment was the clip of the Captain's wife filming the flyover of their home. To watch the contrail and simultaneously know exactly what was going on in the cockpit and who the pilots were was very nice! Well done.
The MD-11 is one of, if not the most beautiful aircraft in my opinion. Great crew!
true
@@henryponnefz1419 my name is John fasto lam a 14 year old boy from Kenya lhave been following the air clips l have learned more about air planes and my dream is to fly the Lufthansa a 380 or747 please when l finish my form 4 come and take me so that I train pilot thanks.
That FO has one of the best radio voices I’ve ever heard, haha.
Great dialogue! Learned much from individuals loving what they do. Rare!
“Everything’s perfect…3 engines… 2 wings… “
Great video.. always enjoy the German pilots
Just superb! What I found to be very unique is the pilot's wife's video footage of the aircraft and the contrails. This has to be the magic moment. I mean, what are the odds that you are piloting a commercial plane and you happen to be flying over your own house!
I GOT HOOKED ON THIS CHANNEL AND THE RIDE ALONGS....BUT THIS CREW WAS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE OF ALL TIME. JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THE GENTLEMEN, THEIR OUTGOING POLITENESS AND PROFESSIONAL PERSONALITIES. MY TYPE OF CREW. JOB WELL DONE AND I HOPE I GET TO SEE 1 OF THEM FLYING AGAIN SOON.
I also enjoyed how Captain Axel had his wife watch for his plane and record it flying over his house. I real nice touch of class.
Thanks a lot! We appreciate you enjoyed watching it. Greets, Axel
My dad retired from the DC-10-30 CF. I worked for same airline in maintenance, and spent many hours sitting behind the Capt. seat enjoy the picture window view of the world. What he describes about that window is true - spectacular. I left Commercial aviation in 1982, and missed a hard life of multiple layoffs & furloughs and having to start at the bottom of another seniority list. But my dad had a wonderful career, literally just 20 hrs as an F/O on a DC-8 before transitioning to Capt. I probably would have had to wait 20 years to transition to the left seat.
But if you love to fly NOW is probably one of the best times in my lifetime to move into airline flying. American is going to hire 2000 pilots next year - my generation is aging out.
What is The MD 11 powerplant I mean engines ????
awesome! im working on building hours atm...should be flying commercially in 3 years
That landing into the sunset was something else.... amazing aircraft and great crew. Hope to see the MD11 around for years to come.
Great crew. Great aircraft. I still occasionally see a MD-11 FedEx flight fly over my home at 5000 ft, on approach to Newark Liberty airport.
Axel and I graduated the same year. Totally different country but same none the less. Class of 98 was great. Congrats on the path you have taken.
wunderschönes Flugzeug mit einer tollen Crew
End of 2021, close to post-pandemic: It is SO nice to have full proof that our Cockpit Aviation Teams are just as Professional, dedicated and NORMAL now, after such a world experience as the 2020-2021 Pandemic; just as they were in what we considered as the normal pre-Pandemic period. It is nice to feel the world can still come back and get on with life as before... even in some of the most precise types of working environments as Airline Piloting. Thank you for such an experience, it felt just as if we were invited into the cockpit for a transatlantic crossing. What a privilege... even if it is only into our head!
I really enjoyed that. Loved how they overflew the Captains house. Really nice of the crew to provide commentary not in their native language too! Beautiful aircraft.
I am studying German but appreciate the pilots conducting the interview in English. Thank you all.
Great to see a group of very experienced and professional people who still clearly love their work!
Three of the nicest men in aviation, what a pleasure watching this video without a pause. Happy retirement Captain. I see these younger men also making Lufthansa proud.
I love this beautiful video, brothers! My father was an engineer, who, while working at McDonnell-Douglas, worked much on the DC-10 and MD-11. Our ethnic heritage is all from Deutschland! Your English is perfect and artful. Thank you for this special video! Dankeschön! 💛🙏🏼
The most beautiful plane in the world.
I am so happy that this video showed up in my CZcams suggestions. As the wife of a retired Flight Test Engineer (the ground type) I am very interested in aviation. The enthusiasm of the flight crew and spectacular videography (photography has been my passion for at least 60 years) made this video one of the best I've ever seen. Thank you all for your wonderful work!
Well done gentlemen
Probably the most beautiful aircraft ever made.
Lucky guys
I appriciate you guys ,you are doing charity at Mothers mercy home , God bless you. Love from Chicago.
It's good to see Foko again, for me this film was one of the most emotional aviation films I have ever seen. It is very sad to say goodbye to the MD11
Can't wait for the MD-11 to come out from Rotatesim for X-Plane 11. It looks like the air and electrical systems are modeled very nicely.
Thanks a lot for showing us the flaps at 50 degrees ! This is simply incredible to see and we then can imagine the drag it may cause ! Thanks a lot
What a great crew...professional, pleasant, and welcoming the whole way. Id love to think any crew who's plane I fly on is half has terrific as this trio was. Good luck in your retirement captain. Thanks for allowing us to fly along.
