| Glenn Carter, gdc0414(@)aol.com, 18.02.2010 I flew the 44 1984-1988 scheduled run from JFK - UK twice a week and adhoc charters all over the world. Was very hard airplane to land smooth lol. Was a work horse for a long haul aircraft. Did not do well on short legs. Still have all the manuals for her too. Sometimes miss the old gal. | | don avey, havey, 21.01.2010 worked on this ac from 1960 to 1969, we called it the whispering giant | | Geoff Brogden, geoffb(@)xplornet.com, 18.01.2010 Was involved with this aircraft in the military for ten years, instructing for the first half and flew as an engineer in her for 5700 hours.
