I wish the crew a speedy recovery and hope everything turns out well for them!

Fly Good!
704 was Q powered, 700 is the R powered bird

Bottom line is that Kalitta and other carriers that are operating such antiques will be faced with these or maybe even worst kind of disasters and they just need to overhaul their fleets.
I highly doubt that aircraft age had anything to do with this accident. Wait for the report.

704 is (was at least when it came to Kalitta) R powered.

The last CD I have has the relevant differences in Vol I, FOB 5-21

Flew it 35 times

I just check the AOM II in differences and they listed 704 as a Q powered aircraft.

well thats what happens when you fly old dinosaurs:(those aircrafts belong in the museum and should not be flying.Maybe Kalitta needs to invest some money in A380s:)
atleast the crew came out alright from this scary ordeal,wish em all the best.
My guess is that the only seat you have occupied in a 74 had a letter after it.

Well they must have swapped them from the Rs it came with. That's too bad it was nice with the Rs.

Anyone remember how fun it was doing those "mandatory" max power takeoffs out of Newark and trying to level at 2500' with that thing empty?

That was a treat

Rto???
 
After looking at all the pictures, it does not appear that the thrust reversers were deployed, was this an RTO?

R's are nice, I left LAX with an empty AC going to ANC with R's and it was fun.

704 was -R powered until the summer of 2006, when we had a debacle in Bahrain where an engine was compressor stalling when run up for takeoff. Due to a lack of spares and the difficulty of supporting only one aircraft with those engines, it was converted back to -Q engines that summer. Thus, the difference in AOMs.

She WAS the queen of the fleet - but oh, well.
