I might be wrong, but I think here are no VIP-MD11's anymore and definetily no more VIP DC-10 (and I cannot even remember that there was a VIP DC-10 at all (just military)).

Seriously, if you follow the advice in my last post and do a simple Google search you will find the answer.
Hint: it was Feb 20 2014.

The original Orbis MD-10-10 is a museum piece now at DMA (it was a testbed for McDonnell Douglas for its first 7 years). The Orbis MD-10-30 - de-converted from freighter with port-side passenger windows restored - flies where it's needed, usually with FedEx pilots.
Almost all remaining DC-10s are with air forces or FedEx (as an MD-10 with a glass cockpit) - a handful are still leased. For the MD-11, almost all remaining examples are with 4 airlines: FedEx, UPS, Western Global, and Lufthansa Cargo. The only ones still on lease are some FedEx examples and minor operators with fewer than 4 examples such as Centurion; the other airlines fully own their MD-11s. The most recent transaction was a sale by Lufthansa of three MD-11s to Western Global.

Yes it is. And this particular enthusiast has already had a reply to his identical question by the time of asking:

Then why bother repeating it?
