Incident with Gemini???
You have your "facts" about as accurate as ever, I see....
Now, please, do put a sock in it. Your negativity is beyond ancient, and unless you choose to enlist in the US Military, odds are you'll never fly as a pax on an MD-11, so why do you care?
Go depress some other forum.

@ stilton :
I thought that Gemini went out of business last year ? How did they manage to have an incident at MVD when they no longer operate ?
PS can someone tell me how to quote from one post into another when replying - I assume that I am missing something really obvious ?

Well, my Son is in the US Military and stands a reasonable chance of having to ride on the MD11, I hope not.
As far as the incident with Gemini, 'tis no myth, just look a few post's up for further information and photographs.
If discussing an Aircraft's poor accident history is 'negativity' then I am certainly guilty.

World Airways has been probably the largest MD-11 AMC/MAC charter partner operating and being one of the first MD-11 operators. The MD-11 military business has been their passenger bread and butter for years, the DOD has allways had preference for the 747 but WOA has maintained a good relationship for reliability and safety.
The difference is experience, your son is far more safe flying on an MD-11 home than being engaged in war.

Stilton,
How many more times. It's a Centurion airplane in Montevideo. Gemini have (unfortunately) been out of business for quite a while. This particular airplane is EX Gemini.

It's easy to see who here has actually flown the MD-11 in command (5000 hrs). The repeating comment is "most satisfying a/c of my career". I second that and might add, satisfaction is directly related to the amount of effort required to fly precisely.
