g/day everybody.i have a question for our pilot friends out there.back in the 50s/60s when aircraft were a lot more basic than they are now (perhaps not the term) was there alot of difference between flying the different types. ie. the 707/vc10/dc8 or the 111/dc9/737/caravelle or various prop, turbo prop a/c.my point is i remember the 111 crashed because of deep stall? in pre production but went on to be a sucessful aircraft but did other a/c have their problems as well.and were there some dogs out there?. mike
