Thumbs up

TowerDog, yes it is the old Dalfort school. I did recurrency there for ten years, also got my type rating there.

The most underpowered 72 I ever flew was an ex-Air France 200 that had -7 engines. I'm not kidding, -7s. With any load at all on board we were thrilled to make up to 290. What a dog. If any 72 needed a AB it was that one. I also got to fly a 100 with the P/W 217 (or 219s I can't remember now) on # 1 and #3 positions and a -9 in #2. Now that airplane was a rocket.
