Con-pilot:
Uh, okay. Is that the old Dalforth Aviation?
Braniffs Training Center went intependent after poor old Braniff went Tango Uniform?
I trained there twice, 1988 and 1992, contract training on the whale.
First for Evergreen International, next time for my own $11,000 B-747-200 type rating.
Good school, good people.
Ah, nah, not that big of a deal, just thought a casual question on PPRuNe would clarify some old memories about the B-727 after burner.
Been to class lately on the 727 for AA and nobody ever heard of such an animal over there in Texas.
Therefore the posting.
It however would make sense to have extra power in the sand box, (Kuwait) as an engine failure at +54 C, even at sea level would slow down yer changes of climbing out of it.
Many times we took off with the B-747 and quit climbing at around 1000'.
We would neither climb, not accelerate.
Just hang there for several long minutes.
Inversion or something.
Would hate to think about loosing one under them conditions.
They have gotten away with it for years.
I guess Boeing builds good airplanes: Lots of margins.
