Based in Brissy sits on the southern apron

Government to Government contract.
|
I'm pretty sure that's the aircraft that got the chemtrails contract...:}
|
there's a DC8 freighter that's been flying building material to Nauru regularly for a Brisbane building company who's been building accommodation for illegal refugees.
Think it's called Construct. |
Commonwealth Government says Beats a 737 three to one weight and $$$.........
|
Our taxes at work !!
|
Based in Brissy I only saw it fly overhead Colmslie departure runway 19 the other day at about 2000ft, the sound made me do a double take, I knew it was a oldy, and even with the engine upgrades it left a nice brown smudge behind it, not as good as the old days though...
|
Beaut!
Thanks all. Inbound :ok: |
"Our taxes at work !! "
Yes, but less of them if "Commonwealth Government says Beats a 737 three to one weight and $$$......... " is correct. |
Since you mentioned 737's, ...we know what happened to your 737-200's, but what ever happened to your 737-400F.
|
737-400F was repossed I believe?
|
Thanks Skystar for the update.
Must say the -400F looked quite nice with the HeavyLift paintwork, suited the 737 aircraft quite nicely. Is the DC8 operating under the old HeavyLift company as well, or is there a new company? Cheers |
This should answer your question:
SkyBus Jet Cargo (Las Vegas McCarran) has deployed its first DC-8-73CF, N807DH (msn 45990), into revenue service. The freighter is being wet-leased to Heavylift Cargo Airlines (HN, Brisbane Int'l) who have based it out of Port Moresby. The DC-8 was recently ferried from Victorville to the Papua New Guinean capital via Honolulu. |
However it is based in BNE since December not POM.
|
Out of interest - anyone know what it's re-engined with?
|
4x CFMI CFM56-2C1
|
However it is based in BNE since December not POM. |
Dont think its spent a night anywhere but BNE since December, the flights are day trips.
|
The freighter is being wet-leased to Heavylift Cargo Airlines (HN, Brisbane Int'l) BTW, where is the DC-8 registered, any chance it is VH? |
