Like the '57 Caddy, the purchase price was paid long ago, but the running costs are high compared to more efficient new models.

So profitability depends on the mode of usage.

And with the best will in the world, they are noisy compared to more modern jets (noise footprint.)

Still a very nice passenger experience.
