Even though the range is up to 8000 miles my longest flight is only 6600 miles but this could change if somebody mentions a good LR replacement

What about the Airbus A340-200 or -300 model? Both come out in 1993, with their maximum payload range being between 8,000 to 8,300 miles.

Either the a330/40 or 777-200er-lr are good options too plus the fuel flow is really low compared to the 747sp

A340-200, A340-300 and B777-200.

IRL though there were so few 747SPs that they barely count. 

 

Rather keep buying 747-200 (can cover most of routes where you can earn some real money), 1011 and DC-10 and replace them with 747-400, 777 and A330 later.

 

If you catch some used 747SPs, and too many players will put a lot of them on the used market, they can make money, but not as good as some others. Later replace them with A340/777, as others recommended.

 

And when you get to that point, the same drill, avoid 772LR and buy only used. -.-

I need to use 747-SPs because it's the only airplane that can reach America form India until the A340

[vistaraR1]

[Jarkii]

I want it too and have ordered 10 units as initial order and planned to take up to 40 more planes. The only aircraft in 1970-1990 that able to reach US west coast non-stop from Jakarta, and possibly middle US area from east Indonesia...

Concorde

without a doubt the best option

Replace the SP with the standard 777-200 or -300. Both will have enough range to cover your rates
