>>>There were 131 built in two series (81 in the 1960s and 50 more in the
1980s). All but one or two of the first-series airplanes were (stupidly)
flown to the boneyard a few years ago, leaving just the later ones (and two
early ones) in service now.
As a broad estimate, they burn about 50,000 lbs of fuel in the first hour
of flight, and 20000 for each subsequent hour, or roughly 8000/3000 gallons.
I think when maintenance etc. is factored in, the operating cost is in the
region of $80,000 per hour. TIME magazine did the research in 2013 and
the cost then was $78,000 per hour.
So it had better be a short flight. :>)
