Amazing feat for a little Fokker...The charter airlines in Europe would have liked that capacity!
Also in 1974 during cyclone Tracey, an Ansett 727 (was it a 100 or a 200?) set a world record by lifting 311 passengers.
In 1975 a World Airways Boeing 727-173 made a flight with over 300 on board while being shot at and hit with hand grenades lifting off PDQ from Saigon (?)
