Are you serious!!!

Any airplane that pays as well as the new and improved “guppy” is worth it.

Personally I think all the airplane bashing is getting a bit old.

I flew the “thunder guppy” and in the day it had the latest technology. PW JT8D engines, no autothrottles, max speed .78 Mach (normally started shaking before then and cruised at .73), two VORs and NDB, full analog ADI and HSI, Collins FD, non-color WX radar, 3 hour max range (need reserves) with people, really noisy cockpit, great eyebrow windows, CWS for those who couldn’t hand fly very well and an autopilot that would track an ILS, VOR and heading bug.

Of course Boeing upgraded it to the “yuppy guppy” and gave us flatten CFM engines, partial glass, an MCP with CATIIIA capability, and yet it didn’t go any faster.
