Dear L-1011 Pilots,

Some of you may know I was a DC-8 program for a long time before accepting the task of L-1011 CP. The DC-8 has always been my passion, but the possibility to help developing a program made me join the L-1011 and I leave the program in a very good shape with a 37% of growth and many names very capable of assuming the duties as CP. I would like to thank you all for the time I was L-1011 CP.

For the DC-8 people,

If I can make half of the achievements I had in the L-1011 I would be more than happy!

Happy Flying!!

Awesome Bruno smile Welcome to the DC-8. I remember we had many chats about it when I was CP. I have a Delta DC8 manual on my bookshelf if you need anything I'd be happy to scan you some information. Don you said L-1011 sim. I'd fly down there monday for some sim time smile I love my benefits.

Well done Bruno! You will make the DC-8 program proud. That is next on my list of accomplishments, to try to master "Old Smokey" I've been doing some practicing with her, now to figure out the a/p smile

Make the DC-8 program proud. I like to take the ole smokey one out for a spin every now and again. Thanks for all your hard work with the L-1011, you will be missed.
