THE SIGHT & THE SOUND : Swissair MD-11 HB-IWF documentary from Seoul-Kimpo to Zurich

ILL-FATED SWISSAIR MD-11 HB-IWF SEOUL (SEL) - ZURICH DECEMBER 17, 1996 In order to spend X-Mas with my family in Switzerland and to visit friends later in Leipzig and Berlin in December 1996, another longhaul flight onboard Swissair's MD-11 was on the agenda back in December 1996, my second flight from South Korea to Europe within one month. This video features a flight onboard the ill-fated Swissair MD-11 HB-IWF "Vaud" from old Seoul-Kimpo Airport to Zurich, using the "Olympic route" the first time, saving a full hour flying time, because flights to Europe were allowed to use the direct route between Seoul and Beijing. Even though this is old footage, I do hope, you get an idea of the inflight feeling onboard Business Class on a longhaul flight onboard Swissair almost 20 years ago, despite the tragic circumstances of this aircraft. History of MD-11 HB-IWF Airframe 48448 was manufactured 1991 and delivered to Swissair, registered HB-IWF, August 5, 1991. HB-IWF was named “Schaffhausen”, later “Vaud”. HB-IWF was destroyed on Swissair flight SR 111 on September 2, 1998, crashing into the sea at Peggy’s Cove, Canada, 35 nm from Halifax, killing all 229 passengers and crew members on board.
