5. McDonnell Douglas MD-11F
MTOW: 286,000 kg
The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 is based on the successful DC-10 and is easily plane-spotted thanks to its third-engine located at the base of the vertical stabiliser. The MD-11F variant had 53 units built, between 1988 and 2000, and could be powered by GE or Pratt & Whitney engines.

Antonov
Dear Sirs, please be informed that Antonov family aircrafts are not Russian but Ukrainian designed and made.

Boeing seems under represented? I did once crash an Ilyushin though, pretty much all you could do with them.
