Its quite interesting to note that the gliding characteristics of a DC9-10 were very similar to those of a Hunter F.4/GA11 in a Flame Out situation. - even the gear/flap extn. speeds were almost the same.

The most significant was the similarity of the handling on short finals/flare.
Nice not to have to fly the '9 with the controls almost locked solid though!

Still, once again, in agreement with a lot of you guys, what are we talking about?
PRACTICE, innit!
