Had it been sat at Mojave for 37yrs? Must be a nail biting job for the crew flashing something up that's been stood for yonks.. regardless of how dry it is out there
Seems incredible to think that all that smoke was a common sight at airports once. Even the early Comets didn't produce anywhere near as much smoke - and that was much earlier!
Love that video, you take these old aircraft for granted until there gone!
If i remember right the last time i saw smoking like that was in 2004 when DC8's were flying in and out of Manston Airport here in Kent and i used to see and hear them coming over my home i took some photos back then but with these digital cameras nowadays they tend to get deleted!!, i suppose we will not see anymore Tristars and i have not seen my favorite the old DC10 for a long time!

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.
