The One-Eleven was built like a brick s@!t house

There seemed to be no real problem with the life of the pressure hull a blessing it shared with the DC8.

If it hadn't been for the noise issue they would be flying on and on.

Those two are just kids in airframe hours.

Someone should give Richard Branson a nudge and advise him that two beautiful and immaculate pieces of unabused prime British heritage are up for grabs and would be worthy of a good home.

I believe that one of them belonged to a Mr Kenneth Rogers who got
sort of spooked at flying in it after a hard landing in Detroit - it was seen
frequeuntly at Springfield Mo (Branson) and Lost Wages

Nicely kept aeroplane as I recall

200JX came into Denver quite a bit. Was a nice bird. Crew came to Denver for their FAA checkrides (have to requalify as crew every 24 months) while I was working there. Was definitely a treat to get to handle her from arrival to departure. Very nicely flown.

Very nice but I'd have thought that being restricted to a maximum of FL280 in a very large chunk of the world's airspace would be a little inhibiting.
