I enjoyed my time on them I must admit.

-500 s with the RAF and then a wake up call flying -100 with Caledonian out of Manchester.

With nearly 400 people on board we were still climbing to FL290 crossing the south coast of UK having taken off from Manchester!

The 22Bs weren't quite as nice as the 524s which made the -500 a relative rocket ship (in it's day).

Thanks Mr Lockheed, had nice times on L1011. I have more hours on the DC10 but prefer the Trimotor any time.

Cat 3C was awesome.
