NOT TRUE!! A B-747 has about the same glide ratio as the B-707s
that I flew for 17 years, 20:1 or better. From 35-37,000'(6nm),
we could do 125nm easily.

Wow -- that's really impressive. (Of course, it's what happens at the END
of the glide that's ulimately the most important, eh? :-)

Thanks for the education, Bob!
