I much prefer Boeing to Airbus, except the guppy. All that being said, an 800 is a decent compromise, and probably the penultimate guppy. The 900 and ER is too limited. It is very good if you have 13K foot sea level airports, and less than 6 hours to fly. Shorten the runway, or raise the runway above SL, and the superguppy is a catastrophe.

A new 320 or 21 is a vastly less compromised airplane, and after 8 years, my back isn't killing me.

2 months back in a guppy and I am googling massage shops.

I will take a 57 any day over anything without twin tails and wingtip 'winders'.
