- angled 4mo agoNot sure if you ever make it over to HKG but there are quite a few cargo 747s that still seem to be making the rounds. CX and others have them on the GA / cargo side, and when on Lantau you often see (and hear!) them on final or takeoff. I think CX would hate to retire them because from what I understand their load capacity is unparalleled. And you can load horses in them! There'll always be money from that for HAECO to keep them aloft. It's even better when you're at the bus terminal at HKIA and watching them fly overhead...

- anonymars 4mo agoCan you at least explain the reasoning then?
- zz0rr 4mo agothere's a book on this, "How Boeing Defied the Airbus Challenge: An Insider's Account" I don't know if it lays out the safety math but it goes very deep on twin engine safety and some of the fights over the a340 vs. 777 regulations
