I always compared the feeling to taking a chevette down a steep hill trying to bury the needle---everything shaking and rattling.
I miss the good old days of noisy loud passenger planes, at least we still see the 732, 727, and DC-10 here at YYC. Not too mention when the Brits bring in the VC-10, such a shame they'll be retired in a couple of years. Nothing can beat the sound.

True, but their new terminal looks to be an outstanding building. Can't wait to try it out in October.
