United Airlines Boeing B747 400 seat review by Lionheart #26300

Wow
I'm a little skeptical that you call this plane a clunker. One of the best planes ever built. Virtually everything was right when they rolled out the first 747-100 to this one. Its not the Dreamliner, but hey it was the cutting edge of Aviation History. still dominates the sky as a Cargo Option Combi. The only concern now is operation cost. That's why Boeing released the 787 series. for pilots this planes handles like a dream and responds like a small turboprop. Only difference is the flare begins earlier due to the height. It can fly around the world making two stops. With new Fuel additives this aircraft could see another 10+ yrs easy. Airlines still like it as 100+ orders are coming in from major carriers for the 747-8 series.
