It always amazed me how those lumbering jets would shake,rattle and roll for take-off. Too bad CO has no plans order any 747-8's.The 747 is the real Queen of the Sky, not the 777.
Did you ever experience the engine start-up sequence on an L-1011? Fearsome shaking and rattling, all totally routine. You could always tell who wasn't a frequent flyer because of the panic on their faces.
