I did ATA L-10 Widebodies out of Midway several times...
ALWAYS got nervous landing or taking off on a hot day at MDW in one of those...
A widebody out of Midway? You're a braver man than I...
If I saw an L-1011 getting ready to take off out of Midway, I wouldn't know whether to cover my eyes so I wouldn't see the crash, or watch so I could get interviewed on TV. That must've been scary as all get-out...6500' is not much runway for a beast like that!
