This thread brings back memories....PanAm IGSīses last THF-STR-THF with a 727...the guys broke all rules in the book during that last approach into what was then RWY 08 at EDDS and a trainee of my dad - who had worked as an ATCO with PA IGS thru its best days and was good friends with several PA pilots - had him come out of retirement and issue the last take off clearance - I was sitting in my KingAir as no 2 to depart and the silence after the acknowledgment of that last T/O clearance was deafening. We all watched it until the smoke trail was gone...My dads gone, PA is gone and now the mighty 27 is gone.
