Not entirely true. It was in service for 27 years.

I agree 100% with the fact it used a lot of fuel, but the laws of economics mean it shouldn't have been in service for more than a year or so. It was popular enough to fly thousands in luxury for decades at a massive cost. It's the 1% that paid the ridiculous fares.

There's also a market for hypercars which make more power than a Formula 1 car from the eighties, and are stupidly inefficient and crazy expensive. The kicker is they almost never get used in anger (and if they do, usually end up in a ditch).

Not everything comes down to dollars and sense :)
