Could not agree more. Beautiful aeroplane and very easy to fly being docile close to the ground. Had to watch out for a pod strike in a strong crosswind although easily avoided if you crabbed. Boeing even say you can land with the crab on, very untidy in my book. In the Sim with two out on one side required care with speed and energy but still a pussycat if you didn't get slow. Always felt safe in it with plenty of everything and terrific redundancy with the systems.
Still laugh about BA losing an engine departing LAX, flying on to LHR and even a diversion to MAN. Just another plane ride.
Happy memories, always be the 'Queen' and thank you Boeing.
