A few years back someone hired it to take a whole seismic crew, including 4 big vib. trucks and the recording truck, to Oman. Just drove on , tied down and took off.

It flew from Budaapest I think to Seeb - cost a fortune but saved months of stripping the vehicles down, loading them on a boat and then rebuilding and recalibrating all the hydraulics and electronics on arrival

understand they were in operation 4 days after leaving Hungary..........
