I would have wanted so much to fly one of those beautiful noisy birds.
Unfortunately I arrived much too late for them.
Anyway it was with these aircrafts in mind and not Airbuses that I decided to pursue a career in aviation.
I like flying and not pressing buttons on FMS CDUs, therefore I will always regard them as my dream-planes forever.
They did a magnificient job for decades and still now, even if in very limited numbers.
For this and many other reasons they deserve the whole respect, even from today "computer" pilots.
