When
I found out about this release I said to myself its a must.
That is because we get a unique look at DC-8F operations as
well as 747-200 operations. These are two aircraft that
won't be around for long so its a nice thing to have in your
collection. Great walkaround by our 747-200 F/E and just an
all around interesting video showing the cargo being carried
and having the loadmaster talk to us and explain his duties
on board the aircraft. Glass cockpits are great but when it
comes to being classy the gauge cockpits truly are with all
of those dials. It also really shows us how far we
have come in this industry in terms of the transition from
gauge to modern glass cockpits.

In
the last 10 months I have watched the MK Airlines (Douglas
DC8-60F & Boeing 747-200F) DVD at least 50 times and I
have enjoyed it. Special thanks should go to all of the
Pilots and Flight Engineers for their contributions. As for
the MK Airlines DC-8 flights F/E Nigel Hogben (Walkaround at
MSE & his tour of the F/E Panel) and Capt. Louis De
Bruijn (tour of the cockpit) should get most of the credit.
Also, acknowledgement should go to the Loadmaster (DXB-SNN)
for his presentation. As for the MK Airlines 747 flights:
Capt. Nick Harel (Route Information (LUX-FRU-DXB)) and his
F/E Bruce Saunders (Walkaround at FRU & his tour of the
F/E Panel); F/O John Henry (Route Information (DXB-NBO));
and Capt. Mark Hensman (tour of the cockpit (NBO-MSE))
should get all of the credit. The filming crew did an
excellent job with all of the scenery (e.g. Welcome to
Dubai, DC8 Aircraft Loading at DXB, and the 747F Loading and
Unloading at FRU & DXB). I would like to thank the
people responsible for the filming including Director Udo
Schaefer for making these DVDs entertaining. John

Just
keep those cargo DVD's coming! I am a fan of cargo airliners
and I really like the MK operating style, so I shall thank
you for providing me with an inside, first class seat, tour
around MK Airlines. I hope to get Atlas Air DVD next week
and hope that in the future you provide us with much more
cargo DVD's from other great Airlines!

I Just
received this MK Airlines DVD this afternoon and have
already watched it two times. This will, indeed, be a World
Air Routes classic. Not only is the B747-200 featured, but
you even captured a Douglas DC-8-63 as well. It was also
extremely interesting to see how the horses are loaded and
flown - which requires much gentler flying by the pilots -
turns are not as steep and climbs and descents are much more
gradual. There are some excellent (and I do mean excellent)
scenery tours of Dubai. This is a must have DVD that
everyone will watch many times over. Excellent
DVD!!!!!!!!! Stan

INCREDIBLE DVD!!! I asked for an Emirates DVD because I
wanted to see my favorite city, Dubai. And not only did I
get to see Dubai but got to see two "real" classic
airliners. Being a big fan of freighters I got to see some
operations and the DC-8 was fabulous, I really was surprised
how well it was done but not surprised since you guys are
the best at what you do. Thanks again for the great DVD this
one is one is the best in my 5 DVD collection.

It's nice to hear that companies like yours are interested
in making a film about pure cargo operators. Thanks for
providing a great and fitting dvd of MK Airlines aircraft
and crews. Maurice

I just received this DVD 4 nights ago. And I have been
watching it every evening passed midnight. I enjoyed the MK
747-200F very much. I feel the crew did a very good job. And
I hope that Just Planes will release more 747 DVDs. John
