Lindburgh. .The info about three A/C I gleaned from a press release shown below. Michael Chowdry started Atlas Air in the US and died a while back in an airplane crash. He was looking for a UK AOC when he offered to buy AFX and eventually found one elsewhere. It seems AFX would have been better off if they'd accepted his offer. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> . .. .British cargo airline Air Freight Express (AFX) has applied with the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to operate flights to a new range of destinations including Moscow, Beirut, Tripoli, Bangkok, Beijing, Karachi, Shanghai, Auckland, Fiji, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Tahiti, plus points in North and South America. AFX operates two B747-200 freighters and will be acquiring a third by mid-November.. . </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">A man's got to know his limitations </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">
