> Great, I have always had great affection for the old "Coal Burner". http://youtube.com/watch?v=vsBycbLWKqk also has a video clip of XM655 at Wellesbourne Mountford where I fly from, pity they don't have a clip of the day it roared down the runway, raised the nose wheel, then cut the throttles to settle back down, an impressive sight. I had also forgotten the noise and vibration when their engines go full throttle - it was an unexpected birthday treat as my daughters had taken me there to select my present. They say XM655, which is being regularly maintained, will one day fly out of Wellesbourne and I hope I don't miss it. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