You are retiring with the plane. Good luck.
What a nice Captain! He sets a relaxed yet professional flightdeck environment, just as it should be 😊
I see how calm and deliberate the pilot describes his passion for flight. Thank you for conveying the enthusiasm of all.
Amazing video. Amazing crew. I loved it. There's nothing like the MD-11 she is a beautiful bird. Sad that last bird was retired with Lufthansa Cargo she will definitely be missed. 😔✈💕
WELL worth the 2+ hours - a great crew, a wonderful aircraft, an amazing flight...
What an absolutely fantastic video. I will miss seeing the Lufthansa MD-11. I really loved listening to all the stories of their burgeoning careers, and their love of the aircraft. Thank you very much! 👏👏👏👏
Doesn’t get better than this group of gentleman flyers.
I'm glad the MD-11 Seen service with such a professional airline like lufthansa, I was happy to see its service throughout the years.
true its also nice to see how the engineering Teams are able to keep her in such good condtion
Please do more videos with this crew. They are awesome and would love to see more of these 3.
Thanks a lot! :-)
Very professional crew...always wanted to know what goes on in the cockpit ...nd they flew to my hometown New York !...Hope they enjoyed there time there..nd had a safe flight back. Thnx for film nd will be watching again...thnx
This is an excellent film, I love the banter with the crew. I also loved hearing their storys.
I thought I would never watch the entire show but once I started I was hooked all the way through.
Excellent show it was well worth watching. Sincerely John
Amazing guys for an amazing aircraft ! Thank you all 💙🤍🖤
The Noise of the MD11 is so calming✈️
It's a DC-10. I'll forever call that plane a DC-10! You wonderful pilots can call that plane a MD-11. But I say DC-10 because I'm old!. Thankyou for posting this. It's a wonderful video to watch. Especially for us "aviation enthusiasts".
I’ve watched this about 4 times and it always gets better. You are all fantastic human beings. I will be supporting you guys and the great causes you represent. Peace ✌️
My first program @ McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) - I remember having customer meetings and some of the crusty DC-10 captains hated the automation, as well as taking the Flight Engineer out of the equation..."I need the First Officer looking for traffic, not playing with a damn computer!" It's still makes me chuckle after all these years. She's a beautiful airplane.
Thank you so much for letting us fly with you Axel, Günter and Simon on this last ever rotation of Lufthansa's MD-11Fs!! Your stories were wonderful to listen to. And thank you for this marvellous production Patrick!
That's so much better than just a brief video of a takeoff or landing. Indeed feels a bit like I had been along for the ride. Thanks for putting this together! 😀
What a joy to watch these three pilots that clearly love what they do. Thanks for bringing us inside the flight deck.
This is my first Air-Clips video view and I am already hooked big time. What a fantastic production and a "public service". I was searching about the last Cargo flight of MD-11 when I came across the channel and will be forever thankful for this content.
What a brilliant aircraft, and demo of the flaps slats was icing on the cake. What a magnificent beast this was during her times and still is. We had an MD10 flying under FedEx and sadly it was retired and replaced with a 767 (still a beautiful bird).
Great job guys. Dreaming of flying the MD-11 someday…
Fantastic! Enjoyed the personal stories as well as the high production value-particularly capturing the crew audio separately from ATC with Lavalier mics. Ausgezeichnet! Danke!
Usually I can't watch such a long video, but this one was just so nice I could not leave it. Thank you so much !
I am always impressed by the fine professionalism of Lufthansa crews. I will fly with them any day. Excellent video, AirClips!
I enjoyed every bit of the flight , very informative with a great crew like you were right there in the cockpit. The camera views were really special especially the 360 was something else. Thanks again for letting me join you on this flight.
Great flying and skill on a challenging aircraft.
This was very special. Such a friendly professional crew and a real insight to the MD11F Thanks to all involved - The Best 2hr s 28 on CZcams 👍👏👏🇬🇧
Great Video. Brought back many memories of my flying from Frankfort to JFK in MD-11 on World Airways.
What lovely pilots. And professional too.
Thanks Axel, Günter and Simon! Hope the transition to the 777 is going well.
Amazing the longevity these planes have had. It really shows you how ahead of their time they were. Love seeing the Fed Ex ones land at KBOS.
They had to change the rules to make these planes irrelevant... ETOPS that is.
There's an attachment you develop when around a certain aircraft for a period of time. Especially for those that have the airplane bug. I will forever miss those planes i grew up with, and their sizes and sounds they made. The magic in the air will be gone forever now that they are gone. They were unique and nothing will be like them. Unless blended wind body jets come out, unique planes are gone.
Lufthansa cargo I have new respect for your organization, hearing of your charity work for the underprivileged children of Nairobi. We are only as good as our team & the Captain requesting 100% teamwork so that no one did anything without discussing with everyone. Cargo shipping is an amazing industry in itself & I hope other airlines are training pilots as genuine as these guys are. Thank you for your service to your country & the cargo industry.

