"What's sad about?"

Sorry bud. Always sad to see these airliners chopped up. Especially a grand old lady like this. Doing my initial right now on the 744. Seems very advanced to me from my background but high fuel prices are taking their toll. Glad I have the chance. Touch and goes today in the sim.
