I wouldn't be surprised if Boeing went into their archives and dusted off the YC-14 blueprints just to see how to incorporate newer technology and metallurgy.

I'm surprised that plane can get off the ground.That's exactly what I thought.
It pays for the short field performance with extra structural weight in the wing and shorter range.
But is the extra MTOW, max takeoff weight worth it?
