Another US B-747 Freighter Fleet Gone

[L-38]

"Each aircraft is intended for specific markets, it is highly unlikely that either will compete against each other in revenue service".

I recall that back in the early 1970's, it was commonly thought that the SST would grow in numbers and ultimately prove the dominant airplane that would noticeably change aviation's face in the early 21 century. Who then would have ever thought that it would actually be the RJ (if one even new what an RJ was 40 years ago)?

Although these aircraft all factor in different markets. . . . and with regards to air cargo, the popularity trend to go efficiently smaller continues - otherwise the Scarebus A- 380f''s success (if success ever comes) would be growing.
