Indeed. Having experienced severe turb in this ac ( eg. 700 ft drop in seconds and 51 degr bank angle, of course near Gander, jetstream turned 180 there), having to use max thrust to stay on the ILS G/S into MIA in a downdraft(microburst?) etc. gave me a lot of confidence in this ac. I am sure fellow airmen have seen worse...
