    ATA L-1011 DFW

    Ah me, and no camera in hand, anyway,I watched this beauty ascend off of 18 L at DFW this sunday last. She is keeping company with 2 former NWA DC-10s, and flying at odd hours. Add our 3 DFW based 727s and retro jets are still alive and well in Tejas. Oh yeah, saw a corporate DC-8 ,looked like a -72 at LAS.didn't get the registration, over and out.
    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!

    I saw a similar thing at Albany

    It was running a military charter to Egypt.

    Awesome to see a little heavy action for a change.

    Thanks John! I was pretty pleased with the runway choice. I had myself set up at runway 28 but was worried that they would switch over to rwy 1 and screw me. 28 it was!

    I got a tip from Jay who is a fueler at Millionaire. He had told me of the scheduled visit a few days in advance.
