Your Shit May Even Be Later

UPS and FedEx said they are grounding their fleets of McDonnell Douglas MD-11 planes “out of an abundance of caution” following a deadly crash at the UPS global aviation hub in Kentucky.

The crash Tuesday at UPS Worldport in Louisville killed 14 people, including the three pilots on the MD-11 that was headed for Honolulu.

MD-11 aircraft make up about 9% of of the UPS airline fleet and 4% of the FedEx fleet, the companies said.

My guess is that those airplanes will go to the boneyard, especially if the AI bubble crashes things next year.

    A I was surprised those aircraft were still in service
    B. It's a derivative of the DC10
    C We were in the Cinti airport waiting to board a United Flight when one of their DC10's lost a motor on takeoff at ORD in 1979. United had their one for the day so we were golden.
