I was a mechanic and crew chief on those for about four years. I always though it needed more powerful engines. If you firewalled the engines it would take a minute or so for the engines to catch up to the throttle. Only 7200 lbs. thrust in each engine. It was a pretty good airplane to work on. Still had old push-pull rods for the flight controls.
