I'm patiently waiting for planes that exceed the Connie in speed/size/range and the Tu-70 in speed/range.

Does it happen to be called the Boeing 747? lmao. The best 707 variants had a range of around 4800nm tops if memory serves correct.

If an official broker needs bailing out of the red be my guest - I have 45 billion Euro lying around.

Some of the specs I've seen for the Douglas DC-7C have potential to be a Connie-killer. Not sure what could be a Tu-70-killer.

I have 11 billion waiting for big orders, so I'll be fine for the time being. Obviously, if I need the cash, I'd be happy to take it

The DC-7C might be a 1049 killer, but the 1649 should be a bigger, longer range 1049G...

Otherwise... you need the DC-8-50 (-30 and -40 along with 707-320B are almost longer ranged) to beat the 1049's range/speed/size... and it wont be in service this round.

OH and 3 billion... does realy go that far... i mean its not even 100 L1049s.... just save up, you'll need mucho Euros when the 707 comes along.

Why don't you save it for 707?

Out of curiosity, why would the official brokers bother with what they do? It's not like they're really playing a game. They're selling in game items to other who play a game. It doesn't sound entertaining to me.

Many ingam players(including me) both play and "sell items" like you said, even though unofficially. it's fun to sell planes!
How much would cost a 707? there's still 4 years t osave up.

Treat the official brokers as if they're part of the AM team. Providing a service may not be fun but the act of helping people can be very satisfying.

Because it adds a dimension to a game that can be irritating when you have 1500+ routes and no time to update them, that's my main reason I guess.
