The 747 classic freighters are dead as a doornail in todays freight market place.
Dead, dead, dead.
Connie found out with his TriStar freighters that duff maintenance could not pay off in the long run...cheap outdated fan locator bearings did him in, even when business was so-so.
When American International died and went to heaven, Connie left a lot of folks high and dry....and owed quite a lot.
I knew several of 'em.
Die-hard Connie fans should look to his age...the usual 'stuff' just isn't there, anymore.
He had a good run, now times are a changin'.
