I found this video on the same page that the porposing one was on.

Would it be a CATII OR III?

Minimums was called at 100 feet so that would indicate a Cat II.

Wimps. Anybody can do a coupled approach. Down East International used to regularly hand fly down to 50 and 1/8.

Actually, when shooting a cat II/III at jazz we are required to hand fly from 1000' down to minimums.

50 and 1/8 was DEI's limits with the 727.

Because Jazz spent money on HUD's instead of autothrottles.

And they could do it in a 3 with a wicked cross wind on an NDB approach..

Ah yes, the good old days when we bought Canadian Aviation and immediately opened to the last page!!

I've still got the collection here at home and sometimes when I need a smile I open it and remember the good old days!!
