Hey IFC!
This flight definitely pushed the 747 to it’s limits, and you all now how I love to push the 747 to it’s limits. This flight was a whopping 17 hours because of head winds. And that was made possible because I had 10 degrees of flaps deployed for most of the flight as you can see. Here is why I do this. Please, let’s avoid any speculation related to this in the comments.

Testing the 747 to it’s limits is definitely fun. I would not chance a 17 hour flight though. Next flight you should ATTEMPT to do should be Project Sunrise with the 747. That would be amazing if you can complete it.
