TD , a belated thanks to you [ and all engineers ] for safely designing , making , servicing all our flying machines for the last 52 yrs .
I'd buy your book ..
It's a delight to read your explantions and stories . You have the knack of making them understandable and enjoyable to an old tractor driver with wings .
Seem to remember we could auto start 2 Rolls on 744s until you got Hot 'n High .. Then 1 . Then Manual start .
Agree on the Rolls sound , whether inside or out the -22bs on our by then old Tristars forever embedded . More like a big diesel winding up before fuel goes in . And 'wot a privilege to have handled 4 Rb 211-524Hs on t/o .
rgds condor .
