The 74's were purchased speculatively from SQ, and for some long forgotten reason we had to eat 'em. FT then started into the PAX business. Flights were mostly carrying Hasidim between JFK via BRU/AMS to Israel. It was a scene. This was not "high end travel." Tigers knew how to move freight, and troops to/from overseas bases. Real pax were another matter. It wasn't pretty. Mike SFO
