N803DE ¦ ZRH 05.03.2006

                                            McDonnell Douglas MD-11 (c/n 48474/485)
World Airways
Zürich-Kloten (ZRH/LSZH)
05 March 2006

Built for Delta Air Lines in 1992, this MD-11 joined the World Airways fleet in March 2003, still as N803DE, and was painted in 1970s retro colours. 

As such it paid an unscheduled visit to Zürich for attention by SR Technics, coming in from Shannon on two engines only, with the no.2 engine in the tail not running. Flying the MD-11 on two engines is basically no problem, and while the flight had been planned for a couple of days, due to the extremely windy and snowy weather at Zürich, it was postponed until this day.

N803DE continued with World until 2008, when it was acquired by UPS and converted to a freighter. UPS flew it until 2023, when it was retired and eventually broken-up at Victorville in early 2025.
