OK BJ,

You may be the top gun pilots, but suggest you stop pulling flap up on the roll and taking the hydraulic pressure from the gear if that was the case, GPS will keep you away from the hills, ADF will take you to the hills one dark thunderstorm night. You won't beat the law of averages forever as we have seen in Honiara.

Small Freighters at night in Pacific remote areas ??? APA are still using 727LRs across the Pacific from Guam island hop to Hawaii, built tough and take you home. There is nothing wrong with the B737-300F efficient fuel, two crew etc but applied in remote Pacific, max weights at night alternates hours over water, if one found themselves single engine one dark night with bad weather not my idea of fun. Its not a 767/777 category the 737-300 is a domestic aircraft.
