A little to listen to if you are interested.

Agree but shouldn’t be an issue. A lot of times this SDF/HNL flight does not have much cargo.

So why such a large plane? That isn't like UPS to use some fuel gobbling monster when a smaller plane would work.

Above my pay scale. I believe flights to/from HNL go to Asia and Australia(Sydney)also. Sydney will also go to S Korea etc.The heavy cargo is coming from China eastbound. The HNL flights come westbound from Ontario and Louisville and possibly Philly. Anc(Anchorage) is similar. Eastbound flts from Louisville and Philly are a different story. I believe there are a few large aircraft of these types Md-11, 767, and 747-8f from Louisville to HNL daily.

Don’t know who has watched this yet(if any). But starting at 1:35 you will see a cockpit video of a Max Gross Weight MD 11 taking off in Hong Kong with the timeline of what happened to this crew.
