Nice account, Doug.


....hit my head on the overhead switches when getting into the seat
(hopefully
the B-727 fire handle scars on my scalp will dissappear before I lose all
my
hair).

Pshaw!!! Wear them with pride!


Taxiing takes some care. Sitting higher than I'm used to.....had to refer
to the
groundspeed read-out to keep from spilling the coffee while turning.

Any taxi speed limit? On the 747 also had to use GS readout. Limit was
10kt at heavy weights, iirc. Limit factor was tire overheat.
