Gulmp! Non-boosted rudders on the big iron? (early ones?) Scary. My old man flew those with USAF and WAL. (water injection runs out and....???????)
Thanks 411a,
It's slowly coming back to me now. I think the ill fated World Airways DC10 was at Logan now that I think about it.
So CAL at LAX he rejected at V1+3 after reaction time?, to an event at V1, is that how it went? Is that the official version or what really happened?
Hoot Gibson type mystery hangs in the balance here.....
I remember that mtc had ground off the brake stack housing knobs during overhaul which were essential surface area to achieve heat dissipation. Fire crews were sitting right there practicing when he rolled up on fire. Two elderly jumped out the downwind exit and died as I recalled.
What's your opinion on DC10 stopping ability if you have any? I was only on it for one year but it was kind of a poor stopping machine at gross weights.
