BW>American Airlines had a ton of
BW> JC> them and they were based at BUF, ORD, LGA.  BAC-111-400.
BW>I wasn't aware that AA had them.  -400?  Does that mean the fourth
BW>version,  or was there no -200 or -300?  Do you know of any flying 
BW>today?  There must still be some around.
Boy Bill, you wouldn't want me to start lying to you here would you.  I 
never flew the A/C but I was ........ close to doing so just before they 
went out of service.  I'm just guessing here but I think that Braniff 
had the -200  I don't know if there was a -300.  The Crews loved them as 
they were off the beaten path and made it a little more challenging.  
Pilot wise it had Nose Wheel Steering on both Pilot and Co-Pilot side so 
as Co-Pilot you got to get used to maneuvering around ORD and LGA.
I know that they are flying today.  It made it an attractive purchase to 
Companies that wanted a Jet and at a very attractive price.  It had the 
Roll-Royce Spey engine and was a noisy bugger.  I seem to recall that 
there was a stretched version and of course you see the most of them in 
England.
