747
Just for the 747 record.
Wardair flew direct from BHX to YYZ for several years, the aircraft often had full passenger loads, but as they were only using part of their range the fuel load was lite, even if full of cargo this usually bulks out before weight anway.
The PIA 747 when they opened the route to ISB had to stop at CPH due to weight issues.
During the days of the old Manchester strikes, B airtours operated BHX Orlando direct.
