Would have never believed it, but darn if KC10 isn't on to something.

I do miss that multifunction heading knob.

Stop the McD hate !!! haha
I've flown both the 737 and MD-88 and I'll take the Boeing any day. I do think that when using LOTS of reverse thrust you can minimize the rudder on the Maddog.

Oh, and of course a Southern boy scrapped a bucket, we're just not as talented as you Yanks, it has nothing to do with more airplane behind the mains either. But hey, we make the North guys look good!
