I grew up fairly close to an airport… Allegheny airlines flew the BAC. You didn’t even have to look you could tell by the screaming noise what it was. What a great sound.

MCI is Kansas City Intl Airport in Missouri, not Kansas. When TWA was in business they had an.overhaul base located there as well. My father worked in the glass office building for TWA across the interstate.

Also American Airlines, Allegheny and Mohawk had the BAC 1-11 in their fleets. Noisy Rolls-Royce Spey engines.
