I saw the SuperTransporter at the airshow and I can't believe that the thing flys. The thing is an aerodynamic masterpiece

CONFIRMED!!

Yes the Airbus Transporter was here in Brisbane. It was sitting on the International Freight Apron this morning (22/2/03) at about 10:30am with the freight doors open on the roof.

HUGE

The Super Transporter was parked here in YBTL today (23 FEB 03). An incredible sight indeed.

Where was the camera when I needed it!

expensive cargo

Believe the Beluga was delivering a full load of our new attack helicopters to YBBN.

All i could see while taxiing out on saturday from the international apron was the huge door standing up in the air.

cheers and beers

a nother sales pitch.
