Then they were fun to fly between JFK and SJU/MIA. The F cabin wasn't the best but the seats were really wide and row 27 was nice if you didn't get the upgrade. I miss them
+1.
I thought I was the only one who liked these old boilers - used to fly them very often on the BOS-LHR runs. They were big, smooth and comfortable. Sort of like riding in your grandpa's Lincoln. Wouldn't win any prizes for beauty or technology, but they got the job done. The premium cabins were spacious enough for me.
