Interesting information, but sadly, I may never get to use it.

Talking about this Utubia and other not_US countries, I flew in this Uruguayan PLUNA 707 circa 1992.
This is my first video of a Boeing 707. I recorded it in 1988 flying from Buenos Aires to Madrid with stops in Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro.The plane, a Boe...
In that time the flight from EZE to MAD had a stop in Montevideo where in fact you switched planes to a Spanair 767 rented by PLUNA flight crew included (and the #1 purser too, the rest of the cabin crew where PLUNA). So the leg Montevideo - Madrid didn't require the fuel stop in Rio anymore.
In the return flight, in the leg from Montevideo to Ezeiza, I had my first go-around in a commercial flight (I was either a PPL or at least a Student Pilot by then so I had already performed several go-arounds myself in the Tomahawk). The plane that landed ahead of us did not clear the runway in time and we started a go-around from almost above the numbers. It was severely visual daylight, the crew advanced thrust slowly and pitched up slowly along several seconds so it didn't feel so violent*. It was actually pleasant.
These were the only 2 times that I remember having flown in a 707 (I might have done it too at a younger age when I knew nothing about airplanes).
* unlike another go-around I had in an AA 777 arriving from Dallas also to Ezeiza, in very bad weather with very poor visibility and ceiling, rain, and a lot of turbulence, when we went around from the minimums, thrust was advanced at once, we were squeezed against the seat backs, the nose went way up way quickly, and we were hit by lightning seconds after initiating the go around, the thrust-to-weight ratio is really amazing in a 777 with TOGA and 12 hours less of fuel that at take-off. We diverted to Montevideo, like many other flights, but the rest of the flights eventually returned to Buenos Aires while we had to stay for the night while lightning-related inspection was carried on.

Some contextual confusion- at least I think.
Magenta lines seem like a nice thing to have, as the best of pilots seem to occasionally land at the wrong place, and maybe they could get the pilots an I-pad.
But you are so black and white that Bobby interprets you demanding the installation of glass in all aeroplanies.
707...720...KC-135...
We don't really care...they have four wondrously loud low bypass turbofans AND, the ole steam gauge Bobby style flying is romantic.
