I'm betting that it will turn into a fiasco and possibly new life for some left over MD-11s sitting out in the desert.

How many MD-11's do you know about being stored in the desert? Just about every passenger MD-11 that comes on the market gets bought by an air freight company.

Sorry but your wrong also. Sitting at OpaLocka Coast Guard Base are 8 MDs awaiting to be cut up for spare parts and scrap metal, 2 NWest,2Tigers,2 airlux and so on saw them there today going to the BX at OpaLocka ( NW part of Miami )

fine with me, buying 'em from freighters only ups the price.

But the drawings are there and the mods worked in the past. Experienced labor is probably as retired as I am but there ain't any alternatives.

(I'll ask my resident spook to check out how many MD11s are sitting out in Mojave but it'll take awhile to explain where the engines should be)