✈✈Outstanding video, Great Aircraft, and Amazing CREW. I really appreciate the efforts made to shoot this film. Looking forward to see more so keep up the marvelous work. ✈✈
Nothing makes me happier than a captain/first officer who A. Enjoy what they do, and B. Know their aircrafts lol
Fantastic Crew!!
One of the first flights I remember as a child was on a Continental Airlines DC-10 back in the '70s. What a great aircraft!
Thanks for the wonderful video. MD11 Cockpit is great with the spacious Windows! I have good memories of a Swissair MD11 Jumpseat Rotation in 1997 to KIX and back to ZRH (with a good friend) And a lot of memories of my father in the 1980‘s when I could visit him in the DC10 Cockpit:-)
This was an absolutely fabulous experience.
the nearest I would ever get to a cockpit.
New pastime for me.
Outstanding an professional crew really enjoyed it
Love it! Great crew and aircraft. Good luck to them. One of the best videos ever on this channel .
What a great trip showing us behind the scenes! Excellent!!!
Ich muss ganz ehrlich sagen, dass dieses Video einfach nur perfekt war/ist. Das war wirklich wundervoll. Ich wünsche allen Beteiligten nur das Beste und werde selbstverständlich auch etwas spenden. Das Video ist absolut außergewöhnlich. Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Einblick.
I finally found out who the Austrian is. The earlier flights he was in plain clothes. I thought he was the cameraman. It's good to see that they all communicate during the flight for all situations. Makes me feel safer when I fly. Even as human cargo.
I really loved seeing this! I was incredibly fortunate to fly on 3 of the last 10 or so MD-11s in the LH Cargo fleet in the summer of 2019. It was an amazing experience and this video brings back all the feelings on that trip. Thank you!
I enjoyed this so very much. I used to travel from Portland Oregon to Pensacola Florida on the Delta Airlines MD-11. My dad would always look to see what aircraft I was on and he was always relieved when it was the MD11…I wish I could’ve been on this flight. Brought back lots of memories and was very educational. What a wonderful crew…very professional and friendly🌸🥰🌸
Always respect to pilots, great job they do!
Thanks to Lufthansa Cargo, the flight crew and Air-Clips for letting us fly along!! Really enjoyed the background history's of the crew, their passion for flying could not be denied!! Please keep the videos coming!!
Daaaaang. Look at all that cargo PLUS passengers. Amazing. Bravo!
Really great video.. watched the whole damn thing. Great commentary and professionalism by the crew. And GREAT video quality. I truly enjoyed this... Please keep doing these videos .
Amazing, thank you so much for making these! Will miss the Lufthansa MD-11s. Amazing crew, amazing airplane.
Hi Alex Gunter and Simon - thanks for a great, informative flight. Your history of how you came to be airline/cargo pilots was interesting. Hope we see you all again on the B777 F or some other flight. Cheers
Love this crew! I love the 777 and have only been on a few MD 11! Thank you for the video camera folks, company, editors and this channel for bringing this video to CZcams viewers like me! God bless your retirements!
This is marvelous,I never knew so much effort is done before a plane is airborne.I salute d pilots.
We at AA used to completely overhaul those MD-11’s in 2 wks…kind of an amazing accomplishment I think
From Algeria. I respect this capitain verry whell.
I saw him with Children in Kenya he was treating them like father. Thanks for him.
Great movie, wonderful to see three guys that love and enjoy their work so much. Thanks to the guys for a very entertaining two and a half hours, and to Patrick for his hard work in bringing it to us.
you guys all are amazing and inspire me to follow my passion! Thank You!
You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed it and got some inspiration! Good luck!
These pilots were terrific and great to listen to. They love what they do and you can see it. Patrick, great job for you too !
Excellent crew and amazing CRM. Loved the teamwork vibe and friendly atmosphere for a healthy work environment. That’s the key for a safe operation. I’ll miss the mighty Lufthansa Cargo MD-11.
The pilots Austrian accent you can cut it with a knife. Listen to Patrick of Airclips. He sounds clear almost British or Canadian.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Thank gentleman for a good flight and the good company I enjoyed spending time with you today...
I had so much fun riding along with you! Thanks to everyone who made this possible. Beautiful film!
You guys are great! .Love MD 11 Thank you for sharing such excellent video. Enjoyed all the flight.👍
Really enjoyed that. My first ever transatlantic flight in the 80's was with Lufthansa.
Fantastic crew, great CRM, wonderful professional atmosphere in the cockpit. Great video, makes me want to move back to fixed wing.
Fabulous production! Such an AMAZING aircraft, I'll miss the MD-11.
Incredible video. Many thanks to the flight crew for their enthusiasm in sharing with us the cockpit and their stories. Couldn't have been better.
Couldn't agree more! I always love to know more about the crew's path in live and how they really are :)
Nice riding with you best pilots and best captain never felt better in any other flight
Fantastic video.nice to see the whole story from start to finish, presented by a very professional and happy crew who clearly love their jobs. I envy you !!
Yes, I wish I enjoyed my job 1/2 this much.
