You guys run empty to HKG and still make money with payload one-way only?
That is impressive - Hooray for Connie...
I know Evergreen used to do that, long ago, when they were flirting with JAL.
They also own their older planes outright...
And as you say "no plane payments" - you think same frequency as my brains.

I ferried N712CK (ex-Connie) to deliver to the Sheik of Dubai... was 2001...
Then flew it around with race horses, for 30 days to train the Dubai crews.
Was surprised he sold it, was a fairly good machine, ex-Kuwait -269 with SCD.
Heard Connie had so many problems with floors and doors of some 100s...
Guess they were called GATX STC doors and floors.
But that was 10 years ago. Surprise to hear some -100SFs still active.

All the best to you

Happy contrails
