The TriStar might be the greatest kite ever, but you need to speak with your employer about some of the places you're going? Yuck!!

At the other Lockheed widebody, we added the gust increment to V1 up to refusal speed. Made for a huge penalty in critical field length, not infrequently to make CFL = TORA. We also added gust to V2. No, I don't know why; yes, it was penalizing on perf.; no, they didn't need to make a profit. So there!
