When you're talking about our beloved B707 you need to keep well in mind that the automatics were ****e - 1950s technology. The cabin environment like air con left much to be desired. Then we remember the number of sectors flown between SYD and LHR. My PB was 11 landings in 3 tours of duty SYD-HKG-THR-LHR. The trip back was a repeat. Ah the Good Old Days!!
I call it long haul. No set it and forget it, T/O today and descending tomorrow matey. Overwater nav courtesy of a N/O and overland by NDB and VOR. There was plenty to do managing the old girl too.
