Saratoga, slightly off topic - what's your take on the TriStar? I just have the impression that it was always a popular aircraft with the pilots  Smiley


Best tanker the RAF's ever had - shame they couldn't put hoses on the wings - means you can only refuel one aircraft at a time...

Makes you wonder - would it have been more successful if it had been designed by Boeing or MD or a company of that stature...

Well the Tristar...never flew it. I've flown on them and talked to pilots, and from what I hear they are good airplanes. Pilots say they fly a little heavier than the DC-10, slower on the controls and a little weaker, but good for it's job.

I've flown quite a flew flights on them, and hey, they get off the ground. Isn't that what matters?
