Cool

No Whiskery...I hadn't retired when the first 727 landed in Mel, as a matter of fact I was on a DC3 intake course!

If I remember correctly it was about May 64' when I was doing Link, that TAA followed by AoA landed at Essendon!
(If I'm wrong I'm sure I'll be corrected)

If my memory serves me correctly TAA used the term 'whispering jet' but not Ansett.

I also think it was about that time that Davies book was available in Oz.

Anyway, not withstanding the sentiment that a lot of pilots have towards the book, does it tell you anything that the Boeing or Airbus manual doesn't in respect to flying a jet?

I don't think so!

But hey!...that's just my opinion...is that ok!?
