We have at least 4 74s in lbs.

So to recap, it's lbs on the 76, except for at least one, and kgs on the 74, except for at least four. Basically, it is in lbs or kgs. You'll figure it out.

And because you're aware of it, it surprisingly isn't an issue.

Jet Fuel, Speedometers here and overseas and your weapons knowledge better be solid. Coming from the military side the Kilo’s threw me. Now it’s nice to know I have twice as much as I thought I had. Several heart murmurs in those earlier beginnings before the mindset change.

Any thoughts on Atlas getting the 777-300ERSF? They’re hiring plenty of 777 pilots, it doesn’t seem unconscionable that there may be new aircraft coming this way in 2021.

21% cheaper per tonne mile then the 747. That's some significant cost savings.

It makes too much sense. They could also more than afford a new contract with even just a fraction of the savings.

They'll have to wait until the launch customer (Kalitta) gets theirs first.
