I operated the 74 for the last 20 years of my career. Only one flaw, some see it as an asset, the damn thing just carried to much fuel. Who in there right mind wants to spend 14 or 16 hours in a large tube covering 8000 ++ miles. I'm more in favor of the five hours to dry tanks. Need to land, get hot meal then back in the beast for another three hours or so. Over night stop with a good meal and an adult beverage. Do that another two times and then go home.


But, I still really love that Queen.
