Respect.....you must also remember the Sagittair Be18 to LSGG [I think]..I used to be an ATCA 3 in Noise monitoring by the Cargo area round the corner from Seaboard World's stands. I recall one night the IB2250 taxied straight across the grass to stand. We've lived through the "Golden Age".....Kar-Air swing tail DC-6...Deux Ponts etc.......now all replaced by things that sound like vacuum cleaner engines on steroids. Noise limit in those days was 110 Pndb day and 102 Pndb by night....with a few discretionary night slots available to accommodate unforeseen delays or extra unplanned movements. Rgds.
