BOAC

I have flown far higher wing sweeps than any airliner with far greater 'lifting' tendencies, and my PERSONAL technique has been to fly the a/c. The into-wind wing does not just start 'lifting' at rotate.
BOAC, I'm not saying we disagree, but what were the wingspans of the aircraft you flew with greater sweep angles?
