..... nothing beats a 727 takeoff (especially off 05 at ADL full load to DRW).
I remember it well from the other side of the fence, indeed the other side of Tapleys Hill Road - Marineland Caravan Village, in an onsite van with the kids on summer holidays. At about 06:55 the procession would make their way down along F6 - the whistle of 12 or more JT8s in loose synchronisation - music to the waking ears.
Then as they turned one by one onto 05 and the big levers were moved, the roar was satisfying beyond clinical explanation as the caravan walls vibrated in sympathy and occasionally the crockery would rattle.
So fortunate to have lived in that era; you just can't explain that to kids these days.....
When the 727s and DC-9s went, plane spotting lost a lot of its magic. The ANx and TBx series were all well known and loved by us, especially TBK with its Central Australian colour scheme at one point.
Happily it escaped the furnace - these days it's outside an office building in Stilling, Denmark.
