The 1979 incident was particularly interesting.

A marvellous plane

It was a dream...a jet fighter plane for civilian transport, exciting although there were dangers due to excessive speed take offs (Pb with tyres). Gluttonous in kerozen it was far being a green kind of transport, but they didn't mind in the past 60's.

The challenge for today is to keep air transport with more clean energy sources !

Thank you for sharing wiltzei :salute:
