Thought this was worth watching,thought a few of the aerospace workers here would enjoy this.

The good ole MD 11 (basically a DC 10).Much more beautiful jetliner than any of these modern planes
made in peasant european countries

Very Cool indeed Chris. The trails show the speed of the aircraft well when observed up close.

Thx for sharing.

Glad you enjoyed gentlemen,I usually do not post links as we all get a bit bombarded by that sort of thing.But this was different,never really seen anything quite like that-as the pilot mentioned a 1000ft difference in height-not the usual 2000ft.

I liked how they had the MD 11 in tight framed then slowly panned out away to show the trails.Pitty the MD11 crew did not have a cam corder-imagine that a 747 F8 coming almost along side and slowly over taking you!
