Nice planes to fly in. They could take off like a rocket, and head straight up after leaving the runway. It was a thrill to see the ground drop away so fast. Good thing the engines were at the rear because they were incredibly noisy.

I regularly flew Sydney to Melbourne in Ansett 727’s, under an hour wheels up to wheels down was not unusual. They cruised at up to 960 kph and got to “cruising altitude” very fast. Being regulars we always had seats up the front, but I still remember once a meeting was late finishing and we had to catch a later flight. Sitting down the back was not pleasant, it was hellishly noisy.

Always a Bulldog
