Cockpit King on Instagram: "The Boeing 747SP and Airbus A340-500 were built for distance — but not for success. The 747SP of the 70s and the A340-500 of the 90s pushed range limits, yet both stumbled in the face of passenger demand and airline economics. Ultra-long-haul flying sounded revolutionary, but the market chose cheaper one-stops over 18-hour marathons. So here’s the debate: would you choose endurance over efficiency, or was the market right to let these giants fade? #Boeing747SP #Airbus
