My guess is that the only seat you have occupied in a 74 had a letter after it.
those aircrafts belong in the museum and should not be flying.Maybe Kalitta needs to invest some money in A380s

Anyone remember how fun it was doing those "mandatory" max power takeoffs out of Newark and trying to level at 2500' with that thing empty?
That was a treat

Rto???
After looking at all the pictures, it does not appear that the thrust reversers were deployed, was this an RTO?

R's are nice, I left LAX with an empty AC going to ANC with R's and it was fun.

704 was -R powered until the summer of 2006, when we had a debacle in Bahrain where an engine was compressor stalling when run up for takeoff. Due to a lack of spares and the difficulty of supporting only one aircraft with those engines, it was converted back to -Q engines that summer. Thus, the difference in AOMs.
