It probably was a bonehead idea, but probably seemed go at the time. A lot like when Braniff went nuts and outta nowhere..started flying to SEL, Hong Kong and Guam!..But an HP 747...you have to admit, at the time was cool to see! It was like the guy who did the artistic rendition of an Alaska Airlines 747-200. We know it'll never happen..but if such an oddity did occur....photographers from all over would show up in SEA or LAX to see it....cuz they know it wouldn't last long!
