- rsynnott 2y agoOnly up to the 747-300. Though actually, some of those seem to still be in use; I wonder were they ever retrofitted to dump the flight engineer.
- rad_gruchalski 2y agoWikipedia says there are only 2 747-300 remaining in operation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boeing_747_operators https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boeing_747_operators.
- rsynnott 2y agoAlso about 15 200s, tho, and, amazingly, precisely 1 100 operated by the Iranian airforce. Even more surprisingly, there are a few 707s still in use!
- rad_gruchalski 2y agoAnd any other remaining 707 system will remain in standby and service for ten years after the last 707 is retired. I’m sure someone with an in-depth knowledge of DO-178C could formulate it better than me.
