Vickers Super VC-10 (mod)

Vickers Super VC-10 (mod)

Here's a plane which I have always found to be elegant. It made regular flights to Montréal in the 60's.

The Vickers Super VC-10 distinguished itself by being one of two rear engined four jet airliners, the other (same size) being the Ilyushin Il-62. It too came to Montreal at the same period. Both planes were put into service the same year, 1963.

Ilyushin Il-62

A business jet made by Lockheed, the Jetstar also had four rear mounted engines and featured long-range tanks on the wings.

The first picture in this serie of 4 was taken at Dorval in 1973. Despite its poor quality, it remained the only picture I had of a Jetstar. The three other pictures were taken at the Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa. It was kind of a "back to the future" experience...

For comparison purposes, here is an Ilyushin Il-62 (nicknamed OK-Jet) from Ceskoslovenské Aerolinie (now CSA, Czech Airlines)
