I went on a maint test flight of a 747-SP way back when.
You know empty, light load of fuel. A virtual fighter it was!

I was impressed by its climb, lots of fun.
I'll never fly a SP again, or a 727, or a L1011, or a DC10, or a 747-100/200/300.
May still catch a A300 in Asia.
I almost flew a YS-11 2 years ago, but I knew that the airline was dodgy.
I flew a DC3 once, got to go into the cockpit mid flight, way cool.

I believe it, reminds me of a flight I took on a MD-90 with 40 people on it. I thought we were going to the Moon on take off, way fun.
