The last existing McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 aircraft – owned by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines – landed at Sea-Tac Airport on the foggy morning of Sunday, Jan. 11, 2015, then departed for its final flight on Monday, Jan. 12.
The airplane stopped to refuel on its way to being dismantled at the Mohave Air & Space Port in Mohave, California.
