Specifications, range and ferry range

Hey in the article the Specifications are:

"Range: 504 nmi (580 mi, 933 km)
Ferry range: 441 nmi (507 mi, 817 km)"

The Ferry range is always the largest range possible for any type aof Aircraft, afaik? Especially Jets or bombers use internal and/or external fuel tanks to increase the range, the weapons are dismounted for that use if possible or no ammo is carried, also the crew is reduced to the minimum to increase range?

The '441' figure was added in this edit by a blocked user prone to making these types of mistake. Odd as 441 is not a figure in either of the cited sources, I have restored the information immediately prior to that edit which is from the more informative of the cited sources, the other cites 500 miles which agrees.

Ferry range is generally the max range an aircraft can reasonably do. So this lower 441 nmi value seems dubious. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:00, 8 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
