Flying the 747-200

What is it like flying the 742? I am currently on a "modern" heavy TP and may be moving to type soon, I was wondering what your thoughts on flying it are considering it's antiquated, more than 20 years old etc etc as far as a safety aspect is concerned, I know this is all down to specific company maintainance & safety culture etc etc but take the lifestyle aside I would love to convert, but as always having a family puts you in touch with your mortality so I have a very small reservation about it.
Comments on the positives would be most welcome

Also what's the bird like to fly in general?

Thanks in advance
