Had a great day at the airport thanks to FedEx and Orbis Canada.
Orbis has a flying eye hospital on board a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and is dedicated to saving sight worldwide.

Pulling a Boeing 757 is easier than I thought
It was a great day to see aircraft up close
The MD-11 came much later after the DC-10, sometime in 1990.
(I still remember 'seeing' the DC 10 and Lockheed TriStar L-1011's as a child in the '70's)
This is what an airplane without passenger seats would look like
First time standing underneath here
As a child I had the opportunity to go into the cockpit of every flight we took and I remember seeing the Swiss Alps from the cockpit of a Boeing 747 ☺
Gone are those days ...
The cockpit of the MD-11.
I'm guessing these are pitot tubes. What are pitot tubes?
They are supposed to be closed like this when the aircraft is not in use. So small, but so vital
Engine of the MD-11
The progression of safety
Imagine a world where you can't see.
Without sight, there would be no flight
How many different airlines have you flown on?
The child in me could spend all day watching planes land and takeoff, but it's time to go home ☺
