411a;

Got so used to pushing the '8 just before touchdown to roll it on that I had to remind myself never to do that on the 1011...I have to agree - finest airplane ever built, beautifully curved windshield, appropriate level of automation and a good FMS, flatplate panels with switch-lights unlike the Boeing forest of knobs and switches that stuck out everywhere, first I'd ever heard of "control channels" in case of a jam....but expensive to maintain.
