The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 made its maiden flight on August 29, 1970. It was designed as an wide body airbus for mainly domestic flights in the USA with a typical seating for 270 in two classes or a maximum seating for 380. Later models, such as the DC-10-30 and DC-10-40 had intercontinental ranges. In March 1974, a Turkish Airlines DC-10 crashed due to a design flaw in the cargo doors. In 1979 an American Airlines DC-10 lost an engine during takeoff and crashed. All DC-10’s in the USA were grounded until it was determined that the engine breakdown had been caused by improper maintenance. The aircraft had a widespread public apprehension and a poor fuel economy reputation.

When all design flaws were rectified and fleet hours increased its safety record became comparable to similar era passenger jets. Production stopped in 1989. 386 aircraft were sold plus 60 of the military version KC-10.

KLM has had 13 DC-10-30s in service from December 1972 to 1995. Some were leased to VIASA, PAL and Garuda or sold after a short time. Of the 14, KLM itself has had 5 in long-term service. The PH-DTB was sold to Northwest Airlines in 1995 and became N229NW. The DC-10 was replaced by the MD-11. The N237NW was owned by Northwest Airlines, which cooperated with KLM within Skyteam. One side of the aircraft had the Northwest livery while the other side had the livery of KLM.

Martinair had a total of 9 DC10-30s in service from November 1973 to September 1995. The PH-MBT was leased to Garuda from 1979 to 1992 and sold to the Royal Netherlands Air Force in 1995 to be converted into the KDC-10. The DC-10’s of Martinair were replaced by the MD-11.

The MD-11 was the successor to the DC-10. Same configuration, but a slightly longer fuselage, new engines, improved aerodynamics and a modern cockpit. The aircraft made its first test flight on January 10, 1990 and in December 1990 Finnair was able to take delivery of the first aircraft. After the merger with McDonnell Douglas, Boeing decided to cease production of the MD-11 in March 2001. The last passenger MD-11 rolled out of the factory in 1998 and the last freighter two years later. A total of two hundred MD-11s were built.

KLM operated 10 MD-11s from December 1993 to 2014. They had a configuration for up to 320 passengers: 24 World Business Class, 26 Economy Comfort and 270 Economy Class. The aircraft were modernized in 2006 and 2007. From July 2012, KLM started phasing out the MD-11 for economic reasons. The last flight was carried out on October 26, 2014. KLM was the last airline in the world to use the MD-11 on regular intercontinental passenger routes.

Martinair has had seven MD-11s combi/pax/freight and in service since 1995 of the types CF (combi/pax freight) and F( freight only). The CF's were used in the summer months for passenger flights to distant holiday destinations. They could carry 368 passengers. After the summer of 2008, all MD-11s at Martinair were only used for cargo flights. The first aircraft left the fleet in 2013. On July 1, 2016, the last one flew to Southern California Logistics Airport (Victorville) for scrapping. I have combined all MD-11s in one download which you can find on the download page: McDonnell MD-11 Dutch Pack for FS2004 or McDonnell MD-11 Dutch Pack for FSX
