Tyro - you may have gathered that I do not see ssg's posts (by choice
), but is he trying to use that as an argument FOR aborting above V1? 51 dead?? As I recall the a/c was going like a train at the time
I cannot recall what the accident findings were.
Re the STN 748, I believe there was found to have been a strong possibility that continued take-off and circuit to land would have resulted in the wing detaching downwind, so severe was the damage and fire. A 'lucky' call in my book. Had it gone badly wrong......................
How are you, John, if you are looking?
