1. Many thanks mathy for this little essay on the MD-11, really great overwiev, I printed it out for my "archive".
2. Under "book" I meant AOM.
3. I searched this forum but couldn't find more discussion directly related to LSAS.
4. As far as the "surge" of interest towards the MD-11: coincidence perhaps - as far as I'm concerned it is a very vague/faint and rather unique "project". Most probably it'll go down the pipe sooner or later.
But I don't regret reading the MD-11 stuff, it is a really special bird ...especially with all that history.
