I just... I can't picture quetzalcoatlas flying. It's only marginally more difficult than picturing a flying giraffe. Nothing on earth today has wings that are used for flying and running; they're such radically different forms of movement with such different stresses.
Maybe the oxygen levels in the atmosphere were higher back then, and there was simply more fuel to be had? I don't know.

I know your last comment is kind of a throwaway but yes, higher oxygen levels are exactly why we had 4 foot long dragonflies millions of years ago.
