The poor, unloved MD11. I actually feel sorry for it!
My neighbor doesn't.
He has been flying the airplane for quite a long time, and says that...'yes, it demands attention, as does any large airplane, at max landing weight, however, it is a delight to fly'....his words, not mine.
So, we seem to have those at extremes here, such as.....

And now we have yet another MD11 prang,big surprise, and from no less of an operator than Lufthansa.
Time to call this thing what it is, a dangerous unforgiving disaster of an Aircraft, completely unsuitable for civilian flying.
One wonders...has the respective poster actually flown the MD11....or, is he talking through his hat?
Or, are somehow Lufty pilots immune from....slight mishaps?
