EwL, there are some serious restrictions re opening the freight door.
From memory it has a max of about 40kts, and this could restrict maintaining schedules in the European winter.
It is a specialist machine.
Give me a Boeing 377 - it had great volumetric capacity.
Torres, the airplane also takes rockets parts to South America.
It must be a low weight payload to get across the Atlantic.
