Always nice to watch the Pros ..

I think the preflight cleaning was just for show, that birds looks dirty and old - nice  :D

Few things:
- check the EPR readings (not the values, the needle positions), way off any TO settings on our 707 where you can drive them to 12 o'clock position while those guys seem to be at 8 or 9 max. Try this setting in the sim and you can barely taxi  :P
- very gentle FO, holding his hand over the very bright gear warnings on that dusk TO
- See how they operate the yoke (that's what I call a yoke, it's huge), no power driven flight controls here (except for the rudder I think)
- was that some Dutch rolling on the approach at the end of the video?

Thanks for the vid, Martin.
