Genuine question - how long is it since anyone conducted regular ops in OZ in jets of this vintage?
I cut my teeth on them but now euro pilots cringe, shrink a foot or two and try to become invisible when one of the very few remaining 732's or 1-11's gets airborne here.
We all used to make that noise but once it has gone from peoples' lives for a few years they won't put up with it again.
The environmental impact issues are significant.
