I remember...
I remember the wonderful 727. Great airplane. Loved it.
Anyway, if starting the takeoff roll in strong, gusty crosswinds,
the center engine used to cough a bit.... (sometimes)
A lot of guys would line up on the runway....facing into the wind
(crooked on the runway)...to first spool up the center engine.
Once spooled, they would straighten out the plane with the
runway, spool up the pods, and off you go.
Fly safe,
