Overweight

Thanks Trojan, just was unsure which weight you had exceeded. The "H" and the "E" had the same weight limitations, however the -15's were considerably more powerful giving much better hot & high performance to the "H" model. I am sure the "pucker factor" would have been pretty high on the take-off out of Richmond at 176000 lbs, especially in summer. mmciau, hope your wife enjoyed the Hercules experience, although the circumstance of her travel probably was not the time for enjoying the Lockheed legend.
