If the 747 and 380 can be retrofitted for cargo, they still may have life. The 747 that dumped water and retardant on the California fires this summer was appreciated. An now it can move to Australia to help with their fires.
Technologically unfeasible for cargo conversion due to poor floor load limits. Modification of floor not economically possible due to mating issues with composite fuselage structure.
Apparently there are wildfires still going on in Kalifornia
380 will never be a cargo aircraft.
An awful short life span.... I did not figure this plane would last.
Strange you refer to it as a "gas guzzler" when it's fuel burn per seat is better than the B747. Just saying.
